People Discuss the Movie Plot Holes That Bother Them the Most

One of the bad parts of learning about writing and story structure, whether through formal education in the subject, self-research, or just ingesting and paying attention to a ton of stories, is that you start to see the holes everywhere.

Truth be told, it’s hard to tell an entertaining story without weaving in nonsense some step of the way. But some of these bits stand out more than others…

What movie plothole still bothers you to this day? from AskReddit

Here are some movies that, according to the film scholars at Reddit, unforgettably messed up.

1. Limitless (2011)

Limitless.

You’re telling me, that essentially the smartest person in the world. That took a 50k loan from some mafia, and then turned that into millions, in like a few days through some crazy investing scheme. Was unable to have the foresight, to pay back the loan shark on time.

It was explained in the movie, “He was just too focused on making money, and he forgot.”

Yeah, okay. The dude remembering a random book he glanced at 20 years ago, simply forgot to pay a loan he took out a few weeks ago.

– anooblol

2. Bigfoot Family (2020)

Just watched the Bigfoot cartoon movie on Netflix.

The kid says he inherited the ability to run very fast and talk to animals due to being Bigfoot’s son.

However, Bigfoot was originally a human scientist that was changed into Bigfoot after a science experiment went wrong.

His kid was already born when this happened… so no way did he inherit powers.

Bothered me more than it should for a kids movie.

– Pharm-Poet

3. Back to the Future Part II (1989)

Back to the Future II is one of my all time favorite movies but the entire plot doesn’t make sense.

Why would they need to go into the future to prevent Marty Jr. from doing the horrible thing he does?

When they go back to their present it’s going to undo it anyway.

Why wouldn’t they just wait and then try to prevent him from doing it when the time comes?

– ChimpBzkit

4. The Polar Express (2004)

In Polar Express, the kid who almost misses the train never gets gifts from “Santa” for Christmas presumably because his parents can’t afford presents, meaning either

A. Santa isn’t real or

B. Santa hates poor people?

But at the end of the movie the main kid gets the bell from Santa directly so canonically Santa said f*ck that kid in particular I guess.

This has haunted me for decades.

– olivedream

5. Batman Begins (2005)

Ras Al Ghul standing next to a microwave emitter, explaining it turns the water in pipes 100 feet away into steam, but apparently isn’t strong enough to turn the water in his body into steam when he’s standing 10 inches away.

– Aksius14

6. The Purge (2013)

The purge always annoys me because you can literally just leave the country or do fraud to get richer, but instead people just turn into serial killers!

– Throwawayam10

7. Ant Man (2015)

In Ant Man, they claim that mass stays the same, and only the distance between atoms changes, yet he is quite obviously much lighter when smaller

And he wouldn’t be able to throw punches when that small, he wouldn’t have enough leverage to do so, his muscles would be to small, and even if he could exert enough force to throw them back like with a normal punch, his tiny little hands would just punch through their flesh like stabbing someone with a pencil

– Willis644

8. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

At the beginning of the third Harry Potter movie it shows him practicing “lumos”.

Is he or is he not doing magic outside of school which is expressly banned?!? And mentioned time and time again?

(I never got around to reading the books)

– Rozlun_The_Monster

9. Saw (2004)

At the end of Saw, Cary Elwes’ character tries desperately to grab the ringing mobile phone which is only centimetres out of reach.

When he realises he can’t, he takes of his shirt to use as a tourniquet to cut off his foot, instead of using his shirt to reach the godd*m phone.

– CheezyMcWang

10. Reservoir Dogs (1992)

It’s always kind of bothered me that Mr Blonde, a very loyal soldier to Joe and Nice Guy Eddie. Who actually did significant jail time for them and didn’t rat just completely loses his sh*t during the diamond heist and the aftermath.

– Rik78

11. Suicide Squad (2016)

In the Suicide Squad movies, the whole premise is that they need to have leverage over a team of super-folk to counter Superman (or a villain with similar powers) should he ever go bad.

So they put together a team of people who would be 100% helpless against Superman.

A guy who is really good with guns, which can’t harm Supes. A guy who can do fire stuff, which also can’t do anything. Throw in a guy who can get lizard skin and a guy who is good at throwing things. Oh, and a girl in booty shorts whose power is… being unstable? I’m not even sure.

And to top it all off, the team’s ultimate mission is to deliver an explosive… It’s almost like the US has the most well equipped and trained military in the world and their primary function is precision delivery of explosives.

