Most hallmark movies.
Also Nothing to Lose
John Wick, I mean who the fuck brakes in to a dudes house and shoots his dog.
Every police officer ever.
Must have been haitian cops
that would make for an amazing john wick film
Fight Club and the countless movies like it, which are character-driven and the character is driven by extremely maladjusted desires and behaviors.
“Alright, but isn’t that being ableist in Fight Club’s case?”
No, if both of the alters acted like normal people, you’d just have an especially weird buddy comedy with none of the conflict of the original movie.
Every dragged out rom-com.
“We have a bad misunderstanding about why our relationship sucks!”
“Well, let’s sit down and talk it over, okay?”
“Okay”
End.
Normal people talk things over? I would seriously believe that to be the farfetched scenario.
I would watch this movie with so much popcorn.
So you would have a handful of popcorn and the movie would be over.
Air bud. “You guys are insane. Listen. Your team will forfeit every game that dog takes the court.”
It’s crazy how this became a movie trope. It doesn’t say in the rules that a giraffe can’t be in the swim team.
28 Weeks Later.
After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.
“Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”
“My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”
Good to see you are out of your 5 year coma…
…surely you have kissably fresh breath…
Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by…
It’s completely normal behaviour, it just turns out that normal people are fucking morons.
if I recall correctly, one of Melbourne’s major outbreaks was because one of the quarantine security guards was fucking a quarantined patient
Crap, you’re right. My original question is some fantasy that people aren’t idiots.
Ugh. You’re annoyingly right.
The Sixth Sense.
Home Alone.
“Hey, sorry Kevin. Come on, hop in the car.”
Oh this is a great one.
I think the movie actually did a reasonable job of explaining it. Multiple different households were traveling together, the whole thing was chaotic, a neighbors kid dropped by and was included in the head count, Kevin was on the attic and so out of sight, they were running late, etc.
The 2nd and third time tho?
Almost any horror film
House on haunted Hill & Cabin in the woods bouth seem kinda plausible
As a bonus, I remember watching Walker Texas Ranger with my father in law, amd the amount of times people had their sights on him and didn’t shoot him was ridiculous. He’d have died so fast.
Same with James Bond
He would have reflected the bullets with his abs
Nah, the bullets would’ve just given up halfway through flight
The Host
„Dump all the formaldehyde down the drain.“
„No that would pollute the water!“
„Oh ok let’s not do that.“
The End.
28 Days Later
2020 proved that one entirely plausible
Shark pool
Lord of the rings
“You know, I have these amazing birds, and we could use them to fly straight to the end of this trilogy.“
Pretty sure the whole reasoning behind the eagles not taking the ring to Mt doom was because of the nazgul. That’s why Gandalf had the whole Hobbits sneak into Mordor plan.
Yeah, not understanding that is a consequence of people not reading the source material, because Tolkien definitely explains exactly why the eagles couldn’t do that.
On the other hand, I think it’s a valid criticism of the movies that, for all the amazing things he did in that trilogy, Peter Jackson failed to explain something minor that turned out to be a lingering issue for some segment of the wider audience that would consume that adaptation.
Can confirm. Didn’t read the books, so here we are.
As an absurdly fervent Tolkien fan, people bringing up the Eagles spikes my blood pressure in a way that cannot be good in the long run.
In addition to the flying Nazgûl and what not, the ring could corrupt the proud eagle. They’d just fly off with it and then you have another problem.
Like somehow picking the new ruler of Numenor. Such a weird thing.
Plus, nobody tells a Middle Earth eagle what to do.
And get shot out of the sky, hand-delivering the Ring to Sauron.
That would be an interesting start for a completely different saga.
“Ok, so that plan didn’t work. Like, not even a little bit. Now the whole world is on fire, thanks to our genius shortcut. Any plans how we could fix that?“
*begin construction of a large cartoony catapult*
Couple of small issues with that idea: can’t hide from the big fiery sauron eye, and nazguls on pteradactyls.
Back to the Future.
A normal Doc Brown wouldn’t have invented a time machine.
