general media Most-Glaring Plothole(s) Ever

In the CSI Miami episode "A Few Dead Men," the wrongly convicted guy ends up having to go back to prison for killing one of the actually guilty guys in a fit of anger.

 

Plothole: I'm pretty sure the former could've just pled out in exchange for credit for time already served.

In 'Looper' one of the characters communicates with his future self by carving a message on his arm, which then appears on his future self's arm in his (the future version's) present, guiding him on the right way to go.

 

Surely from the point of view of the future character, the scars would have been on his arm ever since he carved them there in the past?

Starfox Adventures is full of them, though this was really the result of Nintendo/Rare needing to rush it out after M$ bought em out, more noticeable when you dig into the game's data which include tons of unused lines and other stuff(which includes Krystal being playing a bigger role)

 

One of the biggest plotholes is how Fox knows who Krystal is despite never even meeting

The Terminator series is a feast of plotholes. I've never seen time travel done so badly. The whole story begins with a paradox and just keeps going downhill from there. What a mess!  :derp:

 

To the point where Genisys flat-out reset the entire canon, no less.

Doctor Who: Specials with multiple incarnations of the Doctor. I know they do it for the fans, but nonetheless, it's most certainly a paradox to meet multiple alternate versions of yourself and hang around with them... Doesn't make me like them much less though.

 

Also, during "The Web Planet" when the First Doctor denied he's ever been to Vortis even though he had been there three times. They did a lazy job of trying to fix it too that made it make even less sense to me. On top of that, he also apparently knew that the atmospheric pressure was high before getting out of the TARDIS, while "not knowing where he was."

The TARDIS does have scanners for that kind of thing,  you know

 

As for the meeting himself and how that works...well, I suggest you watch the mini-episode "Time Crash" and pay attention during "The Day of the Doctor"

 

"You remembered being me watching you doing that? You only knew what to do because I saw you do it."

 

It's not something you should think too hard about

Another mind screw is the Series 5 Finale

 

"Hello, I'm the Doctor from the future. Use my sonic screwdriver to get me out of the Pandoria so we can put your dead wife inside, which will hold her for 2000 years until your wife's seven-year-old self touches it and revives her. Make sense? No? Too bad, it's show time."

Star Trek Generations is basically just a network of plot holes that they somehow made a film out of.  The villain's means of entering the Nexus, the behavior of the Nexus itself, Picard's use of the Nexus' time traveling properties, the fight with the Klingons, even the decision to bury Kirk under some rocks.  None of it really makes any sense.  Its my personal choice for worst Star Trek movie, yes even worse than Final Frontier and Nemesis (which also has a lot of plot holes).

Well when it regards to FIM itself, Starlight's backstory raises a lot more questions than it answers.

Essentially all we are given is that when she was a child she was BFF's with Sunburst, one day he got his cutie mark, and than had to leave to go to Celestia's school or whatever.

And then we know absolutely nothing else between that event and her becoming a psychopathic cult leader.

Like was Sunburst her only friend, did she have any other friends or family members in her life, what other events could have lead to her hating cutie marks, and lead to her becoming an Amon wannabe.

I would be willing to accept that event being the straw that broke the camel's back, but I would still need a lot more to her story to buy her motivations for becoming evil.

Also how did she become so magically gifted, like to the point where she is somehow able to defeat an alicorn princess, former student of Princess Celestia, and former element of magic, in a battle.

The Matrix. There is no reason to keep the humans alive. Conservation of energy dictates that it costs more energy to make food to feed humans than you get from them. And even so, why not just put them in a brain dead coma?

My headcanon: She actually didn't become that way until after she got Map-boosted enough for her time spell.
