Plausible stops being a thing when you’re watching a movie that already has magical powers and lazer swords.

We’ll have to part ways on this opinion. It’s fine for a movie to include fantasy elements, so long as the movie obeys its own rules.

For example, if I create a horror movie where the monster can travel like a ghost through walls to attack its prey, and then I end the movie by just capturing the monster that can travel through walls in a box, that would be stupid right?

The movie wouldn’t obey its own rules, right?

That would be implausible.

Arguing that, “It’s a movie about monsters that travel through walls, for f@cks sake! It’s fantasy!” would be an irrational defense of the catch-the-monster-in-a-box ending.
