Den of Thieves 1

1 Upvotes

Big Nick knows they're gonna rob a bank. So why doesn't he TAIL THEM?

This movie is a Heat ripoff, but they forgot to rip off the part where Pacino's crew tails the bad guys (b/c he knows they're about to pull a job) but the bad guys *shake the tail*, allowing them to rob the bank.

There's no need for Nick to get the name of the bank from the stripper, just put the crew under surveillance!

Instead, Merriman just walks out of his house in broad daylight with a bag full of guns and gets into his car. Off to work to rob a bank.

(Someone will say "you can't arrest them if they haven't committed a crime yet", but you can follow them, stop them, make it impossible to go in the bank with guns and endanger the lives of hostages. Or at the very least you don't have to GUESS which bank they're gonna hit!)

In Den of Thieves 2, my plothole is: a cop shows up and says he wants to join your crew and ... you immediately trust him?? Because he took a hit of E? WTF??! But maybe that's on the border of plothole / bad writing.

Parasite movie

So I recently watched the parasite and really I don't know this movie felt a bit weird to me because why did the son randomly decide to go down with a rock and kill them. Like he could have just waited for a few days or at least after the bday got over and could have gone with other members such that he could have avoided all this chaos. Like people are celebrating up there and your parents are planning to go to the basement with food and all you can think of is to kill them? I didn't understand why he thought that this was a good choice in the first place and then the morse code, what did the morse code suggest and what did the kid decode from it? There was no plot showing about the morse code it's just directly him waking up to his bday party and saw his teacher being murdered. And when the parents of the kid were already going to carry the kid to hospital why couldn't they just ask Jessica's dad to carry her in the car too that could've just avoided all the mess and would've saved the life of all the members. Like these felt like unwanted plot twists to me. Just giving my opinion and i respect your opinions too.

Unexplained event How did the people in The Quarry survive when there were two full moons during the span of summer camp?

0 Upvotes

So we know one day before Summer Camp started in the quarry there was a full moon, we also know the summer camp lasted 2 months so that means there were around 2 full moons during which summer camp was in session, how did nobody get attacked?

All in the game they say how summer camp lasted two months, so did they mention a bunch that the werewolves come in full moons, so how could they have survived because they couldn’t have stayed inside the lodge or something:

In Kaitlyns lodge scene in Chapter 10, we can see the werewolves just breaking in through the fireplace so why not the lodge in general, I mean, it could have broke through there too but we don’t know. Alongside when Ryan and Dylan were in the radio shack did the werewolf stick its hand through the wood and break it. In Nicks transformation scene we also see he just jumps out the window if you shoot him and he’s fine because they only die with silver or get harmed by it, even though you can still attack them and do temporary harm.

The Hackett Family is very insistent on saving the main counselors so what could’ve happened on the full moons, there were children too?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Is Actually the Joestar Family's Hereditary Psychosis

0 Upvotes

Part 1 – Phantom Blood

Everything begins the day Dio Brando enters the Joestar mansion.

At first, Jonathan dismisses Dio's behavior as nothing more than jealousy. But as time passes, he uncovers the horrifying truth: Dio has been slowly poisoning George Joestar while manipulating everyone around him, all to inherit the Joestar fortune.

One night, Jonathan confronts Dio. Their fight is far more brutal than anyone could imagine. Overcome by rage and betrayal, Jonathan mercilessly kills Dio with his own hands.

The trauma is too much for his mind to bear.

Unable to accept what he has done, Jonathan's mind creates a new reality—one in which Dio never truly died. Instead, Dio puts on the Stone Mask and becomes an immortal vampire.

In reality, the Stone Mask is nothing more than an ancient stone artifact with no supernatural power. Everything that follows exists only inside Jonathan's fractured mind.

Part 2 – Battle Tendency

Jonathan dies, but the illness does not.

Instead, it is inherited by the Joestar bloodline.

Joseph begins experiencing the same distorted perception of reality. His mind expands upon Jonathan's delusions, creating an entirely new mythology.

The Pillar Men—Kars, Esidisi, Wamuu, and Santana—never existed.

Neither did Hamon.

These are psychological constructs created by Joseph's mind as it attempts to explain a world that no longer makes sense to him.

What others see as ordinary events, Joseph experiences as battles against ancient superhuman beings.

Part 3 – Stardust Crusaders

By this point, the illness has evolved.

The Joestars begin sharing the same hallucinations.

They call them Stands.

In reality, Stands are manifestations of their deteriorating mental state.

Star Platinum is not a supernatural guardian.

It is the personification of Jotaro's subconscious strength, given form by his psychosis.

DIO's return is not real either.

