Top 10 Superhero Movie Plot Holes


the action is incredible the characters
are unique and the effects blow your
mind but sometimes the plot doesn’t
always make sense I never wanted you to
come back to Gotham welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten superhero
movie plot holes thought there’d be a
legal issue but actually I’m capable of
appointing my successor
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
major plot points in superhero films
that logically don’t make a whole lot of
sense either in the context of the
overall film or because of previous
movies in the series number 10 the
franciscan under deadpool i’m looking
for have you seen this man
deadpool is full of hilarious moments
and seeds one in particular is when Wade
finds out the Ajax the primary villain
in the film is actually named Francis
despite being tortured Wade continues to
call him Francis to annoy him except he
does this throughout the film sorry
Francis my lips are sealed when he hunts
down the men who worked for Ajax he asks
for Francis since Ajax hated his name so
much it is unlikely that he ever told
his accomplices his real name which
means these guys should have no idea who
deadpool is talking about how tough can
he be there’s a name like Francis number
9
removing shrapnel from his chest Iron
Man 3 of course there are people who say
progress is dangerous but I’ll bet none
of those idiots ever had to live with
the chest full of shrapnel Iron Man 3 is
a movie that Morrow fans seem to either
love or hate
and it certainly features more than a
few controversial moments one comes at
the very end when Tony Stark undergoes
surgery to remove the shrapnel from his
chest
except this doesn’t make sense when you
consider that in the first two films he
needed the arc reactor to survive in
fact in Iron Man 2 a major plot point
revolves around the reactor keeping him
alive but also poisoning him at the same
time if surgery was possible the entire
time why didn’t he just do it when he
returned home in the very first film
that was the best sleep I’ve had in
years number 8 how did Thor get to earth
the Avengers
at the end of the first Thor film Thor
makes a difficult decision to destroy
the Bifrost bridge and keep Loki from
destroying Jotunheim this was an
incredible moment of self sacrifice for
thorne as it means that he will be
unable to return to earth and unable to
reunite with Jane Foster until he does
so in the Avengers how much dark energy
did the all-father have to muster to
conjure you here your precious earth
while there is an explanation out there
that Thor was able to return to Earth
thanks to Odin using dark energy or
something this kind of runes Thor’s
heroics at the end of the earlier film
the earth is under my protection
Loki number 7 cafeteria web shot
spider-man one of the best parts of Sam
Raimi’s original spider-man film is how
he shows Peter Parker learning about his
powers in one great scene Peter
accidentally fires his webs after
noticing a fork stuck to his hand while
sitting in the school cafeteria after
dumping a pile of food on Flash Peter
quickly leaves with the cafeteria tray
dragging behind him
dozens of students see this and clearly
see the web yet no one puts two and two
together when Spiderman appears on the
streets only a short time later
number six Stock Exchange The Dark
Knight Rises go mobile Bane delivers
several deadly blows to both Batman and
Bruce Wayne in the final installment of
Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy one
that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense
however is when he causes Bruce to go
bankrupt by attacking the stock exchange
and forcing trades to be made in his
name Stock Exchange there’s no money you
could steal right now why are you people
here the attack was highly publicized so
it is ridiculous to think that the board
members of Wayne Enterprises would think
Bruce was responsible or that the stock
exchange itself wouldn’t reset its
numbers due to the act of terrorism
you’re a hit on the stock exchange it
didn’t work my friend
number five when can Bruce control his
anger the Avengers and the Avengers age
of Ultron whenever a super villain seeks
to tear the Avengers apart they try to
target the Hulk the main reason for this
is because Bruce Banner can’t control
his actions as the Hulk and it forces
the team to try and stop the giant green
guy except in the climax of both films
Bruce is somehow able to harness his
anger and not only turn into the Hulk
when he wants to but also control his
actions as the whole as he fights
alongside his fellow heroes it seems
that Bruce is only able to control his
anger when the plot needs it to the
world saw the Hulk
real Hulk for the first time number four
why don’t the Avengers help cap take
down Hydra Captain America the Winter
Soldier the new Hydra grew a beautiful
parasite inside
considered by many to be one of the best
if not the best film of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe Captain America the
Winter Soldier features a wild plot
twist where it is revealed that Hydra
has completely infiltrated shield
that’s impossible children stopped you
Kat discovers that Hydra is planning to
assassinate millions of people around
the globe who might become future
threats to the organization seems like
something that the rest of the Avengers
particularly Tony Stark would be
interested in preventing No
instead cap is essentially forced to
deal with the situation on his own with
only a couple of other players supplying
backup why do you think we’re meeting in
this cave I noticed how many paid the
price before you did number three why
not use Quicksilver all the time x-men
Days of Future past
quicksilver gives us one of the best
moments in the x-men franchise when he
uses his super speed to help break
magneto out of prison with that kind of
power he seems to be the perfect mutant
to bring with you on any dangerous
mission so where is he when magneto
starts getting out of control
or better yet why didn’t they just send
Peter Maximoff to deal with Trask the
problem with creating an awesome mutant
with tremendous power is that it raises
the number of questions when he isn’t
used throughout the film he’s kidding
number 2 Doc Ock nearly kills Peter
Parker spider-man 2 learning from Harry
Osborn that the best way to find
spider-man is through Peter Parker Doc
Ock finds Peter while he is in a cafe
with Mary Jane instead of simply
threatening Peter or even roughing him
up a little
he literally throws a car at him the
attack triggers Peter spider-sense and
he is able to miraculously save himself
an MJ at this point in the film however
Doc Ock doesn’t know that Peter is
actually spider-man so why would he do
this to a supposedly innocent man while
the scene is definitely cool logically
it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense
Peter Parker

and the girlfriend number one Zod’s plan
Man of Steel Krypton lives again what
happens to earth the foundation has to
be built on something Wells odds plan is
relatively simple in concept essentially
he wants to turn earth into the next
Krypton it actually doesn’t make any
sense when you start to think about it
Superman
who spent the majority of his life on
earth suffers a few health problems due
to the change in atmosphere but all that
ultimately disappears and he is by far
the most powerful being on the planet
why woods odd not want to keep earth the
same so that he and the rest of his
minions would also be extremely powerful
it’s much easier to rule if no one has
the power or capability to oppose you we
could have built a new Krypton do you
