| 0:00.0 | What Fatal Flaws Instantly Ruin Any Movie. |
| 0:04.0 | When the two main characters fall in love quickly, especially if they start out hating each other. |
| 0:09.0 | Most recently, Jungle Cruise. |
| 0:11.0 | It could have been a good movie without them falling in love. |
| 0:14.0 | They could have just been friends. |
| 0:16.0 | Background actors and fight or war scenes waiting for their turn to attack the main character. |
| 0:21.1 | Huh, John Claude Van Damme did a pilot for an Amazon original show that talked about this. |
| 0:26.3 | He's playing a version of himself in it, but he's also a super spy that uses his acting gig as a reason to be in the places he needs to do spy stuff in. |
| 0:34.1 | It's weird, I know, but read on. |
| 0:36.1 | He arrives on a movie set where the director tells him, this movie isn't going to be like the old-school ones he's used to where all the bad guys wait their turn to get beat up by him. Later on, when he's doing spy stuff, a bunch of real live guards catch him and they all rush in. Wait, wait, wait, one guard says, stopping the others. If we all attack him at once, we'll bump into each other and stuff, and it'll get really hectic. We should go in one at a time. All of the guards agree, and J.C.V.D. smiles knowingly, thinking the fight just got a lot easier. The first guard rolls up and utterly annihilates him, just full-on beats the crap out of him. It was hilarious. |
| 1:13.7 | I hate when the trailer reveals the entire story. When they break the rules that they set, |
| 1:19.6 | the rules of your universe can be as bat-crap crazy as you like, but once established, they |
| 1:24.2 | should be followed. If an established rule is broken, characters should at least |
| 1:28.1 | notice that stuff isn't right. When the characters have the misunderstanding and break apart |
| 1:33.7 | trope, then the come back together to resolve conflict. I'm so sick of it, especially when |
| 1:39.3 | the misunderstanding could easily be avoided in the moment if they just saw the simple solution |
| 1:43.6 | staring at them in the face. And the breakup sadness is always at the same avoided in the moment if they just saw the simple solution staring at them in the |
| 1:44.5 | face. And the breakup sadness is always at the same point in the movie runtime. I'm thinking, |
| 1:49.9 | good job, writers. You remembered to consult the movie romance cheat sheet. When it's so dark, |
| 1:56.1 | you actually can't see what's happening. Also, characters that mumble their lines, drives me nuts, |
| 2:01.7 | especially when the directors say it's only dark to illustrate that the story is dark. Cheapers |
| 2:06.6 | Frick. Main characters being invisible, while everyone else dies from one punch. I get that the |
