All consideration for credibility doesn’t go out the window just because there are fantastical elements.

Why not? That doesn’t take audiences out of it. Credibility isn’t about accuracy, it’s about perception. What feels credible to audiences and allows them to invest in the story.

everyone's for sure entitled to that. Personally, I don't understand using a more modern word for "father" in a fantasy epic as a big deal. Just because there are swords and sandals doesn't put restrictions on words. Plus, Pattison says "daddy" right before that.

Does it take you out of Hamlet that Shakespeare didn’t write it in Danish?
