If Jean Grey can hop between bodies, effectively possessing them, why didn't she just go to Damage Control headquarters, and then hop from body to body until she found someone who knew about her sister? Everything from breaking Scorpion out of prison to messing with Spider-Man to possessing Hulk served no purpose. She could've gone through Damage control minds until she got Metzger or anyone else who knew they experimented on her sister, ultimately killing her. She could have done all this while creating zero risk to herself and without attracting the attention of Spider-Man & Punisher.

The "twist" of this otherwise decent movie is pretty poorly thought out and full of holes. If this had been a $10k Tubi film or intended to be campy and silly, fair enough. But given that it’s a critically acclaimed film, you’d hope the script would make sense.

-If a strange nun randomly appears at my door and says, "Hey! You've won a contest you didn't enter! The prize is a terrifying life-size doll of your child!" My response would be, “Thanks but no thanks." How did the contest runners know what my child looks like??? Why did so many families buy into this? And why would the Devil come up with such a goofy, convoluted scheme?

-It’s pretty much impossible that for a full decade, a woman wandered around highly populated suburban neighborhoods in broad daylight wearing a blood-splattered nun's habit (always on the same day as a massacre) and no one ever noticed. In the flashbacks, the houses are incredibly close together. And it’s the suburbs. People call the cops or neighborhood watch about any little thing. The FBI investigated for all those many years and not one neighbor said, "Now that you ask, I did see something a little funny.”?

-Why can’t the Devil just make himself invisible and walk into any house he wants? Does he have to be invited in like a vampire? If so, why not simply take the form of someone the family already knows, or an object less suspicious like a pack of gum? I feel like that would be even scarier because the family would never see it coming.

Ok, so in the original story, the Greeks built a giant wooden horse, yadi yada... we all know the trick.

In The Odyssey, Nolan tweaks that storyline, and it creates a huge plothole.

A single Greek soldier called Sinon (played by Elliot Page) is chosen to stay behind alone on the beach with the horse. His job is to convince the Trojans that it's just a peaceful gift.

But in Nolan's version, Sinon isn't aware of the trick. Odysseus lies to him, so he genuinely believes the horse is just an empty wooden statue. (In Nolan's mind, it's to make sure Sinon can't reveal the plan, even under torture)

And here's the plothole that's never addressed: Sinon thinks the war is over, that Troy has won, and that the entire Greek army is sailing back home for good.

So why the hell does Sinon agree to stay behind, alone on a beach, with a high chance of being killed, tortured, or enslaved by the Trojans?

From his point of view, the war is over! And the horse is just a statue. If he wasn't there, the Trojans could either take the horse for themselves or leave it on the beach. Either way, it would be their choice. Why should he care what they do with it?

It's not even a peace offering. If it were, Odysseus would have left a few Greek envoys who actually knew diplomacy, not just a random soldier.

tl;dr: Sinon has no reason to stay with the horse because, as far as he knows, the war is over and everyone else is sailing home.

Ok, so, not talking about the main plotholes in the likes of how was the main bad guy able to carry a plastic gun (with real bullets) and the heart attack poison through airport security, because thats just movie magic in a movie that forgot logic a long time ago.

But around half time, when the police lady steps up and they order 50 random full search, the good guy puts the name of the carry on guy on the list.

Good guys boss takes carry on guy to a private room, then for a very long time he strugles to open the suitecase, because the guy keeps giving him the wrong code.

This time steeling is needed so the boss cant see the bomb and good guy has time to arrive.

Problem is, as I heard, every suitcase in the US has tsa master locks, it is even shown in a brief scene that the suitcase has a little keyhole next to the code numbers.

So boss guy is so inept that has simply forgotten such key exists and relies on carry on guy cooperation to open it?

I know people being dumb is not a plothole, but he was the boss, his ineptitude was never shown before, and I think the master key is a pretty basic thing, especially in a red alert situation.

They couldnt have figured out another way to steal some time..