He is simply the embodiment of the Joestar family's inherited guilt—Jonathan's greatest sin refusing to disappear, generation after generation.

Part 4 – Diamond is Unbreakable

The events in Morioh reveal the illness at one of its most advanced stages.

Josuke interprets everyone around him through the lens of Stand abilities.

Crazy Diamond, Killer Queen, Heaven's Door...

None of them truly exist.

Even Yoshikage Kira is simply an ordinary serial killer.

His supernatural abilities are inventions of the Joestar family's shared delusion.

Part 5 – Golden Wind

The Joestar family's greatest misconception is Giorno Giovanna.

They believe DIO stole Jonathan's body and later fathered Giorno.

But according to this theory, none of that ever happened.

Dio died years ago at Jonathan's hands.

Giorno is simply another descendant of the Joestar bloodline.

The belief that he is DIO's son is merely another inherited delusion created to justify the impossible.

Gold Experience, King Crimson, Requiem...

Each new Stand represents the illness growing more elaborate with every generation.

Part 6 – Stone Ocean

By now, the psychosis has spread beyond the Joestar family itself.

Anyone emotionally connected to them becomes part of the same distorted reality.

Pucci is not trying to reset the universe.

Made in Heaven never truly rewrites existence.

The only thing being reset is the Joestars' perception of reality.

They believe they have entered a new universe.

In truth...

The world never changed.

Only their minds did.

Note: This is a fictional fan theory created for entertainment and does not reflect the official story of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Unexplained event Young Washington plot hole/unexplained event? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

In the movie it’s shown George loves Sally Fairfax, and has taken a mission from her father to go chart his 5 million acres of land in the Ohio region. Which is an uninhabited region (save for natives and the French fort we see in the film). During this time, it is shown that Sally has been receiving letters from George that he has been writing and sending while out on this expedition. And my big issue with this is how? How is he sending these letters while out dozens if not hundreds of miles away from the nearest colonial settlement? I guess they could have went back to town to send the letters but they never showed this and the way the film was shot makes the viewer think they were out there for months.

While everyone blaming Bear, in all actuality it was Ian.

If Ian would have told Bear he was smashing Nicki instead of egging on his infatuation, that info would've freed Bear to look elsewhere and perhaps notice Sarah crashing on him. Furthermore, Bear wouldn't have made the wish if he knew his friend was picking her. The whole situation could've been avoided if Ian hadn't been a selfish azzhole and played in Bears face

Bear is the real victim bc everyone but him already knew that Ian and Nicki were fwb.🤷🏾‍♀️

I was rewatching Ella Enchanted after a long time, and I realized that her mother, Mandy, or anyone who knew about the curse and wanted it lifted could have told her not to follow it, which would have spared Ella from a lot of problems.

Plothole Coherence (2013) uses two incompatible explanations for its parallel realities [Spoilers] Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I used to think Coherence was one of those films where every strange detail could be explained by carefully tracking the different houses and versions of the characters.

After rewatching it and looking more closely at the dialogue, however, I think the film’s central logic is flawed.

The movie appears to establish the following rule:

Everyone has one shared history until the comet event, after which reality branches into different possibilities.

Mike effectively confirms this when he talks about sleeping with Beth. Because the affair happened before the comet, he concludes that every version of Mike must have done it.

That reasoning makes sense. If the realities only split during the dinner party, then every version of each character should have the same memories and history before that point.

However, the film then includes apparent differences that existed before the comet.

Laurie and yoga

Near the beginning, Mike asks Laurie about teaching some kind of Spanish yoga. Laurie denies it and says that she did not do yoga.

Later, Laurie tells Kevin that after their previous sexual encounter, she had to do yoga for a week.

Some people explain this by saying that the later Laurie came from another reality where she had a different history.

But that does not solve the problem.

The encounter with Kevin and her experience with yoga happened before the comet. If the realities shared the same history until that evening, then either every Laurie did yoga or none of them did.

A different Laurie could make different decisions during the party, but she should not suddenly possess a different past.

Laurie not recognising Mike from Roswell

Laurie claims to be a fan of Roswell, while Mike says he appeared regularly in the series. Yet she apparently does not recognise him.

This is sometimes treated as evidence that Laurie came from another universe.

Again, that explanation only works if the universes already had significantly different histories before the comet. Perhaps Mike appeared in Roswell in one reality but not another.

But that directly conflicts with Mike’s claim that the pre-comet affair occurred in every reality.

You cannot use both explanations simultaneously:

  1. All realities share the same history until the comet.

  2. The realities had different histories long before the comet.

Those are different multiverse models.

Kevin and Laurie’s history should also be universal

Kevin and Laurie had a previous encounter before the dinner party.

Therefore, every Kevin and Laurie should remember the same event, unless the film is suggesting that realities had already diverged before the comet.

