Not a movie but, From.

People aren't even reading the definition and just assuming these means "bad movie".
Fargo is a great a movie and fits this description perfectly.

Breaking Bad

Plenty of Star Trek episodes are like that

Smartest people in the galaxy

Constantly getting duped by Villain of the Week

Replace idiot with egotistical yeah pretty much

she's not an idiot

Severance

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

To add to it, if Lumon wasn't that sloppy at keeping track of their employees and hired more security guard most of the plot points wouldn't have happened

Harry Potter 4

What movie is this?

lost

GOT season 8

I really hate to say it, but yep, that one.

The Star Wars prequels hinge on everyone but Palpatine being retarded

So all the Chicago TV shows, basically. And Elsbeth. And nu Mattlock.

Add Mace Windu

me yelling at the TV "Kill him! Kill him!" like I'm at a Roman coliseum

John Wick?

Your life

Lumon can shell out for extravagant dance parties, claymation training videos, and fucking marching bands

Subsidizes housing for all severed employees

Only keeps one security guard on payroll

big bad just picks up hero and throws him around like a ragdoll instead of snapping his neck or literally any of the other dozen ways to rapidly kill him

hero shoots serial killer once and then does not proceed to empty gun into his skull while he's down for the count

Dude where's my car

TDKR honestly.
A fairly strong argument could be made for the entire trilogy.

Gladiator

The nigs got it in the chop shop

This one will literally shave points off your IQ.

The Batman

Any romcom/drama that has a

scene.

These are my answers

War of the worlds

Dumb and Dumber

Idk about movies but this is every episode of Modern Family. Most of the plot points would be resolved if the characters just what's on their mind instead of getting into hijinks, especially the gay couple.

The genius of Fargo was the opening scene. Buscemi points out how William H Macy's plan makes no sense at all, so the audience is given carte blanche to not take it seriously from the get go.

Season 2 insisting Lumon knows everything was wild. I had always just assumed Season 1 knew how incompetent/complacent security was.

Westworld (tv show) is probably the best example I can come up with for this phenomenon.

boss what’s da plan we have a bunch of guys with automatic rifles against a tightly packed crowd of of middle aged unarmed cops

shoot mostly at their feet then get into a punching match

Can we stop pretending like nolan isn’t a hack

Marvel movies have plenty of problems but not this. Maybe a couple specific ones have "idiot plots" (like Civil War where they all fight eachother for kinda dumb reasons) but most don't.

But they are not the smartest people in the galaxy, they are just a random fucking starship with a competent but still regular (mostly) human crew. Only the JJ Abrams movies make them all out to be exceptional people who are basically superheroes but that's never what they were supposed to be.

Any Lynch trash

Seek employment immediately

Idiocracy

most of them really

The Acolyte.

Correct, and nice digits.
Absolutely correct. Came here to post this.
Technically I think you're right, yes.
It also got even more retarded as time went on.

some nigger is stalking me and waiting for my bounty to continue increasing

better let him live, after all, he has a dog

Kill yourself.

Most of them. It’s why you get such a strange sensation watching a movie where people don’t do the plot required shit and just act like people. It breaks the kayfabe of movies.

LETS FIST FIGHT TERRORISTS IN THE STREET

Nolan is half retarded and half genius

Most anime

Replace idiot with schizophrenic and you're right desu

Yeah, anyone who would agree to have brain surgery and just not know what they're doing for half their life, in exchange for... an extreme work/life balance? Anyone who takes that deal is an idiot.

I mean MoS is the unironically. Everyone on Krypton is an idiot and Zod goes about everything in an idiotic way.

Harry Potter. Even though based on a book, the movie shares the same lore and there is no reason why Dumbledore couldn't defeat Voldemort and just kill him off. Dumbledore could gather the best aurors around the world, himself being probably the most powerful Wizard anyhow being on the same powerlevel would be enough to do it himself but lets be real, if Dumbledore wouldn't have been a fucking lazy idiot he could've wiped his ass with Toms face in an instant

Begins and TDK were at least believable. Rises has so much weird shit like EVERY single cop in the city getting trapped in a tunnel

Most if not all of the Harry Potters leave you asking 'why didn't they just... ?'. The most common one is 'why didn't they just tell Dumbledore?'. How much of this is due to the movie adaptations leaving out details from the books I don't know, but it's irrelevant to the movies as they are alone.

Entire CIA sequence

Every cop gets trapped in a tunnel

Bane destroying the Wayne fortune in the stock market and it doesn't immediately get overturned along with every other trade that day

Bane had oneitis for Talia and Bruce somehow figures this out via hallucinations

Bruce fakes his death and runs off to live happily ever after and no one recognizes him except Alfred who happens to be at the same cafe

hey man they actually explain in the show that, hold on something just came up, gotta head out

>Bruce fakes his death and runs off to live happily ever after and no one recognizes him except Alfred who happens to be at the same cafe

This was a dream sequence, anon

Trump administration

Psycho. Every character is either retarded or insane to the point of making the same decisions they would make if they were retarded.

