Time stops for the hero whenever he does something 'cool' or 'impressive'. OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence, or why the toast always lands butter side down. Even when the 'Bad Guys' are killed so quickly they didn't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain. Anything that explodes bulges first.
Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science.
Because of the explosive qualities of weapons, it is believed that this is related to the Law of Inherent Combustibility. The destructive potential of a weapon is inversely proportional to its size. The accuracy of a 'Good Guy' when operating any form of firearm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the 'Bad Guys' when operating firearms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. A Good Guy in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of 'Bad Guys' firing on a Good Guy standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.
