Have you ever heard someone say that their life is “like a movie” because of all the unbelievable things happening to them? Movies are indeed as good as their ability to leave a viewer shocked, touched or in consideration. And of course, I guess most of us have that friend or we are that friend that loves to be a “movie critic”, pointing out every little detail that is wrong in the movie. Characters going straight into a deadly trap, stopping their car in the woods in the middle of the night, then running like Usain Bolt himself from death, and of course, managing to escape it. Sometimes the movie plot is so involving that we might not notice some little details that make the movie scenario less relatable to real life.

Having this in mind, Reddit users shared their Shower Thoughts on some strange movie plot choices that actually make sense in real life. From Bruce Almighty changing the way we spell B-E-A-UTIFUL to kids sent to die in a fight in The Hunger Games, showing that this was actually a pretty common practice throughout our history.

If wookies have a 400 year life span, then Han Solo is basically like Chewbacca's third dog.

Even though the number and the variety of these thoughts are high, one of the most commented movies is about wizard Harry Potter. The movie is based on the seven books written by J.K Rowling throughout the years 1997-2007. The very first movie was released in 2001. The success of the series of books and movies about the magical world is seen to this day. Harry and two other main characters, Rony and Hermione, have fans all around the world and one of the strongest fandoms one could imagine.

The rich sending the children of the poor to die in combat in the Hunger Games is actually the norm throughout human history.

The townsfolk might have liked Belle from Beauty and the Beast more if she hadn't constantly danced around town singing about how boring they all were.

The story tells us about a boy who lives in miserable conditions when one day he finds out that he actually is a wizard and the rest is history. Even though the plot of the movies is full of fantasy and magic elements that necessarily should make sense, some members of Reddit point out some surprising but logical ideas that get to question the world depicted in these series.

Harry Potter is way too emotionally stable for a kid raised by a family who hates him.

If a sequel to a movie doesn’t have the screenwriters or directors of the first movie in it, it’s basically just a high-budget fanfiction

Superman’s most unappreciated power is his extraordinary fine motor skill. He has almost unlimited strength and can literally move mountains, yet is also able to shake someone’s hand without inadvertently ripping off their arm.

Some comments notice that these characters have the ability to stop serious world problems such as shortage of food, energy and space, but instead are concerned about totally different matters. Some people were questioning the privacy issues with actual owls delivering mail. And have you ever thought about how hard it would be for the main three to find a job after school as they barely went there and did not take any exams?

In Home Alone, Uncle Franks says “look what you did you little jerk” to Kevin’s face. Meanwhile Kevin’s dad just sat there while his brother verbally abused his son. Peter McCallister was a bad dad BEFORE he forgot Kevin on 2 separate trips. Maybe that’s why Kevin was acting out in the first place.

The most futuristic thing in the Star Wars universe is probably that planets are always seen as one unity and not hundreds of countries.

In the Harry potter universe, couples could take polyjuice potion and swap bodies then have sex to see what it's like from both perspectives.

In hindsight, Simba running away after Mufasa died was a good move. If he came back without his dad after his whole "I just can't wait to be king" song, he might have been a prime suspect.

Considering that Cinderella's glass slipper did not turn back to her normal after midnight when it fell off, if Cinderella had completely stripped off she could probably have kept the whole dress.
