  • Probably could’ve been more clear, but I’m not actually talking about the flute or even Power Rangers. Just venting a bit about a pet peeve I have with a particular sentiment online where people seem to say that if something has anything outlandish or unrealistic then the suspension of disbelief can’t have any bounds and that’s silly.

    Power Rangers is so outlandish in general that it’s a bad example, I was just using the previous comment as a jumping off point for my little ranting tangent.



  • I know you’re just being tongue in cheek so this isn’t directed at you, but I loathe these sorts of quips as a response to people who point out things that are immersion-breaking.

    Yes I know there’s talking animals in this movie or magic or whatever, but that doesn’t mean anything’s on the table; the world presented still has its own rules that need to be internally consistent. Sure, people can have different thresholds for where that line is, but dismissing people when they bring up something that stood out to them as if one diversion from reality means there can’t be a line at all is ridiculous.