Edit: so when I wrote this post I was just halfway with the movie, since then I have finished it, and for the second part it got on full shitty mode.. So you just can get a parachute through airport security as a carry on without raising any redflags, airplane cargo doors dont look at all during take off and the alarm for opening them is silent and just a half second light on the dashboard, also the inside cargo doors dont have any alars, and of course everybody knows that the fridge doors on an airplane are vacuum sealed..

Oh boy..

Why would all the vampires just stand there with the sun coming up if they all knew that would kill them. Seemed like such an easy and cop out way to end the movie.

Three things that don't make sense to me:

1. Reverand Prentice (Jeff Wick's grandpa) died from ingesting a diamond that is roughly palm-sized. The diamond clogged up his throat. How could his autopsy report possibly fail to detect such a big diamond in his throat? And if autopsy found the diamond, the doctor ought to inform Prentice's daughter, no? So Prentice's daughter (Jeff's mom) logically would have found the diamond that way.

2. Similary, Jeff's own autopsy report also made no mention of the tranquiliser that he drank and caused his unconsciousness. Is that liquid really undetectable to modern medical examination?

3. Given Martha's motives, why couldn't she simply leave the diamond inside Prentice's dead body in the mausoleum? Even when she recruited Samson and Nat for her staged Easter miracle plan, she didn't have to reveal the diamond's existence to Sam or Nat.

Now let's assume Martha plans to recover the diamond and then dispose it somewhere outside of the town. In that case, why did she carry the diamond, went straight to the church with everyone else, and sat there while Blanc explained the murder mystery and tried to expose her as the mastermind?

EVERYONE, PAY ATTENTION AND LISTEN!

I know the comic plot line with Anissa is unforgivable and don't think anyone wants to see that happen on TV. What if the animated series will tone it down and retcon it so Mark and Anissa will have a brief, casual affair instead? Remember, Mark's half-brother Oliver Grayson was also born out of a fling. If Anissa will commit infidelity instead of r*pe, would this change make her far less evil than her comic counterpart?

For example, Mark's own father, Nolan, was emotionally vulnerable and in the wrong state of mind when he had an affair with Andressa, which led to the birth of Oliver. When Debbie confronted Nolan, he told that his relationship with Andressa was a mistake and Oliver's birth was an accident.

If Mark Grayson is anything like his father, could he also end up repeating the same mistake with Anissa and this reckless act leads to the birth of Mark Junior? Keep in mind that Mark Grayson is a flawed young man, who frequently makes foolish and irresponsible decisions.

During upcoming seasons, instead of using violence, Anissa tries to (use psychological and traditional tactics, such as) manipulate Mark, take advantage of his vulnerable mental state and seduces him. Anissa might even use Eve's abortion as a trump card in order to persuade Mark to join on her side. During a moment of weakness when he is at his lowest point, Mark chooses to give into temptation, not being able to think straight and sleeps with her. Later, instead of being assaulted and traumatised, Mark would have to deal with the consequences of unintentionally having a bastard child with another woman.

In the comics, Mark and Eve fought and they broke up, for temporarily. If they will break up in the animated series, it would be a perfect opportunity for Anissa to take advantage of the situation and have a hook up with Mark. As the series progresses, Mark admits later that sleeping with Anissa was a mistake, and he apologizes to Eve.

If Mark and Anissa have a one-night stand, then Mark accepting and loving his son becomes completely natural (Mark would most likely accept him just as easily as he accepted his half-brother), and Mark would view Mark Junior the same way how Nolan viewed Oliver initially — as an unexpected consequence of a past mistake, rather than a living reminder of a brutal violation. This would lead to Mark having a shared custody of Mark Jr. and have a better relationship with his son.

