As it turns out, there are plenty of movies that break their own rules – and a bunch of film fans have got together to point out the most egregious examples, ranging from Star Wars to Marvel and beyond.
"In Ant-Man, we are repeatedly told that all of the people and items that are shrunk/enlarged weigh the same as when they are their normal size," says one person. "We find out that Hank Pym has a shrunken down Sherman Tank that he has on a key ring, which he walks around with at all times. Last time I checked a Sherman tank is heavy as hell, and a normal person can't carry one, even if it was shrunk down, because we are told that the items weigh the same, regardless of what their size is. And don't even get me started on the nonsense that they have in the second Ant-Man movie, where the characters wheel around a literal 10 story building and about a dozen cars in a small briefcase."
"The Rise of Skywalker: 'Kill me… and my spirit will pass into you.' Well that was a crock of shit," says someone else, though one fan might have an answer for why Rey is able to kill Palpatine without absorbing his spirit in the Star Wars movie: "She reflected his attack so he did it to himself."
We're sure there are probably some pretty convincing in-universe explanations for some of these, but on the surface, it sure does look like a lot of popular movies are bending – or breaking – their own rules.
