As was mentioned the other day, suspending disbelief to allow the existence of mythical creatures like dragons is one thing. Doing it to allow the new villain of the story to magic up 1,000 ships is another.

He would have needed 750,000 trees (139 Epping Forests) and 50,000 men in 1000 shipyards to deliver that many ships within a year-and-a-half. What he actually had was a small, windswept and sea-lashed island containing nothing but "rocks and birdshít".

People who don't like dragons or stories that include them need not comment in this thread.
