Biggest Plothole?

[Assassin Xaero]

Between TCoR: Dark Athena and Pitch Black... I could see how Butcher Bay could have tied into it, but with the way Dark Athena ended, I'm confused as hell on how it is supposed to lead into Pitch Black...

 

[Chrinik]

Biggest Plothole? How Master Chief got his new armor in Halo3 by falling from the Forerunner ship...
How the covenant found the Earth.

Oh Movies?


Uhhhm...can´t think of one right now<.<

 

[Koeryn]

i got one. In equilibrium they screwed up a "Flashback" where Christian Bales Character switches the guns. Instead they play a completely different one that didn't constitute the switch.

That was the black guy's flashback, not someone Bale's.

 

[Koeryn]

In Starship Troopers, when the grunts are in training their guns shoot awesome kick-butt lazers, but when the big bug battles happen later on in the movie, the same guns only shoot bullets. No-one ever turns their kick-ass lazers on, what's up with that?

Because they were training rifles with stun-fire, designed to look and feel like the rifle's they'd use in actual combat. Much like military and police forces today using airsoft/paintball guns to do combat training.

OT: Oh a movie? hmm...maybe Cloverfield . WTF is this "monster"?

I don't think that qualifies as a legitimate plot hole. The movie is quite aware of the fact that it never just tells you the origin. Though there are some subtler clues hidden in various parts of the movie, and in various parts of the viral ad campaign that accompanied it.

Spoiler

Point is, the suggestion of all the clues is that a satelite which fell out of orbit (you can see it in the background of the final scene of the movie if you look really close) disturbed the cloverfield monster (which according to the writers was actually a baby) which had been living beneath the sea, frightening it into NYC where it went on the rampage that was the movie because it was scared. Though I suppose you could say that the lack of explination for how these giant monsters had been living beneath the sea and escaped our attention might qualify as a plot hole. Still, just because they aren't explicit about its origins doesn't make it a plot hole, it makes it a little more realistic to how such a situation might actually play out.

It's not so unsurprising that something that massive could live in our oceans without us knowing. We have practically no knowledge of what goes on in our darkest depths.

Resident Evil. If it wasn't for me not caring for the plot anymore I'd say that game has plot holes galore. Could someone please kill off Wesker. The man's is a nuisance.

 

[Cortheya]

Try the storyline of Red Faction: Guerrilla. You'll find enough plotholes

i'd kinda like to hear some specific plotholes

I didn't find plot holes so much as lack of plot for holes to be in...

 

[Vortex Traveller]

Final Destination 3, its a bad movie movie anyway but one big plot hole really bugged me. The rollercoaster crash at the start in the preminition is caused by a guy dropping his camara and the camara falling on the track in the middle of the ride, but after the preminition when people get of the ride, the guy with the camara that causes the crash gets off too with his camara and the rollercoaster still crashes, despite the fact that the camara could not have fallen on the track so there should have been no crash

 

[Sparrow]

Not to mention: WHY THE HELL does every vampire/demon/bad thing come to Sunnydale?

Because the Hellmouth is in Sunnydale.

Fine. But why stay there? Why not wander off and actually do something effectual?

Plus, these are supposed to be demons. Surely they have the ability to plan things out better than "Ok, so I jump out in this town and do random stuff til I get sent back to hell".

the same can be asked of any batman or spiderman villan. neither seem to leave their respective home town

...but, they do. Haven't you ever watched "Justice League"?

 

[Arsen]

Preventing the apocalypse in Terminator 2 would make it so John Connor does not exist.

 

[Treblaine]

It's by no means big, but I wish to point out a plot hole in the Star Wars Continuity (the only one, as far as I can tell):

So in The Force Unleased, Starkiller visited a fully operational Death Star during the emperor's inagural visit BEFORE the creation of the rebel alliance; above an unknown planet. Fair enough.

However, in the game Star Wars: Lethal alliance, the Twi'lek bounty hunter Ryanna Sarin visited a fully operational Death Star above an unnamed planet at the behest of Kyle Katarn, who was a member of the rebel alliance; however, he didn't join until five years AFTER the alliance's creation.

Thus, Paradox.

/nerd

Wait....that can easily be solved with simple solution....*thinks*.....................*thinks*.................................................................................................................*brain Explodes*

Well, you see... ummm...

The Galactic Empire was not the first ones to create a Death Star. They got the idea from the Trade Federation... Yeah, in Episode 3, I remember they were looking at a hologram of the Death Star...

