He doesn't have super healing and he isn't indestructible like many super heroes.

The fighting is over the top ridiculous. Don't think I said the show sucked but it is flawed and over the top given his weak abilities.

By the way, even if you believe he has some super core strength or pain tolerance what about every criminal he fights? They are normal.

They all seem to have the same tolerance for pain and ability in martial arts that he has.

And yes, I actually did complain that normal people in Winter Soldier were being hit with punches and slammed into walls without any long term or in most cases even short term damage.

It is one thing to have Hulk or Thor fall 30 feet, crash through a roof and then get up like nothing happened. Entirely something else for a non healing, non armored hero to hop up like they tripped over a rock.

Once again, I didn't say the show sucks. Just said it is flawed which it is and it has nothing to do with suspension of disbelief. That old chestnut gets pulled out too often as an excuse to shoddy writing and the refusal to stick with a characters abilities.

Only 5 episodes in but I disagree with this.... outside of him fighting the Chinese (who they assume people would think know basic martial arts) he has only fought 1 other person who has shown the ability of martial arts. Majority fight like normal people and he is using the martial arts.
Now the pain tolerance you may have something but outside of the Russians who has really shown much of a pain tolerance? I mean they are freaking Russians man, they're like crazy.
I don't find any of the fighting scenes over the top than say any other TV Show/Movie that I've ever seen in my entire life.

but that didn't happen, dude laid there for what was supposed to be several minutes although TV time is faster, then gets up and could barely walk/move took him several minutes (what was probably longer in television time) to get his bearings back.
Now you may have something on every time he gets into a fight and we see these significant injuries he wakes up the next morning and he is not sore, able to move. Adrenaline can explain him being able to get back up most o the time but that is not flowing the next day when his body would be sore like a mother fricker from falling through 3 flights of floors.
