What works (is more believable, breaks suspension of disbelief, etc.) for one person is not the same for everyone else. And it circles back to the inherent frustration you will see in these conversations.Here, try and use this analogy that I alluded to earlier.Person A: I didn't like The Last Jedi because I thought the Holdo Maneuver was unrealistic.Person B: How can you say that? Did you see A New Hope? Why are all the spaceships flying around like WW2 airplanes, and physics seems to be out the window?Person C: Both of you are crazy. You're worried about the physics of the X-Wings? What about the fact that everything goes "pew pew pew" in space? See the point? Sure, it's all make believe. But everyone has a different point where things matter. You might not understand why one level is more believable than another, but that doesn't mean that it's not a real and salient difference for someone else.It's not something that is amenable to logic, either. It is ... subjective, and driven by preferences. Which is why arguing with people about it is so fruitless.</blockquote>