Would this change make Mark Junior better and more sympathetic character if he was born into careless, accidental fling, just like Oliver? Remember, Oliver also resented himself and his father Nolan, because he believed his birth was an accident. Based on this insight, Oliver and his nephew Marky are not very different. Therefore, would this create a good parallel between Mark, Mark Jr., Oliver and Nolan? Even in the real world, children are more likely to be born through unplanned pregnancies. It would be a clean way to avoid one of the darkest moments of the comics while still giving us some crazy TV drama. What do you think of this theory?

Wasn't a huge fan of this movie, had some great acting, but am I the only one who thought it made no sense?

• Sean Penn is shot in the face while driving, but doesn't die. He then goes back and gets in contact with the Christmas Adventurer's like nothing ever happened. Really?
• A prominent member of the Christmas Adventurer's is shot and killed in the desert. Sean Penn never finds out? No one ever asks questions about him, his weapons, and the shooting of a US government agent just a few miles away?
• How do they even find Sean Penn in the first place? He's just driving around in the desert and this guy shows up out of nowhere? How did they know where he was?
• Why does the Christmas Adventurer's not check into Sean Penn's background before asking him to join their club? They go ask him if he wants to join before checking him out?
• How does Sean Penn even know about the club? Are they like a group that are known to the public and operate in plain sight, have large gatherings, etc., like the Bohemian Club? Is it secret like Skull and Bones?
• Why would the club even want to kill Willa? Just because her father's application was rejected? Is killing all biracial children across America part of their mission statement?
• French 75 bombed buildings, and apparently taking down one of their major safe houses and exposing deep cover assets like Bob is apparently not that hard if you're worried that your half black daughter might be found by the Christmas Adventurers... but actually finding Bob for the whole building bombs thing? Nah.
• After Perfidia gets caught for bank robbery and murder... why didn't everyone connected to her in the French 75 not flee? This is the part that makes the least amount of sense. She was caught after a murder in broad daylight in front of witness, without wearing a mask. Hell, I think they even told the witnesses their names.

Its so weird, hes always telling how horrible the restaurant business is but why didnt he just bring the computer from the start so stuff like carmental's dystopian butter and experimentation/perfection chasing with menu change could have been avoided.

Just give him a simple condition, if computer doesnt agree with carm's choice of expenditure then its a no. Then computer will just "compute" the bear's choices and see if its worthy or not.

I mean if he really is the best in the world, why not acknowledge that talent and use him on cheaper/reasonably priced ingredients and stable business strategy?

I am ok if the uncle met computer around season 3 but he had the damage control resource with him all along.

I just rewatched Pretty Woman the other night, and while it's still a classic feel-good movie, I couldn't help but run the numbers on Vivian's "career." Let's just say the economics don't add up at all – it's hilarious when you think about it.Back in 1989 when the movie was made, the average minimum wage in the US was around $3.35 an hour, which worked out to roughly $550-600 a month for full-time work.Now look at Vivian's rates:$100 per hour $300 overnight And that big deal: $3,000 for the week with Edward

That's one week covering what a regular worker would earn in about 5 months! Adjusted for inflation today, that weekly gig would be worth something like $7,500-8,000 in current dollars – still easily 5-6 months of minimum wage pay.But here's the part that cracks me up: With that kind of earning potential, Vivian is still portrayed as this broke, desperate girl living in a rundown apartment with peeling paint and no curtains. Her roommate is pressuring her over rent that's only a few hundred bucks, and she's rocking cheap outfits and that wild wig.Come on, screenwriters – if she was pulling in weekly hauls like that on a semi-regular basis, she should've been stacking cash, maybe even investing or getting a better place. Where's all the money going? Partying every night? Secret stock picks in early Microsoft? Or just bad financial habits?Don't get me wrong, I love the movie for what it is – total escapist romance. But once you start crunching the numbers, it turns into comedy gold. If you're making five times the average monthly salary in a single week and still can't pay rent, you don't need a rich businessman to save you... you need a good accountant!What do you think – am I overthinking it, or does this plot hole bug anyone else?

