Either in the real world or using the rules of the universe?

I was looking at the DBZ wiki for reasons and noticed they have the height/weights of characters.

Goku is supposedly 5'9" and weighs 137lbs. Vegeta is 5"5" and weighs 123lbs.

What the hell are they made of??? Are they full of helium? Do they have hollow bird bones?

Anime weights are insane.

I remember being shocked at Light and L from Death Note, who are both like 5'10. Light is 120 pounds. L is 110 pounds. I get there's some joke involved with L eating so much candy and never gaining weight because he uses brain energy, but L is practically a famine victim.

It's even weirder to see like, well-muscled shonen type characters still be ridiculously light. And no female anime character is allowed to be over like 48kg if an official weight is listed, haha.

I want to know what hair mousse anime characters use.

Anime height and weight charts are always weird to me. Like the Sailor Moon characters are mostly around 5 feet (except the "tall ones" are 5'6 and 5'8) yet when you look at the way their bodies are designed they all look much taller, especially with how long their legs are.

I had trouble believing at least Haruka wasn't 6 foot, but apparently she's shorter then that.

I tend to focus on in-universe rules. As long as the rules of the fandom are consistent, I don't care about real world (since my favorite fandoms all have magic or aliens and advanced tech, that is helpful).

The one thing I can think of right now, at almost 11 PM, is that the Harry Potter wand rules in Deathly Hallows make no sense because characters were disarming other characters earlier in the series.

Oh, and also, Tolkien himself wrote himself into a corner and knew it with the orcs. On the one hand, he doesn't believe anyone or any species could be inherently evil. On the other hand, evil can't create so orcs had to have been made from elves or something else already in Middle Earth.

My headcanon for the wand thing is that intent matters. Those earlier cases of people disarming others didn't involve an intent to keep the wand, but when Harry took Draco's wand he was taking it so that he would have a wand to use and not just to rob Draco of his.

I don't know if this actually holds up to scrutiny though.

Snoopy's doghouse is bigger on the inside like a tardis

Moffat severely fucked up the weeping angels the more he brought them back. In "Blink" they had set rules where you had to always be looking at them, at the way they were defeated was by having them look at each other.

Then he brings them back and oh well, it turns out they are just *pretending* that you need to be looking at them, so how the fuck did those angels in Blink get locked in place?

There was also more and more bullshit the more he brought them back that I can't even remember because I refuse to watch those episodes ever again. I can't deal with writers who can't follow the rules of their own canon.

Amen! the angels were the scariest shit in their first ep! Follow-ups just fell flat and cheapened the great monsters.

Yeah. I remember being all excited because OMG, more episodes about the weeping angels! Welp...

A friend stopped wearing her Don't Blink t-shirt when she went to a con and people had to explain to her in detail it wasn't canon anymore and don't blind was terrible advice because looking at a weeping angel without blinking let them take over your mind and control you.

Invader Zim canon frequently did whatever it felt like with no explanation for how some things went back to normal at the start of the episode, but some things stayed in continuity.

I've been rewatching Yu Gi Oh and it's fucking hilarious how batshit the rules of Duel Monsters apparently is. It's basically the Calvinball of card games and idk how anyone learns to play it in universe.

Also Pegasus invented a card game and apparently has enough money to own an island, a castle, and be fucking untouchable when he kidnaps a child to keep him in the dungeon of said castle.

How Professor Layton is like fucking MacGyver 2.0 every time he finds himself in a sticky situation. Don't get me wrong, I love the series and the character, and I know all of this is done for purposes of solving "creative" puzzles, but making automatic weapons out of leftover casino machine parts, and miniature flight vehicles out of chain saws, paddles and buckets is just a little bit ridiculous.

Unless it's a stand-alone series with an expiration date, canon is pretty much bullshit when applied to comics. Too much editorial pressure to do something "edgy" with the narrative every few years.

Captain America: Civil War was offensively stupid except as a marketing vehicle to maximize the number of capes they could fit into a single digital frame.
