History BlessedWithSuck / LiveActionFilms

* The plot of ''Film/EllaEnchanted''. Ella receive the "Gift" of obedience by Lucinda, a fairy. So, is forced to obey every direct order given to her, no matter what. Being obedient 24/7 is just as bad –- if not worse -– as It sounds.

* In ''Film/ManOfSteel'', when young Clark's X-ray vision and super-hearing first manifest, he freaks out from sensory overload and locks himself in a closet.
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' reveals that, after undergoing the transformation from a scrawny kid to a SuperSoldier thanks to Erskine's SuperSerum, Steve Rogers realizes that his boosted metabolism prevents him from getting drunk and [[DrowningMySorrows drowning his sorrows]]. His body neutralizes alcohol faster than he can drink it. [[BigEater His food bill's pretty hefty too]].
** ''Film/IronMan3'': The villain's {{Mooks}} are imbued with a drug called "Extremis", which makes you virtually unkillable and gives you [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]], but it also seems to make you a violently unstable drug addict and you might explode if you're not careful.
** The MCU's take on Spider-Man's enhanced senses have caused him trouble in various movies:
*** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'': Peter likens his powers to SensoryOverload. While he does have a greater awareness that allows him to have better reflexes, it's also overwhelming to take in everything happening at once. His iconic mask with the large white eyes is specifically designed to adjust based on how much input would actually be helpful.
*** The same is PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''. Enhanced perception is helpful on the battlefield, but less so when you're a bored teenager who has to stay put for six hours.
*** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' gives the suckiest portrayal of his powers yet: his SpiderSense warns him about danger a few seconds in advance, but when faced with a problem he can't escape, it just prolongs the discomfort he'd be feeling anyways. Case in point: [[spoiler:when he's being [[TheBadGuyWins killed by the Infinity Gauntlet]], his Spider-Sense picks up that he's dying, and that there's nothing he or anyone else can do to save him. The boy goes out [[MortalityPhobia terrified and crying]] before turning to ash [[DiedInYourArmsTonight in Tony Stark's arms]].]]
** PlayedForLaughs by Hawkeye in ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Civil War]]''. Having ImprobableAimingSkills makes golf really, really boring.
--->'''Hawkeye''': Played 18. Shot 18. Just can't seem to miss.
** ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'': Ava Starr, a.k.a. Ghost, has [[IntangibleMan intangibility powers]] that allow her to turn invisible and walk through solid objects. However, the FreakLabAccident that gave her these abilities also killed her family. She was taken in by a government agency who exploited her powers and raised her as a {{Child Soldier|s}}. To make matters worse, her instability at the quantum level causes her extreme daily pain, and if she doesn't find a cure soon, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath her body will fall apart, cell by cell]]. She's only at odds with the heroes [[TragicVillain out of desperation]] to keep herself alive.

* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'': As expected of this franchise, examples abound:
** ''Film/XMen1'':
*** Rogue's superpower doesn't allow her to touch the ones she loves.
*** Cyclops must ''always'' cover his eyes with a ruby quartz lens, otherwise he might accidentally kill someone.
*** The mutations produced by Magneto's machine are fatal.
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Jones can change television channels by blinking, but he never sleeps.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Havok is very uncomfortable using his mutant ability because of its high potential for destruction, and most likely he has been incarcerated for manslaughter.
** ''Film/TheWolverine'': Yukio's mutant power allows her to foresee a person's death (including that of her own parents), but she can't do anything to prevent it from happening.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
*** After slipping into a deep depression, the younger Charles views his telepathy as a curse because he can no longer control it. He is unable to shut out the clamour of thoughts that he doesn't want to hear, and this causes a tremendous amount of agony, to the point where he becomes addicted to a serum which numbs his ability, allowing him to sleep at night.
*** At the age of nine, Xavier believed that he was mentally ill (schizophrenia, most likely) due to the voices in his head, and it took him ''three whole years'' to recognize that he was actually telepathic -- as dysfunctional as he is in 1973, his childhood experience must have been downright nightmarish in comparison.
*** This is Beast's attitude towards his physical mutation. He goes through great lengths in order to mask what he perceives to be his body's grotesque deformities.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** Professor X invokes this in his opening narration ("A gift can often be a curse"). When a blindfolded Scott Summers tells him that a mutation "doesn't exactly feel like a gift," Charles agrees and responds with, "It never does at first."
*** Jean Grey's ever-expanding superpowers make her life miserable because her classmates don't want to be near someone who's prone to losing control, and she's anxious that she might inadvertently hurt others.
** ''Film/{{Logan}}'' shows that once Xavier is depressed and saddled with dementia, his psychic powers are downright lethal.
