In many of the shows, books, games I experience, whenever fire is shown as a weapon by itself, it always seems to have physical force. It will knock the enemy back or will slam them into the ground in shows or games like Avatar and Dark Souls. Can it could actually have force enough to push someone back? If not why is it portrayed that way all the time?
I could never actually imagine fire doing having enough power to slam someone back. I always think it would just go onto you or gloss over/around you and light you on fire.
In: Physics
Fire actually is hot glowing air. The force of fire in movies and books is exaggerated, but fire can develop physical force. The best example for that are jet engines.

So when someone shoots flames at you you won’t be blasted away by the fire. You may be blasted away from the air pressure, but the fire would rather just cover and burn you.
