I kind of want to make a response to a video I just watched about the scientific plausibility of Godzilla, but most of my criticisms are hedged on the notion that scientific plausibility in fiction is irrelevant much of the time, and idk if the creator would even disagree with that

like sure, I love hard science fiction, its one of my favorite subgenres of scifi in general. I love being able to dig deep on topics explored in a given piece of media, and feel the groundeness of it. However, not everything has to be grounded in realism, nor should it.
Realism is one means of communicating meaning, and it should not be the only. But like, it could be the author of the video agrees with that notion, and any assumptions I make otherwise are just me being autistic and not understanding people again
Might just write a little piece about people's tendancy to denigrate media for its lack of realism, or inconsistent realism, but I have to consider if the content creator in question should be lumped in with those people, or if he is just exploring and assessing whether or not pieces of media belong to a particular subgenre
