>>217246773Idiot plot isn’t automatically a bad thing, characters shouldn’t act like robots. They should have flaws which would lead them to making "dumb decisions". If everyone acted 100% rational, most stories wouldn’t exist in general. It’s like when autists think a character making poor judgment in a high intense scenario is bad writing. Humans in real life make mistakes, why should fictional characters be any different

>>217246799
Idiot plot =/= bad writing. Most people are complaining about characters not acting like they would in a certain situation. Like someone said the sopranos fits. Silvio killing big Dom was a fucking retarded decision he made but it was in character what he did considering everything we’ve seen up to then and you can understand why he did it from his perspective
>>217246849>come on nowyes, that is the face you should be making any time you watch any work of fiction. They even tell you this if you read the credits. >these stories are works of fiction for entertainment purposes only and are not meant to be taken seriously in any way. Any similarity to any event or person, living or dead, is purely coincidental. You DO stay and read the credits, don't you anon????
>>217246831A better way to put it is, if the characters behave like real people, the plot doesn't work.Prometheus is a good example - elite scientists consistently break safety protocols and that creates chaos/the plot.
>>217247032>Prometheus is a good example - elite scientists consistently break safety protocols and that creates chaos/the plot.Alien is a good example. Highly trained spaceship crew breaks quarantine protocol. Almost every sci fi / horror story has a "broke the protocol" moment. It is a common element of story telling, when transitioning from Act 1 to Act 2, where there is a breakdown of the status quo.
>>217246782I wouldn't really call it idiot plot but a lot of the major conflicts stem from tiny slights and insults that build up, spiral into a complete mess over time and destroy the relationships between the characters. But Sopranos does it really good in my opinion. It's a spiral of things breaking down and becoming worse and worse overall.
>>217246876Generally people know they're watching fiction but they wouldn't get invested if they didn't take it seriously.
>>217247117But there is more to the plot in Alien. They don't all agree/aren't all scienctists and Ash has a hidden motive to break it. Ash is the one that breaks safety protocol.
>>217247117Prometheus is the better example because they're actually scientists, the Alien crew were little more than passengers. Trained but probably not to a rigorous extent since it wasn't their job, nor could they have expected a black swan like the xenomorph even if they were.
>>217246673Game of thrones which is funny because in the earlier seasons everyone was going on about how smart and realistically written it was
>>217247184The Alien crew were not trained in the same way but Ripley refused to let them on the ship when they returned with Cain and the xenomorph. She was in charge and Ash opened the doors anyway.

>>217246673That partially describes the completely nonsensical and self-contradictory plot of Picard S1 (which was all I could stomach), but it doesn't go far enough. It was a "This happens, and then this happens, and then this happens" plot, where the events/actions that occur aren't the logical consequences of previous events/actions, but simply "business" used to fill time and/or crudely navigate from predetermined waypoint A and predetermined waypoint B.

>>217247032>elite scientistsThey were never implied to be “elite”. They were just scientists (some probably glorified lab assistants) who happened to accept the job from Weyland (which was considered delusional by most people). The scientists were just desperate enough to take a job that they didn’t get proper briefing for until after waking up from space travel
>>217248072NTA, i like prometheus but isnt the lore that weyland basically rules earth? surely they'd have the best of the best in a mission where their leader is trying to find the cure to death
>>217248099this
>>217247117The crew of the Nostromos were the space equivalent of Truckers. Of course they were retards.
>>217248130This. Only people who desperately needed money or need to get away from everything would take that job.
>>217248099I didn’t know this, never got the impression from the movies (the 3 Ridley Scott ones at least). Just that Weyland was an über-rich CEO type that goes nuts and fakes his own death after buying into an ancient aliens schizo theory (that he turned out to be right about).Alien just implies that his future company undergoes a merger with a Japanese one called Yutani and does interstellar mining, with interstellar science and military projects
>>217246673Generation Kill
>>217248130No, they weren't. And you're a moron npc to constantly parrot this idiocy. Next you'll say that it made sense their spaceship looked like a 70's piece of shit while something decades prior had holograms, drones, and nanobots because they had more money.
>>217248099Not at all. That's stupid fan fiction made decades after the fact. Weyland Yutani was simply one out of hundreds of companies that managed the space expansion from Earth. They were never rulers of Earth or some God Emperor governing all mankind.
>>217248665Prometheus isn't canon

