> It's simply some kind of odd convention.
There's no waiting time for lightning because lightning, to be understood
(and impressive) as lightning, is supposed to go "Flash!!! Crack!!!", not
"Flash!!!, Awkward pause during which nothing remotely interesting happens,
Crack!!!". FlashCrack is Lightning. FlashPauseCrack is "Eh, who just took a
picture?, Uh, What's this noise?" Even in real life this is not always
obvious and that's a luxury movies can't afford.
It's not odd, it's a normal convention for movies. In movies, no time is
wasted for going to the toilet, saying "thank you", saying "hello" on the
phone, finding a parking space, healing after being shot at or beaten,
waiting for hair and clothes to dry, filling a tax return and other
gazillion things that are part of normal life, unless of course it's part of
the plot. In movies, night may come instantly after day. Only significant
events occur and then only on a compressed timeline, in complete disregard
of the laws of physics, biology, economy, psychology and whatnot. Normal
moviegoers accept this and do not care, unlike obsessive geeks who compile
this sort of things on the internet ;D
