Actually, I can bash Limitless's logic because it perpetuates a myth that is false. You don't know if the people who just watch movies casually will go on to spout this nonsense of "You only use 10% of your brain" in public as if it's fact because the movie acts like it is and doesn't do anything to try and tell you it isn't. In fact, you can't rely on "oh it's fiction, therefore it can't be real", well, then why are good stories able to pass on morals and messages that ring true to life? Art exists as an imitation to life, therefore, it must be constructed in such a way that something can be gained from it, not just mindless consumption. This is partially why stupid stories rise to the top like those Fast and Furious franchises despite the fact that Torreto should be dead by the amounts of **** he pulls in those movies. He literally Superman'd himself out of so many impossible situations it's ridiculous.
Do you understand that all you just said was "It's fine, because I'm turning my brain off when I'm watching this because it makes me feel awesome about seeing unrealistic things?"
Storytelling was around as long as humanity is. They exist as a construct to help pass down morals and objective truths that can be considered universal through metaphors and other literary devices. A story needs to have it's own COSISTENT LOGIC that can be understood and compared to normal logic, even if it's a made up magical system like Nen from Hunter x Hunter, it still operates on the basic understanding the writer has of real world and psychology as well as spirituality and how spiritual powers is portrayed in media as well.
How do you know you can't inject your brain to a cable? You do realize that The Matrix is a futuristic Sci-Fi film, right? Who's to say the machines didn't figure out how to puncture a human's brain and enter the central nervous system without damaging it and still pass enough electrical pulses into the neurons to send signals that can be turned into information learned? Are you aware of a man named Phineas Gage? That man lived with a pole that went through his skull and certain parts of his brain, and still lived.
Keanu Reeves not knowing those knowledge is irrelevant, he's an actor, he SHOULD do his research to portray those things faithfully, and I assure you, the Wachowskis made sure people in the film crew were MADE to read the materials they suggested before approaching the script to even understand the higher concepts they were going for.
Which brings me back to Marika. You can't interject a preference for the character history if the actor is not able to pull it off to begin with. That's why they got her and was able to write a part for her like that. This is why you hire actors who are skilled and talented because they trained to make their backstory even believable enough in the first place.
You do understand that good storytelling is good because it has something that can be passed on to it's viewers/readers that they CAN believe, right? Otherwise, you'd end up with something called the Burden of Proof, something that comes along with people making Extraordinary claims like they "met God" or "talked to God". There's the Burden of Proof you are subjected to. In this case, the burden of proof for Tsukuyomi is her character not being written properly, the choices made for her dressing code, and the actor who they picked for her role. NONE OF IT IS BELIEAVBLE. That's why it's an asspull, and can be considered bad storytelling to begin with.
A good writer who knows how to do good storytelling is someone who is proposing something that hasn't been explored before by humanity as a new objective take on a subjective topic. Zi-O's writers can't even hold a candle to that. They're just writing badly planned out fanfiction.
