Shitty Movie Details

Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.

To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.

For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.

Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.

For shitty videogame details, there's !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world

Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.

Why did the horses not evolve?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 17 points 2 days ago

Lack of evolutionary pressure. Especially if that evolution is guided by breeding.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I don't think the original films address it, but in the newer films I think a virus in addition to killing a lot of people also cause humans to "devolve" while causing the apes to "evolve".

So the virus just doesn't affect horses or other animals.

into horse people.

But they never explain how the Statue is the only thing that survives. It seems so unlikely.

Also, how has it been moved to a beach by a tall cliff?

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I mean, tectonic plates shift, islands rise from undersea volcanoes. It happens and with enough time the geography could drastically change.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

Sure, but I doubt that the statue would survive over geological timeframes.

They actually do. It was a trilogy and the sequels talk all about the fact that it was very explicitly earth until the humans destroyed it with Nuclear War.

They even use Nukes on the Apes at one point.

The Apes also use Time Travel to go back to the human era.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Which is extra funny because if there is a total nuclear war NYC is like, target number one.

I never saw the sequels or the whole og but I'm pretty sure it was aliens. They destroyed the earth with a pan galactic gargle blaster. The apes hid up Liberties skirt and rode her through a star gate to the planet cashews. Where they won it from the wookies in a game of sabacco, but they forgot lady statue on the beach and she sunk in the tides.

I'm not getting the humour. Do you not think I was telling the truth or something?

[–] ShaggyBlarney@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

No just joking around

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah, you’re expected to watch the prequel for that explanation

[–] human@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That's actually a mollusk. Just a coincidence.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

It's a common misconception that he falls to his knees and cries because he realizes the planet is Earth.

He was really upset because the mollusk was in his way and he didn't want to have to move it because it's gross.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Everything becomes crab.

[–] bookmeat@fedinsfw.app 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What I don't get is that the movie appears to take place on the west coast.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No, the ocean is on the right. Clearly east coast.
