* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans'', when the Titans go to a fair, the fairgoers don't particularly seem to notice that Raven and Beast Boy have clearly abnormal skin colors (although BB does wear a hood). Starfire's glowing eyes don't draw any attention either.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse:'' A gang of constructions workers' only response to Spot rambling about his holes and other dimensions is to tell him to shut up about his holes, because he's making them uncomfortable. When Spot can't even generate an interdimensional hole and runs off vowing revenge on Spider-Man, they lose interest.

* ''Film/BluesBigCityAdventure'': No one seems particularly impressed by Josh's magic or talking objects, although they are occasionally impressed by Blue, everyone seems more focused on [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Josh's]] peculiar behavior rather than the magic he brings to the world. This is {{Handwaved}} later on the series ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou'' where it is revealed that magic is relatively common in this version of New York City, even having a completely animated part of the city, meaning to them Josh's behavior was really the weirdest thing about the situation.

* ''Film/TheAvengers2012'':
** Audio version from the beginning. Agent Coulson calls Black Widow to come in, even though she's "in the middle of an interrogation". Once he convinces her how important it is, she starts a CurbStompBattle against the Russian gangsters who had [[WoundedGazelleGambit taken her prisoner]], with Coulson still on the other line of the phone ("Let me put you on hold"). His only reaction as he listens to the sounds of the fight is the slightly bored, patient expression that anyone put on hold has while they wait for the other person to come back on - he may as well be listening to muzak as to the sounds of a pitched battle.
** There is a janitor whose only reaction to seeing the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] crash through the ceiling and create a crater, then finding a naked man in said crater, is to give said man pants and try to figure out the precise nature of the Hulk-to-man thing (after learning the man wasn't an alien, he concluded that the man simply "had a condition" and that was that).
** And in TheStinger, the Avengers sit in a shawarma shop eating shawarma, and nobody seems to pay much attention - the only other people in the scene is a woman casually sweeping the floor in the background and a guy behind the counter. Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye are even still in costume. Also counts as one as a meta-example: after the audience had become accustomed to the stingers in Marvel movies being used to foreshadow later films, this movie's second stinger (the first being the scene with Thanos) is a full minute of the Avengers sitting and eating shawarma, nearly motionless and completely silent.
* ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'': during the party in Stark/Avengers Tower, Stan Lee's reaction to Thor telling him that Asgardian liquor is too much for a mere mortal to handle is that "neither was Omaha Beach". Stan doesn't even seem phased by the fact that he's in the presence of an actual God and a super-soldier from [=WW2=] - it would seem, by this point, that the novelty of the Avengers has worn off a bit. Then again, they ''are'' in Avengers Tower. Who else would be there? Also, Stan and the other WWII veterans are implied to be old comrades of Steve; presumably they just see themselves hanging out with their old friend.
* ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': When Strange open a magical portal in the middle of Central Park, people barely react to this.
* ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': When Thor and Captain Marvel first meet, Thor looks her dead in the eye as he summons his hammer from across the room. She doesn't so much as blink.
--->'''Thor:''' I like this one.
* ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'': Aboard a train, Carol punches a Skrull disguised as an old lady. Other passengers grab and restrain Carol to stop her from beating what appears to be a helpless old woman, having failed to notice that the "old woman" is growling, spin-kicking, and putting up a really good fight for someone her age. And moments later, a green-skinned alien looks into the window of the door the "old woman" just went through and turns into a duplicate of one of the train's other passengers. Only the man being copied reacts to this, everyone else just looks out the window or goes back to reading the newspaper.
* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'': When Aunt May opens Peter's bedroom door and finds him standing beside his school friend wearing nothing but his underwear, she doesn't react at all. She discusses dinner plans and, right before leaving, tells him casually to put some clothes on.
* In ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', the reaction of New Yorkers to seeing Thor and Loki? They ask to take selfies with Thor and ''ignore'' Loki altogether.[[note]]Of course, considering that Loki was wearing a civilian suit instead of his usual outfit, people probably didn't even recognized him.[[/note]] Of course, [[spoiler:Doctor Stephen Strange]] is far more concerned with what they're doing there.

* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': Although Alvin, Simon, and Theodore (and Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor) are walking, talking, singing chipmunks, which is apparently highly unusual in this universe given Dave's initial reaction to them, they don't seem to garner any unusual attention from anybody else. Even biologists aren't knocking down Dave's door to get a good look at them! This is referenced in one of the newer movies, where one guy mentions that the success will never die down even after the chipmunks sabotaged the show because [[DancingBear they're chipmunks that sing and dance]].

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when Kick-Ass himself starts going out and patrolling early in his career. People rightfully think that the fact that a skinny teenage kid trying to fight crime in a homemade costume is bizarre, and call him out on it. Similarly, when Hit Girl first launches herself into a criminal's apartment to deliver a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, everyone there panics and tries to run.