And then they split up and went in different directions instead of watching each other’s backs, xD.Aliens is also an idiot plot. Grown, trained marines should have demanded at least basic hazmat protection - something as simple as acid-resistant plastic suits that have been existing IRL for 50 years now
Examples of real-world acid-resistant materials:PTFE (Teflon) - extremely resistant to almost all acidsPVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) - widely used for acid tanks and pipesHDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) - common in chemical containersPolypropylene (PP) - good resistance to sulfuric and hydrochloric acidNeoprene - used in chemical gloves and protective suitsButyl rubber - excellent resistance to strong acidsViton (fluoroelastomer) - high chemical and acid resistance

>>217248837there's the entire sequence of events where they bring that dude puking up blood and seizing into their only escape vessel, slipping in a pool of blood like a banana peel, culminating with the entire thing exploding. "we're a colony ship, why are we investigating a decades old distress signal?" "why are you taking your helmet off on this unknown planet?". half the movie could have "yakety sax" playing over it or some kind of circus music. I know it's been discussed to death but I just watched it again the other night and it's a gag filled comedy that's played completely seriously.https://youtu.be/ZnHmskwqCCQ?si=F19uAL2MqeztXz5d

>>217247117Wow it's almost like it's a plot point in Alien that the droid disobeyed Ripley because he WANTED them to get infected.
>>217249489Ash is indeed saboteur, however Dallas is the main captain whose word is the law, and he's a fucking retard.
>>217246711people make mistakes this is not the same thing, an idiot plot is held together by lack or awareness not ability

>>217247184>>217247258>>217248072>>217248130If Weyland didn't take space travel seriously and was sending out improperly trained dumbasses on missions then that just means the idiot in the idiot plot is Weyland
>>217248988Yeah and they had to kill pussy themselves. That changes nothing. And secondly. it's more implied none of them truly gave a shit. An earner is an earner. Despite tony's talk he would have let vito do whatever the fuck he wanted if it wasn't a stigma

>>217249633The Weyland/Ash plot twist is also dumb.A civilization that has spaceships and androids could have simply sent androids in hazmat suits to capture the aliens.Not to mention: why?Why would they even need the alien? In real life, we already have acid, chemical and biological weapons, nuclear and thermonuclear weapons, and drones.

>>217246673dude, where's my car?
>>217247659Yeah but the whole point of their filmography is idiocy It isn't really a failing, I would say they're the only watchable idiot plots, and dramatic irony isn't necessarily key to an idiot plot. Sometimes dramatic irony is useful for a story to be entertaining, but unnecessary refusal for a character to behave consistently so long as it benefits a story forcing to a conclusion is different.
>>217246673The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
>>217249062This Anakin has every opportunity to not be a retard also
>>217249978Thanks.
>>217247659Bur after reading sure that's the entire fucking joke. But Fargo is about maude or marge actually be an extremely competent cop in the face of ruthless retards. The idiot plot is only the mover for her to figure it out or they'd possible got away with it.
>>217246673Prometheus was the most egregious example for me
>>217249016>something as simple as acid-resistant plastic suitsThe aliens that the marines encountered were unknown by anyone at the time outside of Weyland Yutani's inner circle who had read Ripley's report. When they ask if it's going to be a bug hunt and Lt Gorman replies with his "a xenomorph may be involved" he's literally saying "yes, there's an alien". As in some sort of alien lifeform, not the particular 8 foot tall, black, murder machine with an poison tail that we all know and love.It really shits me that "xenomorph" was just adopted by retards as the name of the aliens. Asking why the marines didn't have acid proof armor is like asking why they didn't have radioactive shit-proof armor. They didn't know about aliens with acid for blood, until Ripley briefed them on the ship when they woke up from cryosleep.
>>217249016It may shock you, but heavily trained professionals make a myriad of mistakes yearly.
>>217246673Star wars prequels.
>>217249062>>217250622>Star wars prequels.First thing I thought of also. The jedi were retarded so that Palpatine could succeed.
>>217246673What it IS:– An idiot plot is when the story only moves forward because characters act stupid in ways they don’t need to.– They already know what’s going on, or could easily know, and the fix is obvious or low-effort.– Nothing external is forcing them to act badly: no time pressure, no deception, no missing information.– The writer needs the problem to continue, so the characters stop thinking or ignore clear solutions.– If the characters behaved like normal, reasonably competent adults, the story would end very quickly.What it is NOT:– A character being dumb, reckless, arrogant, or annoying. Stories always have people like that.– A human error, panic, fear, emotional decisions, or stress-based mistakes. Those are realistic.– Ignorance or lack of knowledge. People can only act on what they know.– A villain manipulating events, lying, hiding information, or setting a long-term trap.– Coincidence, bad luck, or tragedy. Bad outcomes don’t automatically mean bad writing.

