People Are Sharing Movies That Would Have Ended Immediately If The Characters Acted Normally, And Finally Someone Is Saying It

I expected Harry Potter, but not Frozen...

Ya ever watch a movie and think that if the characters just did the obvious, logical thing, the whole movie could be resolved, like, immediately!?

You know you have.

So here are 25 movies that would have ended quickly if the characters just...acted logically:

6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Warner Bros / Â © Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection

"If Sirius had just revealed himself to Harry at the beginning of the movie or book, they could’ve avoided the rest of the series, and Voldemort wouldn’t have come back.

"'Harry, it is I, Sirius Black, your godfather. I was framed for giving up your parents to Lord Voldemort by a man named Peter Pettigrew, who is currently disguised as a rat and living with a family called the Weasleys. You know them? Your best friend? You don’t say.'"

7. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

"Dumbledore: 'Harry, did you put your name in the goblet?'

"Harry: 'No.'

"Dumbledore: "Okay, then you aren’t going to participate.'

"Harry: 'But it’s a magical contract!'

"Dumbledore: 'Yes, but we never really explained what that even means. Besides, you are a minor and can’t enter into a contract. We know that Voldemort is still alive and in the shadows, and it is super suspicious that you somehow entered the Triwizard Tournament without even meaning to. Ergo, this could be one of his cunning plots. It’s likely that one of Voldemort's servants has infiltrated the school, so I will start personally investigating every teacher and student. Also, I am the greatest wizard to ever live, and I have the Elder Wand, so I can probably find a way to break this magical contract, too, anyway.'

"Harry: 'Oh, OK, thank you, Professor Dumbledore.'

"Barty Crouch Jr.: 'FUCK!'"

11. The Matrix

"'No, thank you, random stranger! Hugs, not drugs, motherfucker!'

"Humans continue to live unknowingly in an artificial world tailored for them while their physical bodies are cared for by benevolent robot overlords who could just as easily have killed all of us and just used cows or something. Instead, Neo had to fuck it up for everyone, and now everyone gets to live in a sunless, sweaty, underground shithole..."
