Key Plot Holes in Various Movies

Here is a summary of the confusing or illogical plot elements discussed in several popular films:

Alien: Covenant

• Main Plot Twist: At the end, it is revealed that David switches places with his synthetic brother, Walter, to deceive the surviving crew.
• Inconsistencies:
  • Walter, having self-healing technology, should have been able to regenerate his dismembered hand, which wasn't addressed.
  • The crew lands on an uncharted planet without taking precautionary health measures, like wearing helmets to protect from unknown ecosystem hazards such as "death spores."
• Character Actions: Characters in the movie make unbelievable decisions, such as approaching danger despite obvious risks.

Godzilla vs Kong

• Human Subplot: The ease with which the characters track down a conspiracy theorist, Bernie, using minimal clues, undermines the threat posed to him by a powerful corporation.
• Kong Transport:
  • The crew transporting Kong worried about Godzilla's attack at sea but had the option of airlifting him, mirroring the Lord of the Rings' eagle plot hole.

Mortal Kombat

• Logical Flaws in Plan: Shang Tsung's complex cheating strategy raises doubts about its necessity given past successes in cheating tournaments.
• Gathering Champions: Liu Kang's failure to proactively gather champions contradicts his responsibility and shows inconsistency in his actions.
• Training Defectors: Training someone like Kano, who may betray Earth Realm, poses a risk to the balance of forces.
• Sonia's Role: Her involvement in the conflict without having a mark contradicts established rules.
• Arcana Mechanics: The unpredictable nature of arcana discovery and its ties to personal marking lack clear logic, causing confusion about its significance and activation.

Fast & Furious Franchise

• Character Skill Expansion: Tez's transformation from a mechanic to a multi-talented mastermind is inadequately explained, raising questions about the plausibility of his skillset growth.
• Shaw's Forgiveness: Dominic's trust and subsequent acceptance of the Shaw brothers, despite their severe betrayals, is highly implausible.
• Brian's Career Path: Brian's rise from criminal to FBI agent is inconsistent, given his repeated betrayal of the law.
• Car Hacking Scene: The concept of taking over New York City's vehicles via zero-day exploits is technically dubious.
• Timeline Inconsistencies: The evidence of timeline discrepancies regarding Elena's pregnancy points to glaring plot holes.

Signs

• Alien Weakness: Water being fatal to aliens, despite Earth's water-rich atmosphere and climate, is illogical and an obvious weakness for a spacefaring civilization.

Jurassic Park: The Lost World

• Ship Mystery: Unexplained crew deaths on a ship carrying a T-Rex suggest a missing explanation, where a velociraptor theory is more plausible, yet unaddressed.

The Hangover

• Doug's Isolation: Doug's unnoticeable presence on a high-security hotel roof for 48 hours raises questions regarding the casino's security protocols.

Interstellar

• Crop Technology: The ability to artificially grow crops on other planets, but not Earth, is an oversight that the novelization attempts to address.

Gremlins

• Snow Interaction: Gremlins don't multiply when exposed to snow, despite it being frozen water, contradicting the film's own established logic.

Us

• Underground Operation: The unexplained acquisition of red jumpsuits and gold scissors for the underground rebellion is a noteworthy narrative gap.

These points summarize the primary plot inconsistencies found in each discussed film, highlighting the logical gaps that challenge the audience's suspension of disbelief.
