[@aidanplouffe9085]

These plot holes don't really ruin the story. You should follow this up with Major plot holes in tv shows and I discovered a good one from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. I call it Rebekah's lost time. The originals splits off from TVD in 4x20 and the amount of time between that episode and the finale is roughly 1-2 weeks. During that time Rebekah was in Mystic Falls and in the season 5 premier it was revealed she spent the summer with Matt travelling the world. However in TO she shows up in New Orleans 1-2 days after Klaus and Elijah and stays in town for a few months based on Hayley's pregnancy.

Wait... I thought the water weakness that the aliens had in Signs wasn't because it was just water, but because it was blessed water. The father, Mel Gibson's character, blessed each glass of water. Don't entirely know, but I believe the aliens were supposed to be "demons" in some manner.

[@GrantKanigan]

One of my favourite quotes about plot holes is: “if the audience can come up with a reasonable explanation themselves, it’s not a plot hole.”

[@alm2187]

There could be a movie that's completely free of continuity errors. One might still doubt that certain characters would behave in certain ways. Psychology is an inexact science, so it's difficult to prove what's wrong or right about our assessments of the fictional. Or you can take the most conspicuous or egregious of plot holes and come up with explanations. Think of Lucy Lawless on Simpsons claiming wizards explain everything we can't on Xena. You can perceive a flaw with any story. You can explain any plot hole if you put your mind to it. It's just a question of how big a stretch it is either way. 😉

The plothole about the poster in Shawshank redemption is partially explained in the original novella, since Andy became so good at being useful to the guards and the wardens (since in the book changed a few times) that he managed to receive some privileges like more personal freedom, shallow perquisitions and even to live alone in his cell (which was the main reason he managed to create the hole without being noticed for twenty years) For how he reattached the poster, I have no explanation but if I recall correctly in the novella they found the hole immediately, it's an invention of the movie that they discovered it when the warden arrived, which imho was one of the best shots of the movie nonetheless.

[@bheast86]

The poster could have been fixed at the top and unfastened at the bottom, so Andy could drop it after he went into the hole

[@garretthendricks6350]

Agreed its not that huge a plot hole. Guards do get lazy, as everyone does. And if it was strongly taped at the top, I can buy it no problem.

[@icauser44]

I can counter that one. The poster may have been attached to the wall but still allowed him to go through the wall. If the bottom part of the poster was not attached to the wall, only the top part was, he could have just lifted it up and gone through that way, which would allow the poster to stay on the wall.

I've always thought Leia was feeling and seeing memories others had of her mother and misinterpreting them as her own. She was Anikin's daughter, and it is clearly stated "there is another", implying that she also has the ability to feel and influence the force, which could explain her accuracy (or she could just be a great shot). But it's fun to think about.

[@nicholasadams2374]

Thank you. She's a force sensitive. It's well known by then in the original trilogy that, "Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future. The past. Old friends long gone." Thanks Yoda! :)

#1- That isn't even my biggest qualm about the aliens being "allergic" to water. It's not just that there is liquid water covering 66-75% of Earth, or even that there's precipitation most of the time. The biggest problem is that there's HUMIDITY IN THE AIR! The aliens should've started disintegrating or whatever the second they opened their ship doors. That single aspect of the film makes me go insane every time I remember it!

There's a theory they aren't allergic to water. But that they are actually demons not aliens and since the daughter was conceived accidentally she was considered a miracle therefore she was blessed. All the water she touched would have also been blesses the dame way a priest would. That's why they are hurt by it. The mom seeing visions before her death was her communicating with God and telling her husband the holy man to pass along the words of God by telling merril to swing away.

The Lost World entry is actually a case of failed visual storytelling: When we go onto the ship's deck, we see the T-Rex's cage from the island, and a dead crewmember's hand holding the controls for the hold, implying it was on deck when the incorrect injection caused it to break free. Afterwhich, it killed the crew, then was either lured or willingly went into the hold, where a dying crewmember closed the doors on it. The deleted scene is a myth.

