Stupidity: The Eternals are in a rush to figure out what is happening to the world and reunite the group. So naturally they go to their spaceship, which also happens to be where the speedster of their group is, as last part of their trip. Ikaris (which admittedly has an agenda of his own, but the others don't know it and know his abilities) is with them from the beginning, can easily fly across continents and even makes it to the Sun from Earth in a comically short time at the end of the movie, but instead uses their comparatively slow spaceship to spread the word.

Stupidity: Menken runs away from the Special projects section inputting an alarm code in there. Security at Oscorp is not exactly well-thought-out though, because apparently when there's an alarm in their secret weapon-experiment containment facility, their security protocol consists in opening the cells containing those super secret projects so any intruder can more readily steal them.

Stupidity: Oscorp wants to keep hush-hush the death of Max Dillon and erased entirely his existence from the records, because "he is invisible", and a big plot point is made that the guy is 'invisible'. Let's go by this premise, even if it's patently absurd (the guy is so conspicuous that he's going to be the butt of plenty jokes, and we saw at least two coworkers he's familiar with); erasing the records and pretend he never was an employee makes sense, but actively hunting down Gwen Stacy just because she looked his name up -finding nothing - does not. Imagine if Peter didn't save her and they caught her; there's nothing Oscorp security could have done to her without exposing them much worse.

Stupidity: Harry Osborn quite literally inherited the company his father founded. Presumably he owns or controls a majority of the stocks, because he was appointed CEO by his father and nobody questioned him. However, one of his employees can just instantaneously fire him from his position. We don't know the precise rules and internal regulations of Oscorp, but it's safe to say that this is not how company hierarchy works, especially considered that no charges are pressed on Harry and everyone would be out of a job (including Menken) if the circumstances were public - like having created a monster and waterboarding a guy in their basement.

Urutora sakusen dai ichi gô - S1-E2

Stupidity: Just by glancing from distance at the VTOL's flaming wreckage, the SSSP chief can instantly tell that Hayata is not in it. That is some impressive analytical ability. (00:08:50)

Stupidity: The security fails to block Gwen Stacy at floor 63 of the Oscorp tower. They own the whole building, and they have radios; by the time she reaches the ground floor (which is exactly the floor we see her reach) the building security can intercept her. We saw in the first movie (and it's basic logic and logistic of a company of this size) that they do have security at the entrance - and it's the regular building security that is involved, not a couple of mercenaries.

Stupidity: In chapter 2, when Luke arrives home he thinks "Maybe she went away?" Tanya says "No, I am in the bathroom." Luke then correctly asks if she can read his mind, and she says that she can't, she just reads the signals human send unintentionally. Which is fair, but she's in the bathroom and she can't see him at that point.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14

Stupidity: When the Puppeteer is shot, like any good villain he's actually wearing a bulletproof vest. However, a bulletproof vest is not a magical forcefield that neutralizes kinetic energy; this guy barely flinches when hit. Neither are flames; his fire trick raises a literal firewall, but firewalls are not literal walls, they do not stop bullets. The policemen could easily keep shooting through it (he throws a glove at Kindaichi through it), but they just do not, for no reason.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12

Stupidity: When Kirisawa's body is discovered, it means that he was completely overlooked during the headcount and at every point during the day. With students disappearing left and right, that's a pretty big oversight - that somehow the killer anticipated, because his body discovered last was crucial for the plan.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11

Stupidity: The whole story of the 5 episode arc requires unhealthy amounts of suspension of disbelief; the killer directly challenged the police and announced where and when the murders will take place; at a 3 days prep school camp. Despite that, one of the teachers, a new one at the job even, is allowed to attend the camp wearing a ski mask, supposedly to hide hideous burns, and the police just lets him in without checking. And yes, he's the criminal, not even a red herring. By comparison, in the live version adaptation they check him, and he's wearing prosthetic scars.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10

Stupidity: Paragon of cleverness inspector Adechi somehow did not check for any trap in the mysterious box he received, and brought it to a crowded cafe just, so he could show it to the kids. For the explosive trick to work, the puppeteer needed also to know exactly where Kenmochi would be seated and which seats would later Kindaichi and Miyuki pick, since the box had to be at such an angle that the puppet would be propelled to the exact spot on the roof that acted as podium.

Stupidity: In the scene that presents Sprite for the first time, she changes her appearance right in the well lit doorway. Literally everyone inside the pub can see her. (00:11:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9

Stupidity: Everyone mentions in the first episode that the various doors are made out of different metals (some rather unlikely; a door made out of pure manganese?) but they don't show it, all have the same color and weight (the door made out of lead and the one made of tin would be significantly different, and one is the treasure, 966 kg). More importantly, since it's a known fact that the doors are made out of different metals, each has a number that matches the periodic table, and they are looking for gold, the supposedly hard enigma concocted by the genius alchemist is something a high schooler would figure out in minutes; Miyuki even knows its atomic number by memory when randomly asked.

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Suspension of disbelief is fine for a movie like this, but even as a child I found unbelievably silly the fact that the Ghostbusters use a Nintendo controller to move the Statue of Liberty. The concept is never set up and never is shown properly; all the movie showed and told us was that items possessed by the slime dance wildly to the beat of music. There's no logical (as in, movie internal logic) passage between that and "so we fire up some beats and it won't start dancing to it, but just calmly move according to our inputs on a joystick."

The Hong Kong Kowloon Treasure Murder Case File 1 - S1-E1

Stupidity: Saki is a high-schooler visiting Hong Kong with his parents, but at no point do they communicate; the plot unfolds for days without the slightest mention of them, mentioned again in one throwaway line in the last episode. He even has to sleep on the floor cooped up at the bellboy's house with Kindaichi.

What If... Ultron Won? - S1-E8

Stupidity: For some reason, Ultron's Mind Stone is a death ray thousand times more powerful than anything ever seen; not only it one-shots Thanos wearing all the other stones, but effortlessly dissolves the star-forged Gauntlet that is meant to withstand the power of all gems combined.

Sammo ★

What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath? - S1-E9

Stupidity: Infinity Stones are so particular to each universe that a gem-destroying tool coming from another universe can't do anything to them, but on the other hand Ultron has no problem using them in any other universe, including where The Watcher is hidden, which should be extraneous to space and time much like the TVA (where the stones are worthless paper weights).

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Peter Parker watches Richard Parker's last message, the upload he did on the plane to his super encrypted server. As he does that, the interface used is one of a mail and there's even the sender; "Rich-Park@oscorp.web." So Richard Parker sent his dying message he wanted to keep from the evil corporation...through his evil corporate mail account, and to an account that contains the location of his secret lab, "Roosevelt." (01:32:50)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: In the closet with Peter, Gwen says that "there was an accident in the genomics lab, and they're covering it up." That's a pretty exceptional piece of information that she has, but this bit of information is never explained, investigated, deserves the slightest attention, just because the plot says so. Peter does not even ask "what kind of accident, what happened" or anything. (01:09:40)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Crowds in movies are not renowned for their brilliance, but the crowds in this movie are formed by idiots. Both in the Electro and the Rhino fight, pedestrians are standing by behind strategically placed railings (that have no reason to be there to begin with as these villains appeared unexpectedly), just to witness first-hand from a few meters the lethal powers of rampaging monsters - and they keep their little kids with them too.
