Concerning doors, I think the reason for the flickering electrical door is to help the player realize it'll kill you, since people tend to equate sparking, shaking jagged lightning with danger while seeing more solid, static beams as being safer.
In the original games, the electrical thing just looks like a single beam, but I always thought it was more of a row of them in 3D. Kind of like electric prison bars.

useless outside battle and sports anime.
