PIS

PIS = Plot Induced Stupidity

At times, for the sake of the plot, characters that are immensely more powerful than their opponent will "job" to carry on the plot of the story, even though the characters powers and history would clearly show that they are more than capable of destroying their opponent.

Which one has the most PIS?

WWE
Movies
Comics books/Novels
TV shows
Other

Re: PIS

Probably comics.

Though I don't know anything about the WWE cept that it's filled with closeted homosexual roid-ragers.

Definitely WWE. It is hard to find a fight without pis in the pay per view kind of wrestling

Comics. Everything that happens in PIS of some sort. With decades of continuity to tangle through it's hard to avoid.

I suppose if your definition of something not being PIS is being always and ever in anything the character appears in exactly equal in its powerset, you'd still be wrong, but close anyways. Though I don't think that's a fair definition.

I guess that might not be fair, consistency within an issue or arc is of much greater importance, but if he's taking PIS from the way it's used on these forums then that does seem to be the definition.

I am not using just only forum rules PIS. I am talking about PIS in general. Hence why I took out the last part that was referring to the comic vs forum.

Van Damme and Rocky use PIS a lot.

Comics and Movies.

Comics have to dream up really daft stories in order to get their "hero´s" to fight various enemies. Superman is a prime example, the man who can move planetssmile

In movies what really gets me is they have some powerfull villain who can wipe people out "Just like that" then to make the movie more interesting these powerfull characters end up in a long fight with some vastly less powerfull "hero". Take the latest Predator movie, good entertainment I know. But compare how easy the predators killed folk in the start of the movie, as apposed to near the end where on goes "one on one" with a Japanese mafia bloke and they BOTH DIE HAHAHAH

It's definitely TV. Watch an episode of House. Why do they ever doubt him? Or go retro to Quincy. Why do they ever doubt him? Macgyver or the A Team anyone? TV for sure.
