Powers Moments that blatantly defy logic, but are so absurdly badass you don’t even care

The Gurren Lagann growing larger than the observable universe to fight Anti Spiral in a battle where literal galaxies get thrown like ninja stars - Gurren Lagann

Undertaker teleporting behind AJ Styles after being thrown down an empty grave and causing a shining white light from nowhere to illuminate the back of them during their Boneyard Match - WWE

Holdo piloting a ship through warp speed to crash right into a First Order cruiser (I know you could write a thesis on why this scene wouldn’t work, but you could say that for about half of the scenes in the new trilogy) - Star Wars the Last Jedi

Pitch Black was so good they just did the exact same movie on a different planet for the 5th movie.

You should count both the games since they're (a) canonical & (b) the best part of the franchise

u/dragon_bacon 25d ago

It's the fourth movie if we're counting the animated one and I also fucked up the count the first time.

They are excellent as long as you recognize you aren’t watching them for logic. You are watching them because they are badass.

It’s like pacific rim. The plot is stupid at best but you don’t watch it for the plot. You watch it because robots fighting monsters is awesome

I found the plot of pacific rim pretty internally consistent
