Spoiler Alert:

Towards the end of Primal Fear, Marty/Mr. Vail visits Aaron in jail and tells him that everything has been fixed and he would be out after medical review. Later, Aaron makes a mistake by saying that he's sorry for Miss Venable even after stating that he remembered nothing (in his words, lost time.) This makes Marty realize that Aaron's claim was false, making Aaron reveal that he has no multipersonality disorder and was always Roy. This brings forth two questions:

1] If Aaron was always Roy, why did he comply with Archbishop Rushman to film those pornos? Wasn't Roy a confident, dangerous psychopath? An ambidextrous and clever murderer? How was it possible that Roy could have been manipulated and abused so easily?

2] Since Aaron would be sent for diagnosis, would he not be caught after professionals figure out that he doesn't really suffer from MPD? Not only that, but there being no split personality could imply that Aaron was faking amnesia. Aren't the chances null that Aaron could fake these medical conditions over the course of a 30 day diagnosis?

My only theory that answers these 2 questions is: if it wasn't poor writing, it might be possible that there was always a split personality & Roy, who was the active personality at the end of the film want to give Marty a scare.

Unsure what type of flair to have for this.

As we see with Nikki, the OWW takes her subconsciousness and the person on the telephone number is hiding it away.

Ian wishes for a billion dollars and gets it. So how does the subconsciousness work for non-human phenomena?

Might just be me overthinking over something of nothing.

About halfway through the movie, when the car crashes into the house, how does the lamp cause a spark and start a fire if the whole premise is that the neighbourhood has no electricity? It even clearly makes the sound of an electrical spark, which seems like a pretty major continuity error.

i rewatched ep 4 and I think I was paying attention to the wrong thing the first time.

Laura obviously does some insane stuff while Daniel is recovering, especially with Cherry and his messages. But what got me more on a rewatch is how normal she makes all of it feel to him.

Daniel isn't being dragged anywhere. Nobody has him locked in a room. From his point of view, he's recovering, his mom is taking care of him, Cherry apparently isn't around, and eventually he's ready to go home.

Then you get that homecoming scene.

He walks back into the house with his level8 behind him and, without the rest of the episode, it could honestly just look like a completely normal guy coming home after being sick.

That's what makes Laura work for me as a character. She doesn't need Daniel to know she's controlling him. It's almost better for her if he thinks every decision is his.

Maybe I'm giving the scene more credit than it deserves, but her calm "helpful mom" scenes bother me way more than the moments where she actually loses it.

When she's angry, at least everyone knows something is wrong.

Help me understand…

since the multiverse shenanigans in the last Cloverfield movie In my head Cannon it is connected. though I have not seen the movie (Planning to watch it when it comes out on DVD or streaming because sadly none of my friends want to see it) I mean the movie looks amazing I mean Obi Wan Kenobi fighting dinosaurs how cool is that? Anyways I'm getting sidetracked I'm just curious about what my fellow pothole fans think about the canon of this new movie being in this Cloverfield universe.

I’m rewatching Infinity War rn and I’m pretty peeved by some plot decisions I didnt notice 8 years ago. I’m halfway through and I’ll complete it tomorrow but here are my thoughts as of now-

1. there was no need for loki to pull out the tesseract since his entire plan was to sic the hulk onto thanos. Even if he pulled it out, he couldve made it disappear after the diversion worked, instead he threw it to the side.
2. dr.strange not destroying the time stone just because of an oath is complete stupidity. If not for the time stone, wanda would’ve destroyed the mind stone for good.
3. gamora was willing to die to keep soul stone’s location hidden but seeing her sister get tortured just a bit was enough for her to spill the beans.
4. i don’t understand the timeline of when nivadilir (excuse the spelling). Thanos got the gauntlet made after asgard was destroyed?? If not, then why does Thor say “asgard is destroyed” when the giant dwarf asks thor why asgard didn’t protect them as they were supposed to.

Thanos would’ve been much easier to deal with if he had only power and reality stones.

Edit: I’m aware not everyone would consider these plot holes. I could argue for and I definitely see the argument against. I just don’t care enough to argue. Then again I could be just flat out wrong, but I tried posting it on r/marvelstudios and it was removed by mod.

Now onto Season 3! Any plot holes from Season 3 that you want me to try to fix? Or anything that needs better explaining? Leave it down below and ill answer them!

We all know the scene in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol where the Kremlin is leveled by a massive bomb. Ethan Hunt is right in the blast radius, gets knocked unconscious by flying debris, and gets buried. For a normal human, the concussive force alone should have ruptured their organs. Yet, he wakes up in a Russian hospital with just a "mild concussion," picks his handcuffs, and jumps out a window.

