The thrown into a wall thing had a nice subversion in Dragon Prince, mostly a kids show. A primary character, a knight, is batted by a dragon into a rock before being chased off. As they finish, they go to check on him, and he’s been permanently paralyzed from the neck down.
...did he get better?!
Funny story.
Indications were he shouldn’t have recovered; and he was surprisingly positive, showing resilience to his disability and thinking about how he might continue life as a poet.
But, his sister, a dark mage, was far more mortified about it than he was, and made a magical sacrifice, killing some creature and draining her own lifespan - to restore his full motion. All of this, without asking his permission. He turns out okay, but there’s an implication he shouldn’t have.
So yeah, it’s part of a dramatic arc in that story.
They said they wanted kids shows to have representation for the physically disabled. Now they’re pissed I gave him a backstory? Guess they just wanted a background character as a token.
One of us doesn't know what the word permanently means
