In episode 17, when Commander Taggart is about to escape the neutron field in the omega-13, he used the auxiliary of deck B... But in the next episode, the schematic shows that deck has been totally vaporized. I was just wondering, do you think that's a continuity error, or do you think there's a justifiable reason for it?
The first Ant Man had this rule where any objects that are shrunk will stay as the weight they originally were. Yet Hank Pym carries around a shrunken tank on a keychain! Scandalous!
In The Matrix, humans were used as batteries. The energy requirements needed by a body to sustain itself outweigh feeding it to extract energy. It would've been more efficient to burn the food directly instead of feeding it to people.
He just puts on someone else's expensive tailored suit, and it magically re-tailors itself to fit him perfectly.
That's not how fabric or thread works. And it was deeply disorienting in a film that is otherwise careful to ensure that details like that matter and are reasonable.
The scene in Pulp Fiction where Butch kills Vincent.
I am pretty fucking sure it's actually a dream/imagined scenario by Butch, simply because when it ends, it cuts back to Butch in his car saying "that's how you're gonna beat 'em, Butch. They're just gonna keep underwstimatin' ya" as he pulls up to the apartment. But then, instead of getting to go in and grab his watch as he imagined, he instead runs into Marcellus in the middle of the street, leading to that whole thing with the rapists.
He does end up getting his watch, but after he and Marcellus part ways. Vincent never actually dies.
The ending to Castle. A series that went on for eight seasons, where they were given several warnings about how the actors (who didn't get along) might quit and challenge production, and then it happens, and instead of preparing a proper ending or deciding to recast Beckett, they had the characters win against the mafia, then randomly die because the writers are absolutely obsessed with cliffhangers, then randomly be brought back to life, then randomly turn it into a Wizard of Oz type of ending with kids we've never seen before, all because they stalled writing an ending until the very last moment. As much as people blame Stana Katic for leaving and throwing a wrench into things, you can't say the writers didn't have some kind of hand in how things turned out. Every possible thing that could've fixed the show was voluntarily ignored.
He’s always bugging me about my house. Fifteen years ago, we agreed, that house belongs to me. Now the value of the house is going up and he’s seeing dollar signs. Everything goes wrong at once. Nobody wants to help me, and I’m dying.
Lisa:
You’re not dying, mom.
Claudette:
I got the results of the test back. I definitely have breast cancer.
Lisa:
Look, don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine. They’re curing lots of people every day.
In Rock 'n' Roll High School Forever, the scene where they go over to someone's house and pretend to worship their refrigerator doesn't further the plot or character development in any way.
The biggest one for me is in Butterfly effect, when he goes back in time and gives himself the scars, it goes against everything we learned about time travel in that movie. If he did that he would have had the scars all along, they would not have appeared out of thin air, also the timeline would have diverged there.
The Office, Season 6, episode 20, “The Leads”. All the characters in this episode always seemed to me like they had a different personality for just this one episode. It really stands out IMO.
A lot of scenes are just thinly veiled commercials - why are we spending so much time looking at the front of a brand-new car the characters are getting into? It's always awkward and takes away from the scene.
Chicago fire. Stella and Severide being "away" longer than expected. Out of the blue ignoring the other one. I know the actors had other work to do, but it was sloppy writing.
That's really interesting but I think that suffers from a similar issue because I'd assume the processing power needed to run the matrix alone would be much greater than 1:1 per human.
Drop the scene from deadpool and wolverine where they chop up a hundred deadpools. It's cheap cgi at that. The animations at the end were pulled straight from a video game
