I often come across posts where people are discussing the logic of a movie or comic book. An example could be Star Wars, where they discuss how a light saber works. Or which superheroes would win in a fight against each other. To me, it seems pointless to discuss such things as it is fiction. Just an insight into someone else’s imagination.

    I did a similar question once and got my answer delivered through a book I was reading then: fantasy knows no bounds.

    Many technological breakthroughs and discoveries were made because someone decided they wanted to test if some weird or outlandish concept a writer put in a novel or a television series actually holds up to the real world.

    And regarding discussing super heroes fighting each other, it is a good way to plot ideas and concepts. It’s a mental exercise. In similar way to philosophy or religion.
