20 Super Annoying Movie Clichés That Prove Movies Won't Stop Defying Laws, Logic, And Physics
Seen a weapon with an infinite number of bullets? That's like next-level trolling.
Movies are a great source of entertainment, granted, but they're also a great source of stupidity. The number of times movies have crossed all boundaries of law and physics is just insane!
We've seen so many movies in our lives that often people take what they see as the truth. Mistakes, flaws, and impossible stunts in movies are embraced, even when they question physics and laws.
So what if a hero's gun has an infinite number of bullets? So what if John Wick wastes so much ammo?
You know, if producers followed the laws of physics and common sense, the movie would be boring, bland, and short. But isn't that better than the impossible stew we're served at theaters, no?
Probably not. We love our movies the way they are, but we would appreciate it if they were sprinkled with a little common sense and physics, and you'll know why very soon.
You'd think that movies would learn to adapt and stop making the same mistakes that have caused people to question their purpose. But nope.
Let me ask you a question. If a hero is surrounded by a mob of gangsters, would the gangsters:
- Attack the hero as a group, as they'd have a better chance of winning the fight, or
- Wait their turn and attack the hero one by one?
Common sense says they attack as a group, but not in movies. In movies, gangsters attack the hero one at a time, thereby stretching the movie like a piece of chewing gum.
Do you agree? Here's more you need to see.
Triologies... and stuff.
That EVERY sh*tty movie nowadays is set up as the first part of a possible trilogy, making it non-committal and vague as a result.Smeggfaffa
At least make us believe.
They hold supposedly full coffee cups like they are empty, always holding them at a tilt. I know they are just stage props, but they can at least act like there is coffee in their cups.SifuMushi

Backstory in a nutshell...
When they use dialogue to cram years of backstory into the first 3 minutes of the film.‘But honey, you can’t do that since your father was an ex-astronaut who died on a mission, and now your poor grief-stricken mother has early-onset Alzheimer’s, and you are struggling financially, and our kids both need braces, and our car is being repossessed, and we now have to move to a small apartment because you lost your job at the tuna canning factory that your brother got you just before he died in 9/11.OldKeziah

Male lead and female lead with no chemistry end up together ‘just because’.BotheredCroissant

When this happens.
When a character doesn’t immediately explain what happened to stop the conflict.

Forced relationships.
In rom-coms, the two love interests are usually bad for each other.So, to make them seem less bad for each other, when they go through that period where they break up and try dating other people, the other people are the weirdest, most unlovable freaks anyone has ever laid eyes on.Men are instantly abusive, and women behave like spoiled children.Tidus790
I'm not dead.

FBI vs. Cops
When the FBI shows up to ‘take over’ the case, and then the cops butt heads with them. This does not happen.Cops are more than happy to let someone else do their work for them.GunMetalGazm
Random noises.
The ‘ominous noise’ that everyone uses when something bad is about to happen. So tired.oldfashioned_robot

Have long conversations while driving a car, and the driver takes their eyes off the road for pretty much the entire time.iyamwhatiyamwhatiyam
In Summary...
What's the worst thing about movies that you don't like? I know I've mentioned it above, but I'll repeat that I absolutely find splitting up totally annoying.
Why would you split up? This happens more in horror movies when splitting up is definitely not a good idea.
But do movies learn? Nope.
Oh well... I guess we've got to live with it.
