my house is being rolled
my address is 656 lincoln bolivar
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down
our picks for the top 10 ways movie
heroes could have won sooner
first time that anybody ever got the
best of all hercules
why did you just knock on the door i'd
have gotten it for you
oh my god open the hatch wait a minute
if we let it in the ship could be
infected you know the quarantined
procedure
you should have gone for the head
for this list we'll be going over the
solutions to problems in movies that
heroes could have used to achieve their
goals and or wrapped up their films more
quickly
since we'll be discussing the plots of
these movies some spoilers will ensue
if we didn't get to some solutions soon
enough here please tell us in the
comments so we can rectify them another
time
number 10 bringing quicksilver x-men
days of future past
the plot of this time travel superhero
movie revolves around averting the
creation of robotic sentinels
who destroy humanity and mutants to stop
the shape-shifting mystique from trying
to kill their creator
professor x and the gang break magneto
out of prison with help from quicksilver
who can move incredibly fast
except instead of bringing the guy who
can move faster than a speeding bullet
with them
they just leave him literally everything
in the movie would have been easier with
quicksilver around
sure he couldn't reach mystique like
charles could but he could capture her
in seconds but killing him will not
bring them back
it will set you on a path from which
there is no return
and end the cycle of killing us and then
till there is nothing left but we can
stop it
right now you and i
you just have to come home
better yet they could have just taken
quicksilver and skipped breaking out
magneto altogether
since he ended up trying to kill the
president very heroic mr president
but you had no intention of sparing any
of us
the future of our species begins now
number nine putting security guards on
caster troy
face off fbi agent sean archer
relentlessly pursues terrorist caster
troy
after troy kills the agent's son however
just as archer captures troy
the maniac tells him that a bomb will go
off in the city soon
i'm about to unleash the biblical plague
hella deserves
i'll give this hold a break if my
brother and i walk before troy can tell
him where
he falls into a coma in a ludicrous
scheme archer gets a face transplant to
discover where troy planted the bomb
by speaking to his associates as him
unfortunately troy wakes up and
threatens his surgeon into giving him
archer's face
except this wouldn't have been a problem
if there were any men guarding the
dangerous criminal in his sleep
we know the 90s were a simpler time but
simple doesn't mean stupid
still at least we got some great action
out of this blender
number eight asking mr myrtle for the
ball's back
the sandlot a seminal coming of age
movie the sandlot follows a group of
boys who play baseball at a sand lot
much of the film sees them in fear of a
dog
chained up in a nearby yard where they
frequently hit balls
even nicknaming it the beast game's over
me
just get another ball tomorrow yeah i'll
never see it again
why not
the however despite going to elaborate
means to get their balls back
especially when one of them proves to be
a valuable signed one
none of the boys ever thinks to ask the
dog's owner mr myrtle
if they can retrieve the balls from his
yard
it certainly would have saved them a lot
of trouble but then the easiest
solutions don't always occur to you when
you're a kid
first time that anybody ever got the
best of all hercules
why did you just knock on the door i'd
gotten it for you
number seven checking the tracker and
not going in the paddock
jurassic world after an experimental
dinosaur escapes its enclosure at the
titular prehistoric creature zoo
many guests are killed and widespread
mayhem ensues
however it all could have been avoided
with a little common sense
while viewing the indominus rex owen
theorizes that it escaped based on claw
marks were those claw marks always there
you thinking
[Music]
claire claims that it can be tracked via
the control room which she calls while
driving to it
meanwhile owen and some guards go inside
the enclosure
leading to the guards being eaten and
the dinosaur getting out
if claire had just called the control
room immediately she'd have learned that
it was still in the enclosure and none
of it would have happened
likewise owen and the guards didn't need
to go into the paddock
number six calling 9-1-1 home alone
kevin mcallister's time spent by himself
veers between
joy at being free of his awful family
melancholy that they're gone
and fear at the two burglars who attempt
to rob his house
probably looking at some very fine
jewelry possible cash hoard
odd marketable securities
who knows it's a gem although he sets up
a variety of traps that would probably
be lethal in real life
he only escapes their attempts to get
him after calling the police
