Most obvious plot hole.

The Sword of Truth series, but Terry Goodkind. Just the whole series. Nothing stays consistent.
But the biggest one, *Spoiler Alert* is when Nicci finds out that Richard did not actually cause Darken Rahl's death, because the Book of Counted Shadows wasn't really what it seemed. But killing Rahl is what made Richard's gift "activate," which was why he had to go to the Old World. And if he hadn't gone to the Old World, he never would have destroyed the barrier. And if he didn't destroy the barrier, there was no way Jagang could have invaded, and that invasion was the entire point of the series. So by saying that Richard did not kill Rahl, you essentially are saying that the entire series should not have happened.

There was the prophecy of the Sacred Beast that will free the Twili. The prophecy was fufilled by TP-Link when the Triforce of Courage gave him that form instead of letting him turn into a spirit like everyone else. (so, "Because destiny says so").
Out of Universe:
The wolf is a symbol of Courage, which is Link's piece of the Triforce. Also, in A Link to the Past, humans will change shape when they enter the Dark World (for the record, it is not the same as the Twilight Realm), so it may also be a refernce to another game in the series.
Actually i'm pretty sure the eagles were sent by Radagast, the brown wizard from Gandalfs order. Talking to animals was kind of his thing and he used moths to send messages over long distance.bahumat42 said:

Pikachu's big city adventure: How were the two pichu brothers able to use their thunderbolt attack repeatedly WHEN EVERBODY KNOWS A PICHU CAN ONLY USE THAT ATTACK ONCE BEFORE FAINTING??!

I don't get how Jesus dying helped people be forgiven for their sins, I thought he died because a bunch of Romans and Jews didn't like him.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Lisbet has an opportunity to kill this guy responsible for murdering several young women, but instead simply gives him a knock on the head before letting him get away the first time.
In the same movie, the undercover journalist is speaking with a man he knows to be part of the family he is investigating for the string of murders, and reveals all that he knows to the man who just so happens to be the murderer! Even if he wasn't "the guy," who in their right mind spills the beans to a member of an influential family threatened by your investigation?

This has to be the biggest plot hole in the major event of a video game story of all time. Surprised nobody else mentions it.Amyler said:
For those of you who don't play Final Fantasy games, there is this very useful inventory item called Phoenix Down that you can use to revive fallen allies. Players are careful to save their Phoenix Downs for when they characters are killed as it helps you progress through the game. In Final Fantasy VII part of the story is that this character needs to die. No matter how many Phoenix Down you have you cannot revive her (as it would spoil the story) even if you have been able to previously revive other dead characters with this item.
Modern Warfare 2: Several.
How did price fire the nuke from the sub alone? Two keys at opposite ends of the craft.
America gets nuked. What do they do? Nothing.
They can read the location of an arms dealer off an exploded bullet casing, yet they can't fucking tell that Shepard perpetrated the whole thing by sending Allen on that mission.

Well, actually, the part about Vader being Luke's father was a part of the plot all along and that was explained to an acceptable degree within the trilogy.Rationalization said:
The bit about the emperor plotting millions of people against each other is discontinuity between the old and new trilogy and the Death Star being blown up was one weakness that could only be found through careful analysis of the battlestation's plans. Top it off, the emperor was probably not a mechanic, so there's no reason to expect him to know about it. It also doesn't help that Lucas portrayed the Jedi as legendarily thick in the prequels. I mean, Mace Windu has a line "I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi." What, he needed to use the force to see what anyone paying the slightest bit of attention could see? Bah!
The point of no return was a belief held by the Jedi. I always took Vader's redemption not as a point of discontinuity, but proving that there really is no point-of-no-return and the Jedi were simply wrong about it.
No DNA protection? That's a retrospective plot hole because at the time, we hadn't developed that kind of technology and it hadn't really been discussed in sci-fi literature, so it was one of those things Lucas probably just didn't think of. It is still a plot-hole, though, I will give you that.
The idea of the the emperor being able to find Luke easily is treating the force like all purpose plot resolution. There were lots of factors working against the emperor, none the least of which being the light side of the force itself (and Obi-Wan being a part of it) potentially clouding his ability to see everything. The emperor was clever and had a lot of knowledge and power in the Force, but he wasn't invincible or all-knowing. He just thought he was.

Five robots go underwater, one mook dies to resurrect Megatron.
Military goon yells out that six are coming back up.
5 - 1 + 1 = 5

1. Why would they want to beat up everyone? Its the same as askin why Goku didn't kill everyone once he mastered how to be a super saiyan.Darth Kitty said:
2. Pan snuck aboard the ship the Goku and Trunks were using to go save the world, and Goen stayed because he had a girlfriend and didn't want to leave her.
3. WTF? Why shouldn't Pan be alive?
4. Gohan (almost) died fighting Majin Buu but was saved by Supreme Kai before he slipped into deaths clutches. During his short stay on the Kai planet, he had his powers unlocked while Trunks and Goten (I'm assming that those two are the brats you speak of) had to buy some time for Goku and Gohan to return. (Goku was given a new life by Elder Kai[footnote]He was another Supreme Kai that was on the Kai planet[/footnote], and Gohan was healed to full health (he didn't die remember?) and they were transported back to Earth separately.
