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.
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.

…did he get better?!
Funny story.

One of us doesn’t know what the word permanently means