oh my house is being robbed my address
is 656
lincoln what's strange is that he didn't
do this sooner
he overhears them planning to break into
his house early on
and could easily dial 9-1-1 on them at
any point after that
let's take one step okay we'll unload
the van
get a bite to eat we'll come back about
nine o'clock
sure he thinks he wished his family away
and might be scared of the cops but
come on number five not breaking
quarantine
alien this sci-fi horror classic sees
the crew of the nostromo
come under attack by a deadly alien
organism every one of them is killed
with the exception of ellen ripley it's
a little bit
karmic since if the crew had listened to
ripley in the first place
only one of them would have died what
happened to kane something has attached
itself to him we have to get him to the
infirmary right away
what kind of thing i need a clear
definition an organism
open the hatch wait a minute if we let
it in the ship could be infected you
know the quarantine procedure
after a facehugger alien attaches itself
to kane the crew try to bring him back
aboard
only to be shot down by ripley who's
ranking officer and who brings up
quarantine regulations listen to me if
we break quarantine we could all die
look for jumping the goddamn hatch we
have to get him inside
no i can't do that and if you were in my
position you'd do the same
sure ash who let them back aboard had
ulterior motives but if the rest of the
crew had followed procedure
they'd have lived to mourn kane's death
instead of joining him
[Applause]
number four doing nothing raiders of the
lost ark
indiana jones first film outing is an
unforgettable adventure movie
and beloved by many
[Music]
there's just a small problem with
indie's approach to stopping the nazis
from getting the ark of the covenant
he didn't really need to bother if india
had done nothing at all
the nazis would have found the ark
opened it and had their faces melted
just like what happens in the movie
and sure you could argue that because of
indie's involvement marion might have
been saved and the ark got to be studied
by
top men but he still doesn't need to do
anything to stop the bad guys
and we all know how much he loves easy
solutions
number three attacking the shield
generator from the air
star wars episode six return of the jedi
the final battle of the original star
wars trilogy sees the rebels attack the
second death star
however to destroy the new super weapon
a shield generator on the forest moon of
endor needs to be destroyed
it is protected by an energy shield
which is generated from the nearby
forest moon of
endor
the shield must be deactivated if any
attack is to be attempted
han and company land on the moon and
infiltrate the bunker
eventually blowing it up but wouldn't it
have been simpler to blow up the
generator from the air
since they have spaceships and all well
grant that the generator itself may have
had a shield above it
since it extended into orbit but even if
it did they had an
imperial shuttle we have stolen a small
imperial shuttle
sky disguised as a cargo ship and using
a secret imperial code
a strike team will land on the moon and
deactivate the shield generator
that got them inside the shield so they
could have just dropped a bomb
they could have skipped the ewok detour
and ended the empire sooner
number two cutting thanos handoff
avengers infinity war
there were a lot of ways the avengers
could have ended thanos quest to acquire
the infinity stones sooner
we have a hawk
as tempted as we were to discuss how
they could have just calmed star-lord
down during his meltdown
we went with a more climactic moment
oh god
during the battle in wakanda thor
finally catches up to thanos and throws
his spiffy new axe into the conqueror's
chest
thanos tells him that he should have
gone for the head
you should have gone for the head
although that certainly would have
worked thor could have also gone for the
big purple baddies hand
after all you can't snap your fingers
and wipe out half of the universe if you
don't have fingers

number one elrond destroying the ring
the lord of the rings the fellowship of
the ring
you thought we were gonna save the
eagles didn't you ha
that's three thousand years too late
because of men the ring
survives i was there
i was there three thousand years ago
also inaccurate for various reasons but
moving on
back when sauron is first defeated and
the one ring is cut off his hand
gondor's king isildur takes up the ring
although he and elrom the elf lord take
the ring all the way up mount doom to
throw it into the fire
isildur changes his mind and doesn't
throw it in
cast and enter the fire
destroy it no
and while elrond claims that it's
because of men the ring survived he
could have just slapped the ring out of
his hand and into the pit
the courage of men failed huh it is in
men
that we must place our hope man
men are weak how about your courage
elrond why do hobbits have to suffer
for your mistake
i will take the ring to mordor do you
