Comment: Movies, plot holes and entertainment
I watched a youtube video, it was a list of 8 movies with plot holes that may actually not be plotholes at all, and may have simple explanations to them. So I decided to bring my take on things to the table and left the following comment:
The first one might still be a plot hole, because the chemical is released when the water is vaporized. People do make tea you know? Unless the water has to reach some sort of hypersteam(?) A state that can only be achieved by using that machine.
Anyway, to me that batman vapor machine thing translates like this: bad guys somehow released a hallucinogenic chemical that messes up people thus threatening the people and their way of life. I don't look for plot holes in movies or question their realism, I watch movies for my enjoyment, otherwise I couldn't watch them at all, because there was no Dr. Henry Walton Jones Jr. who looked like Harrison Ford in the nazi era. Where does the mass for Banner-Hulk transform come from? Or where does it go? Explain the bone structure change. Magic? Science says no, 0 out of 10, literally unwatchable........ Why won't any of the witnesses describe suspects saying "He was the guy who looked exactly like Tom Cruise" Why weren't the events of Godzilla(1998) mentioned in The Siege(1998) or the other way around? Why weren't the events of Independence Day(1996) mentioned in either of those? Why is the Empire State Building still standing to this day, despite that the aliens nuked the shit out of it. Are they trying to say that the events in those movies weren't REAL??!??!? Say it ain't so.
People can't enjoy anything anymore because they "know" stuff, they can't suspend their disbeliefs anymore, everything HAS to be realistic. If you follow that line of thought, the only movies left would be documentaries, that's not a bad thing per se, but there is a reason why we all watched Batman begins instead of Murderball, which is a documentary about quadriplegics btw. I mean is it really worth it to hold on to your truths, knowledge and reality, even though it's safe to let go of them for the duration of the movie? It'll be waiting you after the movie, and if it wasn't then it's not "the truth" thus it isn't knowledge, thus not something you'd apparently want. Truth doesn't go anywhere, so there's no need to hold on to it. When watching a movie, forget what you know, otherwise you'll be paying for not enjoying something.
Aren't movies a way to escape reality? Why bring that with you then? The movie usually sets the premise for what you need to know, but movies are made by people and there can be mistakes, it's not that big of a deal. Some movies are actually about contradicting its own premise. Instead of looking at the details, look at the overall message that is being told through that medium. See the woods from the trees.
tl;dr: movies aren't "real"....
