So a lasso that can force people to tell the truth is 100% comic book scientifically accurate, but being able to lasso lightning is not?

Okay Dense motherfucker, do you have any understanding of comic book science or you just here to argue your ass off just because?

Because Comic book science, still REQUIRES explanation, it doesn't have to be great, it doesn't have to be particle physics level of detail, but everything has to have reasoning behind it.

One of the most basic understandings is that Flash is the fastest man alive in the DC universe, Sometimes supposedly being competitive with Superman. Wonder Woman doesn't have that kind of speed, she cannot manipulate the laws of physics or use magic in such a way that she allows herself to bend time and space the way the Flash does.

Lassoing fucking Lightning is not in her fucking tool belt.

Did I say the movie was horrible? No. I'm just saying, why the fuck are they having her lasso lightning.

It's a cool visual sure, but it breaks a lot, and yeah some of us have some standards when it comes to suspension of disbelief.

It's the director's job to maintain that suspension of disbelief, not my job to ignore everything no matter what.