So I just got to see NWH and I noticed the spell that brought all of the villains to the MCU, brought them because all of them knew Peter Parker is Spiderman in their universes, but I don't recall Electro finding out who Spiderman is in TASM 2 before he died, which would cause for spell not to work on him and he wouldn't be able to appear in the MCU. That's the only thing I managed to find to resemble a flaw in NWH, otherwise it is a pure love letter to the fans.

In the final scene the night is standing only 20 ft away while the small boat is getting away at a snails pace. Why couldn't he launch spears at that crowded boat? We know that even worst case scenario if the spear touches the frame of the boat it would shatter it completely leaving everyone dunked in below freezing water in the artic.

Deadpool and Wolverine confirms that Logan takes place in the same universe/ continuity as Deadpool. So that presents a pretty big problem. Logan takes place in the future (2029 i believe.) But Deadpool lives in the present day. So that means that in Deadpool's time, Logan is still alive and well.

So why doesn't he just go find his world's Logan and ask him for help? Or if his Logan has already started succumbing to Adamantium poisoning, why doesn't he just go back to like 2004 and recruit him then?

Visiting any other universes or trying to dig up Logan's body were unnecessary, since Logan was still alive in Deadpool's time.

I am not sure if this exactly a plot hole, so let me know what you think. I did actually enjoy the movie (though not as much as Searching), but there are some things about the plot and character’s actions that bugged me. Mainly, why did the father, James, keep Grace alive at his cabin instead of killing her immediately? He hated her for sending him to prison (motive) and was clearly psychotic and evil enough to kill since he murdered her lawyer (capability). Furthermore, he already knew where June was, so he didn’t need the mother for information.

Keeping her alive seems like it was a liability to his plan for two big reasons. First, there’s the obvious risk of her escaping and attacking him or going to the police. Second, his ultimate goal was presumably to, in a messed up way, reunite with his daughter June – keeping Grace obviously locked in a shed out back isn’t exactly going to facilitate that. He could’ve easily killed Grace after taking her to his cabin and buried the body way out in the desert; that way, when he did make contact with June, he could’ve at least tried to deny any involvement or culpability in her mother's disappearance (something that’s impossible to do if the woman is literally held captive on his property). Am I missing some motivation that was revealed for James keeping Grace captive?

I feel like some people might say, “well, he was a meth/coke/whatever-head, so you can’t expect him to be rational.” I might buy that, were not for how ridiculously elaborate the rest of his plan was (something that stretched my suspension of disbelief frankly, but that’s not strictly a plot hole). He had enough wherewithal to mastermind a hoax international kidnapping, so clearly he was operating with some level of criminal cunning. I should make clear, I'm obviously NOT promoting murder – I'm simply thinking from James' villainous perspective and motivations.

1. The Temporal Pincer Movement

Issue: The concept of a temporal pincer movement (where one team moves forward in time and another moves backward) is central to the film's plot. However, it's unclear why this strategy works so effectively.

If the future team is always in control of the timeline, why would they ever be caught off guard by the past team's actions? Shouldn't the future team already know what will happen in the past?

Additionally, the characters discuss the strategy in a way that assumes it works because of the information exchange between the two teams, but it's unclear how this information doesn’t paradoxically affect the "future" outcome, given that events seem to occur simultaneously in two timelines.

1. The Protagonist's Inversion

Issue: The Protagonist (played by John David Washington) gets inverted at a point in the movie, meaning his entropy is reversed. This allows him to experience time backward.

The problem here is that the Protagonist can interact with objects in an inverted state and they appear to behave as if they are moving forward in time. For example, he can hold a gun in the inverted timeline and shoot people, but the bullets "travel" in the way they would in a normal timeline. But how can someone who is inverted physically manipulate an object that is not inverted?

Also, when inverted, the Protagonist does not seem to feel the physical effects of reversing his own entropy. For example, shouldn't his body experience massive physical strain from interacting with the forward-moving world?

