John Wick, I mean who the fuck brakes in to a dudes house and shoots his dog.
Every police officer ever.
that would make for an amazing john wick film
Must have been haitian cops
Fight Club and the countless movies like it, which are character-driven and the character is driven by extremely maladjusted desires and behaviors.
“Alright, but isn’t that being ableist in Fight Club’s case?”
No, if both of the alters acted like normal people, you’d just have an especially weird buddy comedy with none of the conflict of the original movie.
Donnie Darko
oh the weird bunny man who is the dead boyfriend of your sister told you to come out of bed and onto the street?
Nah, bad dream, just stay in bed. Jet engine goes boom, Donnie’s buried under, only one other family in another timeline loses a jet engine, story over in 5 minutes…
…unless the story then fixates on the other timeline where a jet engine just vanished off a plane and no one knows where, ah goddamit
Back to the Future.
A normal Doc Brown wouldn’t have invented a time machine.
The Sixth Sense.
Shark pool
Most hallmark movies.
Also Nothing to Lose
28 Weeks Later.
After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.
“Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”
“My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”
Good to see you are out of your 5 year coma…
…surely you have kissably fresh breath…
Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by…
Ugh. You’re annoyingly right.
It’s completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.
Crap, you’re right. My original question is some fantasy that people aren’t idiots.
if I recall correctly, one of Melbourne’s major outbreaks was because one of the quarantine security guards was fucking a quarantined patient
Almost any horror film
House on haunted Hill & Cabin in the woods bouth seem kinda plausible
Pffft got a pen?
Series:
Sons of anarchy
Heroes
13 reasons why
Terra nova
The 100
Mr. & Mrs Smith
-> pretty much almost every series I’ve watched
Movies:
All transformers
Almost all FFurious
Definitely all jack sparrows
Even the orig Mr. & Mrs Smith
-> the more I think, the more the list grows
Movies are all about those few moments that throw characters off the “right way,” spinning up bunch of placebos with consequences and how characters emerge through all those stronger.
Jesus, I thought this was the other post, “Whats your favorite movie of all time?” and I was judging the shit out of you for this list.
I don’t get most of this list. If they only talked to megatron nothing would’ve happend. These street racers in fast and furious seem like smart level headed people, why do they talk instead of racing cars?
Home Alone.
“Hey, sorry Kevin. Come on, hop in the car.”
I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.
The 2nd and third time tho?
Oh this is a great one.
Air bud. “You guys are insane. Listen. Your team will forfeit every game that dog takes the court.”
It’s crazy how this became a movie trope. It doesn’t say in the rules that a giraffe can’t be in the swim team.
Lord of the rings
“You know, I have these amazing birds, and we could use them to fly straight to the end of this trilogy.“
Couple of small issues with that idea: can’t hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.
Pretty sure the whole reasoning behind the eagles not taking the ring to Mt doom was because of the nazgul. That’s why Gandalf had the whole Hobbits sneak into Mordor plan.
Yeah, not understanding that is a consequence of people not reading the source material, because Tolkien definitely explains exactly why the eagles couldn’t do that.
On the other hand, I think it’s a valid criticism of the movies that, for all the amazing things he did in that trilogy, Peter Jackson failed to explain something minor that turned out to be a lingering issue for some segment of the wider audience that would consume that adaptation.
As an absurdly fervent Tolkien fan, people bringing up the Eagles spikes my blood pressure in a way that cannot be good in the long run.
And get shot out of the sky, hand-delivering the Ring to Sauron.
That would be an interesting start for a completely different saga.
“Ok, so that plan didn’t work. Like, not even a little bit. Now the whole world is on fire, thanks to our genius shortcut. Any plans how we could fix that?“
*begin construction of a large cartoony catapult*
In addition to the flying Nazgûl and what not, the ring could corrupt the proud eagle. They’d just fly off with it and then you have another problem.
Plus, nobody tells a Middle Earth eagle what to do.
As a bonus, I remember watching Walker Texas Ranger with my father in law, amd the amount of times people had their sights on him and didn’t shoot him was ridiculous. He’d have died so fast.
Same with James Bond
He would have reflected the bullets with his abs
Nah, the bullets would’ve just given up halfway through flight
The Host
„Dump all the formaldehyde down the drain.“
„No that would pollute the water!“
„Oh ok let’s not do that.“
The End.