So The Trade Federation probably already had an operational Death Star, which the Emperor had seenm before the creation of the Rebel Alliance. The Emperor having seen the Trade Federation's Death Star, decided to make an even bigger and more powerful Death Star.

Therefore, the Death Stars seen in Force Unleashed and Lethal Alliance were the Trade Federation Death Star. Not the Galactic Empire Death Star.

Yea, I'm happy with that answer...

designing and building a death star are two different things... Count Dooku got designs from the seperatists on Geonosia, but I doubt an actual Death Star had been constructed. Only designed.

Don't you realise it is entirely pointless discussing when this technological terror was constructed...

...the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

 

[Dentedgod]

Watch an episode of Buffy. So if Angel is ever happy, right, he turns evil. But he loves Buffy. So, he's happy when around her. The thing just says they can't have sex. Apparently sex is the only way to true happiness.

Not to mention: WHY THE HELL does every vampire/demon/bad thing come to Sunnydale? Why not try to take over/destroy/whatever the world from, say New York... or the middle of a desert?

Actually, they were pretty clear about that, it wasn't if he was just "happy". It was when he fell in love. So they were basically saying that you couldn't be in love without consummating the relationship (which I personally agree with if we're talking about romantic love).

Dragon Ball GT had a huge one, so big you could drive trains through it.

what is this plothole?

You want me to go into details? Ok bear with me. Ok the series kicks off with the introduction of the black-star dragon balls, which Pilof inadvertently uses to turn Goku back into a kid. Since these black-star balls have the nasty side effect of destroying the planet they were last used on if they're not reunited within a years time, Goku and Co. (Trunks and Pan) have to go gallivanting all over the Universe looking for them. Ok so that's the background info, now for the plothole. While on this journey to recollect the black-star dragon balls, Goku and Co. end up crossing paths with one Dr. Mew (I'm pretty sure I'm spelling that wrong, but I don't feel like looking up the correct spelling) who has his own designs for the dragon balls. The plothole is this, all evidence given seems to suggest that Dr. Mew's plans had been set in motion many many years prior to the series, what with the establishment of the Ludian religion and conquest of M2, which would have been impossible since the black-star balls had only scattered recently, as in less then a year prior to their meeting.

You forgot an even bigger plot hole; the Black Star Dragon Balls were created by the evil Piccolo Sr. after Kami split with him. However like the normal dragon balls they should have lost their power completely when Piccolo and Kami fused again. Quite simply the Black Star Dragon balls should never have existed to begin with.

No, the black-star dragon-balls were created by Kame before he and Piccolo Sr. were split. So they would've lost their power when Kame and Piccolo were split, and would've only reappeared after Kame and Piccole refused. So the real plot hole is why Kame was keeping seven ordinary stone balls in his lookout for 300+ years.

 

[Starke]

Spoiler

In the Star Trek movie, how come Nero didn't just blow up the star that would destroy Romulas, crisis averted and in the future he lives on with his wife and kid

I haven't seen that movie yet, but

Spoiler

Wouldn't destroying the star destory Romulus in the process?

Nope.

Spoiler

It's a "supernova" that's destroying multiple systems, so Spock goes to save the Romulan homeworld, but gets back too late to save it from the wake of this "supernova".

So either, it's the romulan star and they're all basically f---ed from the word go, or its another star system (which the film says explicitly) and then .

Fast and Furious : Tokyo Drift.

The main character knows only one word in Japanese, but he's still able to live in Tokyo and take classes in Japanese.

 

[Disaster Button]

Twilight.. just hear me out:

1) When Edward states his body doesn't have the normal processes of a human, digestion etc. Yet magically he is able to produce sperm to impregnate Bella.

2) When Vampireness is described as having an extra chromosone. As far as I know that results in genetic disease and disabilities. Not shiny skin.

 

[Roxilla84]

SPOILER: Only saying this particular one because I saw this movie yesterday and I'm still infuriated with the Hollywood technocrap plot device. Independence Day: A Mac (or any human-made computer, really) can sync and upload a virus onto an alien mothership?! WTF, it kills the computer geek in me. It's more retarded than War of the World's plot resolve. You think if aliens can travel the infinite complexities of space, that, I dunno, they'd be able to deal with viruses (organic & computer-based).

Ugh. The star blowing up actually causes the destruction of Romulus, so why would Nero wan't to be the cause of it himself? And I'm pretty sure it's hard to blow up a Sun cos you feel like it.
