>>212313684 (OP)
Mrs. Doubtfire

>>212313684 (OP)
Basically every single comedy of all time. Tropic Thunder immediately comes to mind.

>>212313684 (OP)
Prometheus.

>I'm not going to tell the flyboy my genius plan, because he needs to sit down and follow orders.
Okay, but you'll tell your plan to other people, right?
>No, I'll tell no one. Not even the bridge crew.
Oh, I get it. Are you concerned about spies? Is leaking information a part of the movie?
>No, no one's ever going to bring up the possibility.
But you'll reveal your plan at the last moment, right?
>No, not even at gunpoint.
But why?!
>Sit down, flyboy.

>>212313684 (OP)
Burn After Reading.

Fargo. If Buscemi/Stormare and Sanderson weren't retards the plot doesn't even happen. Sanderson's father in law being a retard also moves the plot forward.
The only non retard in Fargo is the detective and she's reacting to events, not driving the plot.

>>212313760
Actually every movie, because are idiots and every movie is about humanistic folly

Indian post.

Tv but the Walking Dead, I had to stop watching after season 3 it was becoming infuriating

>>212313724
I don't remember any idiots in 2001.

Lord of the Rings
>I'm going to walk all the way to Mordor to drop the ring on Sauron's doorstep instead of just having Gandalf shoot it into space

>>212313684 (OP)
I can't think of any, I can think of idiot moment but not an entire plot.
>>212313826
>Not even the bridge crew
They knew and what you describe is not an idiot plot.

>>212313684 (OP)
The Batman

Gandalf literally could have just buried in concrete under a castle and it would have never been discovered. But no, apparently that's not good enough

any horror movie

>>212314001

>>212313684 (OP)
The Last Jedi

>>212313826
It makes sense that her plan would have to be confidential though, also it worked so this doesn't really fit the topic of the thread

>>212314112
No the stakes were too high, they could not let Sauron get the nuclear codes

>>212313996
Sauron's going to win as is, destroying the ring is the only win condition.

>>212313815
That scene of the guy breaking into a fucking military base just to get infected and murder his wife pissed me off so much at the time that I actually walked out of the theatre. It was misery porn for the sake of misery porn, and it wasn't even well written.

>>212314083
Inception
>we're in dreams where we can do literally anything we want just by thinking about it but rogue ninjas attacking us are a serious problem
TDKR
>we heard Bane was in the sewers so we sent every single cop in the entire city in after him
Interstellar
>we needed a pilot for our interstellar space mission but put literally zero effort into finding one, good thing you showed up at the exact right time after wasting time following a random drone
Dunkirk
>I'll be useful *dies*
Tenet
>huh I never noticed all those random bullet holes on every surface of the building while we were constructing it, crazy
Oppenheimer

>No! No... let's... wait

>>212314164
The movie
>>212314288
>but rogue ninjas attacking us are a serious problem
There was a line about how people can have defence system in their dreams, I think it was mentioned that a company provides it?

>>212314348
>How dare this historical movie follow history

>>212314355
Okay, I'm talking to a cretin.

>>212313852
But Stormare isn't even a retard in the beginning. He figures out she is hiding behind the shower curtain, he gets rid of the cop quickly and executes any witnesses left. He is cold and calculating. Then later he is just becomes a sad loser who watches day time soaps. Wtf.

This entire arc

>>212314211
Um civilization isn't a contest, sweety, somebody having a bigger nation than you doesn't mean they "win", nor does the criteria for "winning" apply to all peoples, especially those of alternative societies

Never took Tolkien for a monarchist

>>212315053
Sauron has unlimited resources and can just keep sending more armies. The hero's win at Minas Tirith because of ghost's who owe Aragorn a debt. He can't play that card next time.

You don't understand Tolkien. It took decades to become that autistic. Regardless, there were no monarchies left to blame.

>>212313846
also The Big Lebowski

>>212315437
You're right, I made a mistake in just look at the date of when the book was released. So if I instead check when the first book was released

Again no Socialism in the UK, checking the periods when the series was written

At that period, nobody was looking at Socialism. All eyes were at the Fascist movement

Almost every anime.
There's so much suspension of disbelief required to go along with their plots, it's ridiculous.

>>212313684 (OP)
Real life

>>212313826
This. Ignore the silly detractors.
It required that the Empire (First Order, sorry) didn't somehow realize they were headed towards a giant fucking planet.
It required that they not look out the window (or use sensors) to see escape pods leaving the ship.
It then required a stupid siege scenario where they all go hide in a fortified bunker (right after seeing their prior bunker obliterated from space)
Then it required the First Order to do a ground assault utilizing only a handful of tie fighters to maintain air superiority (which they immediately abandon when they see the Falcon)
It requires all ground assault to completely stop when Luke Skywalker appears out of nowhere, so a duel can take place while all the AT-ATs sit doing nothing about the fleeing enemy.
Sure, yeah, she could have wanted to keep her plan a secret, but she gambled (and lost) that the crew would mutiny without any clear path forward.
It required that the pursuing ships just allow a slow moving enemy to keep flying away under the premise that they'll soon run out of fuel, instead of jumping ahead of them and attacking that way. And after they successfully blow up the bridge using tie fighers, they just stop that plan after it proved successful.
It's so stupid and full of bad character decisions that I could spam this thread for hours just with this one film.

