* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** In ''Film/IronMan2'' we never see how Vanko escapes (and kills) the Hammer goons sent to watch him, but according to the scene after, it was ''damn'' bloody.
** A key scene in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' where Steve has to make an impossible leap from one platform onto another as the HYDRA base explodes and crumbles in flames around him. While we do see him attempt to jump, the scene cuts away to the Allied camp, and the implication that Steve had perished in the base. [[spoiler: However, we then see Steve returning with all 400 [=POWs=], indicating that he did make the jump.]]
** While this is more of a offscreen moment of hilarity, we have ''Film/TheConsultant''. The World Security Council wants to put [[EvilCounterpart Emil]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Blonsky]] on ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Knowing that this is a recipe for disaster but unable to deal with it directly, SHIELD sends the most obnoxious person they know to handle negotiations with General Ross for Blonsky's release: [[Film/IronMan1 Tony Stark.]] While we do get to see the first minute of Tony's meeting with Ross in a bar, the rest is left up to the viewer's imagination. The end result is that negotiations go up in flames (exactly what SHIELD wanted), Ross tried to get Tony thrown out of the bar, and [[EscalatingWar Tony responded by buying the bar and having it demolished.]]
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', Steve and Natasha are told that the last remaining Falcon suit is in a heavily guarded vault in Fort Meade. In the next scene, Falcon is wearing the suit while he helps them interrogate an enemy agent. The details of how they stole the suit are never mentioned.
** ''Film/AntMan'': Scott needs to steal a MacGuffin from one of Stark's old warehouses. Except it turns out that this particular warehouse had been converted into ''Avengers' HQ!'' There's an onscreen Moment of Awesome where he ends up fighting Falcon, then it cuts to Scott returning to Pym's house... with the MacGuffin in his pocket.
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'':
*** When the film begins, Thanos already has the Power Stone. It was mentioned later by Thor that Thanos' forces had decimated half of Xandar to get it.
*** In the opening scene, both Thor and Loki are covered in soot and the ship looks like a hurricane went through it, so even though we don’t get to see the what happened in the battle between the remnants of Asgard and Thanos’ minions, it’s implied that [[spoiler: the Asgardians put up one hell of a fight before they were defeated.]]
*** Whatever Nebula did in her assassination attempt, Thanos admits she nearly succeeded at killing him, no small feat given how hard it is to even draw blood from Thanos.
*** How Gamora found the Soul Stone's location is never clarified, but it's impressive considering almost nobody in the universe knows where it is.
*** Perhaps the most galling is [[spoiler: Thor first wielding the Stormbreaker repairing his body and getting a new outfit all while Rocket and Groot look on awed to bone, of course that scene was in the trailer but cut from the actual film.]]
** In Season 5 of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Agent Davis, who was thought to have been killed by Season 4's BigBad, shows up alive with only a tiny scar on his cheek, to everyone's surprise. A RunningGag ensues where the show cuts to him ''just after'' he is finished telling someone the story of how he managed to survive his encounter with said BigBad. All the audience gets to see is the listener's reaction, and every time they say it was the most amazing story they've ever heard.
* Franchise/MonsterVerse:
** In ''Film/Godzilla2014'', the first battle between Godzilla and the [=MUTO=] (save for some shaky news footage later) happens entirely off-screen. In fact, nearly all of Godzilla's scenes ''period'' happen off-screen (he's actually only in around 8 minutes of the film), instead focusing only on the [=MUTOs=] and the human characters.
** In the ''Film/KongSkullIsland'' spin-off graphic novel ''The Birth of Kong'', Kong battles a creature entirely offscreen. By the time the human cast turns up, the battle is over and Kong has won, [[{{Jawbreaker}} with the jaw of the creature he fought positioned a distance away from its corpse]].

** ''Series/DoctorWho'':
*** The Last Great Time War. It could be argued that it's one chapter where less is more and nothing could really do it justice, but still, if it was done right, on a proper budget, that could have been the most iconic moment of New Doctor Who. Check out Ten's brief description of it in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime The End of Time]]".
*** However, Creator/RussellTDavies (who came up with the concept of the Time War) has gone on record as saying that what happened in the Time War is ''impossible'' to depict with modern technology, and that's part of the reason it's never shown.
*** Came close to being shown in the audio drama Dark Eyes. Also many fans think the 50th anniversary will show this.
*** Infamously done in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E3TheInvasion The Invasion]]". Halfway through the serial, the UNIT commanders decide it's about time they rescued Professor Watkins from Vaughn's men. Cut to a scene in which some soldiers are talking about what an epic and dangerous operative that was, and that they're lucky Watkins is now safe in their custody.
*** Madame Vastra makes her debut in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar A Good Man Goes To War]]" coming home after she has finished tracking down and ''eating UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper!''
*** Well, the special gave us ''some'' of the Time War, but mostly Daleks blowing things up. None of the things Ten mentioned back when making cryptic references showed up, but again, it's already been decided by production that nothing could ''ever'' bring home its full intensity.
*** Judging by the revelation that the War Doctor's only 800 when the Time War ends, and the Ninth Doctor is 900 in the first season of the revived series, whatever he was up to in that missing century was almost definitely an Offscreen Moment of Awesome.
*** Not to mention River Song's many adventures with the Doctor while they were a married couple. Though River is a major character in Series 5, 6, and 7, her on-screen adventures with the Doctor only show us a tiny fraction of the time that they spent together, and we never really get to see how they got close enough to fall in love. Of the thirteen episodes in which River plays a central role, in fact, only ''nine'' of them take place at times when they both know each other.
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E13TheNameOfTheDoctor The Name of the Doctor]]" reveals that the Second and Eighth Doctors had an adventure together somewhere in America.
** Played for laughs in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresSkyPirates Sky Pirates!]]'' -- the heroes set out on an expedition to retrieve a PlotCoupon from the heart of an ancient temple full of devious and deadly traps, only for the viewpoint character to promptly be knocked unconscious and not wake up until after the rest of the expedition gets back, plot coupon in hand.

** Creator/FourKidsEntertainment was notorious for removing scenes from the [[Anime/YuGiOh original show]] that featured on-screen physical violence, like a character punching another character for instance.

** In Season 4, Mai's status as a FauxActionGirl finally gets lampshaded when Mai points out that, despite being treated as a complete joke of a duelist, she still has a huge off-screen winning streak. Joey retorts this by claiming that anything that happens off-screen doesn't ''actually'' happen, in which Mai proceeds to mock Joey by saying that his balls never dropped because nobody saw it happened.

** The Siberian is TheJuggernaut and a well-known HeroKiller, to the point that the Protectorate actually avoids engaging her because they've never been able to make any headway. After the [[VillainProtagonist Undersiders]] discover and publicize her weakness, however, [[spoiler:Dragon hunts her controller down and kills him offscreen.]]
** Later, there's Heartbreaker, who throughout the entire story has been built up as a scary background villain, a mind-controller who can permanently force his victims to fall in love with him and uses this power to build up an entire family of parahumans. At some point during the TimeSkip, [[spoiler:Imp -- Grue's kid sister -- murdered him]].
** Golem got one when he [[spoiler:fought at least ten members of the Slaughterhouse Nine]]. And apparently won.

** It's revealed on the "Previously On" episode of Season 15 that Sarge built a robot army to intentionally attack their base so that [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife Sarge finally has another reason to fight again]], only for the robot army to malfunction and instead fight Iris' resident dinosaurs instead. The result being a fight that manages to impress the usually stoic-ish Washington and Carolina, with the former stating that it was the most badass event he ever bore witness to.
