Have you even read lord of the rings? The Eagles are servants of the valar. and are not allowed to interfere with the events of mortals.

[i]Battleship[/i]- How did everyone on board the missile frigates forget that they had missiles?

If guns exist in the world of Harry Potter, as seen in the first book when Vernon buys one and Hagrid bends the barrel, how come Dumbledore didn't just give Harry a gun to kill Voldemort with? Bullets would travel too fast to deflect with a spell.

Why Doesnt the Covenant just deploy their troops at the ONI facility roof/back hangar if they were already open and completely undefended at the time? Why deploy them on a bridge and make the Covenant fight their way to the ONI facility if they just end up dropping troops off their anyways? ODST logic in a shell nut

How come no one who's serious in RvB just kill all the comedic characters to solve the problems? Its a comedy series, its supposed to be a huge joke.

[quote]How come the Cog's don't just use The Hammer of Dawn in every battle with the Locust?[/quote] The HoD is dependent on an aging network of satellites that aren't in geosynchronous orbit. To use the system, a working satellite needs to be overhead, with a clear line of sight between the target and open sky. [quote]How come Star Fleet just wont use EMP's on The Borg?[/quote] I don't know much about Star Trek, but I'd assume the Borg know how to build Faraday cages.

Edited by SabreJ6: 5/6/2013 2:24:07 AMHere's a plothole for ya. In MW2, if Makarov was such a well known criminal why did Russia go to war with the US when they coulda looked at the security film from the Zakhaev Airport and know that Makarov was leading the terrorist attack?

How come no one really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Why doesn't every Bond villain just SHOOT Bond during the obligatory "capture him and explain my evil plan" scene? On second thought, why do they even explain the evil plan first?
-
Well, to elaborate on Ripley... Why does Weyland Yutani pay alien killing Ripley to not kill aliens on LV 426?
-
It's called disregarding disbelief. You aren't meant to ponder those things.

[quote]How come Star Fleet just wont use EMP's on The Borg? [/quote] The Star Trek "Destiny" Trilogy novels ended with the Borg being eliminated. It also used the NX-02 Columbia from Star Trek Enterprise as an essential part of the story.

Beggin' your pardon, but uh, we don't normally wear clothes.

MLP: FIM. Rarity owns her own clothing shop and she makes cloths. But she is always naked and everybody us in Ponyville is naked.

[quote]Why didn't Frodo just fly those winged monsters all the way to Mt. Doom? [/quote] The eagles did not like the other creatures of middle earth, they only liked Gandalf because he saved the eagle lord's life. [quote]Why didn't somebody just use Avada Cadavra on Voldemort's snake? [/quote] Horcrux's can only be killed in specifically magical ways, such as basilisk venom or goblin weaponry, not something as basic as a spell.

Edited by Captain_Ginyu: 5/5/2013 12:49:30 PM[quote]Why doesn't Goku just use Spirit Bomb in every fight since it's an OHK?[/quote] Because it takes a long time to charge up. Also when he's charging it he's open. When he was charging one up against Frieza. Frieza was able to land attack after attack on him and Goku was able to do nothing about it. Also the attack is slow moving. If you have a fast enough enemy or one that has a distance from the bomb. They can simple dodge it which means all that time and energy was for nothing. The other thing is that you have to have enough energy to kill the person. If you don't have enough you simple hurt the person like Vegeta and Frieza. Depending on the bomb you will have to ask random people to give you their energy. And a lot of them won't do that. The only reason why the people of Earth did was because of Mr Satan.

Edited by Madman Mordo: 5/5/2013 1:54:09 PMI'm only going to counter the ones I know about. [quote]Why didn't Frodo just fly those winged monsters all the way to Mt. Doom?[/quote] Because the ring corrupts even the most noblest of creatures. Actually, especially the most noblest of creatures. This is why Gandalf refuses the ring absolutely. The Eagles aren't any different. [quote]Why didn't somebody just use Avada Cadavra on Voldemort's snake?[/quote] It was a horcrux. It had to be destroyed by the sword of Gryffindor or a Basilisk tooth. [quote]Why doesn't Goku just use Spirit Bomb in every fight since it's an OHK?[/quote] Because it takes like 298817897189109 million years to charge. It may as well be rendered a useless attack unless the opponent is practically immobile. [quote]Why didn't Ripley just kill the Alien Queen right away?[/quote] Because she was aware there was eggs and [i]lots[/i] of guards protecting the Queen. [quote]Why would Bane give Bruce a doctor and an exit out of prison if he wants him to suffer?[/quote] That's the point. Giving him meaningless hope [i]is[/i] suffering. Probably the most effective way there is to it. [quote]Why didn't The Avengers just use The Hulk on Loki when they had him in custody if it would just end the war sooner?[/quote] ....You went full retard. 1) They didn't know how to control Hulk. 2) It would be completely counter intuitive to release an uncontrollable, unstoppable beast just to kill Loki of all people. 3) They wanted him alive for questioning. 4) Thor wouldn't have had any of it. 5) Killing him probably wouldn't have stopped anything. [quote]How come the Cog's don't just use The Hammer of Dawn in every battle with the Locust?[/quote] There were limited satellites and most fighting took place underground.

