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!
When a show only asks you to suspend disbelief in moments where it suddenly and “unexpectedly” negatively impacts the protagonist I’m gonna riot. Especially because that means they’re gonna ask me to do it exactly one more time when it again “unexpectedly” negatively impacts the antagonist.
You’re always suspending your disbelief, though, because you’re watching fictional media.
I don’t want to suspend multiple layers of disbelief because the studio got lazy and didn’t want to write something more compelling
