* ''Series/FraggleRock'' has an episode where Junior Gorg is grudgingly helping his parents with the spring cleaning. Meanwhile, Boober is braving the Gorgs' garden to dispose of a soup that makes things invisible but also causes rockquakes. Junior stops him, grabs the soup, and throws it over his shoulder, causing an explosion that blows up all the junk in the yard. The Gorgs and their castle are fine, though.

Let's face it, everything's better with exciting, fiery explosions. Television scripts are short, deadlines are pressing and since audiences love "things that go BOOM!", shortcuts are taken. There's a pretty good chance the audience has already seen something blow up at least once during a typical first half-hour of television or film viewing.
Note, however, that while we mere mortals react to explosions with some combination of shock and awe, if the folks on-screen are not so close to the blast they're surfing the shock wave away from the epicenter, they'll probably be [[UnflinchingWalk strolling off coolly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqz5dbs5zmo in slow motion]], not even deigning to turn their heads to acknowledge things going to Hades behind them. From this, we can also infer that if one does not grant an explosion power by looking at it, it cannot strike you down with a piece of shrapnel. If they foolishly glance at an explosion, they may still survive by running from it and jumping, but are much more likely to get killed.
Note that RealityIsUnrealistic. Explosions in RealLife don't typically create massive fireballs. When a bomb goes off, you get a big shockwave, the ground shakes, things are propelled through the air, windows crack, walls can fall down, people can get torn apart by debris or die without apparent injury, but no flames. Explosions are incredibly dangerous, but they don't [[RuleOfCool look awesome]]. Hollywood needs things to look cool, so they add fuel to their pyrotechnics so that you also get massive fireballs. Works that strive for realism will avoid this.
