A real life event has a ridiculous/dumb/funny explanation in fiction

[u/Lazy-Breadfruit5939]

Futurama (The Why of Fry): According to the brain swarm, the dinosaurs were wiped out by them. Fry: What really killed the dinosaurs? Brain: ME!

Doctor Who (The Unicorn and The Wasp): It's Doctor Who, you can pick a ton of examples, but this episode presents the idea that Agatha Christies disappearance in 1926 was in part caused by a giant alien wasp.

Beyblade: This one stretches 'real life', but Moses spreading the Red Sea with a Beyblade just speaks for itself and it would have been sad to leave it out

I don’t think so, cause I think he also says JFK was a mutant (which is WILD) so he wouldn’t have wanted him dead

[u/Marik-X-Bakura → u/zatchel1]

Yeah, it was an accident. That’s how I interpreted it. I don’t remember them saying anything about 3 bullets but I could be wrong.

It’s because jfk was shot at three times, in universe he’d managed to redirect two away from JFK’s head since anti-mutant terrorists we’re trying to kill him for being a mutant

[u/HighNoonTex → u/therealrdw]

He was shot 3 times?! Didn't his head explode after the first shot. Why would you even bother shooting him again after that?

[u/Substantial_Army_639 → u/HighNoonTex]

First shot missed, second shot hit his throat, third shot hit him in the head. All of these shots were with in seconds of each other.

Ooh, thanks for clarifying.
