Everything is preventable but the heroes forgot how to heroe and make very bad decisions
Welcome to every single movie that’s ever been produced. Most things in movies could be prevented if the heroes just made reasonable decisions. But then you wouldn’t have a movie, so heroes have to be stupid at just the right moment to make the movie work.
Nahh, that’s just cheap Hollywood shit that’s written so poorly.
It’s hard to tell living in the US, because our media is dominated by Hollywood. You only get to see the one or two gems that get shat out randomly once a decade sitting amongst a giant field of dumbed down Disney fairy tales. That’s if the gems were even advertised all that well in the first place. So much ADD advertising that spoils the climax of the movie ‘and’ gives you the wrong idea of the plot, it’s impossible to tell what’s actually good without watching it.
Hmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie in theaters, let alone a hidden gem or grossly misadvertised one. I try to avoid ads like the plague.
The only recentish thing that comes to mind is Barbarian, but I don’t think I even saw an ad for it. Not one I paid attention to. Just went randomly, it was not as expected, and we had fun not taking it too seriously anyways, which seems appropriate for that movie.
Others elsewhere in the convo are making some banger recommends, though.

Care to name a few examples?

Not true, that is just lazy writing.
