7 Worst Uses Of Video Game Plot Armour

Cool guys walk away from explosions, that's a given, but how many do you know that can walk away from being beheaded?

Set in an alternate timeline which saw The Nazis as the victors in World War II, Wolfenstein and its sequels tell the story of William 'BJ Blazkowicz, an American spy waging a one man war against the totalitarian forces which threaten to rule the world.

After the finale of the previous game, where Blaskowicz is caught in an explosion after killing recurring antagonist Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse, The New Colossus sees the protagonist wake from a five month coma and begin the task of liberating Nazi occupied America. Naturally a task of this magnitude is going to come with some setbacks, but I don't think anybody was expecting this hard as nails main man to have his head chopped off halfway through the game.

Not wanting their hero to die, Blaskowicz's team of rebels manage to recover his head and surgically attach it to a bio-engineered Nazi super soldier body. The phrase 'bio-engineered Nazi super soldier body' is mad enough, before you even consider the scientific side-stepping it takes to present this as a viable option. For all his weapons, skills and mountains of muscles, Blaskowicz is ultimately human, and decapitation for even the most resilient of specimens usually has a strong ring of finality to it.

Does this conform to any laws of biology in the real world? Absolutely not. Are we inclined to care when the mayhem gets to continue? Not even slightly.