The trump administration am i right

she's not what keeps the plot moving but Macy's and Buscemi's idiot characters.

this

most recently anora for me

russian handlers who have been with the kid his whole life would never suspect he ran off to a strip club

too many to name. it would be harder to name a movie/show that ISN'T an idiot plot

and to that, i submit inherent vice. one would need post-hoc omniscience to discern he was involved in the CIA's establishment of the hard drug industry for the sake of inoculating the poor against communist sentiment, and destroying any and every ideal of "america" in the process.

Freddy got fingered. Every person is an idiot there because they threat Tom Green like a normal being, when he should be in a mental asylum. The movie would only last 5 minutes

NO
MORE
DEAD
CAWPS

Shouldn't have taken the money, idiot.

keep in motion solely by virtue of the fact that everybody involved is an idiot

Can think in another movie where all people take always the worst choice possible and keep the same pattern until the end of the movie.

and how was he supposed to set up this confrontation, yell at Voldemort to "1v1 me FAGGOT?"

cant remember the name of it but it was a foreign comedy horror movie
mightve been french or spanish

no reason

Finding him is hard, because Riddle is pretty fucking good at hiding. He is on Dumbledore's caliber. I mean granted, Dumbledore could have had some charmed items or such at Little Hangleton just in case somebody showed up, captured Voldemort while he is contained in a helpless vessel and dumped him into some Draught of Living Death.

The real issue is book 3. Pettigrew's escape. A Stunner and a Body Bind would have done the trick among other issues. But hey, shit happens and priorities are a thing.

Aside from those, most of the alleged plotholes aren't really such a thing. Dumbledore isn't omnipotent, and with Riddle having a powerful body again, the possibility of the knowledge getting to him that people know of his horcruxes was too risky.

retards it was written by a fucking woman

I can't respond to this right now.

Unavailable in the first 2 books, shit went south too fast in the 3rd, what were they supposed to tell him in the 4th, and he was busy with shit in the 5th and sixth, and was dead in the 7th.

movie about addiction

addicts do stupid shit that harm themselves and others around them

holy fuck who could have ever guessed?

kek

What movie is this?

Seems like 95% of movies made in the last 25 years have idiot plots. The Phantom Menace was the first massively successful blockbuster where every single character in the movie was so hopelessly retarded you just wanted them all dead by the end of the film. I mean the Star Wars prequels really gave birth to the modern era of terribly lazy braindead writing where every character is a total spastic, there are giant plotholes everywhere and nothing really makes sense.

I think of people like Alex Kurtzman and JJ Abrams and how they like to "write" a movie, which is just them thinking of a bunch of "cool" scenes tbey'd like to see happen then they write down all these "cool" scenes and later come up with some totally illogical "storyline" to connect all those cool scenes together. There's no real plot, just random shit happens for 90 minutes connected by a flimsy piece of string. A week after seeing it you can't even remember what the movie was about. George Lucas made this approachj the norm in moviemaking today because the Star Wars prequels proved that you didn't need a cohesive story, great characters and a strong script to make money, you just needed a bunch of dumb shit to happen for 90 minutes and if the brand recognition was strong enough you could still make millions and millions of dollars even when the movie was a complete piece of shit.

No one in history has done anywhere near as much damage to cinema as George Lucas has. Thanks George.

the possibility of the knowledge getting to him that people know of his horcruxes was too risky.

Especially when it's an entire plot point that the only reason they even stand a chance of finding his horcruxes is because Voldemort has an ego the size of a planet and has kept them in places relevant to him personally in objects of great value

if he gets the word they're being destroyed, exactly what stops him from, just in case, taking 1 of them and hiding it in a random spot in a desert or something
hell the book actively brings it up that he could have just turned a random rock in the world into a horcrux

Not a movie, but the entire Cell arc only happens because all the characters throw their common sense away and make the dumbest decisions possible (even the villain)

alien convenant

Rogue One.

Insidious parasitic insect evolves into a loud boisterous african then evolves into a perfect white man (with a british accent)

this scene was kino though

these

coen bros do idiot plots better than anyone, and theirs are actually done on purpose

should include this too since its basically o brother where art thou

An idiot acting like an idiot is not an idiot plot
It's only valid if supposedly competent people are idiots
For example a hormonal teenager doing something stupid and shortsighted is not an idiot plot, but a genius level robot doing so is an idiot plot

indeed, but trainspotting at least is funny and they are not full time idiots. Requiem for a Dream give every main character the royal crown of stupidity.

funny thing, I was into an factory accident, a guy lost his leg and all the place was full of blood, even with work boots we struggle to not fall. I think this scene is far from stupid and is very faithful to the situation, but films dont keep this realism because, well, people could think it look stupid.

yet again

Muri is severely injured and asks Dan to take the toxin to the past, expressing that humanity was never going to survive in this timeline. They reconcile, and Dan successfully returns to the past with the toxin to mass-produce it. He attempts to deliver it to the military so it can be sent back to the future, but discovers that the Jumplink is offline, having been destroyed by the Whitespikes.

