8 Most Insane Instances Of Video Game Plot Armour
7. B.J. Blaskowicz Got Decapitated... But Got Better - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
It's rather past the point to call the Wolfenstein franchise, which once featured Hitler in a mech-suit, ridiculous.. and we wouldn't have it any other way.
But Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus doesn't merely take place in an alt-universe where Nazi Germany won World War I - it also takes place in an alt-universe where decapitation is a mere inconvenience, a simple scratch.
Our ass-kicking protagonist B.J. Blaskowicz has always been a hardy dude, but mid-way through the sequel he ends up being straight-up beheaded on live television.
But B.J. doesn't stay dead for long, as his severed head is intercepted by the resistance group known as the Kreisau Circle, who promptly graft it onto a bioengineered Nazi super-soldier body, as you do.
That is to say, B.J. was dead, but he got better.
And that's far from the only example - in the previous game, Wolfenstein: The New Order, he spent 14 years in a vegetative state, after which he was immediately back to his ass-kicking best, muscle atrophy be-damned!
At least with Wolfenstein being maybe one step removed from Looney Tunes, this blatant plot armour doesn't feel humongously out of place.
