universe is missing the point of fiction media!" then they’ll turn around and mock visionary shows like NCIS for scenes in which the detectives enhance the resolution of an image. Oh, computers can’t just do that? Who cares! Lock in! The point is not that the story makes internal sense, it’s what the story communicates!

    I think that also applies to extremely fictional stuff, whereas how it says it is vs how it actually is.

    Like Harry Potter’s magic system, the books act like it’s a hard magic system, with laws and rules, but it’s one of the softest magic systems ever written, so I’m going to criticize Harry Potter’s magic system (you know, in addition to everything else).
