Actually, her being an alien would be just as troublesome. Aren't the odds of intelligent life, much less intelligent life that looks just like us, not only existing but being able to traverse the vast distances of space to get here pretty low? You could make her be from the future when people have evolved or enhanced themselves, but time travel isn't really supposed to be a likely thing either. A parallel world would be equally problematic.

Really, there's no way to make a person with superpowers believable if you want to be scientifically accurate, so whatever you do you're going to have to have some measure of suspension of disbelief. Sometimes you just have to roll with it.

True, but we can't definitively prove there isn't intelligent life out there. We can prove that "using more than 10% of your brain gives you superpowers" is total bullshit.

Suspension of disbelief works better when you can't google "does this work this way?" and get a definite "no" in less than a minute.

There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's "I genuinely question if these writers went to high school, because "what we do with our brains" is like 10th grade biology".

Wow, I bet you're a lot of fun at parties. /sarcasm.

lol, this secret is all about people freaking out because a dumb false idea about biology is going to prevent them from enjoying a dumb action movie, and the person being like "just chill, it's all suspension of disbelief anyway" is the person who gets the no fun at parties line

THAT'S the person who's the party pooper here apparently.

lol
