Grant Morrison, Supergods (via tompeyer

I’m torn on this, because…on one hand, I agree.  Acceptable breaks from reality are useful, because everyone wanted to murder their Sims, and no one pooped or had periods on Lost.  IIRC.  but on the other hand…If you leave these blank, you ultimately have a weaker story, or less of a story. Bruce Wayne’s day job IS going to conflict with his superheroics. And conflict is plot.  And if you’re going for a  fully realized world, you need to fill it with these things. What does the Wayne corperation do? who works there? how they feel about living in a city that gets leveled on a daily basis? I mean…we’re accepting that there are aliens who can fly but are also willing to save us and all sorts of impossible things. I’m willing to accept that because…it is fiction. It takes place in a world where that is a thing that can happen.  But the writer needs to make that world a real place for me to believe in that reality.  They can add/take away whatever they want, but for suspension of disbelief to be held, I need to believe flying aliens and business tycoon running unpowered vigilantes live in a world that keeps on going when I’m not there.