– Phacemelter

12. Mean Girls (2004)

Mean Girls: How and why did Janis never receive any of the blame for what went down at North Shore? Cady wound up with all the heat, and while Cady does resolve to stop talking about people behind their backs… the whole d*mn “infiltrate and destroy the Plastics” thing was Janis’s idea! She confesses to it at the godd*mn workshop they hold in the gymnasium (showing no remorse), and everyone cheers for her, but Cady gets shunned? Because she was friends with the girls who wrote the Burn Book?

It just seems so backwards.

Plus, Karen was one of the nicest girls in the movie, and Damien and Janis rip on her for being so dumb. But it’s okay when they do it?

Just seems like they get away with sh*t they condemn others for, because they’re the outcasts in school.

– SimCityCrackhouse

13. The Nightmare Before Christmas (

In The Nightmare Before Christmas, in the song “What’s This”, Jack says “there’s white things in the air” meaning he doesn’t know what snow is, but then like five lines later, he says “there’s children throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads” meaning he DOES know what snow is

– Masterhearts_XIII

14. Super 8 (2011)

Super 8.

A beat up old pickup truck across the train tracks derails the train going full speed in a straight line with like 10 fully loaded train cars.

The truck barely even moves.

– areyouamish

15. By all accounts it doesn’t make sense…

How did Yzma and Kronk get back to the palace first?

– MooKids

At least the Emperor’s New Groove had the decency to lampshade it.

What other plot holes stick out to you?

A Man’s Simple Quest for a Milkshake Got Weird Fast

We’ve all been on late night adventures to grab a snack. It can be a really fun diversion. It can also open up strange, unseen worlds known not to the day-dwellers among us.

But whatever story from your own life you’re now thinking of, I guarantee you it pales in comparison to that of Twitter user Josh Raby, who spelled out his own milkshake misadventure in exquisite, bizarre detail.

Chapter 1: I Am Begging Your Patience

When a midnight craving starts more than you bargained for.

Chapter 2: You Can Have It

Already, he’s not lovin’ it.

Chapter 3: My Desired Milkshake

At this point, nobody really remembers how to communicate.

Chapter 4: I Will Be Very Slow

Dude, I don’t need a milkshake THAT bad.

Chapter 5: A Deep Exhale

Oh. Maybe this isn’t such a funny story.

Chapter 6: An Apple Pie

Let them eat pie, I guess.

Chapter 7: A Weird Series of Beeps

Wait. WHAT?

Chapter 8: I Do Not Want

Quit playin with me, man.

Chapter 9: I Just Want to Go

This is too much.

Chapter 10: No Problem

You’re a part of the relationship now, friend.

Chapter 11: He Has His Thumb Out

So these two are, like, DEFINITELY high right?

Chapter 12: FINE

Why did you think you could just get away with that?

Chapter 13: 37 Minutes

Is this your anniversary or something?

Chapter 14: A Whole Separate Human

Spare a thought for those left behind.

I am agog. I am aghast. I may never seek another late night treat again.

What’s your weird late-night-out story?

An Artist Took Special Revenge on a Cheapskate “Time Waster”

Ever since eBay and Craigslist revolutionized person-to-person online sales, the internet has been a rather valuable tool for those with something to sell in a hurry.

But there are downsides, too. Connecting with strangers on the internet can be perilous regardless of your activity, it can be a downright nightmare when you get money involved.

But Reddit user and artist Ryan_is_my_real_name (who, we presume, is a guy named Ryan) found a way to turn the tables on that nightmare and exact careful vengeance on someone who seemed bent on disrespecting the marketplace.

And by careful, we mean careful. Meticulous. Patient. Literally calculated.

It’s the kind of story that truly belongs in r/ProRevenge.

Chapter 1: The Auction

Don’t mess with artists, man.

Chapter 2: The Time Waster

Whatever you do, don’t be this guy.

Chapter 3: One Year Later

Whatever became of our beloved Time Waster?

Chapter 4: Sweet Revenge

The care that goes into this is what’s really impressive.

Chapter 5: The Car

This guy is going places.

Chapter 6: Annoying, Isn’t It?

What a hilarious nightmare this is.

What’s the moral of the story?

Just don’t bid on things you have no intention of buying. Literally nobody benefits from that. There are far better and less harmful ways to cure your boredom.

Have you ever taken “pro revenge” on someone?

Tell us the sordid tale in the comments.