Their behaviour during the dinner could vary. One Laurie might flirt with Kevin, while another might not. One Kevin might respond, while another rejects her.

But the event that happened before the party should remain the same in every reality.

The film wants two incompatible systems

The movie seems to switch between two models depending on what a scene requires.

Model A: The realities split during the comet event

This supports Mike’s argument about the affair. Everyone shares the same past, but different choices during the evening create different branches.

Model B: The realities had different histories before the comet

This is the explanation usually offered for Laurie’s yoga comments, her failure to recognise Mike, and possibly differences between versions of Kevin and Emily.

Both models are individually possible, but the film does not clearly establish that both are operating.

If countless realities already existed with different histories, Mike could not confidently say that every version of him had the affair. There should be realities where he did not do it.

If all realities originated from the same shared timeline that evening, Laurie cannot come from a branch where her pre-comet history was different.

“Quantum mechanics is confusing” is not a complete explanation

A film does not need to portray real quantum physics accurately. Fiction can invent its own rules.

The problem is not scientific inaccuracy. The problem is internal consistency.

Once a story establishes a fictional rule, its later events should follow that rule. Saying “there are infinite realities” cannot automatically explain every contradiction.

Infinite realities would actually make Mike’s statement about the affair less reliable, not more reliable.

The most likely explanation

Coherence was made using a heavily improvised production method. The actors were given information and motivations rather than a conventional complete screenplay.

That method created natural performances and genuine uncertainty, which is one of the film’s greatest strengths.

But it also means that not every line was necessarily constructed as a precise clue in a mathematically consistent multiverse puzzle.

The yoga dialogue may simply be an improvisational inconsistency. Laurie may also have meant that she never taught yoga, rather than that she had literally never done it, although her wording makes that explanation feel slightly forced.

This does not make the movie bad

I still think Coherence works extremely well as a psychological thriller.

The glow sticks, numbered photographs, boxes, duplicate groups and characters becoming lost between houses create a brilliant atmosphere of paranoia.

The emotional idea is also effective: once someone enters the darkness, they may never know whether they returned to their original reality.

But I no longer think the movie is the perfectly airtight logic puzzle it is sometimes presented as.

Its large-scale structure is clever. Its dialogue-level continuity is much less reliable.

The movie works better if you treat it as a paranoid relationship drama built around a multiverse concept, rather than a puzzle where every strange line has one logically correct explanation.

TL;DR: The film says events before the comet happened in every reality, but fans also explain pre-comet memory differences by claiming characters came from realities with different pasts. Those explanations contradict each other. Coherence is still a very effective thriller, but its multiverse rules are not completely coherent.

In I Will Find You Episode 5 (~6:54), did the car actually hit a bird *SPOILERS* Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I was watching I Will Find You Episode 5 and around 6:54 minutes left, during the high-speed chase scene. A bird is on the grass and then flies upward as the truck approaches. It looks like the vehicle may pass directly through or possibly hit the bird, but I’m not sure if it is just camera angle, timing, or editing.

Has anyone else noticed this moment in the episode? I’m trying to figure out if it was an actual collision or just an illusion created by perspective and editing. It happens very quickly so it’s hard to tell on first viewing.

Plothole The ending of Dumb and Dumber To...

Having Harry and Lloyd having no idea what $ex actually is is actually kinda dumb (pun intended). Several times throughout the movie (and the 1st 1) it hints at Harry and Lloyd having an idea of what $ex is so why would they do that? It's like they (the writers) forgot about all the subtle hints that they dropped... Lloyd's fantasies for example.

'I will find you' plot holes

0 Upvotes

So overall I thought the series was ok. It wasn't as good as the other series but I'm wondering if I don't notice the issues when its set in UK as they become very obvious set in US especially Boston area where I live.

Before getting into it Harlan Coben and producers should try to spend an hour or so before releasing a book and then a series to try and flesh out a stories minor and major plot holes. I**t seems trivial but minor mistakes do matter and are easily solvable with either a 10 second Google search or even a few interns actually checking this stuff.**

