....That still doesn't make any of those things we've mentioned plot holes, no matter how questionable or dumb they may be. If someone does something that doesn't make sense to you, that doesn't make it a plot hole. Scenario 1: We're on the 100th floor of a building. A bomb is about to explode on the second floor in 10 minutes, unless I can defuse it in person. Thankfully, there's a working elevator. I take the elevator down to the second floor, defuse the bomb with minutes to spare, we all go home happy, everything makes sense. Conclusion: NO PLOTHOLE Scenario 2: We're on the 100th floor of a building. A bomb is about to explode on the second floor in 10 minutes, unless I can defuse it in person. Thankfully, there's a working elevator. But for whatever inane reason, I'm holding an idiot ball. So instead of taking the elevator, I somehow run down 98 flights of stairs and defuse the bomb with seconds left, out of breath and sucking down wind like a vacuum. We all go home happy, but the viewer is still screaming at me and facepalming because I could have easily taken the quicker elevator like any sane person would. However, it's still possible in this scenario. Conclusion: NO PLOTHOLE Scenario 3: We're on the 100th floor of a building. A bomb is about to explode on the second floor in 10 minutes, unless I can defuse it in person. There are no working elevators. The doorway leading to the stairwell is locked. I spend the next 9:45 seconds trying to get down to the second floor, but it took me that much time to break open the stairwell door on Floor 100. We're doomed. The camera zooms in on the bomb's timer, showing tick down all the way to 4...3....2....1..... But wait, I defused it just in the nick of time, with a fraction of a second left. We all go home happy, the day is saved. But wait... How the hell did I get down 98 floors in 15 seconds!? That's impossible! Conclusion: PLOTHOLE |
Like I said, when you die, a plothole emerges.
One scene forces you to run through an extremely hot area, which is quickly killing you. You have a varia suit which will stop all heat damage, but choose not to use it and then die.
Also, the reason given for not using weapons is to not unintentionally harm potential survivors, how does Samus' non-offensive gear fit into this explanation?
