1. Good point. But government cover-ups are always a sticking point in movies with big fight scenes. Maybe they had one of those MIB “erase your memory” things?
2. Because if that’s what they did, there would be no movie.
3. Maybe they have very good sonar.
4. Robots should always have hidden gadgets. Doctors should have glasses. Obviously, doctor robots can have glasses that flip into place.
5. Transformers are really the start of the Terminators. Bumblebee could’ve had a bad feeling but not know exactly what was the problem.
6. I thought they meant last of the original Primes (or the Primes that knew about the Matrix). Maybe Optimus was a kid back then - and by kid, I’m thinking they were made not born (kinda like vampires are).
7 & 8. Didn’t know about 7, for all I knew that’s what outside the Smithsonian could look like. And 8, well, that was a bad call.
9. Yes, this was ridiculous.
10. Most of this crap happens in all action movies (clean pants, bandages, extra clothing, etc). This is why movies aren’t like real-life.
Obviously, your suspension of disbelief needs a little work.
Vampires aren’t just sex, they are violence. By providing kids with vampire mythology as a way to explore sexuality, our culture creates another psychological link between sex and violence. Kids that go through puberty reading about Edward Cullen, I predict, will be more likely to think that sex has to be not only rough, but brutal and violent. To give one example from Twilight (spoiler alert), Bella wakes up from her first time having sex with Edward to find her body covered in bruises. What’s upsetting about this plot point is the fact that she loves the experience; this correlation between being badly beaten, essentially, and experiencing sexual pleasure has some disturbing consequences for the young reader.
Another reason Twilight is a terrible example for young girls
This sun is out today. I think this video accurately represents how I feel.
