Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

You forgot a few.
Iron Man: Plot revolves around a man who is clearly made of flesh having his fleshy, non-iron, body break down on him.
Wizard of Oz: Despite there being multiple witches, there are, in fact, no wizards at all in the movie.
Titanic: The ship is clearly established as being unsinkable early in the movie. However, later in the movie, it sinks.
They're all pretty good movies despite the blatant plot holes.
Agree that somehow these movies all come out in the wash despite these blunders.
They should take a look at TV shows which prioritise realism in the future: The Wire features reporters making up serial killers and Nation of Islam assassins; both of which are just every day facts of the street. Characters are named after catchphrases they use, I.e. prop Joe, and they never get tired of saying these catchphrases. Small details but it is REALISM. The world has been brought to life.
See also, a middle aged man successfully taking on an entire cartel in Breaking Bad. Everyone knows that criminals are stupid and a sufficiently motivated vigilante can run rings around them. They've EARNED my trust with attention to detail like this plotline and the main character's wife nagging him.
