but that's the whole point of what I'm saying
the plot demands that something happens even though it shouldn't be able to happen due to the existing state of the world/powers/abilities etc
"wait, these villains managed to build a superweapon of this magnitude in the middle of the city without ANYONE noticing all this time, despite the fact that there are multiple supers with super hearing, x-ray vision, and supposedly world's greatest detective abilities"
