A while back, I posted a post regarding two inconsistencies in Disenchantment. Most likely these inconsistencies were unintentional, but if they weren't, I have a few theories.
First, is the world in Disenchantment round or flat? Here's my theoretical answer: It's definitely round. We know this because it's visible from space as Alva leaves in Chapter L: Goodbye Bean. However, even the most learned people in countries like Dreamland or Maru assume it's flat, while the more advanced Steamlanders know it's round. The loon that Jerry says said the world was round wasn't really a loon; the people of Maru assumed he was crazy because his assumptions contradicted theirs.
But what about the Edge of the World? Well, my theory is that it's not really an edge, it's just a really tall cliff. But because no one has returned from falling since no one can survive that fall, people assumed it's the literal edge of the world.
Lastly, what about Odval's globe? What's a round globe doing in a society of flat-earthers? My assumption is that it's a lost item from Steamland or another country where people know the world is round. Odval must have found it. Presumably nobody knew what it was supposed to be, or else everyone, including Odval's boyfriend Sorcerio who said that he didn't know what the world and round had to do with one another, would be quite confused. Though there is one final caveat: In Chapter XXIII: Beanie Get Your Gun, Miss Moonpence says "Sometimes it takes a woman to pick up the man's world and run with it". So she seems to know what a globe is, but why? I don't know.
Speaking of Miss Moonpence, I also have zero clue as to how, when, or why she became a pig. It must have happened during parts 3, 4, or 5, far away from where all the action was taking place, since she's definitely a human in the last two chapters of part 2.
And that is all! What did you think? Mention your theories or expand upon mine in the comments!
