In Terminator, in the car park scene when they're bashing each other around in the cars - Kyle wins and the Terminator crashes. Immediately after that they are apprehended by the police and the Terminator is nowhere to be seen. Why did he run? They had nowhere to go and since he took out a whole police station it wouldn't have been difficult to get them.
I could have understood that scene more had the Terminator been wedged tight in the car or even the concrete wall but as it is it makes zero sense.
I had to sit through Abducted lastnight.
Some decent action sequences but such a ridiculous plot, it's not worth mentioning the amount of P.I.S was involved...
What bugged me afterwards was realising the stupid title.
Nobody, NO ONE in the entire film....was abducted.
Nearly every horror/thriller movie in existence, where the next victim feels it necessary to walk into a dimly light/dark room after hearing a noise/seeing something even though they know there's someone/something about killing people off...and then they die. They are doomed to die. It happens everytime without fail.
And I don't mean the people at the beginning of the films, they're forgiven for being the first of many.
Even by horror movie standards, See No Evil, which for some reason I saw, was ridiculously PIS filled.
Probably the most notable example is some guy walking through the spooky house, noticing a tripwire before walking into it, and he proceeds to... Bend down and pull on it while saying "HEY ITS A TRIPWIRE". Thus alerting Kane to their presence.
Oh i'm too afraid to stay in this cave with bodies that have been dead for about a billion years but oh look an alien penis snake wants to play with me. This sounds like a good idea!
Also iirc they had the maps and still got lost yet the others made it out fine....
As a HUGE fan of the comics infinity gems story line in "Thanos Quest & Infinity Gauntlet". I agree.
But its understandable that they depowered it. It wouldnt make any sense to let the heroes they have featured in these films in over a decade have Zero chance to stop Thanos. They needed to tone down a lot of stuff to make it a more grounded film so it can make sense in the MCU.
Wouldnt make sense if the final battle was with characters no one has heard of like Eternity, Living Tribunal, Lord Chaos , Master Order, Beyonder, etc VS. Thanos.
That would have no emotional connection with audiences. So they had to make it so the heroes had a chance.

Instead I will leave you here to slowly burn to death in excruciating agony. Farewell!"

BAD: GoT Season 7 (ya it's TV. Sue me.): The heroes go to get a wight to show Cersei that the Whitewalkers are real and that they need to band together. By doing so, Dany's dragon Viseryon is killed and turned undead by the Night King. Pretty stupid to begin with, trading a dragon - one of only three in this fictional world at the time - for a zombie. Very bad Heroes of Might and Magic 3 tactic.
Here's the horrible kicker though: an undead, blue ice/fire-breathing dragon is exactly what the doctor ordered. The Night King and the Whitewalker army use said dragon to get through the Wall, a magic-imbued giant terrain barrier that prevents any ice zombie army from getting through to the south.
If the heroes just WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING, then you can have a Whitewalker siege at the Wall that would be nigh-unloseable for humanity south of the Wall. Instead, well... [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the tactical abomination that is the Battle at Winterfell just happened. RIP the horse lords, the Dothraki, some of the worst unbeatable army tropes that ever landed on the small screen.
that was actually set up at the end of TIH, Banner smiles as his eyes turn green, indicating some form of control over the Hulk and Banner even says in Avengers that his secret to controlling Hulk is that he's "always angry"
Now he DOES go crazy on the helicarrier but that was a calculated attack from Loki meant to rile the Hulk up, id imagine in order for Bruce to control Hulk the transformation has to be done under his control no triggered by outside sources.
Jon Wick. Love that film, but there is some pretty high pis moments.
Here’s a glaring moment. After John is captured, Viggo just turns around and let his henchmen finish him off, and they try to finish him with a plastic bag over his head, hence letting his mentor the time to snipe the bad guys.
A simple round to the dome would have done the job.
