That blip about AvatarTheLastAirbender wasn't describing a subversion but when the trope simply ''wasn't'' used. Since it's impossible and pointless to list all absences of any trope, how did it belong?

{{Seth}}: I'm glad someone agrees with me.

{{Ununnilium}}: It's not pointless to list especially notable absences - as indicated by the "Exception"s in the example areas of most tropes on the wiki.

{{Keenath}}: I edited the Avatar reference. Though the show does subvert the instant-healing trope with regard to Zuko, his eye-scar is an example of GoodScarsEvilScars, not a lack of instant healing.

{{Seth}}: That never occurred to me, great catch.

Wiki: Yeah thanks for fixing that up, I believe it was put in before the page was created.

MisterSix: I was going to put in the ''{{Fallout}}'' games as an exception, in that body parts (eyes, legs, arms) can be crippled, affecting your ability to move, fight and communicate. However, they can be fixed again and put good as new by a qualified doctor (or by the player if he has a medical kit and high physician skills). Does that still count as an exception?

Also, does anyone know the name of that Amiga 1200 game that had you walking through an FPS wilderness fighting dinosaurs and what not, in which you could be forced to amputate your leg or an eye?

DeusExBiotica: Isn't that video game stuff all HealThyself?

FireWalk: I think the second is, but not the first, as it's a cutscene. HealThyself is instant healing from medipacks, and the first is notably a good example. The second, not so sure.

{{JohnCKirk}}: I don't think that the DS9 reference is fair; there was an entire episode ("It's only a paper moon") about Nog coming to terms with his missing leg.

MarkSutton: It's worse than that- the baseball episode that's the source of the complaint is four episodes '''before''' the one where he loses his leg

{{Haven}}: I almost want to give a MadeOfWin point to whoever described Simon's medical technology as postmodern. JossWhedon is postmodern in many ways, but surgery isn't one of them. But how awesome would it have been if he'd gone that route?