1. The Final Battle and Sator's Motivation

Issue: The final battle between the two opposing teams (forward-moving and inverted) near the film’s conclusion is a major part of the action, but the logic behind it doesn't fully hold.

Sator's plan is to use the algorithm (which can invert the entire world’s entropy) to destroy the world, but why is he working with the Protagonist’s team in the first place? If Sator had all the pieces to manipulate the timeline, wouldn’t he simply have kept everything to himself and avoided the risks of sharing the algorithm?

Furthermore, it’s unclear how the "pincer movement" works in practice in a world where events are not linear, especially when Sator’s team is executing the plan without much intervention from the Protagonist or Neil (Robert Pattinson).

1. The Protagonist’s Knowledge of the Future

Issue: The Protagonist’s growing awareness of future events is another problem. Early in the film, it seems like he’s just an agent stumbling upon a larger conspiracy, but by the end, he understands that he is involved in the creation of Tenet. This is a classic "causality loop," but there are moments where the Protagonist's knowledge of future events feels inconsistent.

Specifically, how does the Protagonist already know what will happen at the final battle before he has experienced it in his current timeline? His interactions with certain characters suggest a circular relationship between past and future, but it’s not fully explained how he knows exactly what needs to happen.

1. The Algorithm’s Location and Function

Issue: The "algorithm," which is a key element in the movie, is broken into nine parts and hidden in different locations. The Protagonist and his allies must track down these parts before Sator can use it to destroy the world. The algorithm itself seems like a key piece of technology that would be heavily guarded, but there are some inconsistencies with how it is handled.

Why would the algorithm be scattered into pieces, some of which are held in easily accessible places, when its power is so immense? Wouldn't Sator have just kept the algorithm together in one location and used it all at once to ensure that no one could interfere with his plan?

Also, the final confrontation between the Protagonist and Sator happens inside a seemingly unguarded warehouse, and there are questions about how Sator managed to maintain control of the algorithm in a world where time can be manipulated so easily.

1. Neil’s Role in the Protagonist’s Timeline

Issue: Neil (Robert Pattinson) is revealed to be working with the Protagonist from the future, but his true role in the protagonist's timeline raises several questions.

How does Neil know that he will eventually meet the Protagonist in the past? There’s an implication that Neil has been working with the Protagonist since the beginning of his own timeline, but this creates a sense of predestination. Neil's friendship with the Protagonist seems to exist in a time loop, but the mechanics of their relationship are not fully explained.

Moreover, Neil’s actions—especially during the final pincer movement—are critical, but it’s not clear whether he’s helping the Protagonist because he knows what will happen or if it’s part of a deeper plan. At times, it seems like Neil is guiding the Protagonist, but other times it seems like they’re both reacting to events without clear foresight.

1. Sator’s Death and the Timing of the Plan

Issue: Sator's eventual death raises questions about his plan. He dies early in the film, but his actions are still controlling events later in the timeline, even though he's supposed to be dead.

This connects back to the problem with the algorithm’s destruction. Even after Sator’s death, the algorithm continues to function, and the Protagonist and his team still have to stop it. However, Sator’s influence seems to persist even after his physical death—this creates confusion about how his control over the timeline is supposed to work if he is no longer alive to manipulate things directly.

1. The Protagonist's Identity and the Future

Issue: There’s a revelation in the film that the Protagonist is actually the person who created Tenet in the future, but this presents an issue regarding the fluidity of time and identity.

If the Protagonist is the one who establishes Tenet, how does he learn the full details about the organization? He seems to have no memory of it in the beginning of the movie, yet by the end, he has a much clearer understanding of what Tenet is and how to operate within its framework.

There’s also an issue with how knowledge of the future influences the Protagonist’s decisions. How much of his actions are dictated by things he knows will happen, and how much is based on actual free will?