>>212315687
It also requires the rebels fleet to be slightly faster the first order and the first order to not send any fighters to attack the fleet.

The only idiots I remember are Shaw’s husband (I forget his name, discount tom hardy) and the comic relief duo who get killed off by a cave worm.
Shaw, Vickers, David, and Idris Elba are all smart characters. But I understand why people hate on the others. I don’t mind seeing silly retards getting killed off, it’s a pretty typical horror movie trope.

>Ridley Scott has deposited 50p into your account
Welp that’s all the Prometheus defending needed for today

>>212315226
It's not hubris, stupidity drives this arc 100%.
>should we seek out dr. gero now? nah, he hasn't done anything wrong yet, let's wait 3 years (ignore the fact that we could sabotage his lab or stop him from making the androids without killing him)
>they forget the senzu beans yajirobe brought them 15 minutes earlier, and have to go back and get them when yamcha is injured
>goku doesn't take his heart medicine, heads off to fight the androids without having his medicine on him or even telling anyone he hasn't taken it yet
>trunks forgot to tell them what the androids looked like
>gohan trains to super saiyan (and on the verge of being super saiyan 2) in 1 year in the time chamber but somehow didn't make super saiyan in the 3 year timeskip
>krillin doesn't consider destroying 18 then reviving her with the dragon balls
>18 doesn't escape when urged by 16 or krillin, even when cell hadn't noticed her yet
>18 doesn't escape when urged by trunks
All this forced stupidity and I didn't even mention the two main points people argue over (Vegeta allowing Cell to absorb 18 and Goku giving Cell a senzu bean). Even if you assume these two things are completely in-character, there's so much other retardation driving this plot.

>>212316909

Jurassic park, and all jurassic worlds

The Sopranos, and I'm sure you're about to shoot some dumbass comment in reply about something something contrarian, but everyone (and I mean everyone) in that show is a caricature of whoever they're depicted as. Every mob guy in the series is dumber than fuck and the only reason any situation in The Sopranos came about is because they're all morons.

>Revenge is like eating cold cuts

If you don't watch the show as a dramatic comedy then you take yourself too seriously and you probably have brain worms. The vast majority of dialogue is one-liner jokes delivered from a dumbass who couldn't graduate reading class.

>Inb4 an onslaught of shitting and pissing and having epileptic seizures saying "nuh uh filtered!"
That's fine, you can call me filtered all you want but the reality is you are too dumb to see that The Sopranos was a caricature of classic mob films turned into a series with an idiot plot. Kiss my ass.

No literally everything involving cell is 100% on vegeta and no one else. Goku couldn't beat perfect cell and its not like he could have prevented super perfect cell from coming back with a zenkai boost leaving Gohan as the only person who could beat him.

People aren't efficient rational actors, nor is fiction more compelling when they are treated as such.

>>212315053
>If he was winning then how did he lose the previous two times
first time it took direct intervention by God

second time he lost because of a massive number of elves and numernor chads teaming up. Now there are barely any elves and only a handful of guys like Aragorn who are even close to the old Numenorians.

>>212316939
>should we seek out dr. gero now? nah, he hasn't done anything wrong yet, let's wait 3 years (ignore the fact that we could sabotage his lab or stop him from making the androids without killing him)
The stupidity wasn't the fighters here that was just their nature, the idiot was bulma for not going behind their backs and doing it anyway

>>212315367
>>socialism was destroying everything at the time
>In 1955? When the Conservative party ruled the nation?
would Christianity be classified as "socialist" or "liberal," kikes?

>>212314570
>How, he already lost twice before
His armies were larger, stronger and better equipped than the rest of the world combined, that's what changed
the previous times he lost he faced opponents that were inherently stronger than he was or at least on the same level

But this time around there is 0 chance of him losing the war, he's been exceedingly careful planning for this war for thousands of years and it paid of

There's a specific version of this I call "artificial conflict." Any kind of conflict between characters that would never have occured in a natural human interaction. Mostly this comes from characters going out of their way to be vague with each other for no reason. Example:
>Girl walks in on man doing something incriminating
>Man, rather than immediately explaining exactly what is going on says "It's not what it looks like!"
>Instead of confronting, asking questions, yelling, making demands, or anything else a reasonable or unreasonable person would do, girl runs out of the room
>The two are now have an artificial conflict until the writer contrives up an opportunity for the man to say to her what literally anyone else would've said the first time around.
It's fucking boring.

>>212314180
>it worked
She sacrificed every ship except the one she happened to be on, to save just enough people that all that's left of the Resistbellion can fit on the Falcon with extra leg-room. Noticing this hypocritical fuck up, RJ gave her the noble sacrifice that should have been Leia's or Ackar. Poe got demoted for getting far less people killed and saving the fleet from a ship that would have ended the chase before it began. It almost makes sense if the the entire Canto Bite pointless side-quest was all a reshoot to get rid of the spy/traitor plot that was obviously there first.

You misunderstand the arc, the Z fighters were excited for a challenger to come and wanted a fire lit under their ass while they were training. It was literally hubris. Plus there are moments where this theme happens more explicitly, like Vegeta letting Cell become perfect and Goku giving Cell a sensu bean.
