So do you react the same way to sci fi or fantasy movies? I mean nobody uses magic or flies faster than light in real life. I’ve always been puzzled by this point of view because I don’t get why this is where the line is drawn.

I don’t like musicals because I’m there for a story that’s believable, and that I can relate to - nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example. Muppets get a pass because I already had to suspend my disbelief in order to even want to watch them.

That’s not what suspension of disbelief is.
It’s all about creating a story that’s believable within the rules of the setting. So within the rules of sci-fi faster than like travel is perfectly reasonable. Hell it might even actually be physically possible we don’t know.
But musicals don’t really do that, they don’t really explain why suddenly everybody is singing in perfect harmony despite apparently having never practised, it just happens and no explanation is forthcoming.

I know where you’re coming from, but there are people who genuinely do not care for neither musical, fantasy, nor sci-fi.

Nah, you just have boring friends. Weirdo.

I’d rather my friends than ones with the annoyingly odd behaviors you seen to have. 🤨
