Ok I'll start , in Avengers end game , why didn't they time travel to just before Thanos destroyed the infinity stones , defeated him with the help of Captain Marvel and use the stones to reverse everything?

With all the stones he would be able to defeat them.

There are some inconsistencies about how the stones are used though. For example: Do you need the gauntlet to make them work?

The worst bit of Endgame is when "past" Thanos after learning he gets all the stones and "wins", decides for some reason to come to the future (without the stones) and try and defeat everyone - instead he should have just sat tight and remembered that when he does the "snap" he also removes all the Avengers team, instead of just half of them.

bizarre!

That's not really a plot hole. Those filming locations don't represent their real life locations. That's like saying Kevin Costner isn't really Robin Hood, so that must be a plot hole too.

In Terminator, for the Terminator to travel through time it had to be covered to look human. So how did the T-1000 travel through time in the metal in T2?

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith - why did Padme "lose the will to live" just after telling Obi Wan that she feels good in Anakin and to turn him back from the dark side.....if she feels good in him - stay alive - but she decides to die of the famous medical condition "losing the will to live"

Ah ok, that makes sense but it would've been handy to see it.

Here's my issue with Terminator.....they take part in a massive car/bike/lorry chase, that goes on for miles. They can't have a clue where they're going. They crash, and run into...a steel factory!! Why not a pillow factory? Or a biscuit factory. Or why a factory at all. Why not Asda, or the local library? All too convenient.

In one of the Star Wars films Lando Calrission instructs his team to attack the north tower when they fly inside a Death Star. Where's north in space or inside a space ship?

If we're going for Stars Wars plot holes, how about the bombs that "fall" at the beginning of The Last Jedi?

A pillow factory is a bit lacking in powerful hydraulic presses capable of knackering an otherwise invincible killer cyborg.

The bomber had gravity. They begin falling inside of that gravity bubble. They would continue to fall in space.

Either that or Ryan Johnson is a hack.

If we're doing Star Wars, wasn't it lucky that R2 crash landed in his escape pod in the same vicinity as the old Jedi Knight he needed to deliver a message to. Or Luke crash landed on a jungle planet practically right outside Yoda's front door. See also numerous other examples of this from pretty much every other Star Wars film.