8:02 On Beauty and the Beast: I just had a thought on the portrait being an older (21-year-old) version of himself as young man, compared to when he was cursed as a pre-teen: The castle is enchanted along with the people living there. In the ending you see even the castle itself was transformed into a dark foreboding place when it was cursed, turning back into angelic figures and gleaming marble and bright stone. Maybe the painting was too enchanted in that moment of the first curse to be the real image of the prince as he would have been aging naturally, growing along side with him (like a Dorian Grey painting in a sense) and that is why the Beast rips at it, because he does not look or resemble this person; it's a reminder of what he is now: A Beast, not a Man.

In "Blade", Whistler didn't actually turn yet (he was still human), which is why he didn't ash or anything when he shot himself. Also he was so weakened by the attack on him by the vampires, he probably didn't have enough strength to shoot himself in a vital place like the head, or heart. And also also, he was to weak to pick up the gun (which he dropped), and do it right. In fact they explained what happened clearly in "Blade 2" when one of the vampires said , " He shot himself then he turned" They didn't state specifically say where the bullet went. Remember, Blade walked away and we heard the gunshot, but this doesn't necessarily mean that Whistler was dead. He laid there "close" to death for hours until he actually did turn into a vampire and healed. Simple.

The problem with their explanation - which, by the way was something I came up with on my own when I was a kid - is that we actually see Superman decelerate and turn the other direction while Earth is still spinning backwards. If what we were looking at were because he was exceeding _c,_ then Earth should have started spinning forward again when he was slowing down. But no, he accelerates again in the opposite direction, and THEN Earth started spinning forwards. That's just wrong.

So while McGonagall's age is a major plot hole for the HP universe, the reasons WatchMojo gave can be really easily disproven if you've read the books or follow anything on Pottermore. Wizards in general live a much longer life than muggles (Dumbledore's age at death is over 100, Nicholas Flamel is a few hundred?) But via the books and Pottermore, it has been determined that McGonagall's teaching career started in the 50's. So while she could be alive during the time of the Fantastic Beasts films, she would still be a young child. Clearing the film makers just decided to screw with the canon of the books and do what they want. For me, an even more obnoxious plot is in Chamber of Secrets, the teachers claimed that the whole school was searched but couldn't locate a chamber. Did they not think to ask the newly acquired ghost in the girl's bathroom that is in fact the ghost of the girl that was killed? If Dumbledore is such a brilliant wizard how could he not figure that out? Also did they not send the ghosts through the walls and pipes and what not to find this chamber? Surely one of them would have discovered at least one pipe that leads down there

I have a couple of ideas. Maybe as an inherited user of the Force, Leia had special abilities added to her memory to be able to remember vague things about her mother even though she was only a baby, but at that time she didn't know why? As for "Signs," perhaps the aliens were only allergic to fresh water? Our planet has more salt water than fresh water, so maybe they thought they could handle it.

[@alm2187]

I just searched it, and there are some real-world claimants to memory of their own births. There's just no scientific verification. No surprise there since it's hard to believe in the first place and any given case might be impossible to test. The idea that Leia's memory is force-assisted works if that just means presence-sensing. If newborn Leia needs to see Padmé's sad, beautiful face then we gotta check the scene. In this vid, seems to me she's never facing Padda-Mommy with open eyes. So it's inconclusive and depends on interpretation, that's all. 🤗

As good as this video is, the "how does Bruce get back to Gotham so quickly?" question is easily answered. He didn't do it quickly.

There is a city only a short distance away from the entrance to the pit, and Bruce still has connections (not to mention his extensive time travelling incognito in the first act of Batman Begins. Also, not all of the bridges were destroyed as there is that one bridge they were going to use to escape on the school buses, with the cop stopping Black by saying he will shoot if he takes a step and blow the bridge if he steps again.

That's like saying, "Bring me Idi Amin's machine gun." There's absolutely no way it's going to happen. Dorothy and her pals are dead if they try to follow the "Wizard's" advice. They try anyway - and don't die - but it's obviously because of Glinda the Good's intention. Fine. But the Wizard didn't know that. He wasn't in on her scheme to build Dorothy's character by sending her on an impossible mission.

