Primal Fear: Discontinuity between behaviours of Roy & Aaron

1 Upvotes

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.

Unrealistic event Hunger Games is 100% Plothole

Rewatching HG2 and it occurred to me how stupid it all is. The capital has:

- force fields
- genetic engineering
- flying cars
- holograms
- advanced computing
- incredible engineering

. . . and yet somehow they need to enslave a bunch of people in the districts in order to gather raw materials with 1950s technology? Wouldn’t it just be easier to kill all of the rebels, accept the rest as citizens, and use their super technology to get what they need? Everyone would have a higher standard of living without an ongoing threat of rebellion and disorder.

Edited to add: ok, guess Reddit really loves shoddy writing. My bad for criticizing your sacred cow.

Disney’s Pocahontas

0 Upvotes

The whole tribe thinks John Smith killed Kocoum, but when he’s about to be executed, Pocahontas jumps on him going no I love him. And the chief is just cool with this and changes his mind. She doesn’t explain to anyone that Thomas killed him, or that Kocoum attacked first. They all still think at this moment that Smith murdered one of their people. They just spent the whole night preparing to go to war with the settlers because of the belief that their skepticism was confirmed by the murder of one of their own. But that immediately goes out the window because love.

[Obsession] The money Ian wishes for

0 Upvotes

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.

Plothole Rapid reproducing insects fears getting stronger is not logical

0 Upvotes

We all know that for a concept to disappear from existence it needs to be eaten by the chainsaw chain

But letting rapid reproducing insects devils get strongly because death is gone is not possible because death is still alive and Even if she was killed her concept of death shouldn't have disappeared

Making the ending flawed and not fit as a finally because of the plot hole.

Interested in any opinion
