Comment on Movies characters always make it through the craziest plot and somehow not get forever traumatized by it. I wish I could be like that, but instead I stuggle to even make/keep therapy appointments.

That’s been changing recently. Hell even the Daniel Craig James Bond movies have him deal with trauma from the job. He usually just shakes it off or says he’s fine, but you can tell it’s hard on him.

Superhero movies are even doing this now, that was a huge plot point in Thunderbolts. That’s basically Hulk’s whole character motivation, too.

It wasn’t as intense as the comic version obviously but Stark had his alcoholic moment and tons of PTSD in his character

  Iron Man 2 and 3. At the time I thought it was a little weird, probably just the way they portrayed it when he freaked out after the kid asked him how he escaped the portal in Avengers.
  
  Even Captain America lost Peggy in his first movie, and didn’t get to truly reunite with her until Endgame. He talks about it a few times throughout the movies.
  
  Superheroes in general deal with tons of trauma. Batman is probably the poster child for superhero trauma. Which is another thing; we can all enjoy Batman as a character and the stories he shows up in, but at the end of the day we all should realize that Batman is not healthy or even fully sane. He regularly throws himself and others into danger, trying to save himself as an 8-year-old night after night.