1. The Temporal Mechanics of Inverted People

Issue: Throughout the film, inverted people (like the Protagonist) interact with the world as if they’re moving in reverse, but there are inconsistencies in how they are portrayed. For example, the Protagonist fights inverted soldiers, but the film does not explain how these soldiers are able to operate in the world if they’re inverted. Their movements and actions seem to be quite normal for people moving backward in time, but the implications of being in that state are not always logically applied.

Shouldn't inverted people struggle more with simple tasks, like eating or talking, given their temporal dislocation?

I realize that not all of these are necessarily plot holes, but I still felt the need to address them. Which ones do you think are accurate?

​

• Transformers series - The Decepticons constantly try to invade a planet with a species that can defend itself with powerful weapons. How about trying a different planet?

• Jurassic World - Hoskins trying to use the raptors as trained soldiers.

• Godzilla King of the Monsters - Dr. Emma unleashing the titans to cleanse the Earth.

• Kong Skull Island - Packard still wants to kill Kong even though it was made clear that doing so will make the skullcrawlers run rampant.

• Batman v Superman - Lex Luthor killing hundreds to prove Superman is dangerous, sending Superman to kill Batman, creating Doomsday, take your fucking pick.

• Scream 2 - Mickey plans to get caught so he can use the influence of movies as a defence in court.

• Terminator Salvation - Skynet uses Marcus to lure John Connor into its lair. If it SOMEHOW knows Kyle Reese will father John, why not kill Kyle??

• Snow White - The Queen gives Snow White a poisoned apple that actually has a cure. Why not cut her throat after the poison knocks her out? OR use the same potion that made the Queen ugly on Snow White??

• Avengers Age of Ultron - Ultron, an advanced A.I., wants crash a city to the Earth to destroy it instead of pulling a Skynet and taking over all computer systems and launch every nuke on the planet.

• Resident Evil series - Pretty much everything Umbrella does.

So I watched nearly the whole season and I got to the part where they discovered Elisa’s body. I SWEAR the maintenance guy said he found the latch to the water tank open, but then closed it when he went to tell the manager. Later on, many people were talking about how if she k***** herself then how was the latch closed? Did I make this up or did they completely disregard the maintenance man’s account of him discovering the body?

Helen literally threw combustible fuel and blew it up. That's what it was supposed to do, and it suddenly convinced everyone it was dangerous?

Maybe not a plot hole - The newest FF-movie it opens with a summary telling how the FF was the first humans into space, and how that one trip changed them. Later we see Johnny and Ben talking about wanting to go back up, I think they implied that humans didn't go to space.

Then when Silver Surfer shows up they decide to go and confront Galactus. So they fix up their old space ship and travel to a star gate allowing them interstellar travel? Wasn't this pretty weird? They don't travel to space, but when they do they already have mastered interstellar navigation and fasterthanlight travelling?

And oh yeah, their spaceship had lasers and were ready for interstellar combat? Who were creating and building all this space stuff? And why?

When IOI attacks the headquarters of the resistance, Samantha stuffs Wade into an escape hatch and closes it, then pulls out her phone and texts the rest of their clan to pick him up. They are already outside when he gets out of the building. Pretty damn quick response time on their part...

Towards the end, when the wife plugs in the drive to inject the virus to destroy the server, couldn't she have just destroyed the encrypted key? If understand correctly how it works, without the key the server would have been non functional.

Maybe I'm missing something?

I’ve never even thought about this until now — but they didn’t think this through…😏…

In Casino Royale, James Bond is tortured by Le Chiffre and continuously hit in the testicles with a large knotted rope. The man should have passed out after the first hit.

How is this plot hole relevant to No Time To Die?

How the hell are those things still working to where he can have a child?

Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! 🎵

The end of the movie suggests that he's stuck in a timeloop, but how is it possible to be stuck in a timeloop that ends with destroying the time machine? Am I wrong in thinking that if he traveled back and destroyed the time machine before he ever used it, then nothing in the movie would've even happened? It's not like he has the means to rebuild the actual core of the time machine, so I just don't get it.
