For example, I don't understand fully why Shepard betrayed Task Force 141 in CoDMW2. I know it was to increase recruits and nationalism, but why did he kill British soldiers?
Shepard was behind the whole fiasco: he leaked the intel on the undercover operative in the mission 'No Russian' (airport shooting), he was the mastermind who laid the groundwork for the war and provided the opening spark. Task Force 141 was getting close to uncovering this, and in fact did (albeit around 5 minutes too late). Shepard could not allow the knowledge of his actions, along with the necessary proof, to reach the ears of any high-ranking officer: that would have screwed over his entire plan, as he would not have become the praised war-hero. The fastest and easiest way for Shepard that guaranteed the USA high-command would never hear of his duplicity was to kill off the members of Task Force 141 the way he did: go in, execute them, make up a story of coming in too late to save them, say a few nice words and everyone will say they are sorry you just lost such a good bunch of soldiers.
why was he, a man whom's main force was annihilated in the blink of a eye, something that could easily (and did) warp one's mind even put in charge of the two most badass BRITISH soldiers evar whom failed by a short period of time to give intel that would have saved HIS men...
and really, why would be become the national hero? wouldn't the commander of the national guard shine here, or more likely, the brave commander(s) whom would have rose above and beyond the call of duty in the extraordinary situation..?
he couldn't be any more a hero than Teddy Roosevelt...shit, wait, teddy's fucking badass though, Sheppard's got nothing on him.
Why didn't the summon all the Jedi to the temple first, instead of having the beacon put in place afterwords, leading to a galactic manhunt. Fewer would have gotten away
The Rebel Alliance would have failed without Luke Skywalker. If Luke hadn't found Han Solo, he wouldn't have helped the Alliance. Darth Vader and the Emperor would have lived, the Death Star wouldn't have been blown up. So they brought Luke Skywalker up.
Wouldn't the eagles simply have been attacked by the wraithlords on their flying.. thingies?
Also, wouldn't the eagles also have been corrupted by the ring? I thought that hobbits were supposed to be espcially resistant to the ring. Yes they are corrupted by it over time, but the eagles would of been corrupted much, much quicker, delivering the ring straight to sauron.
The Ringwraiths were limping home slowly at the time. Also, since Frodo was carrying the Ring, he would be the only one being corrupted. Also, the corruption was a long and slow process that was sped up by fatigue, weakness, and proximity to Mordor. Since they only took 15 minutes to get there and they rode the whole way, the Ring wouldn't have had time to drive him crazy. It still would have been hard to drop it, but not impossible.
About Twilight.
It's hard to find any plot holes in both the movies and books. Which sounds impressive, until you realize that there has to be a plot first. No plot = No plot holes.
You'd think that millions of hump sucking drones who follow this collection of Meye's personal wanking material, would catch onto this little mistake. But no, it turns out.
Firstly, neutrinos do not interact with matter. It makes the entire premise of the movie irrelevant but that's just one of those things in Hollywood.
Secondly, the tidal wave was said to be 1500 meters high. Everest is 8000 meters high. How did the water get up there? Who knows?
Thirdly, where did all that water come from? It didn't drain straight away so it must be a solid body of water that is at least 6000 meters on top of the pre-disaster sea level. Lets not do the maths on that one, the volume of water just isn't on the earth.

No no no, the whole thing IS a plot hole. How can the Vampires constantly change their identities? Why is there no sun AT ALL ever in that little city? Not to mention that Stephene Meyer pulls a deaus ex machina every third chapter, making even more plot holes. Confused!

I never understood why in District 9 the aliens were such wimps and never fought back against their human oppressors, despite the fact they had a gi-normous ship (which undoubtedly would be filled with totally awesome alien technology), far better weapons (despite looking like fancy Nerf guns), and they were extremely strong and agile - and there was apparently A QUARTER OF A MILLION OF THEM.
If he's so veeeery dangerous, why didn't they install a camera in his cell.. or made a guard watch him all the time. It would've resolved everything so easily and fewer people would've died.
What I always wondered was in Deathnote when Mikami comes at the end and finishes the series, why'd he come in the first place? Did Light tell him to, I don't remember him being told about the meeting. How did everyone know Mikami was gonna arrive.

Oh, ok thank you I get that now. But I'm still wondering why he started everything? Just so he could get more recruits and be a hero, since he lost so many men 5 years ago?
If the soul catcher thingy was meant to give the machines a soul so they wouldn't do bad things, then why is it that when Spider-HAL sucked the soul everyone, it didn't stop? And if it sucked out all of parts of the dude's soul, it would be ok? And I think it was in a better position to rebuild the world than some sack people.

I'm thinking it's because he flipped. He lost a whole bunch of troops in the name of protecting his country and what did the civilians and press do? Nothing. No recognition for the fallen, no 'this is a tragedy' newslines, no memorial, nothing. And yet, when a dozen civilians die, the headlines are all over it and national sympathy is just overpouring.
He couldn't stand this and lost a few important screws in the head. He wanted to teach the american nation that soldiers are humans as well and thus have value. Start a war where the Americans are the ones being attacked, and people will flock in as volunteers. Once they have been in the action so to speak, they will not dare dishonor soldiers or treat them as mere numbers. Because they would have been there and would know the war for the hell it is.
You know, all of that could have bin avoided if ghost was faster on the draw. And I never understood why you couldent just gun down makarov and his crew befor he killed anyone, instead you just had to roll with it.......and then get shot in the head and killed!

As much as I like those lightside Force folks, I have to agree it was the Rebel Alliance that stopped the Empire.
Without the rebels Luke would not have the support to be as effective as he was.
Yoda was the super bomb master. Obi was the next best even when the Jedi had numbers. They spent 20 years hiding and waiting.
Sure in combat a Jedi (luke/Vader) was necessary to kill Palpatine. But Palpatine (as any leader, even in our RL world) can not hold power without power perceived by the masses. Generally by the movies, pretty much every body hated him. He did not even have full control (Hutts).
His whole power revolved around intimidation. His army was made by the same societies that didn't like him. A coup was inevitible. Using the Deathstar on every system that opposed him would eventually would leave him powerless. If he used it to destroy all those opposing him there would have been nobody left to rule over. Plus that action would create decsent in his ranks. How man Stormtroopers might have come from Alderan. Or the next system he would use it on.
Think about the collapse of the Roman Empire. They expanded by conscripting those they conquered. Eventually they were so dilluted from the original force that they broke off into their own forces (warlords) and Rome lost control.
Of course Ceaser didn't have knowledge of the Force. So maybe I am wrong.
Now this is true, but the Death Star was the intimidation model of the century. It could blow up planets in the blink of an eye! No one would stand against it. Also, the empire had enough money to not only build the Death Star, but to rebuild right after it got destroyed!
