    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.

    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!”

    Pffft got a pen?

    Series:

    Sons of anarchy

    Heroes

    13 reasons why

    Terra nova

    The 100

    Mr. & Mrs Smith

    -> pretty much almost every series I’ve watched

    Movies:

    All transformers

    Almost all FFurious

    Definitely all jack sparrows

    Even the orig Mr. & Mrs Smith

    -> the more I think, the more the list grows

    Movies are all about those few moments that throw characters off the “right way,” spinning up bunch of placebos with consequences and how characters emerge through all those stronger.

    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.
