Plot hole: ***SPOILER ALERT*** The big reveal is that the creatures are actually machines. Nina, a PhD-level scientist, has had a Reaper scale for some time, but she never figures out that it's synthetic and not organic.

The Boys (2019)
Plot hole: Starlight, Kimiko, and Hughie are torturing Tek Knight by transferring millions of dollars to organizations he hates. Even though it's needed to move the plot forward, there is no way they could have known the routing and account numbers for those organizations.

Suggested correction: Both Starlight and Hughie are probably familiar with a lot of organizations that accept donations and gifts through their former jobs as political representatives. Why wouldn't they know the numbers?
Respectfully, that's a big leap. They were political representatives, not members of a trust or charitable foundation. Why would they have memorized the bank account numbers of random organizations? Not to mention the fact that at no time do Starlight or Hughie provide the account numbers to Kimiko. She just starts typing and bam, the money is transferred.

Abigail (2019)
Plot hole: SPOILER ALERT! During the final fight, Joey kills Frank and she reverts back to human form. Abigail tells her she's fine, because Frank was the one who turned her. However, when Frank kills Lambert he does not revert back to human form, even though Lambert was the one who turned him.

Suggested correction: Because it was too late for Frank, who had already turned, Joey hadn't.
If that were the case, then why would Abigail bother explaining to Joey why she reverted back to human form?

Andromeda (2000)
Plot hole: The way slipstream works is wildly inconsistent across the show. Sometimes, they have to travel a significant distance to find the nearest slip point, and other times, when it's required by the plot, there's a slip point conveniently right next to the ship.

Suggested correction: How is this a mistake? Unless the points are evenly distributed and all close to each other, they are going to be different distances away.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Plot hole: In Episode 1-7: The Serene Squall, the Enterprise is at the edge of Federation space, and it is stated that it would take two days for a message to be received by Starfleet. Later in the episode, they have no problem establishing a real-time connection to Vulcan, which, according to canon, is only 16.5 light years away from Earth.

Jurassic Park III (2001)
Plot hole: When the party is attempting to take off after first attracting the attention of the Spinosaurus, no way Cooper could make it to the end of the runway before the plane does.

The Maze Runner (2014)
Plot hole: At one point it is mentioned that they have tried everything to escape the maze, and that it is impossible to climb up because the ivy doesn't grow all the way to the top of the wall. Yet in the aerial shots the ivy is shown reaching the top of the walls.

Wonder Woman (2017)
Plot hole: How is it possible that Diana is unaware of the concept of marriage? She has a grasp of multiple languages and cultures and can recite Socrates. Socrates often spoke of marriage, so even if her people do not marry, it makes no sense that she is completely unfamiliar with this human custom.

Suggested correction: She has never seen a man either. She read about them, but never actually saw one. One might question why she doesn't understand a man if she read about them, and yet she doesn't. Same thing with marriage.
She had never seen a man, but she knew that they existed. She speaks multiple languages, despite never having met someone from any of those cultures. My point is, if she's so well versed in world cultures, how has she never heard of the concept of marriage?

Skyscraper (2018)
Plot hole: The entire plot hinges on the villain's gang obtaining the tablet that allows admin access to the building's systems. However, it can only be unlocked via facial recognition and it is keyed only to Will Sawyer's face. In fact, when they finally do get it, Xia unlocks it by holding it up to Sawyer's face. So what was the point of trying to steal the backpack containing the tablet? Without Will to unlock it, the tablet is useless.

The Fly (1986)
Plot hole: In any given volume of air, there are any number of tiny, living organisms; dust mites, viruses, bacteria, etc. Why did the teleporter combine Seth's DNA only with the fly that was in the chamber? If he had taken the "floating organisms" into account in his calculations and programming, then why would he not have excluded ALL foreign DNA?

Daylight (1996)
Plot hole: The main accident is a crash involving toxic waste, which seals the tunnel, yet no one has any trouble breathing, or even has so much as irritated eyes.
