Clichés: the timing of pain
I guess anyone had seen this before: a hero goes through all kinds of hell and feels no pain but when it’s over and someone (usually an attractive female that ends up being his romantic interest) takes care of his wounds, all that pain comes back to them. Today, I’ll look at this closely.
