    Must allow audible space explosions in #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy because I accept the artillery-wielding bipedal talking Raccoon.

        Because cute animal pics make people happy. No matter the content. Or perhaps he liked it. Don't know the man, couldn't say.

        I think you're taking Racoon Twitter far too seriously ma'am. Though that's just my opinion. And opinions as with jokes are subjective

        If a Raccoon was to evolve into a talking bipedal artillery-wielding creature, it'd have no effect on explosions being audible in space tho

        It's about the suspension of disbelief. If you apply rigorous scrutiny of one you must for the other.

        Suspension of disbelief's all good, I have no issue with explosions being audible in the movie. But his logic/reasoning is flawed regardless

        it's the If>Then that fails -unless- you were to take a stance opposing fe evolution, from that persp. you could argue the tweet is fine

        In this instance, if we are to make anything of his tweet, absolutely! No one owns good reasoning and everyone has access to it.

        assessing feasibility in fiction ought to be based I'd think on what's possible at some other world. So brilliant David Lewis argued anyway.
