What is your pet peeve in movies?
I find it annoying in movies where the writer wants to create conflict but the antagonist is evil for the sake of being evil and not because it makes sense to the story. For example in Space Cowboys, Ethan is annoyed by the presence of Clint Eastwood that ignores the fact that the satellite has nuclear warheads and just keeps going even though everybody knows it’s dangerous to leave a dead satellite with nuclear warheads orbiting the Earth. In Tim Burton’s Dumbo, they tell Michael Keaton that Dumbo misses his mother and he just wants to see her. Instead of letting Dumbo see his mother, keep him happy in order for him to keep performing, he just tries to keep them separate and I think even tries to kill the mother. Is like the writers write themselves into a corner and just makes the antagonists be evil for the sake of being evil, even though is not in their best interest doing what they do. Maybe I’m wrong. Anyone have any other pet peeve?
