    I’m forever amused by people opposed to silly comic book nonsense like this because it’s unrealistic or breaks in-universe logic.

    People who can be credulous about laser swords but get upset when someone uses a hyperdrive as a torpedo are like religious people who ignore 3/4 of the stuff from their faith but get real militant about the three rules they care about.

      Internal consistency is a major part of storytelling. If you’ve set rules and expectations within a story, breaking them is akin to breaking a contract between the author and the audience, leading to a loss of immersion.