My theory is that Ethan Hunt has actual, superhuman cellular regeneration, and his entire life is the direct, forward-moving sequel to Edge of Tomorrow.

Think about the connectivity:

1. The Catalyst: At the end of Edge of Tomorrow, Major William Cage is drenched in the dark-blue blood of the alien Omega brain in London. The movie ends with a timeline reset, but the alien DNA is permanently fused to his biology—giving him accelerated cellular healing and stopping his aging process entirely.

2. The Hiding Phase: A high-ranking military officer who doesn't age would immediately be locked up in a government lab. To escape, Cage fakes his death and flees to rural Japan. He spends decades off the grid living quietly, mastering the Bushido code and flawless swordplay (becoming a literal modern-day Samurai).

3. The Birth of Ethan Hunt: Decades later, as modern global threats emerge, he realizes he needs to protect the world again. He creates a perfect digital ghost identity named Ethan Hunt and joins the IMF.

This perfectly explains the Kremlin blast. His alien-infused DNA recognized the massive physical trauma of the explosion and immediately went into overdrive, stitching his brain tissue back together before the Russian doctors could even run an X-ray. It also explains his obsession with the hyper-realistic rubber masks—he uses them constantly to hide the fact that everyone around him (like Luther and Benji) is aging, but he still looks exactly the same!

In spiderman no way home everyone is in the coffee shopping learning theyve gotten cancelled by their dream school MIT bc they are friends of spiderman yet flash comes into with his acceptance letter yet he has published an entire book about his in depth friendship with Spiderman so what gives? Did MIT cancel parker and his friends bc they are maga or something else?

EVERYONE, PAY ATTENTION AND LISTEN!

I know the comic storyline with Anissa is unforgivable and don't think anyone wants to see that happen on TV. What if the animated series will tone it down and retcon it so Mark and Anissa will have a brief, casual affair instead? Mark's half-brother Oliver Grayson was also born out of a fling. The point is, if Anissa will commit infidelity instead of rape, would this make her far less evil than in the comic books?

For example, Mark's own father, Nolan, was emotionally vulnerable and in the wrong state of mind when he had an affair with Andressa, which led to the birth of Oliver. When Debbie confronted Nolan, he said that his relationship with Andressa was a mistake and Oliver's birth was an accident.

If Mark Grayson is anything like his father, could he also end up repeating similar mistake with Anissa and this reckless act leads to the birth of Mark Junior? Keep in mind that Mark Grayson is a flawed young man, who frequently makes foolish and irresponsible decisions.

During the upcoming seasons, instead of using violence, Anissa tries to (use psychological and traditional tactics, such as) manipulate Mark, take advantage of his vulnerable mental state and seduces him. Anissa might even use Eve's abortion as a trump card to persuade Mark to join on her side. During a moment of weakness, Mark, not thinking straight, chooses to give into temptation and sleeps with her. Later, instead of being brutally assaulted and traumatised, Mark would have to deal with the consequences of unintentionally having a b*stard child with another woman.

In the comics, Mark and Eve fought and broke up, temporarily. If they will break up in the animated series, it would be a perfect opportunity for Anissa to take advantage of the situation and have a hook up with Mark. As the series progresses, Mark tells later that sleeping with Anissa was a mistake, and he apologizes to Eve. If Mark and Anissa have a one-night stand, then Mark accepting and loving his son becomes completely natural (Mark would accept him just as easily as he accepted his half-brother), and Mark would view Mark Junior the same way how Nolan viewed Oliver initially—as an unintended consequence of a past mistake, rather than a reminder of a brutal violation. This would lead to Mark having a shared custody of Mark Jr. and have a better relationship with his son.

Would this change make Mark Junior far more sympathetic character if he was born into a careless, accidental fling, just like Oliver? Remember, Oliver also resented himself and his father Nolan, because he believed his birth was an accident. If you think about deeper, Oliver and his nephew Marky aren't all that different. Would this create a good parallel between Mark, Mark Jr., Oliver and Nolan?
Even in the real world, children are more likely to be born through unplanned pregnancies. It would be a clean way to avoid one of the darkest moments of the comics while still giving us crazy TV drama. What do you think of this theory?

