It seems that lately I've been noticing how plots of many movies, tv shows and video games could have been avoided and solved quickly. Frozen: If Elsa's parents actually followed the advice of the trolls and taught her that she can learn to control her powers instead of keeping her shut away in her room, becoming all isolated and depressed, maybe the whole place wouldn't have experienced a sudden winter. The bond between the sisters would've been stronger too. Fight Club: It was all that damn doctor's fault. {Spoiler}If he gave the Narrator medication for his insomnia, he wouldn't have attended the cancer support groups, met Marla, Tyler Durden wouldn't exist, Fight Club wouldn't exist, Bob wouldn't have gotten killed and the credit card companies wouldn't have blown up. Instead of treating his patient, that dick doctor tells the Narrator that his condition isn't bad and that there's people worse off. Imagine going to a doctor for a broken toe and instead of helping, he's like "Oh, you should visit dudes who got their legs chopped off by sharks". Breaking Bad: There's two of these. If 'Murica had free health care, Walt's cancer would have been taken care of right away and obviously he wouldn't have to cook meth. {Spoiler}The second one: If Walter had decided to take money from Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz, again he wouldn't have had to cook meth.

As much as I love the original Saw, I can't help but feel things would have gone very differently had that goddamn key not gone down the drain and the explanation they try to tack on in later movies only makes things more confusing.

Yeah that doesn't fit with most of his games where you HAVE to do something insane in order to win. I need you to hack through your limbs with rusty blades... or use the key, whichever, it's cool man.

Had the Umbrella soldiers made sure they killed William Birkin rather than just randomly shorting the shit out of him and leaving him Alive long enough to inject himself with the G virus turning himself into a giant evil tyrant, the events of Raccoon City could have been avoided.

Getting the most known one out:
If Indiana Jones just stayed home and did absolutely nothing at all, the Nazis would find the Ark of the Covenant, bring it to Germany, and destroyed the entire Third Reich.

If the protagonists of FFXIII had worked to achieve their focus from the start, they would have saved me 50+ hours of playing that awful story.

If King Laius and Queen Jocasta had simply raised Oedipus instead of abandoning him to die, he wouldn't have been picked up by other people, raised, and gone on to kill his father and marry his mother. Which was the fate they were trying to avoid in the first place.

Finian's Rainbow. So you could wish and the pot of gold would tell you where it was. So....couldn't you WISH FOR EVERYTHING TO GO BACK TO NORMAL WHERE YOU'RE STANDING? Yeah, I liked this movie mostly for Petula Clark being in it.

The Empire would have been better off if they would have just shot down the escape pod.
I bet the guy who said not to shoot got a nice visit from Darth Vader when they realized what happened.

But god, that plot...

Yeah I played like 3-4 hours of this and just had to stop. Running aimlessly down a hallway while constantly switching between a bunch of different characters that I don't know or care about because they've barely told us anything about them and a bunch of battles that feel more intrusive and pointless than anything else. One of the worst games I've ever bought no doubt

Sarutobi should've had Orochimaru executed when he discovered his experiments, especially what he did with the 60 babies. But he stood there and let him ran off and let him continue making the lives of everyone hell with his experiments.
That's the thing in Hackimoto's work, so long as you have a sob excuse and backstory, everyone will forgive you and ignore what you did, even if you are planning on committing worldwide genocide

Chrono Trigger: If Marle hasn't been so stubborn to want to try out Lucca's Super Dimensional Warp Machine, they never would've ended up traveling through time and having to save the world. And Crono wouldn't have ended up on trial and nearly executed.
Of course then the world would have been plunged into darkness and stuff, but... that wouldn't have been for another 999 years or so, at least.

Twilight, if Edward turned Bella into a vampire when he first met her in the woods.
Titanic, if Rose simply donated the diamond to charity.
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan, if Khan and Kirk arranged for Starfleet to check on Khan's planet every few months when Kirk left him there.

Kyle Reese sticks one future grenade up his butt before time travel and the Terminator is blown up in like 10 seconds.
This only bothers me because part of the plot is based that living tissue is all that can travel through time, but the Terminator gets around it by surrounding metal with flesh. I mean, the fate of Humanity hangs in the balance. Suck it up and stick some super-future-explosive up your butt like a man and take care of the problem.

Jurassic Park/Independence Day, if they listened to Jeff Goldblum.
The Fly, if Jeff Goldblum didn't listen to Jeff Goldblum

In Back to The Future II, if Marty hadn't bought that Gray's Sports Almanac, He would not have needed to go back to 1955 to prevent an alternate 1985 where Biff became rich and powerful.
