17 Times Hair in Superhero Movies Was Unrealistic as Heck

Come on, directors. You can only suspend disbelief for SO LONG!


Okay, we're cool with superheroes being able to perform death-defying feats that save the planet time and time again. They're super heroes - that's what they're there for!

...But being able to do all of that while ALSO having immaculate hair? Now that's just unfair!

(p.s. Minor spoilers ahead!)

1. When Captain Marvel's hair looked like this

giphy.com

Right after crash landing from SPACE into a Blockbuster

giphy.com

No one's hair can be that perfect after a crash landing. NO ONE'S.

2. Also - every single time she takes her helmet off

giphy.com

How do you go from a perfectly even mohawk to beach waves in 2 seconds?

3. When Hawkeye's hair stayed perfectly poofed in a disastrous battle zone

giphy.com

An entire building just collapsed with you in it! There is NO WAY your hair is still so nice.

giphy.com

Nope. This volume is impossible. It doesn't just HAPPEN like this.

4. When Wonder Woman's hair was perfect while she tossed around cars

giphy.com

5. And while she made massive jumps through burning landscapes

giphy.com

6. And while she deflected bullets

giphy.com

Girl, we know that it's the tradition of your people to wear your hair back while in battle. Isn't that much more practical???

7. When Peter Quill's face was literally falling apart but his hair was still awesome

giphy.com

Like shouldn't hair be self destructing also? Do infinity stones not affect the scalp? #seriousquestions

giphy.com

8. When Yukio's electronic chain whip didn't cause ANY static or burns in her super shiny straight hair

giphy.com

Post battle, it looks the exact same. No frizz. No flyaways. HOW IS IT SO PERFECT?

giphy.com

(though we are proud of her for pulling her hair back! Unlike SOMEONE we know **cough, Wonder Woman, cough**)

9. Speaking of lightning... Thor's hair should have been fried right the heck off his head by now

giphy.com

He can't possibly be a conduit for that much lightning without SOME heat damage.

10. Also the idea that Stan Lee's character wielding THESE tools...

giphy.com

...could give Thor a haircut like this is redonkulous

giphy.com

11. Doctor Strange's hair still looking this nice after he was tortured? NOPE.

giphy.com

Exactly 3 pieces of hair are barely out of place. 3 PIECES. Meanwhile, that side part is still absolutely immaculate, as are the slicked back grey hairs at his temples. UNFAIR!

12. Black Widow's super springy curls staying perfectly styled after fighting who knows how many black ops dudes? IMPOSSIBLE.

giphy.com

giphy.com

What kind of hairspray is she using??? Or is she just putting straight up GLUE on her hair???

13. When Gamora's hair looked gorgeous both during...

giphy.com

...AND after a big ole' rolling-on-the-sidewalk fight with Quill

giphy.com

If anything, it looks even better after. So voluminous! Also - who the heck looks that good in a mugshot?

14. When he is FIGHTING BATMAN IN THE RAIN but Superman still only has his one signature curl out of place

giphy.com

Nuh-uh. Nope. We don't care what planet you're from. No one's hair is consistently THAT on brand.

15. How Catwoman's long brown hair never ever ever ever even SLIGHTLY mussed by fighting

giphy.com

giphy.com

No one's hair can stay that straight while being violently tossed in a fight!

16. Or by goggles

giphy.com

Are those goggles designed to be hat-hair resistant or something??? How does her pulled back hair stay so darn perfect?

17. And of course, how Violet Parr's hair is INSANELY shiny in EVERY SITUATION EVER, from street fights...

giphy.com

...to jungle fights...

giphy.com

...to plane crashes...

giphy.com

...to super sibling fights.

giphy.com

Girl never has a bad hair day. Because apparently those just don't exist for superheros.

Love,