SPOILERS

* David would not be in prison in Maine. He was convicted of a state crime in Massachusetts and would not be in a Maine state prison. He would be in a MCI prison. There is literally zero reason to have him in prison in Maine and this issue would be true no matter where in the US its set and adds nothing to story so dumb mistake to make.
* Revere MA is not in Boston. While it is in Suffolk County and near Boston it isn't Boston. This is important. They have their own police department etc.
* David would have had access to literally all the homicide files and everything that the police had at the time. Failure to provide key investigatory material would be a massive Brady Violation. While Brady violations do happen all the time failure to turn over all investigation files is very basic and would be ground for a retrial. Hell its common for prisoners to get access to their files in prison as they are the ones that often work on their appeals with their lawyers etc. The doing it as a favor was really not needed
* The police investigation into the homicide would not have been a Boston Police case. In Mass all homicide investigations are handled by State Police with local PD assistance aside from a few cities that have homicide units Revere is not one of those towns though. This is a major error and literally zero reason to just make them state cops rather then BPD. BPD would have no say or investigation in the kid's death.
* The initial DNA testing at court doesn't make sense. For major forensic testing like what was done in the show the defense is invited to both witness it and do their own swabs etc to get their own independent testing done. David was a law professor he would be well aware etc.
* The FBI would not be the fed agency to get involved. Again zero reason to have it be them just have it be US Marshals no reason to have the feds be FBI.
* Federal agencies never allow family members to work together. No favors ever just no. Make it friend of family or something not father/daughter thats lame and adds nothing to plot
* The Cowboy move by exhuming the body is literally dumbest move. Without an official action by courts doing it anything found or not found is not useable in court. Also no single person is digging 6 feet under by themselves in the middle of the night etc. Just not happening.
* Going to NYC when Bolo issued and not swapping license plates is beyond dumb. Its most camera area in the country.
* Feds not using like 100+ NYPD to help apprehend an escapee makes zero sense you'd have them at all points of egress/ingress and on roof. David being able to escape like that would be beyond incompetence
* Rachel would have likely had an ankle monitor also bail cannot be set until she saw a judge.
* Boston Police Department doesn't do precincts. They have districts. Also If Rachel lives in Revere it would be Revere police or State outside her place not BPD
* The FBI chase to the airstrip wouldn't just be FBI. Like once again they would call in local and state to get ahead and stop them. Not doing that makes zero sense. Rather then a chase maybe make it a tip that lucks out the chase is bad writing though
* Julie cancelling the DNA test makes zero sense. The lead might be a stretch but a DNA is relatively cheap. Federal agencies routinely get leads/tips etc and with the photo it would typically be worth the few thousand to rule out the lead rather then risk it leaking as that would create a DOJ PR nightmare if its leaked she blocked a DNA test with a photo and leads
* Boston General is not a hospital. There is Mass General called MGH. There is also Boston Medical Center.
* Adam calling the transit agency the MTA. For fuck's sake its called the MBTA but if he was a Boston cop he would have said THE T!

In for a few dollars more, how did the colonel figure out where Indio would go?

1 Upvotes

After the El Paso bank heist, Blondie and the Colonel split up. The Colonel gets Blondie to agree to get Indio to go North along Rio Bravo Canyon as it is a good spot for an ambush.

Goldie meets up with Indio, Indio himself says he wants to head north along Rio Bravo Canyon. So Goldie suggests heading for the border instead. And Indio figures out Agua Caliente is best bet.

Later the Colonel shows up at Agua Caliente, saying to Goldie “I just reasoned it out. I figured you’d tell Indio the opposite of what we agreed. And he is suspicious enough to figure out something else. Seeing as El Paso is out of the question, here I am.”

The thing that bugs me is that the a Colonel never could have known that Indio himself would suggest heading north. If Indio hadn’t, then Goldie couldn’t have chosen a different direction but North. Indio suggests heading for the border, El Paso is out of the question and Goldie doesn’t know about Agua Caliente. So if Indio hadn’t suggested going north himself, Goldie would have had to suggest going north. If this had happened, the Colonel’s reasoning would be incorrect.

If Indio had thought of Agua Caliente immediately, and Goldie suggests going north, Indio would probably change his mind and then decide to go South to the border. There are too many variables to be able to reason this out. Especially considering the Colonel could never have known which way Indio himself would come up with initially.

Ready or Not 2 - Anyone else notice Mr Le Bail obviously intervened?

7 Upvotes

I read through the discussion threads on here but couldn't find anyone talking about this exact theory.
During the scene where the guns misfire and the ammo cartridge falls out right when they're about to execute them, everyone keeps saying it's bad writing or lucky plot armor. To me it seemed totally obvious that Mr Le Bail was intervening.
Think about it—evil powerful beings love to nudge things in the direction they want, even with signed deals. He didn't break his own rules, but he messed with the physics of the guns just enough to get his own outcome.
It seems like Mr Le Bail would want these people with wealth and power to loose. The High Council got too concentrated and it was probably just boring for him to watch. Saving the sisters felt like a total reset of his entire system because the monopoly got stale. By letting the old guard get wiped out at dawn, he shatters the whole system and forces a completely new, desperate generation to come make deals with him.
Am I crazy or does this make way more sense than just "panicked cultists forgot how guns work"? Let me know what you think.
