Worst plot hole you've ever read or seen?

How about the plot hole on COD4/MW2 where cpt.Price dies in COD4 then is somehow brought back to life in MW2.Nick3306

He didn't die in COD4.

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="Agent-Zero"]Maybe he had his Invisibility Cloak?v13_KiiLtz

Harry didn't wear it on that particular occasion. And also, he had five other people with him. They couldn't all fit under an invisibility cloak.

>Only two people can take the prophecy.

>Prophecy goes missing

>Oh noes, but Harry's still at school!

>Who took it then? Not Voldermort because he's dead!

The plot hole has to do with the lack of security. There's no logical reason that there should be no security at the Ministry, especially since Voldemort doesn't want to go near the Ministry because he fears detetction. No security undermines JKR's insistence that the prophecy is difficult to obtain.

lol the time turner in Harry Potter. Introducing that was like introducing an invincible life cheat. It literally could have been used in any movie to literally solve every problem.

Also why did Harry have to compete in the tri wizard tournament. He could have just forfeit every challenge. And why does Harry have to do everything what the f*** is Dumbledore doing.

And why say Dumbledore is gay This literally had nothing to do with the books and nothing to do with the story.

And why is Harry Potter even the chosen one or anythings special. He really doesnt do anything great or extraordinary, most the time he gets lucky, unknowingly lead by a mentor, or help from his friends. And what he does do he just happened to learn in class the week before, its not as if hes some powerful wizard.

Jolt_counter119

first one I agree

second one: True but I meant forfeit as in walk in and give up in seconds. He didnt literally have to try his hardest to win every challenge when he said he didnt want to compete. He could have walked in and then walked out.

Fourth one yeah but I meant in a more wizardly sense. Like it would have been cool he Harry was actually a powerful wizard to take on the most powerful and evil Voldemort but he wasnt really that great and the last battle was such a let down. As if Rowling was like "f*** I need to end the series....um alright ill just come up with a quick little victory for Harry with little retaliation"

[QUOTE="Nick3306"]You watch him die, you see the guy trying to revive him give up, so yes, he does die.Nick3306

Last week, two teens got struck by lightning. Their hearts stopped for 30 MINUTES. They survived.

He did not clearly die.

[QUOTE="Avian005"]

[QUOTE="Nick3306"]You watch him die, you see the guy trying to revive him give up, so yes, he does die.Nick3306

No, the guy tried for like 2 seconds, started pounding and gave up.

1. CPR isn't the way to help someone with a gunshot wound

2. Nobody checked if he was breathing or if he had a heart beat

3. He could have been helped later

4. We never actually see him die, watching some random soldier's poor attempt at CPR on someone who didn't need it isn't confirmation on anything

5. Thinking someone dies and then watching them come back in asequel isn't a plot hole, it's a twist, this has been done in movies a bunch of times (they usually don't come back in the sequel but in the same movie)

I hate to be the one to say it. But if you read the book carefully they state that it must be Harry who picks up the prophecy - as it is his after all.

AndyWilliams24

Even if this is correct, how does this change what I said? The plot hole is the lack of security and the stated reason for Voldemort not going after himself was that he didn't want to alert the Ministry to his existence?

What logical reason is there that Harry could simply stroll into the Department of Mysteries?

And also, the book does state that the only ones that can touch the prophecy are those about whom it was made. That includes Voldemort.

Even so, I clearly stated that the plothole was the lack of security. How does it make sense that there is no security at the Ministry, especially after JRK insisted that the prophecy was well guarded?

Capt. Price is like Patterson in MOH. The CP in Cod2 isn;t the same on in mw1 and 2 like the patterson in Frontlines isn't the same one in the new MoH and all of the other ones he was in.

Why did you have to bring this up? Now I'm going to be wondering about it all the time now. :P

It's interesting because the order was definitely guarding the place (as evidenced by Arthur Weasely and his being attacked by Nagini). There must be an explanation though. Have you asked this question in a HP forum? I'm sure some interesting theories could be concocted by the community.

I stopped going to HP forums a long time ago. The fans were too aggressive, but I think it might be interesting to try to ask JK Rowling herself. She sometimes answers those kind of questions.

Another big plot hole: The Lost World Jurassic Park.

What in God's name murdered the crew of that ship? The T-Rex had no way of getting in those small corridors and eating the drivers and such.

I do know that they DID have a planned scene to explain it, but they took it out and replaced it with nothing so what we are left with is one of the most glaring plot holes I have ever seen once you notice it.

Apparently the original plan was raptors, but the took it out and left literally NO explaination as to what happens. It's as if no one cares that this whole crew of people just got freaking mauled to death...

Lord of The Rings. They bring those hobbit boys through hell just to go toss a piece of metal in a volcano when that super-powerful, super-lazy old wizard could have teleported there and do it himself.

Looper - SPOILERS AHEAD (Just in case you don't know what spoiler tags mean :P )

Ok, so the entire concept is pretty cool. Time travel has been invented in the future but is outlawed, but the mob, some how has the experties and money to make their own time travel apparatus. So the mob being what it is, it uses time machines to send people it wants killed back to the past so they can be killed by hired assassins in the past known as "Loopers." Oh yeah, and telekenesis is a thing too... Ignoring the fact that there are 101 better things to do with a time machine, lets just accept that thats how it is.

[spoiler]

So now lets get to all the little loop holes (pun intended giggity giggity goo!).

1. Why do they need Loopers? Loopers are told exactly where the future mob is going to teleport someone in, so that implies that the time travel device is able to place someone in a location with relative accuracy. So rather than having Loopers and wasting money paying these people to be assassins, why not just drop the guy in a volcano or something?

2. At the end why did Young Joe kill himself? He seems to have had some sort of epiphany that Future Joe's attempt at killing the young rainmaker and inadvertedly killing the rainmaker's mother is what causes the rain maker to turn evil and hunt down all loopers. And in an effort to stop his future self, he shoots himself in the heart. But there-in lies the problem. The Rainmaker existed in a future where his mother was never hunted down by future joe or anyone, and yet he still grew up to be a certifiably murderous jack ass. So by killing himself, what did he change? He was never the reason the Rainmaker existed. Its like turning off your stove because your cell phone has no network. The two are completely unrelated. Whether or not ur stove is on, u still wont have network. Same applies here, whether or not the future joe does his thing, the rainmaker will stil be born. The only chance at chanding anything would be to kill the rainmaker.

In dragon ball z,  when cell self-destucted himmself on king kai's planet, he can back to Earth and  says as long as his head/brain is intact he can regenerate. Yet when Goku destroyed his head in Kamehameha wave in a earlier episode, he didnt die.

And also the entire plot in The Last Story. How did thhe main characters in the game did not suspect that

  [spoiler]    Dagron murdered General Asthar. I mean who else could have killed him. Dagron was the only person who use the elevator to get to the weapon room.  Zael sees him uses the elevator. Yet when Zael uses the elevator to go to the weapon room to get to  General Asthar. Why he did not notice that the only person who had be there with General Asthar  is Dagron. Why didnt he notice Dagron's disappearence [/spoiler]

II_Seraphim_II

I agree with you entirely. I hate even more how [spoiler]   they suggested both that the mob had to work underground and used the loopers, but at the same time they dominated the future. They killed Bruce's wife in the future too, which goes against what is said in the beginning (that it's almost impossible to cover up murder in the future, which is why they needed loopers)  [/spoiler]

i ignore them all because everything is riddled with plot holes and i'm not going to hold just a few to some standard while i let everything else off the hook.
