      watched a review of Jurassic World where the reviewer criticised idea of raptors as weapons "that'd never work in real life". Duuuuude.

      "In real life, the raptors would..." UNLESS IT'S NOT EXIST, I DON'T CARE.

      Seriously: Most boring criticism in the world is "how this magical dinosaur laser robot film doesn't conform to reality".

      Well done, Gandalf. Shall we go Neil deGrasse Tyson on Star Wars & wag our fingers at "bad" physics & gloss over the fucking Force?

      It can be seriously fun & instructive to learn science via sci-fi stuff; but as fiction criticism, sorry, that's boring as fuck.

      I'm not saying ban all such criticism; only, come on: This isn't a film to lobby congress for weapons, it's dinosaur mortal kombat.

      "How ridiculous! He would've died if that happened in real life!" But it's not. Bruce Willis is not really John McClane.

      This is the womb of "Historically accurate" to defend white homogeneity in fantasy; dragons are fine but including brown people is reaching.

      Fiction is: Batman doesn't kill while driving a fucking tank, armed with literal cannons, through streets filled with men.

          Fiction is: Ghosts - whether they eat sandwiches or want to destroy humans - all go in the same tank.