>>217246711>Isn't this the same thing as a "comedy of errors"?Comedy or errors can occur to unlucky smart people when circumstances just conspire against them. Idiot plot is more that the idiots themselves, not chance or fate, are the active drivers of the buffoonery, and simply stopping and talking to each other or other simple things that occur to average people would grind it all to a halt. They are related, since some comedies of error have idiots that further things, but a true idiot plot kind of relies on all the participants being too dull to resolve a simple problem.
>>217246673Dude, where my car?
stranger things
>>217246673I also hate the semi related trope where the plot only moves forward because characters don't share relevant information with each other for some reason.
>>217253746I feel like this is just a very specific variant of idiot plot because non-idiots eventually try to share such information and correct mix-ups.
>>217246673I love Frasier but every other episode is about some minor misunderstanding escalating into major catastrophe because no one ever takes a moment to clear the air

>Shitlord, you might have just organized the entire crew into a mutiny, and you're all pointing your guns at me, but I still won't tell you that I have plan>Not even what is my plan, just whether or not I even have one>Why? Check your privilege, flyboy.
>>217246673Harold and Kumar
>>217246673Burn After Reading>Goys are a bunch of fucking dumb animals, see?
>>217258716Yeah; but the Elon Musk proxy super genius who runs the megacorp is retarded too as are the synths and the cyborgs. I don't think there's a single character that's actually intelligent. The supercomputer kids maybe have an excuse of being immature; but the adults don't.
>>217258936the Elon Musk proxy super genius surrounded himself with an army of yes men who tell him he's right even when he's not.
>>217258983That doesn't change the fact that he's retarded though. He doesn't make one intelligent decision in the entire show and he repeatedly fucks things up.
>>217246673So, the plot of Future Man?
>>217259064>He doesn't make one intelligent decision in the entire showHe (supposedly) invented the technology to upload a human consciousness into a machine body. So he possesses technical or scientific intelligence, but no social or emotional intelligence. It seems like some kind of savant syndrome, but they were very careful to never say the word "savant" in the show because they didn't want a bunch of angry letters from autism activists.
>>217246673To be fair, some people are just idiots. Like, lets say you see some police, you're a parent to some kids, you have people depending on you, but you let your rage over police get the better of you and you block their way and impede their job, an illegal choice to begin with putting your own wellbeing in question, and furthermore your childrens financial stability possibly in question, then instead of complying with the police, you try to instead run them over, hitting one of the police to begin with when asked to get out of the car. And instead you get shot.Unrealistic as fuck, right? But it could happen. Maybe, I mean, you'd have to be really fucking stupid to get yourself in this situation, but stupid people exist.
>>217246673Literally every Cohen Brothers film.
>>217259116He's successfully running a company. I don't think he could be a full on autistic savant and do that. He'd just be sitting around in a lab working on projects. The problem I have with him is the disconnect between how intelligent I'm told he is and the stupid decisions he makes on camera.
>>217246673About Time. Kept waiting for it to get good, until I realized it wasn't going to and then I was just hatewatching. Richard Curtis is such a fucking hack.
>>217246673Most tv shows and movies are like this but unintentionally.
Breaking Bad seasons 2-5
>>217246813Most Coen bros movies
>>217246809I have to remind myself of this often. Sometimes I forget that they aren't watching the movie, I am. They are in the movie and they think it's real. They are being played by actors playing pretend.
