10 Infamous Movie Plot-Holes (Solved By Film-Makers)

Time travel, shifting origins, rule breakers, and a big door...

[ThatSoddingGamer]

With Titanic, as much as James Cameron has a reputation for being a massive a-hole perfectionist, you do have to take into account reasonable expectations. Just because something is technically possible doesn't mean it's plausible, let alone reasonable. They _could_ have made it work, but it would have required a degree of foreknowledge, critical (and quick) thinking skills, and time. Neither Jack or Rose probably knew much about the mechanics of buoyancy beyond 'certain shapes and materials can float and others sink', both were in a very life threatening situation (as evidenced by Jack freezing to death in a short period of time, and Rose barely surviving as it was), and they both had the dexterity and strength of toddlers by the time she was stable on the door. Also, even if it could increase buoyancy I wonder if they would still have been partially submerged. To say nothing of the extra time and additional exposure needed to make this hypothetical plan work could have doomed them both anyway.

I agree with James Cameron. It was never a plot hole. The film actually show Jack flipping the door as he tired to get on it and how on earth would a guy who had just survived a sinking ship and is now in freezing water think of anything other than "holy shit, shit, shit"

Monsters University - It's always encouraging when a filmmaker says "I don't care if this contradicts previous movies in the franchise, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want to do with the story."

The Bifrost - I just assumed that the Asgardians rebuilt it. After all, they were probably the ones who built it in the first place, so why couldn't they repair and rebuild it?

Honestly, I subscribe to the fan theory that George McFly DID know Marty "Calvin" was his son. As a big SciFi buff who writes stories himself, time travel is not a foreign idea to him, Marty constantly refers to him as "dad", starts following him around trying to get him together with Lorraine. Not to mention at the end when Marty starts to fade out, George is looking at him, turns around and gets the girl.

Not even going to get into the whole book title he writes.

People arguing about how Jack and Rose could have made it work, technically, have obviously never been submerged entirely in freezing water. I went in water that was probably around 10 degrees Celsius before, as part of a training, and it was really something. Jack and Rose fell into water that was around --2 degrees Celcius. The second you fall in the water, all your air goes out of your lungs, you immediately get disoriented, and your body goes into shock. Your body starts to shake violently, and when (if ever) you regain any form of composure, you only have a few minutes to do anything before you freeze to death. It's very silly to try and overrationalize something like this.

The monsters inc thing is kind of dumb he could have just had them know eachother going into college its a plot hole for literally no reason

Thank you so much for including the Looper one! Oh my god ive had hour long arguements over this!

[wheelsndealz]

Cipher inventing something is confusing for you? They say they need an operator because THEY need one. We needed operators in the beginning of telephone use until we didn't. He was working for the machines so he also might have gotten some sort of information only they knew about. I imagine the machines could kick someone out of the program if they wanted to.

It's not a plot hole in Back to the Future. Memory is very unreliable especially on a longer time line and they only knew him for 1 week. Do you remember everyone you interact with after 30 years?

[joenesvick]

According to Family Guy, George totally remembered Marty lol 🤪

[JoeyZHorror]

Think it makes more sense to say the “Been jealous since fourth grade” was just a weird expression in general rather than be an expression that monsters love to use

Jules mi brudda, have a wonderful day 🙏🏾💜☮️💓

[The-Joker]

Jules, your mom is the joke, the Titanic door was a debate. BIG DIFFERENCE. Then The Dorextor actually did do the test and he found out that both of them would survive. Go look at it properly. The director even though saw it was possible, refused to accept it. Thats because the director is pathetic.

[The-Joker]

Just sounds like A LOT of BS from film makers because they realised AFTER they made the movie that THEY Fd Up. So now excuses come.

Among numerous inconsistencies in Abrams/Kurtzman Trek, one more open question springs to mind.
When someone like Nero offends Klingons, why don't they execute him?
Why waste resources on his prison comforts for decades? Honor? Treaties?

[uroborous]

What bugged me the most about nero was that he was not a “thinking man” like all the rest of the romulans we had seen in tos thru voy.
Throughout those series the romulans were depicted as cold, calculating, mostly calm, yet always severe in their expressions, plans, plots, and goals.
What struck me to be most odd about him was that he did not immediately contact romulan high command to give them forewarning about the detonating star. If he had done so then the romulan empire and possibly romulus itself, could have been saved.

The simple and obvious explosion for monsters university's different origin is that Mike was exaggerating their relationship.
I constantly say I know my friend for hundreds of years.

The second more convoluted explination is, that in the monsters world the 4th grade is university.
Maybe first grade is grade school, second grade is middle school third grade is high school and 4th grade is university.
The monsters world has a tone of differences to our world, and their education system is way different. Why not have different names?
Hell some real world countries have completely different names and ways to number schools.

[StrydersCommunity]

The easy answer about Cypher in Matrix would be this: They need an operator mostly for executing the code of entering and leaving, but as a traitor having a deal with the "Agents", the agents can run the program from inside the Matrix for him.

Jack DID try to get on the door &, like they said, it began to topple over. Also, I'd imagine being in that frigid water that he wouldn't have the strength to try too many times.

*Plot hole for this video Jack and Rose weren’t trying to float on a door in titanic.*
