Protaginitis

i. When protagonists (main characters) in media use logic that only works because they are protagonists, and thus have plot armor and are protected from dying.

ii. When protagonists or deuteragonists (side characters) in media die as a result of logic that normally wouldn't be applied in real life by normal people, but instead because they need to advance the plot.

"He clearly heard the monster breathing behind that door, why would he open it?"
"He had a minor case of protaginitis, that's why."
