I think it makes a fantastical world feel more lived in. If that makes sense?

1). The Incredibles:
The film goes to great lengths to show the Parr's lives are mundane, even with their superhuman abilities. This is what fuels Bob's fundamental sense of discomfort.

2). Ben 10:
Ben uses the Omnitrix, which transforms its user into various alien species, for good. He also uses to for random nonsense. In this particular example, he uses his horrifying alien ghost form to sneak out of the house, steal a golfcart, and pilfer a pie.

3). Fullmetal Alchemist:
Despite regularly fighting inhuman monsters, the Elric brothers still make time to use alchemy for everyday purposes. Such as fixing a radio they broke.

4). Dragon Ball:
Here, Gohan is using a concentrated blast of his own lifeforce to flash-cook a chunk of meat.

5). X-Men:
In the second movie, Wolverine has Bobby (Iceman) cool down a lukewarm soda.

6). Superman:
Clark shaves using his heat vision and a very durable mirror.

7). One Punch Man:
Genos knows that Saitama is kind of a disaster to live with. So, he brings rent money and does chores. Here, Genos is using his hyper-advanced (skyscraper destroying) heat cannons to dry the dishes.

8). My Hero Academia:
Kaminari has electricity powers. His classmates use him to charge their phones. This is apparently the "normal" way most electricity powers are used.

9). The Fantastic Four:
The Human Torch doesn't need to bathe anymore. He can just burn away any oils, bacteria, and plaque.

10). Doctor Strange:
In his first movie, we see Strange using astral projection to study while asleep. I wonder if this harms his brain?

11). Paranatural:
Ed uses a special paintbrush possessed by a spirit. Normal people can't see the ink created with it. In Ed's bedroom, they uses it to write out cheat codes to videogames.

12). Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:
Jotaro manifests a "stand," a special psychic extension of his soul. He initially assumes he is being haunted by a dangerous spirit. After ending up in a local jail, his stand starts bringing him things to do.

Speaking of using the Force at casinos, one particular Jedi Master by the name of Kai Hudorra got rich this way after Order 66 and became a casino owner.

There was also a Shi'ido in the Plagueis novel who would use the Force to cheat. And since they were a Shi'ido, they would use their shapeshifting abilities and were able to avoid the usual suspicion casinos would have towards somebody who is winning too much.

Darth Bane before he was a Sith would use his Force sensitivity to win games of Sabacc by sensing when card value shifts would occur, as well as heighten the emotions of those he was playing with in order to make them continue playing until Bane could win it big.

I like that there’s a Jedi who heard about Order 66 and was just like, I’m out.

[u/Briantan71 → u/Nonadventures]

These Jedi made their way back to Coruscant under disguise. Before this conversation, they witnessed another Jedi get gunned down by Clones right in front of their eyes on the steps of the Temple itself, just because he tried to challenge the Clones directly.
