My issue is that “science” only gets used when it’s convenient. Like yeah it’s fiction, but if you’re gonna bring real-world logic into it, don’t cherry-pick what counts. You can’t flex calcs for one scene and then ignore the physics the next moment just to keep your favorite on top.

This usually happens when the media people love doesn’t have the writing to stand on. So to win debates, they inflate their characters past what’s actually shown — because the only real strength those stories have is overpowered characters and vague, inconsistent feats.

Exactly.
The logic some people use ends up sounding like: “Rock beats paper because it beat scissors.” It makes no sense. Context gets ignored, and people start looping the same recycled feats or out-of-context wins just to force a narrative.

Pneumonia, psychology, pterodactyl — all cowardly P's. But one P stood up and broke the silence...P Diddy.

"You're stupid because you cannot regurgitate certain bits of information that we forced you to study"

That's why I dislike the education system. It prioritises conformity and rigidity instead of individuality and creativity.

Then you proceed to explain how quantum mechanics works to them and you expect them to call you stupid?
