A lot of explosions in movies are, as I understand it, gasoline explosions (which produce a deflagration). Those are impressive and very visible and orangy and don’t actually create all that much pressure, so damage from the pressure wave or shrapnel isn’t so much a thing. You can do the stoic walk out of an explosion thing.
I think that the video of the Beirut explosion, which is large and filmed from a distance, so you can see the shockwave traveling over time, drives home how there is a lot of force going on in the air.
I’ve read that drinking is often used to communicate depression or stress to viewers. I always found it odd that everyone has a bar in their house so I started thinking about it more and did some reading.
People drinking in situations where nobody would be drinking.
And, obviously, running faster than explosions.

You just need to ignore explosions like that
If you look at them, they will hurt you (a bit)
