What an Idiot!/Film: Difference between revisions

** In ''[[Saw]] V'', The players who have been selected turn out to be highly [[Genre Savvy]] when they figure out (early in the film) that closing the door in a room activates the next trap. This, in addition to brainstorming creative solutions to the traps, does a lot to get the audience on their side. Near the end of the film, Brit and Malick (the two remaining survivors) kill a woman named Luba and use her body to provide an electric current to open the door to the final trap. They enter the room and learn that they (and, presumably, all the other survivors who lived) have to stick their hands into a sawblade in order to draw enough blood to fill a beaker and open the final door to escape.<br />'''You'd Expect:''' Given the fact that they were a fairly smart duo, either Brit or Malick (who had suggested alternate plans before) would go back to the previous film, disconnect the electric clamps, bring her body into the final room and use her hands to draw enough blood to fill the beaker. Alternatively, they could have just cut off her arms (seeing as Brit still had a very big knife) and use it to fill the beaker that way.<br />'''Instead:''' They stick their hands in and cut halfway up through their arms to fill the beaker. They both survive, but pass out due to massive blood loss.

* ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'': The Osborn butler finds out that Norman/Green Goblin was [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]] by his own glider. However, Harry believes that Peter/Spider-Man is responsible and swears on his father's grave to kill him.<br />'''You'd Expect:''' ... the butler to tell Harry immediately upon finding out.<br />'''Instead:'''

'''Harry:''' You couldn't tell me that ''before I had my right side of my face blown up?! }}

** Same film. The Green Goblin has just impaled himself on his own glider. As Peter delivers the body, Harry walks in and angrily accuses Spider-Man of killing his father while grabbing a gun.<br />'''You'd Expect:''' Peter to web the gun out of Harry's hands, and explain that the Green Goblin killed his father-- it would be truth [[From a Certain Point of View]], the wounds on Norman's body match up with the glider's weapons, and the Green Goblin already has a history of targeting [[Os Corp]] executives! Apologize to Harry for failing to save Norman and leave.<br />'''Instead:''' Peter leaves as fast as he can, leaving his psychologically unstable best friend with the mistaken belief that Spider-Man is responsible for the death of his father.