After explaining to his wife what happened in the future, they deduce that the Whitespikes did not arrive in 2048, but much earlier. Dan and Dorian investigate the Whitespike's claw with Charlie and discover fragments of volcanic ash from a volcano in the Changbai Mountains. They theorize that Whitespikes were already on Earth and global warming caused their release when they thawed and emerged from beneath the polar caps. He turns to the military for aid, but they cannot support him without proof. He asks his father to transport an eight-man team. Dan leads a mission to Severnaya Zemlya in northern Russia to test his theory, and finds an alien ship in an ice sheet.

Once inside, they realize that the alien ship is not actually a Whitespike ship, and that the Whitespikes were cargo for the deceased alien crew. They inject the toxin into the dormant Whitespikes, killing those injected, but it awakens the remaining Whitespikes. Dorian and Hart decide to sacrifice themselves by manually detonating the alien ship once they realize it is the only method of containment, but the female manages to escape. Dan and his father track down the female and manage to kill her, preventing the future war from occurring. Dan reunites with his daughter and introduces her to her grandfather.

The world's leaders are convinced of the threat sufficiently to send the entire military of Earth 30 years through a time portal (piecmeal as they can only send an auditorium worth at a go), THEN start sending waves of (poorly armed) civilians into the future after the military is wiped.

Prove it

I prefer non-fiction idiot plots like when Klingon Ellen Page went on Colbert to accuse known gaybasher Mike Pence of queerstomping Juicy Smoollet
It had that great twist ending where you find out Ellen was actually a man all along, easily the Wachowskis masterpiece

Wiped out by no flying beast aliens who shoot body spikes mind you.
And then, when Pratt's character returns to the Present, having witnessed final alien victory, but actually realizing where the invasion's genesis begins, THEN THE EARTH'S LEADERS ARE SUDDENLY SKEPTICAL.

The fact Krillin didn't blow up 18 when the dragonballs exists is the worst offense.

"What, the Aliens were thawed out from this specific location in Asian by thawing? Well, we can't trust that enough to check that out!"

Seriously, it's the dumbest fucking major budget movie I have ever seen. No element of the convoluted plot makes a bit of fucking sense.

It's a show for (retarded) hyperactive children, it doesn't have to make any sense.

Leaving Las Vegas

Blood is surprisingly slick. It's more like having oil on the ground than water.

Same with the Buu arc honestly. In Super they make a point that Future Trunks averted Buu's revival in his timeline because he's an ice cold dick killer and Vegeta wasn't around to screw everything up.
Goku and Vegeta are too saiyan blooded to pass up a good fight and it gets them into trouble. That's why Cell was an idiot as well. He inherited their saiyan instincts.

Why this movie?

He let his wiener do the walking.

Never before and never since has there been a fictional human looking species that was all about wanting every puff of smoke in the universe more than the Saiyans. Of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, GT, Xeno and basically everything before Super. Sometimes.

Because I just watched it. It was a great film but everyone involved were idiots aside from the side plot of the gangsters killing the Latvian dude. As a drunk I can analyze this film objectively.

especially with the Benny Hill music

That's the thinking of an autist. It's still outright murder

It worked for 52 seasons of The Walking Dead…

Many Coen bros movies fit this pattern. Big Lebowski is like an anti-detective movie, the hero is clueless and doesn’t really figure anything out.
No Country has two critical mistakes but otherwise people act rational and toward self preservation. Plot is upended by circumstances out of the protagonist’s control.
True Grit again features many reluctant agreements with people backing out when the going gets tough only to be hooked back in. They take turns trying to avoid conflict and bad odds. Mattie’s lust for revenge is unreasonable but she’s literally a child with childish fantasies.
Miller’s Crossing is a long series of bad but seemingly justified choices where people get outmaneuvered in spite of their best efforts not because of plot stupidity.
Raising Arizona doesn’t quite fit but it’s a comedy so plot stupidity is part of the joke.
Fargo is another one where people are mostly waylaid in spite of themselves. Jerry is pretty stupid and does fuck things up but everyone else is acting rationally.

train to busan

what would you have done instead?

rape

If someone is competent they aren't an idiot.

There's a difference between a character not being a perfect actor and a contrived plot where characters act inhumanly stupid solely so the plot can continue.

I prefer movies where everyones a genius

This broad eating a whole ass raw onion?

Yeah, I felt myself getting dumber the longer I watched it. I'm already short on brain power and this took more away.

The whole movie was a dream sequence.

Star Wars prequels.
