He can't be Superman, he wears glasses for God's sake!

Aparently there was an actual reason as to why people can't recognize Superman, some kind of hypnosis I think, but it was so lame they eventually gave upon it, now we have a superhero with stupidest disguise ever surrounded by stupidest people ever.

Which leads us to my question, what are some of the stupidest things you've seen in various medias, comics, games, TV, anything really?

One thing that made me face palm was in Crisis Core when Aerith said she was afraid of the sky... She had NO such qualms about that in the main game, and she even said that she wanted to ride in the Highwind some day! Honestly...

Something superhero related- I recently read an article on Cracked that mentioned some of the most ridiculous weaknesses of super heroes/heroines. One that I did a double take on was that Wonder Woman loses all her powers if her hands are tied up by a man. Wat... Interesting read though.

That one's actually pretty simple to explain actually. The main game was after CC, at which point she'd already gotten over her fear of the sky. In CC Zack compared his eyes looked like the sky, and she admitted that they weren't scary, so it's likely she got over that phobia. Even in CC, she mentions wanting to go to the surface with Zack, even though she was still a bit affraid. After Zack's death, it's likely she continued to associate the sky with his eyes, and in time, instead of fearing the sky, found comfort in it.

Makes sense to me anyways.

Now what I find REALLY stupid given the events of Crisis Core, is Cloud's ****ed up memory in the main game. You'd think he'd remember the guy who saved his life multiple times, took on the entire Shinra army to protect him, taught him everything he ever knew about soldier, passed his dreams and honor on to him, gave him sword, and named him his living legacy for a bit longer than than the few years that passed between the two.

As for other stupid things...

The Green Lantern's ring doesnt work on yellow things according to one particular series. Note to villains in that version of reality, don't wear black to avoid detection, wear yellow! That way even WHEN you get caught, the superhero is powerless to stop you!

In pokemon, why do the villains just surrender when you beat them in a battle. Seriously, you're criminals. Whip out a gun and kill the damn kid. If nothing else beat the crap out of him, you're only twice his age or more and outnumber him a few hundred to one.

When Sephiroth has you all suspended mid air feeling like you're beeing torn apart, why does't he just make with the stabby stabby and be done with it? Jesus christ dude, I understand you're busy and would rather summon Jenova again, but would it really have taken that much time or effort to walk across the room and swing a few times?

In Titanic, would it really have been all that hard for Jack and Rose to take turns on the floating debris so one of them didn't freeze to death?

In Portal, why did it ever seem like a good idea to equip Glados with deadly nerve gas? Sure, they didn't assume she'd turn evil and kill them all, but what other possible purpose could enough nerve gas to flood the entire building serve?

In Titanic, would it really have been all that hard for Jack and Rose to take turns on the floating debris so one of them didn't freeze to death?

Indeed. There was more than enough room on that wardrobe. They could have both snuggled together to share body heat, and chances are they'd have both lived.

Isn't there a part in one of the Twilight movies that Bella is in trouble, and instead of using his super-fast vampire run, he just hops in his car and drives to her? And that part when she cuts her finger on some wrapping paper (which is hard to do anyway!), and he punches her across the room to "save" her from another vampire... only now, she's covered in more blood? Just really counterproductive.

I can't really think of anything now.

If they did that, they would have both frozen to death. However, Jack could have always left Rose there and found something else to float on. He essentially killed himself because he was too stubborn to save himself. That's what you get for being a gentleman.

One of the stupidest things I've ever seen was in both the comic and movie of Daredevil. The guy's power is ridiculous. He's so blind that he can see. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

Another thing I never really understood was in the TV show Lost. Why the hell did Widmore bring Desmond back to the island? I understood why everybody else went back, but I never understood what made Widmore kidnap Desmond, separate the man from his wife and child, and bring him back to the place that he so desperately escaped three years prior.

And finally, from the first Ninja Turtles movie. At the beginning of the movie, Raphael meets Casey Jones in a park. Casey helps Raphael out with a couple of thugs. However, Casey is hiding in a tree, wearing a hockey mask, with a strange assortment of sports equipment that he uses as weapons. What the hell was Casey Jones doing in a tree wearing a hockey mask with a strange assortment of sports equipment?

Fine examples, some of them made me laugh hard.

Team Rocket, Jessie and James to be more precise, spending huge amount of money on various high tech devices just to catch one measly Pokemon, I know it's aimed for younger audience and as such it doesn't really have to make sense, but I always found it to be uber stupid even when I was a kid.

It would be rather stupid if they killed the main guy just like that, but seriously in action movies do any of the bad guys know how to aim. Also, in movies like Bond where villains have opportunity to get rid of the main character, instead of killing him right away they always chose to leave him alone in some kind of trap where he has opportunity to escape. I know different kind of scenario would make these movies a lot shorter, but it's something that always bugged me, I guess it's one of the reason why I don't like action movies.
