Does it ever happen when you read a comic and it has a big plot hole...
An unexplained story element...
That you just CAN'T ignore because it's really blatant??
There is one that has ALWAYS annoyed me:
(mild spoilers)
I enjoy this story very much, it's very nice, but it has a blatant plot hole that bugged the hell out of me as a kid.
So there is an evil living statue of goddess Kali that is breaking inside houses at night to find an important object. A Kali statue that has four arms. Four functional arms.
Mickey Mouse manages to confront this "Kali" during one of its break-ins. "Kali" turns around holding a gun in each of its four hands!! Even Mickey is shocked by this!!
Mickey: "Oooooh! Four... hands and four... guns! It is Kali herself!"
Note the complex use of the four arms and hands.
"Kali" runs away, they fight... Mickey even comments on the unfair advantage given by the extra arms.
Goofy: "Hold on, Mickey, I'm coming!"
Mickey: "Four hands against two, this is unfair!"
Note how the arms clearly move very differently from each other.
"Kali" runs again hides in a car. Mickey follows it inside... and finds it as an empty costume, left by a criminal who was posing as the statue.
Mickey: "Both of us? Egad! It's only a dummy!"
But the costume has four arms. Four empty, loose arm sockets.
And the criminal wearing it is a regular person with two arms.
HOW do those extra arms each move as a separate, functional arm?? Like we saw? And how it was pointed out by Mickey himself??
Even later, when Mickey confronts the criminal who was wearing the costume, it is NEVER explained how they managed to have four functional arms at the same time!!
Even as a kid, it was difficult for me to think of a way it worked! Just... inconceivable.
Heck, even Scooby-Doo cartoons would at least give an excuse how'd they do that!
But NOTHING is explained here.
