I didn't mean to imply otherwise; cinematic versus non-cinematic ("realistic") is an ongoing thread right now (...I couldn't keep up >.>) and very much matters for understanding an Advantage. There is a difference between Mundane and "non-cinematic" versus Mundane-but-cinematic. Separating out "fantastic" elements (Exotic or Supernatural) from "tone" or "how the world world" like harshly realistic, realistic, lightly cinematic, cinematic, "four-color", and silly makes modeling settings much easier.
