A behir resembles a giant blue snake with a dozen legs that can breathe lightning and swallow adventurers whole (Stephen Schwartz from “The Ecology of the Behir: Like a python crossed with a millipede, only uglier” by Tony Jones; Dragon 156, April 1990)
Television. Television is the explanation for this - you see this in bad television. Little assault guys creeping through the vents, coming in through the ceiling - that James Bond shit never happens in real life! Professionals don’t do that!
like full offense, but why are romcoms constantly being criticized for being “unrealistic” and “too self indulgent” but action movies with impossible car stunts and huge shoot out scenes that are led by an average looking, mildly in shape man (who is somehow a practically indestructible and unbeatable fighting robot) are not?
the answer is because romcoms are generally made for women, and women’s fantasies are never indulged by society the same way men’s are.
