Not "Justice League." He is part of "The Avengers."

D'uh!

Suspending one's disbelief, and what can foil the experience, is a fascinating subject.

I know a lady who's kid goes to my kid's school, and one day, while waiting for the kids, she decided to start telling me how much she hates Sponge Bob Squarepants.

She specifically mentioned a scene in which there is a fire that Sponge Bod puts out using a bucket of water.

The woman said how ridiculous it was that Sponge Bob would keep a bucket of water around, since he lives under the sea; and, besides, how could a bucket of water have put out a fire that's already under water?

She said that scene was a deal breaker for her being able to enjoy Sponge Bob.

Apparently, she was OK with a talking kitchen sponge who is a fry cook in a talking fish community that includes a crab whose daughter is a whale; but that bucket of water on a fire was just too much to handle.

Anyways...

Our enjoyment of film is funny that way. Perhaps when a movie fails to make you suspend your disbelief, it is because it is not enchanting enough to take your mind off of those liberties they take with the laws of physics?
