I've finally dropped the opposite idea for good, but first off, besides them appearing much smaller on the outside in proportion to characters and objects, there was another argument… The Crystal Shards - Opening
- Assuming the meteoroids fly at 42 km/s , Ribbon on the Crystal and the Dark Matter clouds do so at about 420 km/s, and they fly from Ripple Star to Pop Star in 12 seconds.
- So, the distance is about 5 040 km at most? Two planets can't be that near each other.
- For a while, I'd been interpreting this as Ripple Star and Pop Star necessarily being smaller on the outside, until I remembered the following:
The Transformers - Episode 1
- The spaceships first seem to be flying slower than 25 km/s and later prove to be doing so actually much slower than 11.186 km/s , and they fly from Cybertron to Earth in 114 seconds.
- So, the distance is much shorter than 1 275.204 km? Two planets can't be that near each other.
- Does that mean Cybertron and Earth are smaller on the outside? No, it means the distance and the planets' implied sizes are minor details, because of artistic license.
However, there was still a possibility for this not to apply in the Kirby series, as there was an argument for shown sizes being not set for planets to be properly depicted but actual ones…
Kirby games and other fiction works
- It's argued that celestial bodies have to be depicted smaller than they are in order to fit into screens or panels, but that assumes they have to fit into them.
- For a while, I'd in turn assumed this to automatically apply to the Kirby series, until a week ago someone showed me the following:
Dragon Ball Z - Episode 50
- Both times Goku and his ship are near the star, it stops fitting into the screen.
- Does that mean it's small in proportion to them? No, it means its size is set for it to be properly depicted. Therefore, planets in the Kirbyverse are as large on the outside as on the inside, the suns and moons are also as large to space as to their planets, and so are Novas. In the end, my position was refuted, but at least my arguments weren't stupid… Anyway, I apologize for those fallacies, and this topic ends here.