A Patient Pulled an Ingenious Trick to Get a Quick Appointment

There’s a meme out there that one of the worst parts of “adulting” is making appointments for yourself. I mean, who wants to like, speak to a person and schedule a responsibility?

What’s worse is when the places we’re trying to go seem to have policies designed specifically to keep you from easily doing so.

Which is weird. Like, don’t you all want my money? Work with me here.

Luckily, there are ways around this sort of thing. They require a little cleverness and a lot of nerve, but they can be pulled off in style, like Tumblr user hotmolasses explains.

Step 1: Try to Walk-In

You think we’re gonna let just anybody in here? Think again.

Step 2: Make the Call

The fact that they didn’t even bother walking out of the lobby first just kills me.

Step 3: Make an Appointment

How can you miss that this is happening right in front of you? Don’t you hear the echo?

Step 4: Confirm

The fact that she was mad about it is the icing on the cake.

Step 5: Satisfaction

Now share the story far and wide.

You don’t have to be a full-blown Karen to get your way as a customer. Just apply a little wit and flair, and you’ll be well on your way to checking that errand off your to-do list.

What’s a strange loophole you’ve used before?

This Guy Used a Weird “DIY” Lifehack to Outsmart a Mechanic

It’s pretty much a meme at this point that any time you think you’re doing OK in life or you finally have some money saved, that’s when car problems strike and ruin absolutely everything. It’s a huge problem for me, a mechanically inept person.

My grandfather knows absolutely everything about cars, my dad knows some things, I know nothing. Following this pattern I assume my future son will not even understand what a car is.

Mechanical issues are of course exacerbated by unscrupulous mechanics who know that you can’t fix the problem on your own and will come up with all sorts of ways to trap you into paying way too much for a process that’s actually pretty simple. I need a new headlight installed. How long does that take? 10 minutes? 4 hours? I have no idea. I’m at the mercy of the guy quoting me a price.

Unless, of course, I come up with an ingenious plan, like this Tumblr user did.

Step 1: Identify the Problem

Nothing like a little bit of price gouging to start off a good story.

Step 2: Shop Around

Hey man, I’m just trying to play my part here.

Step 3: Find an Alternative Route

If you wanna play, we can play.

Step 4: Do It Yourself

When your own incompetence is secretly your greatest weapon.

Step 5: Revel in the Satisfaction

Holy, indeed.

So there ya have it. A life hack for those of us who are mechanically challenged. Go forth, and save some dough.

What weird loophole have you used to save money?

Here’s How to Skip Those Pesky Cancellation Fees

Reception desk jobs are kind of weird.

You’re there to be a pleasant presence to help folks navigate whatever is on offer, but you also have to be a sort of busy bureaucrat, enforcing rules with a smile on your face and confusing or enraging customers/clients in the process through no fault of your own.

Which is all to say, I don’t envy the folks who have to hold those jobs, but I also don’t envy me when I find myself caught up in conversations with them over some very unfair nonsense. Luckily, for anyone willing to look hard enough, there’s usually some loophole to be exploited that doesn’t just involve screaming to get your way.

You can be polite AND skirt the rules, as this story by Reddit user Stellapotamus demonstrates.

Step 1: Try to Cancel

When you notice something about the notice.

Step 2: Just Reschedule

Put it whenever you want, I’m not coming anyway.

Step 3: Turn the Tables

Is this really the first time someone tried this?

Bonus: Internet Edition

Pretty much anything that can be done to stick it to Comcast is worthwhile.

As they say…

I need this embroidered on a pillow.

So there ya have it. Need to stop something but don’t wanna pay for the privilege? Get on board with his particular brand of “cancel” culture.

What’s a weird loophole you’ve exploited to save money?

Share your tips in the comments.

Thanks, fam!

Two Gay Texans Connect Over Their Moms’ Obsessions with Crucifixes

This is not news, but Texas has a lot of Christian people in it. In fact, around 75% of the people in that state identify as such. Texas has a population of around 29 million, so that’s close to 22 million adherents in the friendly state (that’s the slogan they gave themselves, “The Friendly State,” which sounds nice, I guess? If not vaguely threatening?)

Suffice it to say, being a Christian in Texas is like being a deer in the woods. Nobody’s gonna be surprised or confused to see you there. Which is what made this post by Tumblr user indiedrone so funny, and the story that it set off so priceless.

