Stupidity: It's mostly a fun absurdity, but it is somewhat contradictory to showcase the Ghostbusters being featured as the cover story of every major publication and news outlet, and yet to get help not only they put an ad on the newspaper, but a single person applies for the job (which is all it took for them to accept).

Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20

Stupidity: Kindaichi has to talk to the lawyer of the case from three years back to learn about the gruesome details of the torture on Marina. However, those would be in possession of the police as well, and he has their full cooperation. (00:11:20)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Scream is always considered a parody of the genre; many deaths are grounded in reality, but the one at Jennifer's house it just isn't, since for that to happen the killer needed to know that one of the guests he scared out of the house would have to go inside the kitchen (a different room, further inside) to look at the remaining page, be unaware of the gas and light something to see it, instead of bringing it outside or using a portable flashlight like it happened earlier. None of that was predictable.

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The killer manages to surprise Stone talking to him on the phone in the middle of the night without Stone managing to hear him; he was outside the trailer with the open door. (00:42:00)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: The campus is on lockdown, police has been roaming the premises, but the killer can just turn on the lights of theater building, turn up the speakers, and nobody except the main characters shows up for it.

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2

Stupidity: When Akechi tells his men to look for Kindaichi in all the possible places where a person might hide, Kindaichi with his bright yellow shirt is behind a metal staircase 2 meters away from him - a metal staircase with gaps between the steps, and some of the policemen are facing him. (00:20:15)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2

Stupidity: Tsusuki shows up to save Kindaichi even though he had no way to know where he would be. Tokyo is no small town, and Kindaichi was escaping from the police after receiving the package.

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1

Stupidity: Kindaichi behaves in a criminally illogical way in this fourth parter episode. The original victim told 4 separate people some sort of keyword for the party, each one linking to another person. Kindaichi after at least the second if not the first victim could and should have asked EVERYONE (he had every opportunity for that) if they received such a 'password' by Tachibana before he died. Instead, he pointlessly follows the trail of breadcrumbs and two if not three people die for nothing.

Stupidity: When the Jada Pinkett and her boyfriend are outside the theater, they are part of a long line. They get their tickets at 9:50, but when they enter the movie, which is in a one-night only sneak preview event, is already running. The event in general is completely absurd especially for a premiere, since everyone in the audience acts like savages (but they shut up Maureen the moment she says something). It is also a movie based on a gruesome tragedy with real people killed barely a couple years before, where they hand stabby props.

Sammo ★

Stupidity: In the original novel, the attempt on Mrs. Doyle at the temples was made rolling a boulder off a cliff. In this adaptation, the culprit is said to 'dislodge' a large stone from the temple; you can however see that the stone is already dislodged and sticks out from its place on the pillar, and he had no way to know that the Doyles would be in that particular spot, making this attempt to Linnet's life rather nonsensical (requiring also herculean strength, no pun intended). (00:47:40 - 01:39:30)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Dewey and Sidney jumpscare each other at the front door. There's just no possible logical reason for a deputy (or ANYONE) to be holding the mask the way Dewey is in the scene. If he were leaning against the door, he would have lost his balance or reacted in any way to the door shifting. (00:30:30)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Gale and Dewey review Joel's footage. Joel is technically a professional cameraman working for a local network affiliate. Inexperienced, but he's still working with a professional camera, he has his own van...and yet the footage the two are watching is of poor quality; it would have been unusable for the TV station. The killer's footage, shot with inferior equipment and under more trying circumstances, is the same quality if not better. (01:17:00)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: When Thena suffers from her first spell of Mahd WY'ry, Ajak knows what it is and flat out tells her that they have the technology on the ship to wipe her memory off to start over. Somehow none of them asks themselves any question about any of this. They all think that this mission was their first mission, but for the plot to work everyone in those boring 6500 years together must have never talked to each other about their past - Sersi accepts instantly the fact that her home planet doesn't exist, so she doesn't seem to have any strong recollection about it. And nobody ever inquires Thena about those memories of other planets ending up in disasters.

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Phastus' partner learns with astonishment about the giant-shaped rock in the Indian Ocean from the TV and asks "You guys did that?" He must have lived under a rock to be asking that in a scene that takes place two weeks after the events and without a doubt has been all over the news ever since. (02:16:45)

Sammo ★

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.

Sammo ★

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.

Sammo ★

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.

Sammo ★

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)

Sammo ★

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.
