For me, there is some mysterious line between being entertained and thinking, "That's just stupid." Dragons in battle in Game of Thrones on HBO was an example of where "that's cool" turned to "that's stupid." Yes, I could pick on other things in GoT, but that was a point that really crossed a line.
For the most part, I accept things and roll with it, and examples from film would be smothering someone to death with a pillow or breaking someone's neck. Neither of these activities is as quick and easy as depicted in movies, but do we REALLY want to see someone take the real-time necessary to smother someone to death with a pillow? Breaking necks is often a shorthand version of a fight to save screentime and lower the blood splash. Breaking necks? Hell, I came across a wounded rooster once and wanted to put him out of his misery, but no weapon handy. I've seen people break a chicken's neck before, no problem, right? Ha! Trust me when I say that rooster didn't appreciate my first attempt to end his suffering.
