Well the willing suspension of disbelief is adjusted based on the story being told. If you say there’s a made-up kingdom where animals talk in the exposition, that’s fine. But if you say it takes place in a world that’s basically our own, then one person can randomly shoot lasers from their eyes, you should give some explanation. It doesn’t even have to be a particularly good one, but even in-universe people would be asking about that.
Also, I don’t usually see these questions asked in an overly critical sense, but rather with a sense of humor or with an eye towards world building. It’s about having fun
