Aristotle is a Little Confused

How...how are they moving...? In that box? And what on earth are they using to murder each other? Magical staves blasting holes into one another, crazy metal dragons spitting fire and death... Needless to say, this is a bit wacky to me. Where are the swords? I understand bows and arrows, but this is simply bananas. I must say, if this is how the stories of such wars are to be told nowadays, I can certainly make a place for such an epic in my ideal of a recreation! How bold and shocking it is! I do believe that if war is to be related in a theatrical sense as art, this is the way it should be done. Theater that I have seen until this day has not been nearly as believable (which is shocking, since the players of this show use powers that I cannot comprehend). Thus I believe I must shift my ideology and accept such works of moving art into my ideal performance. Bravo, Tom Hanks, bravo. You save this "private Ryan" fellow. Aristotle approves.
