Line 230:
* In ''[[Gears of War]]'', the Kryll are a swarm of flying piranhas that savagely attack ''anything'' that falls into darkness and consumes them in seconds. This is true of human and locust alike, only General RAAM can walk amongst Kryll without any damage and his means for doing this are never explained. In the DLC campaign "RAAM's Shadow" for ''3'' (chronologically earlier), normal Locust walk among Kryll just fine and indeed even RAAM's lieutenants are able to command the Kryll.
* In the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' anime and manga, Goku punishes Monster Rabbit for turning Bulma into a carrot and his [[Elite Mooks|two decorated mooks]] by using his Power Pole to send them to the moon, where they must make treats for a year. Eight months later, it gets blown up by Master Roshi. However, the video games state Monster Rabbit and his cohorts got off the rock and back to Earth beforehand... which gives way to the plot hole: '''HOW?!?'''
* In the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' franchise, a plot hole is produced by the 'Deception' tie-in novel, which claims that the Illusive Man was indoctrinated by the Reapers decades ago. This directly contradicts the plot of Mass Effect 2, which has the Illusive Man going to greatunbelievable expense and a prolonged, years-long effort to save Shepard's life from the Collectors -- who he knows are are indoctrinated servants of the Reapers, and knows that they have orders from the Reapers to make absolutely sure that Shepard is dead. While an indoctrinated servant is capable of not consciously realizing they are indoctrinated, and capable of incredible heights of self-delusion and self-rationalization to try and avoid noticing that they are, whether aware or unaware they are simply not capable of directly opposing Reaper interests for longer than a brief moment -- and even that briefly only with titanic effort, with significant external encouragement, and with the prior conscious knowledge that they ''are'' indoctrinated.
** To be fair to the franchise, the video games themselves strongly imply that the Illusive Man was indoctrinated in between the events of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, which entirely fits the timeline. The problem only arises when you try to incorporate the expanded universe material.
