minus-squareMaalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26arrow-down2·10 months agoIt has to be believable at least
minus-squarenexusband@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down4·10 months agoWell, that’s why we get shotty comics nowadays. Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Gummibears etc didn’t have to be believable to be enjoyed…
minus-squareMaalus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down4·10 months agoThere is a difference between a comic about talking ducks, and the post above. Believable means it needs to be believable in the world established / within the context. A porsche in the middle od a medieval / fantasy setting isn’t believable, while a wizard casting spells is. This post implies “this conversation happened in real life” which no, it didn’t.