1. The big reveal

Gesturing deadpan to a wall containing no fewer than 20 decorative crucifixes, indiedrone writes:

2. Soul mates

Not to be outdone, a fellow Texan who goes by the screen name fullblownpanic uploaded a picture presenting a wall of at least 25 crosses.

3. A match made in Heaven?

What are the odds that these two would see each other here, and have such perfectly matching images to contribute? Some speculated it might be a sign. But then, a twist…

4. Happy ending

It turns out, they weren’t just playing. They both really were gay youths living in Texas with very religious moms who had quite similar taste in decor. They got to talking, became friends, and eventually met up at a Pride festival in Houston!

The internet is quite a strange place. It can bring together people who live worlds apart, or help two kids who are practically neighbors find each other. You never know who you might cross paths with on Tumblr.

…I’m sorry, I’ll show myself out.

A Woman Unexpectedly Falls in Love When Her Pet Shrimp are in Peril

We all love our pets. But most of that love is directed at the bigger, fuzzier kind of companion that will show us affection, or in the case of cats, tolerance. But have you ever formed a bond with a pet a little smaller?

When I was a kid I had hermit crabs. “Hermit” is literally in the name. These creatures live to hide in their shell, and if you do actually touch them, they will pinch you. Nothing could be further from a good pet. And yet, they’re a popular choice. And I loved mine till the day they died. RIP, embarrassingly-named-pet-crabs.

But this story is some next level unexpected pet love. A teacher who goes by @thebugchicks on Twitter shares a tale of freshwater shrimp, and near disaster. Read on.

They are strangely cute. Maybe it’s those big ol’ eyes?

I don’t know if freshwater shrimp literally have the capacity to care how big their house is, but, if they do, she’s cognizant of that need.

These two are clearly in very good hands.

Trips to the pet store are often dangerous for me, as well.

At this point in the story, I’m feeling a little bit bad that the last time I impulse bought shrimp was at a Red Lobster.

Despite what the internet may imply, it’s OK to not have strong feelings about absolutely everything.

Here’s where the story ramps up.

I can hear the tense string soundtrack in the back of my mind.

Dun dun DUUUN!

It’s never until we face the possibility of losing everything that we realize what we truly have.

Eat your heart out, Speilberg.

Just a second, adding the word “manpanion” to my lexicon forever.

Maybe this is exactly why he fell in love with you?

*munches popcorn with wide-eyes*

The DOG is the antagonist of this story? But he looks like such a good boy! I don’t know if I can deal with this new twist.

All moments of panic need a factoid or two to settle the mood.

Success!

I’m not crying about some lady’s shrimp. Nope. Not me.

Marty & Sal have no idea how good they’ve got it.

We should probably all be tracking our emotions a little more closely these days.

And that is the tale of crustacean-fascination-turned-infatuation that took the internet by moderate storm. You’re welcome.

What’s the pet you’ve bonded with the most?

Fascinating Tweets About Some Awful Dates

Raise your hand if you think dating is a really good time. I can’t actually see any of you, of course, but I’m going to go ahead and assume there no hands in the air right now. Dating is generally thought of a necessary evil, the sort of thing you hope turns out well but might be awful. The only upside to the awful is that it can result in a lot of great stories.

Twitter user @millercycle posed the following prompt to the internet at large:

There were hundreds of replies, and most of them were fascinating, cringy gold. Enjoy this selection of examples.

14. Moving on

Please don’t use a date as a therapy session.

13. Prison and a movie

This is the grossest show and tell I’ve ever heard of.

12. Insult to injury

This is called “negging” and it’s a pickup artist technique employed by douchebags. Never be this guy.

11. A taxing experience

I have so many followup questions for this one.

10. Extortion

Boy oh boy can money make people terrible.

9. Candid camera

Look, no kink-shaming but you need CONSENT from EVERYBODY.

8. The young and the restless

This is…concerning.

7. Literally Hitler

How is this even possible?

6. Drugs not hugs

Everybody knows you don’t do this ’till the third date.

5. B I T E

I really REALLY need to hear your worst story now.

4. Nec-romance

Weirdest. 3 way. Ever.

3. Distance

Welp. She’s a free spirit, we can give her that.

2. Stranded

As someone who recently visited Detroit, this is a fate worse than death.

1. Pickpocket

Welp. Run, I guess?

These stories are truly helping me feel better about the fact that I haven’t had a date in a while. I think I’ll just revisit them every time I need that boost. Thanks for validating my loneliness yet again, internet!

What was your worst date?