Midnight only depends on the position of the sun and the Earth.

But this one is easily filled. Leia is force sensitive. So through the Force she could have received some images about her mother that she took for memories. I mean, Luke literally sees dead people (force ghosts) including his father as he was before he got burned to a crisp and became Darth Vader. No. 5: This is the same old time travel paradox and I don't think it makes sense to try and analyse it, and call it a plothole. I mean, after sending the T-800 back in time, Skynet should have noticed nothing changed and sent a dozen more. And you can go on like that for every single movie involving time travel. Paradoxes are inheritent to all things time travel, even if they would be possible in real life. See 'the grandfather paradox". No. 2: Yes, it's a major plothole I never even thought about after I saw the movie (all three times!). Because of a joke in Family Guy I did a search for this plothole and found this video. Proves that when you're 'in the zone' of a good movie the suspension of disbelief is strong indeed 😉. No. 1: Admittedly it's an easy way out, even a Deus Ex Machina in that movie. But it's not a plothole at all. Earth may consist of 70% water but the aliens were clearly interested in the other 30%. Humanity has been planning to colonize Mars for a while now and it will happen eventually. We know 100% of the atmosphere on Mars is deadly to us but that doesn't mean we won't go there for other reasons.

If no one else is going to ever know that it was Mike O’Donnell the whole time, then what are they going to think about the guy Mark who they thought he was? They would be like: What happened to Mark? Where did he go? Are we supposed to expect that he just disappears and are ok with it? Even the best friend fell in love with the school principal, and for all she knew, Mark (which is really Mike) was his son. And she’s not going to question, Where’s Mark and if he’s ok? If it was Mark who was his son, I would think the principal would expect to see him again now that she was his acting Stepmom. And again, Mike’s son Alex would have to be concerned cause he made a knew best friend, and made the basketball team because of him. That is all something I’m definitely not buying. Why couldn’t anyone else find out it was Mike O’Donnell anyways? Why did it have to only be between Mike and Scarlet? Even the kids Alex and Maggie never knows? They obviously have a right to know. Cause Mike is their father. Either way, the fact that only a few people know the truth in the end is very flawed.

[@heartpunch99]

The one plot hole that drives me crazy is in Inglourious Basterds. When they are going to blow up the theater, there’s a black man walking around the lobby, locking doors and chaining the handles. Hitler and all the top Nazis are inside. Their entire plot hinged on the fact that there are zero Nazi guards in the lobby.

[@brandonspears6996]

The one about professor McGonagall isn't really a plot hole. Wizards and witches have extended life spans due to magic. I mean, Dumbledore was over 100 years old in the original Harry Potter books/films.

[@Katalyste]

The Gremlins one was pretty funny! It is always midnight somewhere!

[@shortpettite]

So the age thing has always been a thorn in my side lol. I started doing the math. For example Hagrids age. He was expelled in his third year right? We find that out in Chamber of Secrets which flashbacks were 50 yrs ago. Hagrid would have been 13 so that would make him about 63 in the second book/movie. In flashback, Dumbledore is a professor but looks way older than he should. I chalk it up to them just using same actor and not knowing ages. Honestly, it was Dumbledore's age that prompted me to do the math. If we go real time 50 yrs prior (1997 book) that would mean Hagrid was in his third year in 1947. I always chalk it up to wizards just age slower. Timeline wise if Fantastic Beast is in the 20s it would be about 25-30 yrs before Hagrid and Tom/Voldemort attended. I concluded that bare minimum Dubledore was over 100 which kinda makes sense if he got elixer from Flammel. The parents generation are where is gets murky with age. I had assume most of them were in school around same time. You know Snape and the James crew were for a fact but we don't know if say Ron's parents were. I would argue that they are older than Snape, Lily, James and crew because the Weasley's have 2 kids already out of Hogwarts. Think it was said the friends Tom had in school became his death eaters which would imply Snape and Lucious were in school with Tom and Hagrid but I doubt it. They likely joined later. Again I did all this before the Prequel series.

