The Dumbest Scene In Movie History

Sometimes to really appreciate the scale of a disaster, you need to break it down a little. So it back and enjoy as I examine a key scene from Rebel Moon Part 2 - possibly the dumbest 3 minutes in cinema history.

[@awesomehpt8938]

The dumbest scene was watching farmers in the far future collecting their harvest by hand in slow motion and chucking it unto a levitating cart. Instead of using a single combine harvester.

[@Unknown-ek1ox]

Yeah lmao and the fact they have to almost beg for it from a bunch of farmers who refuse to use modern technology but ... actually they don't. They live this rural old lifestyle but then use hover-carts to throw their crops in rather than something with maybe less independence on technologically advanced spare parts. It's sort as inconsequential like the rest of the movie.

[@funsciencecheltenham9829]

That's pretty much what I said. They have interstellar travel, but no capacity to grow food on this enormous ship? I mean, we can make meat in a lab now. Then I saw that the ships were powered by coal and I said oh never mind logic isn't important apparently carry on.

[@namewithheld8115]

The fact that they were chronically short of toilet paper would explain why the Emperor and Darth Vader were always in such bad moods. I'd be willing to blow up a planet or two if I constantly had to send legions of stormtroopers to secure a roll of toilet paper for me.

5:18 Tragically, this couple are apparently also depictions of real life events. These are Isa and Isidor Strauss, who were incredibly wealthy husband and wife couple who owned the Macy's toy store in Chicago along with Isidor's brother. The two had been married for over forty years, and when the Titanic was sinking, despite Isidor urging her to board a boat to safety, Ida insisted on remaining by her husband's side in their final moments. In an ironic quirk of fate, their great-great granddaughter would lose her husband, Richard Rush, in the OceanGate submersible. ... I'd literally rather talk about anything other than Rebel Moon.

[@lordmontymord8701]

Well this could work - with better characters (and someone else than Hack Snyder): The movies establish that Kora was raised by Bad Guy - after he lead the troops that killed her parents. So if there were scenes indicating that Belisarius did not only raise her as his personal killing-machine, but also looked like he really cared for her, then this would be believable. The obvious comparison would be Gamora and Thanos: Gamora hated what he did (and what he made her do), so she killed the illusion-Thanos in Infinity War when she saw her chance. But she was obviously distressed afterwards. Because he wasn't just a monster. He really loved her (in his twisted way). I don't know ... since Snyder has stitched this movie together from so many better things it's possible that he really used Gamora as "inspiration" - but like with everything else forgot to have it make sense in his universe.

Depending on how much of a Star Wars nerd you are (or were, now), such as myself, I tie it between that, and in The Last Jedi, the evil "Supremacy" and its entire support fleet, crewed and led by white men, getting hyperspace rammed and destroyed by a literal purple haired nonbinary space lesbian in a "maneuver" that there is no way she could have known it would work how it did. However cool that scene LOOKED, and in all fairness sure the actual impact LOOKED and sounded cool, it still completely annihilated and invalidated 99% of the Star Wars space battle lore, especially considering despite them literally saying in the start of RoS that "That was a one in a million fluke" or whatever AS AN EXCUSE FOR why they don't just use it to solve every single problem in the movie, like just taking a few small ships and ramming Palpatine's whole fleet at Exogol, (they are literally all just sitting there in rows asking for it LOL) we see at the end of Rise of Skywalker that it is in fact just a normal thing now; any larger capitol ship/dreadnought and probably even death star sized space station can be easily annihilated by anything larger than a fighter just going lightspeed at it. There is zero reason why people wouldn't start just manufacturing Clone Wars-esque drone ships that are little more than maneuverable hyper drives, whose sole purpose is to ram larger enemy vessels, since it apparently even goes through their shields. Anyways, "Somehow Palpatine returned" is probably still worse... Oscar deserved better LOL.

At the end of the episode he's alone in his quarters with the only thing left from that world, that flute, and he starts to play that sad melody he learned, then you see the ship fly away from the exterior while that song keeps playing.

WRONG! For example: the space Tarzan dude. We spend a long sequence in part 1, where he tames that Hippogriff. So, you assume that he will gather some of these creatures and lead them into battle against the Imperium forces. Instead he just fights like a normal dude. Or the Asian chick, with the (not)-lighsabers, you would think she will go full-on Rurouni Kenshin swordmaster style, instead she has 1 fight scene against 4 enemy soldiers, which she barely defeats and then dies from her injuries. And best of all: Djimon Hounsou's general Titus, who is supposed to be the greatest general in the galaxy. You think: ''Oh man, he's gonna use some cool tactics and what not." His strategy is: "Use the sacks of flour as cover, because the Empire needs the grain." And Plan B: ''Do a frontal assault against an enemy with superior numbers & firepower." Alexander the Great, Hannibal Barca, Sun Tzu, Napoleon Bonaparte & Marshal Rommel have nothing on this ''strategic genius".
