30 Dumb Moments in Movies and TV Shows We Just Can’t Take

December 06, 2023

Filmmakers have to make hundreds of little decisions in making a movie, and inevitably some of those decisions are going to be a little stupid. Here are some of our favorite examples…

THE EXPENDABLES In full gear and armed to the teeth, yet no helmets? CRACKED.COM — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

In The Force Awakens, Snoke has a giant hologram of himself because he's really into intimidation. So why is he dressed like he's going to a space-orgy in The Last Jedi? CRACKED.COM — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

GRACKED.COM the twilight saga new moon The costumes in New Moon are ridiculous because their shorts explode every time they transform into wolves. They would need an unlimited supply hidden on branches in the woods. Instead they should be wearing reusable rip-away kilts with velcro closures. Just a suggestion. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

27

THE NIGHT'S WATCH operates in a place of constant winter. Their dress code is all black, and it makes them stick out like a sore thumb in the snowy terrain. They should be wearing a lighter colour so they blend in with the snow. CRACKED.COM — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

CRACKED.COM V's mask seems to THR be the most uncomfortable OF thing you can put on your face. THROUGH FAITH It is stiff and has a very narrow field of view. FOR VENDETTA This is probably what V sees. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

In the DCEU films, Wonder Woman needs her shield, gauntlets and armour to protect herself from damage. SO WHY IS HALF HER BODY COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED? GRAGKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

24

A SEAL in Suicide Squad dies setting off a bomb to kill the villain Incubus. Then Diablo sacrifices himself, holding Incubus on the other side of the wall from the bomb. They could have just thrown the bomb right at Incubus and set it off by shooting it. We know they could because that's exactly what they do three minutes later, the next time they have to blow something up.

23

Later Bond movies say Vesper died in Casino Royale to protect James. How? Why? No explanation. She chooses death just because she knows the movie's ending. If Quantum's still after James, staying alive and giving him info would be the best way to protect him. Or if they're inescapable, she may as well bang the guy for however much time they both have left. CRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

22

In Aquaman, the Queen says the Atlanteans will never stop hunting her. So she gives up her life on land and goes back to Atlantis, to her presumed death. Or, she could just move her family to anyplace other than a lighthouse directly overlooking Atlantis. It took the hunters years to find her even when she was so close, and non-royal Atlanteans can't travel much inland. GRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

The X-Men remember Havok's Apocalypse death as a heroic sacrifice. But what was he trying to accomplish, shooting out that laser? Не blows up the mansion instead of the baddies because they teleport away. But if they didn't, and his laser blasted them, he would have killed Xavier too ... and may have blown up the mansion too anyway.

A crime fighting archer with a hood that covers his peripheral vision... ARROW is just plain idiotic. GRACKED.COM — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

CRACKED.COM It's a zombie apocalypse, not NYC Fashion Week. RESIDENT If the zombies won't kill you, your feet will. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

CRACKED.COM The STANDis the tale of survivors in a post- plague apocalypse. Fran Goldsmith is ultra preppy in miniskirt and tights while riding a motorcycle on a cross- country road trip... and ultra feminine in her cocktail dress while camping out in the middle of the woods. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

Major Alan 'Dutch' Schaefer Predator CRACKED.COM It doesn't matter how ripped you are exposing that much skin in a tropical jungle increases your risk of contracting Malaria, Dengue Fever or, the Zika Virus. Cover up as much as possible. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

CRACKED.COM In the movie ANT-MAN the hero needs an air hose running to his helmet to breathe while miniaturized. All a villain would need to do is sever the hose and the hero would die. — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

The Amazing Spider-Man's Uncle Ben dies confronting a thief. This isn't heroic. Не saves no one. No one was in any danger until Ben grabbed at the guy. All Ben does is turn a pretty cool guy into a murderer. Yeah, a cool guy, as thieves go. The thief threatened no one during the robbery, never pulling out the gun he had on him. Не even took the time to toss Peter the milk the kid couldn't afford. CRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

Bruce Willis in Glass goes after the villains, though they know his weakness. For him, it's a suicide mission. So, why doesn't he just... call the cops and send them instead? Most heroes don't because they're written to be more skilled than cops. But Bruce isn't. He's unbreakable (usually) but isn't stronger than a whole squad. And neither are the villains. Police captured them easily earlier in this very film. CRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

In Spider-Man 3, Harry uses his own body to shield Peter from his glider. Weird that this works. That glider smashes through brick walls. Flesh shouldn't even slow it down. Harry should have used his superhuman reflexes to throw something at it (like he did 30 seconds earlier) or slam it out of the way. Not only would he avoid dying-this would be a lot easier than running to the exact right spot. GRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

Skurge in Thor: Ragnarok leaps off the ship to die fighting the zombie army. But he just needs to kill the ones entering the ship, and he can do that fine while staying aboard. Staying alive also means he can help the Asgardians again later. We see the Children of Thanos turn out to be very killable. Wonder how they'd hold up against a stream of Texas 5.56 mm bullets...

In A Quiet Place, John Krasinski yells to attract monsters from his kid. Doesn't he carry anything he can noisily throw instead? Like a rock? Or a jar? A toy with sound effects? A phone or alarm clock (they have an iPod and keep it charged)? The whole movie is about their detailed prep for dealing with the monsters, but he has nothing prepped for when he meets one?

In Kingsman, Merlin runs out of his freeze spray that disables land mines. Unable to step off safely, he lures in some baddies with song, then blows them up with him. Не could have just chilled on the mine till the mission ended and backup arrived with more spray. Не was perfectly camouflaged. And killing the baddies did nothing-Eggsy faced scores more after this and beat them all easily. CRACKED.COM — Source: 12 Movie Heroic Sacrifices (That Were Spectacularly Dumb)

CRACKED.COM BATMAN S ROBIN While Batman's cowl covers the majority of his face, Robin and Batgirl are concealing their identities with domino masks. The only way they could be more obvious would be name tags. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows

CRACKED.COM SHERLOCK John & Sherlock are a bit stylish for a down-and-out retired British Army doctor and an unambitious freelancer. Maybe they could afford apartments of their own if they weren't dropping $1,000 and $1,700 on jackets. — Source: 18 Dumb Costume Choices In Famous Movies & Shows