[@balitangkamatis]

aren't wizards and witches live longer than muggles in the HP universe? I think I've read that somewhere, well I might be wrong. carry on

[@tcrpgfan]

@@balitangkamatis Yup. dumbledore himself is over at least 90.

[@tmoore4075]

The Leia remembers her mother bugged me as i first watched episode 3. I get Padme dying is the better story but you clearly set up her surviving in the original trilogy. You gotta stick with that.

[@jeffm9770]

Witches and Wizards seem to live longer than normal lives. Plus McGonnigal is an expert at transfiguration so she could easily be making herself look younger.

@Peyton that's the dumbest thing I ever heard. I wasn't even born yet. Plus, is dying really that big a sacrifice if you just come back a couple of days later?

[@theragincajun2493]

[@tomh.2405]

As much as I love "Jaws," it's just never made sense to me that Chief Brody would go out on that boat during the final act. He hates the water, he knows nothing about boats, and the other two have to waste their time teaching him basic seamanship. (I understand the narrative reason for it; he's the main character, and they also needed to maintain the equilibrium between the three personalities during the movie's final stretch. But still...)

[@elrick44]

the Ant-Man one is an easy fix. Are we absolutely sure that Hank and Hope were fully explaining everything about how the Pym Particals work? Or did they just tell Scott enough to handle the task at hand?

[@lordgreed1]

You would've had a point if they didn't actually show examples of what she was talking about

[@DarianDuncn]

In Beauty and The Beast he was cursed as an adult and stopped aging when he turned into a beast. “Doomed to remain a beast FOREVER” ie as The Beast he doesn’t age. The 21st year is meaning, his 21st year as a beast

[@keithg460]

19, she grabs his face and says "Oh my God, you look EXACTLY like my ex husband." And for the rest of the movie she is unnerved by that fact and even flirts with the 17-year old and almost kisses him because she gets confused and suddenly thinks she's 17 and that he's her husband (which he is, but he's pretending he isn't). This isn't a plothole at all. If she hadn't recognized him, it would be a plot hole. The movie uses this obvious consequence of the magic age transformation to add more conflict to the story, not remove it or ignore it. 15, Cypher did exactly that. He wrote a program to unplug himself, and that moment where Neo catches him offguard is the proof. The writers stated this, and you're supposed to infer it. You can only consider it a plothole if you need to be spoonfed the plot.

[@CesarACastillo]

Leia knowing her mother can be explained by the mysteries of the Living Force. She’s the daughter of the Chosen One so she would have a Midi-chlorian count close to if not equaling her father’s. We’ve seen Annie do things no other Jedi have done before. Leia could’ve connected to her mother in her dying moments and gleaned impressions of her face.

[@white-dragon4424]

Then why can't Luke remember her?

[@CesarACastillo]

@@white-dragon4424 maybe he didn’t connect to her the Force acts in strange ways when used by the untrained.

Weird how Luke and their father the litteral avatar of the force doesn't have anything like this isn't it.

[@josh72456]

@White-Dragon I think George Lucas didn’t think a lot of it through when writing Episode 6 and then transferring it later on in Episode 3.

[@white-dragon4424]

@@josh72456 That's the real answer, rather than a bunch of BS excuses by Lucas fanboys.

My favourite one is from Back to the Future 2, where old Biff from 2015 goes back to hand his younger self the Almanac and then returns the DeLorean to the same timelime he just left... despite Doc later *literally drawing Marty a picture* to explain why this is not possible. 😂

Andy in shawshank has rock tools. He could have folded the bottom of the poster upward and back. Then put flat stone in the fold and glued it with almost anything. Long enough peace's will keep the poster rigid and down.

Also in Spiderman no way home. Flint Marko(Sandman) didn't know that Peter Parker was spiderman either. Tobey Maguire's Spiderman revealed his face to Flint in Spiderman 3, and told Flint that Ben Parker was his uncle. But Peter never said that his name was Peter.

[@Paulafan5]

Maybe the spell was broken (it did tear the universe a new one...). He knew Spider-man's face and Electro knew Spider-man's real name (but not what his face looked like).
