*Now, I don't mean fantasy as in swords and dragons and stuff, though that can certainly count. I mean fantasy as in a portrayal of a world and/or events that are unrealistic, exaggerated or uncanny. Superman would count. Star Trek would count. Exaggerated stunts would count. Overly complex heist plots would count. Etc.

A dude flying by absorbing solar power is a pretty good example.

It is kind of true, some people get upset when the female lead in a novel is "too smart"

Oh in that case Silver Linings Playbook was great and didnt have any fantasy in it.

That scene where Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are going on this long conversation about all the meds theyve taken was one of the most so true its hilarious things Ive seen in a movie depicting mental illness >_>

Finding love through mental health recovery is a terrible narrative to push on people

Not at all. There are a shit ton of fictional stories that are completely grounded and realistic.

No, no. Chad listens to the Beatles while he's dishing out successive service aces on the tennis court.