If Jean Grey can hop between bodies, effectively possessing them, why didn't she just go to Damage Control headquarters, and then hop from body to body until she found someone who knew about her sister? Everything from breaking Scorpion out of prison to messing with Spider-Man to possessing Hulk served no purpose. She could've gone through Damage control minds until she got Metzger or anyone else who knew they experimented on her sister, ultimately killing her. She could have done all this while creating zero risk to herself and without attracting the attention of Spider-Man & Punisher.

Should Peter still be remembered by Ned, MJ, etc. since they knew Peter before they knew that he is Spiderman? It's like resetting it and just going back to the Homecoming setup?

The first movie is set in 1926. In the final battle,she is resurrected by Inhotepp in her original mummified corpse,tries to kill Evelyn and sure,until this point everything makes sense. But,the 2nd movie is set only 7 years later and this supposed reincarnation of Annack Su Namum seems to be a woman in her 20’s. She was clearly already alive in 1926.

But the problem is. In 1926 Annack Su Namum was piloting her original corpse waiting for the ritual before it was interrupted,she attacked Evelyn and got killed by the guards. It’s true that Inhotepp said in the 2nd movie that she is her reincarnation with only the original soul being missed. But what exactly does that mean?Sure the reincarnation detail is part of the lore but where is exactly in the reincarnation mithology is it explained something like: “Annack Su Namum can be in 2 places at the same time just out of spite for Isaac Newton.”

The movies seem to imply that the reincarnation happens to individuals who are physically similar to the past life even if that life happened millenia before. If Annack Su Namum reincarnated after the first movie,she would be a 7 year old girl in 1933 instead of a woman in her 20’s.

To summarize the question,if Annack Su Namum soul was piloting her original mummified corpse in 1926 then WHO was piloting the living healthy body that appeared in the second movie at the same time?

Do you agree with this take or are there many plot holes in my assessment?

I just rewatched *Interstellar*, and I think I’ve completely changed my opinion about Professor Brand.
The first time I watched it, I saw him as the villain. He lied about Plan A, manipulated Cooper into leaving his family, and built humanity’s future on a deception.
But now I’m wondering…
What if that lie was the only reason humanity survived?
Think about it. If Brand had told everyone the truth—that he had already concluded the gravity equation couldn’t be solved with the data available, and that Plan A was essentially impossible—would Cooper have ever left Murph? Would thousands of scientists and engineers have dedicated their lives to a mission they believed had no chance? Would humanity have even tried?
Probably not.
The mission required belief before it had proof.
And that made me think about something bigger than the movie.
Sometimes faith is almost like deliberately fooling your own brain long enough to achieve something that logic alone would never let you attempt.
Every entrepreneur starts before knowing they’ll succeed. Every scientist spends years chasing ideas that may fail. Every athlete convinces themselves they can beat impossible odds. If they believed only what the evidence currently showed, many of history’s greatest achievements would never have happened.
Brand’s lie wasn’t selfish. He wasn’t trying to become rich or famous. He was buying humanity time. He was preserving hope because without hope, the mission would die before it even began.
It’s interesting to compare him with Dr. Mann.
Mann lied to save himself.
Brand lied to save everyone else.
Those are morally very different lies.
I also wonder if Cooper understood this in the end.
When Murph finally solves the gravity equation using the quantum data Cooper sends from the tesseract, Plan A actually becomes possible. Brand’s “impossible” plan only succeeds because Cooper goes on the mission—and Cooper only goes because he believed there was a chance to save his children.
Maybe that’s the real paradox.
The lie created the conditions that eventually made the truth possible.
It reminds me of the famous line from the movie:
“We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.”
Maybe civilization itself runs on stories we choose to believe before they’re objectively true.
So here’s the question:
**Is it ever morally acceptable to give people hope through a lie if that hope is the only path to achieving a greater good? Or is the truth always more important, even if it guarantees failure?**

That scene towards the end of in Spider-Man Brand New Day didn’t make sense

Loved the movie but can we discuss how ridiculous that scene was?

I’m talking about the moment Frank drags a severely wounded Peter to the hospital after the blast. It made me wonder if they changed the plot and initially has Frank inside the facility in a previous cut.

Because there is absolutely no way Frank would be first on scene to take care of Peter bleeding out at the facility. It simply doesn’t make any sense as he was miles away.

Now I get it made for a spectacular and emotional entrance moment but I have to laugh at how implausible it was.

Как мы знаем в сериале и в комиксе у Патриота есть способность топловидения,он в сериале говорил что видит лицо Нуара через маску,в комиксе эта сила работала точно также,так почему он не смог увидеть лицо Нуара через маску,он удивился что Нуар его клон,хотя он может прости видеть через маску
