do you bleed welcome to watch mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10
dc movie plot holes are you sweet
talking me
you've lost i don't know how to lose
for this list we'll be looking at
moments from dc movies that just don't
make sense
even in terms of comic book logic maybe
the snyder cut will finally clear up
some of these plot holes but it has a
lot of explaining to do
also keep in mind that some of these
plot holes contain spoilers
which dc plot hole drives you nuts let
us know in the comments
number 10 lois is the key batman vs
superman
dawn of justice dreaming about a
post-apocalyptic world dominated by
superman
bruce is awakened by the flash by a
portal flash tells him that lois is the
key before bruce wakes up
again in the bat cave
so was that whole thing with the flash
part of the nightmare or did it actually
happen
well we guess lois is the key since she
calms supes down in justice league
[Music]
nevertheless we still don't know when
the flash traveled back in time
when he learned to time travel or why
his warning was so
vague zack snyder apparently had plans
for this plot point to be elaborated on
in future films given the ensuing
behind-the-scenes problems though this
bewildering cameo probably should have
been left on the cutting room floor
you're right
[Applause]
the invisible jet wonder woman 1984.
to reach cairo diana and steve take a
jet from the smithsonian
we're not sure why the smithsonian would
keep antique planes fueled and ready to
fly on a runway at night
but that's only the beginning of our
questions here goes nothing
[Music]
steve pilots the plane with ease even
though he hasn't flown since world war
one
just as steve is able to fly a more
advanced aircraft with no trouble
diana conveniently turns the jet
invisible
in five decades diana was only able to
make a cup invisible
now she can suddenly conceal an entire
jet on a whim
on top of all that why doesn't diana use
this newfound power more
why not turn her eagle armor invisible
to sneak up on maxwell and cheetah
[Music]
number eight the squad's purpose suicide
squad
although the suicide squad ends up
defeating the enchantress
that wasn't their initial goal they were
called to midway city to extract a
target from a safe house
which turns out to be amanda waller well
we're about to enter the building get
that chopper ready maybe this would make
sense if they had to escort waller
across the perilous city
waller merely needs assistance getting
to the roof however
where a helicopter is supposed to pick
her up why did waller need
several dangerous criminals to help her
up the stairs there were plenty of
agents around who just as easily could
have done that i'll accept the
consequences
i am your consequence did waller even
need an escort at all
what's more if waller hadn't brought
harley into the mix the joker wouldn't
have hijacked the helicopter that was
supposed to rescue her
number seven send more lanterns green
lantern
the opening narration says that only a
bin swor was able to stop parallax back
in the day
only the legendary green lantern
abansoul was capable of capturing and
imprisoning this beast
hal jordan may have inherited abensour's
power ring but he's still
new to the whole green lantern thing
despite doing very little training or
crime fighting throughout the film
jordan manages to defeat parallax on his
own for a villain who had a lot of build
up parallax is thwarted fairly easily
with how literally punching him into the
sun
[Music]
so why were the green lantern corps and
guardians scared of this thing in the
first place
if hal could defeat parallax in several
minutes imagine how much quicker the
battle would have been if they just sent
a few more green lanterns
we guess they didn't have the will power
number six finding the facility wonder
woman 1984
maxwell lord plans to execute his master
plan from a top secret satellite
facility
of course wonder woman shows up to save
the day but the filmmakers forgot to
divulge some crucial information
how did diana know where the facility
was she wasn't tracking the helicopter
max was on as far as we know she didn't
even see those satellite charts back at
the white house
i need immediate access to this
satellite and the chopper
to get me there she just sees max on
television and manages to track him down
did diana fly around until she found the
facility by chance
it's not the best explanation but it's
more than this movie gives us
of course max's plan itself is a whole
other can of worms
what if people had wished for
contradictory things or for max to drop
dead
[Music]
number five the squad's lack of
superpowers
suicide squad what happens when another
zod or doomsday attacks earth
well we think that the flash aquaman or
wonder woman could take care of it
instead amanda waller enlists a group of
criminals
a suicide squad is deadshot and not so
subtly dubs them
that's it what we some kind of suicide
squad
while that's already an ill-advised idea
waller's selections only add to the
stupidity
the lineup consists of a guy with a gun
a woman with a baseball bat
a dude with a boomerang and a crocodile
man who's strong
but not that strong
the only two members with any real
superpowers are el diablo
who has sworn off violence and
enchantress who they lose control of
you know it feels like everything that
goes wrong in this movie is because of
waller's poor planning
you are evil number four why didn't
diana fly in batman vs superman or
justice league wonder woman 1984 turning
things invisible isn't the only power
that diana suddenly masters in this
sequel
after saying goodbye to steve for the
second time diana discovers the ability
to fly
as sporadic as it is this is an
empowering and atmospheric scene
that works within the confines of the
film
[Music]
when you take the entire dceu into
consideration however
it raises a few questions namely why
didn't diana fly in the movies that take
place later down the line
she could have grabbed the kryptonite
spear and flown into doomsday
sparing superman in the process
there are also several instances during
justice league
where flight would have come in handy we
suppose flying is like riding a bike
sometimes you forget wait that's not how
it works
children i work with children number
three
when did batman and superman become
besties justice league
although he goes to enormous lengths to
destroy superman
batman has a change of heart upon
realizing that their mothers share the
same name
why did you say that name it's his
mother's name
it's his mother's name as corny as that
is maybe this scene could have worked if
batman and superman slowly gained each
other's trust over multiple films
bruce immediately comes to acknowledge
clark as his friend however
forgetting that they were battling to
the death earlier that night
it's okay i'm a friend of your sons
i figured after clark sacrifices himself
bruce
acts as if he's failed a companion
throughout batman vs superman and
justice league though we never see a
genuine friendship develop between them
just because batman and superman are
friends in the comics doesn't mean that
they can
instantly become pals in the movies it
has to be earned
how did you get the house back from the
bank
i bought the bank number two lex's plan
and motivation batman vs superman dawn
of justice
there are several reasons that jesse
eisenberg's portrayal of lex luthor
frustrated many fans
oh ahoy i did not know you were here but
our biggest problem comes down to the
sheer lack of logic
no matter how many ultimate editions you
release lex's plan to get batman and
superman to fight each other
will always be needlessly complex to
save martha
bring me the head of the bat what's even
more convoluted is why lex creates
doomsday
although it's not well explained lex
apparently fears that superman is too
powerful
so why unleash a kryptonian monster
that's bound to cause even more mayhem
again just because lex is a bad guy in
the comics doesn't mean the movies can
throw motivation out the window
now god is good
as dead before we unveil our most
confusing number one pick here are a few
dishonorable mentions
breathing in space superman 4 the quest
for peace
is muriel hemingway secretly kryptonian
joker's parade batman did the citizens
of gotham
not to mention the police forget
everything joker did
broadcast signals from a camera count as
touching people
wonder woman 1984 why doesn't just
seeing max lord work the same way
you said touches
using the particles you are sending
art touching

number one if i could turn back time
superman
as fun as some of the original superman
movies are the titular characters powers
are inconsistent to say the least
out of the blue he's able to throw the s
symbol on his costume and rebuild the
great wall of china with nothing but his
eyes
[Music]
the one that everybody dwells on however
is reversing time by spinning the world
backwards
[Music]
this raises no shortage of questions if
superman can rotate the world with his
great speed
why could he only get one missile why
doesn't he ever use this power again
above all else do you know what would
happen if the earth's rotation was
actually reversed
there would be unbelievable damage but
you definitely would not
time travel stupid car runs out of gas
i'm sorry about that lois
but i've been kind of busy for a while
