[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8230464, member: 7808"] WandaVision also operates within the jurisdiction of nerd law, which is ruled by annoying details and arguments on the internet. This is the type of thing that destroys self defense claims in court. The risk of death is inherent in any high speed collision. If Darcy claims to have taken time to consider the armor level of his vehicle vs the mass of her truck, it's only proof that her actions were premeditated against an unarmed opponent, not that she didn't mean to kill him. First, see above nerd law jurisdictional claim. Second, for me it's about proximity to other plot points. Say your vampires get set on fire by sunlight. You can bend the rules and have a vampire get singed by indirect sunlight in one episode, but catch on flames from nearly the same amount of light in the next. It's not ideal, but you can use your literary license when needed. But you can't have two identical vampires standing next to each other, get exposed to the same sunlight, and have one just cover his eyes while the other bursts into flame. That's bad writing. There is a significant amount of plot in the MCU dedicated to the legalities of superheroes. There's hours of screentime dedicated to the Sokovia Accords, and morality and consequences for actions. In the scene we're discussing, one character is villianized for breaking an imaginary law, and shown on screen being arrested for it. Yet right next to him is another character that purposefully broke a very major real life law, and there are literally no consequences. On a personal level, it really drove home to me how the writers had blatantly designated heroes and villians in the story. These guys are good, so they things they do must be good. These guys are bad, so the things they do must be bad. To me, that's just bad writing. [/QUOTE]
