How do you call an electric eel? (Its not an eel) how do you call a coconut? (Its not a nut) if you call them as everybody else does, even when not being accurate, are you stupid then?

Exactly, if enough people start calling “idiot” to “very intelligent and good looking guys” then the meaning of the word evolves and changes so most people can understand each other.

No, not really. And I already watched the film.

Saw it a few weeks ago (I live in Peru). While most of the film is beautiful, the last act of the movie is awfull, and one character (not seen in the trailer, but a pivotal one) design is totally out of place in the movie, very poorly designed.