Edited by Emperor Bell: 5/5/2013 11:13:41 AM[quote]Why didn't The Avengers just use The Hulk on Loki when they had him in custody if it would just end the war sooner?[/quote] They were trying to treat him like a proper prisoner, I guess. [quote]How come the Cog's don't just use The Hammer of Dawn in every battle with the Locust? [/quote] It can't be used unless the satellite is directly overhead. [quote]How come Master Chief never bothered to snipe the High Prophets? [/quote] Did he get an opportunity? One to add to the list, though: How did Ben poop when he was held prisoner in the Hatch? He didn't leave the cell for about a week and there isn't any poop inside nor poop buckets.

"Why didn't the SG-1 team just send Nukes through their Stargate to J'Fah worlds? " They tried that once, it ended with Apophis' fleet coming in and curb stomping the entire human race out of existence
-
"There is no true despair without Hope" Bane give Bruce a doctor and a way out to give him hope, so he can go through true suffering when he fails.

Edited by DragonzZilla: 5/5/2013 6:08:17 AMThe COG didn't use the Hammer every time because one, they would need a targeting laser in pristine condition (which is a challenge in and on itself) and they're at the mercy of passing satellites. If a satellite isn't nearby, no Hammer. Plus, would you really need the Hammer to kill a few drones? Because if every game, movie or show used logic, it would be awfully boring.

In [i]The Fifth Element[/i], when Lilo was reading the entire encyclopedia of everything in alphabetical order, why was she only disgusted and upset when she read the entry for war? Before reading it, she would have read about r@pe, murder, gun, violence, bomb, battle, holocaust, genocide, torture etc.

How did the Covenant appear more fanatical to the Master Chief?

Edited by Prototape: 5/5/2013 3:34:17 AM[quote]Why didn't Frodo just fly those winged monsters all the way to Mt. Doom?[/quote] Nazgul, large army of Orks and Uruk-Hai. The only reason they were able to swoop in to save Sam and Frodo in the end is because the entire army had dispersed. [quote]How come Master Chief never bothered to snipe the High Prophets?[/quote] Multiple attempts were made to take out the High Prophets, however they rarely left themselves exposed. [quote]Why doesn't Goku just use Spirit Bomb in every fight since it's an OHK?[/quote] Because he's part Saiyan. They love the thrill of the fight, and that would be regarded as a cheap shot. Not only that, it's better that he uses it when they're weakened rather than using it when they're at their full power. [quote]Why didn't Ripley just kill the Alien Queen right away?[/quote] If I could choose between running away and avoiding a fight with that thing, I would have. No one could have expected the Queen to latch onto the dropship and fly back with them to the Sulaco. I would have done the same thing as her: Get the hell out and let the thermo-nuclear explosion take care of the rest. [quote]Why would Bane give Bruce a doctor and an exit out of prison if he wants him to suffer?[/quote] I imagine he wanted to keep Bruce alive, but still that was a really bad lapse in judgement. You have a point on that one. [quote]Why didn't The Avengers just use The Hulk on Loki when they had him in custody if it would just end the war sooner? [/quote] Because Banner was just there as a scientific adviser, they didn't want him to turn into the Hulk. And once he did turn into the Hulk, it's not like they could expect him to sit there while they formulate a plan. [quote]Who threw the last spear at Asuka?[/quote] I did. In all seriousness, it's been a while since I've watched NGE so I don't know. [quote]How come the Cog's don't just use The Hammer of Dawn in every battle with the Locust?[/quote] The game would have been really boring if that's all they did. That's one of those necessary holes you have to live with. [quote]How can people understand R2 and not know everything about Anakin in Episodes IV-VI? His memory wasn't wiped. [/quote] Because no one asked.

[quote]Why didn't Frodo just fly those winged monsters all the way to Mt. Doom? [/quote] -Fell Beasts would give them a run for his money. -Middle Earth is huge. These eagles would have to stop at one point; a perfect point to be ambushed. They're not hard to miss, and Sauron's servants are everywhere. This is heavily implied in the books. -Sauron would see them, easily. -The Eagles don't like the other species too much, only Gandalf, because he saved the leader of the Eagles once. They're not his personal taxi service.
