Its a thing that's prevalent in comics. Even upstart indy pubs are doing it. Recently I read an indy book where at the very beginning of the book one of the heroes creates a giant death ball composed of something like the equivalent of 500 solar masses or some such. He tosses it at the main antagonist and the guy tanks it. A ridiculous feat by any standard right? I thought to myself welp, they're establishing this pace at the beginning of the book now but this being comics, I'm almost certain that this dude will get knocked out by a punch at some point in the story lol.
I think we have an obsession to make sense of these things to make it work in venues like this, but we forget that the companies themselves don't have battle boards in mind when they write this shyt. At least that's my take on it.
