17 Dumb Choices Movie Characters Made That Are Honestly So Infuriating

Star-Lord ruined EVERYTHING. He can choke, tbh.

We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us some of the dumbest choices anyone has ever made in a movie. Here are the infuriating results.

🚨 SPOILERS AHEAD, PEOPLE 🚨

1. In A Quiet Place, when the parents were super lax with their kids and both walked in front of them, despite there being killer monsters that attacked anyone who made noise.

Paramount Pictures

"Why did both parents walk in front of all of their kids, with the youngest in the back?! I always walk behind or next to my kids in public places and tell them I want all eyes on them. And there were two parents in that movie! I most definitely would have had one parent in the front and one parent in the back. That would have stopped the kid from using the toy in the first place."

2. In The Witches, when that random woman decided to take a nap on the top of a cliff, leaving her unattended baby in a stroller that was pointed directly toward the ledge.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"I tried watching this movie for the first time the other day, and this moment made me unreasonably mad. Obviously the writers put it in to keep the plot moving, but come on! No one would be on a casual walk with their child, stop at the top of a cliff, think, 'Oh, this looks like a nice place for a nap,' and then park the baby's stroller so it faces the ledge. What a random, infuriating scene."

3. In Spider-Man: Far from Home, when Peter gave EDITH to Mysterio, despite only knowing him for a few days and Tony giving very specific instructions to keep it to himself.

Marvel

"Like, come on!"

4. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, when Ron and Hermione decided to have a passionate make-out session while Hogwarts was being attacked by every evil creature in the Wizarding World.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Why did they decide to have a passionate make-out session in the middle of a life-or-death battle?! Time was of the essence! I get that they just realized their feelings for each other, but they could have expressed that with a quick kiss instead."

5. In Jurassic Park, when the first T-Rex escaped, so Lex decided to shine a giant flashlight and give up her hiding spot, instead of trying to lay low.

Universal Studios

"Lex immediately dug in the back of the car for a flashlight to shine at the dinosaur, drawing it right over to them. WTF?!"

6. In Star Wars: A New Hope, when Darth Vader spent decades building the $852 quadrillion Death Star, something that could be easily destroyed by a single Star Fighter in one shot.

7. In Avengers: Infinity War, when the Avengers were in the middle of removing the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos's hand, but Star-Lord ruined everything because he couldn't ignore his feelings for five seconds.

Marvel

"I will never, ever forgive that selfish idiot for ruining everyone's chances of getting the Gauntlet from Thanos. It feels weird to be so invested, but the first time I saw this scene I screamed. There's certainly a time to break down emotionally, but there's also a time to get the freaking job done. Saving half of the universe seems like a time to pause your grief for a few seconds."

8. In I Know What You Did Last Summer, when Helen was running away from the killer and was literally six feet from a crowded area but decided to stop, turn around, and look back at the dark alley she was escaping from, giving the killer enough time to catch up to her and murder her.

Mandalay Entertainment

"She was so close to safety! What the hell, Helen?!"

9. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, when Snow White decided to eat an apple with a literal skull on it from a complete stranger who was super invested in how Snow White was alone.

Disney

"I just...ugh."

10. In Big Hero 6, when Tadashi decided to run into the building that was completely engulfed in flames and full of dangerous chemicals.

Disney

"I know the movie wouldn't be the same without this scene (and that he was trying to save the professor), but that building was ENTIRELY on fire and most likely had a lot of flammable chemicals inside."

11. In Uncut Gems, when Howard locked Phil in his bulletproof container for hours and then decided to let him go when the basketball game was over, as if nothing would be wrong.

A24

"This was a great movie, but buzzing open the locked vestibule door was an unexpectedly stupid thing to do, especially knowing that Phil and the other guys would be armed. Howard sealed his fate with that dumb move."

12. In Jaws, when the guys decided to hunt and kill the world's biggest shark with their small, old, run-down boat that could barely stay afloat on its own.

Universal Pictures

"Why did they think that the best boat to use to find and kill a huge great white shark was the Orca, which could be easily pulverized? Duh."

13. In Zodiac, when Robert thought he was alone with the Zodiac Killer, so instead of escaping he decided to check out the dark, creepy basement with him instead.

Paramount Pictures

"This is one of the most chilling movie scenes ever, and every part of you wants to scream at Jake Gyllenhaal's character to not go into that basement. He's alone in the house with Vaughn (who just admitted that his handwriting was used on the movie posters, matching the Zodiac's), there's a thunderstorm, and it's pitch black inside, but he decides to go into the basement with Vaughn anyway. Hell. No."

14. In The Hunger Games, when Katniss was stuck in the tree and all of those kids tried to kill her for, like, two minutes but then gave up, so they decided to camp out and sleep below her and just wait for her to hopefully come down.

Lionsgate Films

"The career tributes decided to sleep under the tree that Katniss was in because they couldn't kill her after trying for a whole 30 seconds. Like, were they just expecting her to give up peacefully and not try to kill them too?!"

15. In Crazy Rich Asians, literally every single time Nick decided to hide information about his family from Rachel, despite them flying across the world to see them.

Warner Bros. Pictures

"Nick and Rachel had been dating for so long, but he continuously hid so much from her. He should have prepared her for exactly what she was getting into, knowing that his family was extremely famous and wealthy and wouldn't approve of her."

16. In Titanic, when Old Rose climbed onto the side of the ship and threw the priceless Heart of the Ocean necklace into the water.

Paramount Pictures

"I mean, WTF? Don't you have any idea how much that thing must have been worth? I know she was metaphorically putting it back with Jack and the ship and everyone, but if she didn't want the money she could have at least given it to charity."

17. And in every horror movie, like, ever, when the main character *thinks* they've killed the murderer and lets their guard down, and then they're surprised when the murderer isn't actually dead and returns to finish the job.

Compass International Pictures

"Every time they think they've killed the murderer, they drop the weapon (basically in the 'dead' killer's hand), and then they just sit there beside the murderer, crying from the trauma. B*tch, it's time to GET FAR AWAY NOW and KEEP THE WEAPON, just in case!!!!"
