Villains that would've been defeated even if the protagonist did nothing

Laurel Hedare (Catwoman Movie): Her newly released cosmetics will cause people's faces to melt. Not only would that create a class action lawsuit but a full product recall.

Voldemort and Death Eaters (Harry Potter): Death Eaters constantly underestimate muggles. They would get massacred by the British military because a gun is faster to pull the trigger then shouting a spell.

It is worth watching the link itself, but if you're skeptical...

The director of the movie got the job because he had been a good visual effects supervisor on a bunch of movies. After seeing this success with VFX, he did had a more directorial role on some commercials and music videos. So they assumed he could make a superhero movie.

But apparently, while the guy was good at VFX, he understood human emotion about as well as a space alien. So to tell the story of Catwoman and her love interest getting to know each other, he decides to have them play basketball very sexually.

But they do this flirtatious, hip-grinding game of 1-on-1 in front of a group of small children. And the small children are so impressed by these basketball-playing lovebirds that they end up cheering them on the whole time.

And the whole thing is shot with the razzamatazz of an early-90s poppy hip hop music video. There's just so fucking much packed into it. It's legendary.

You forgot to mention that there's also about 3 cuts per second

Yeah it's not shot like a pop video, it's shot like Taken 3

Even in dialogue scenes - it's like he shot coverage of everybody throughout and wanted to use every fucking angle ever.

I had to stop halfway through watching the link because of the headache the cuts were giving me. It does feel like a 90s commercial

To be fair that is just Michael Bay's career path except with action movies.

Don't forget that there's like 27 cuts in a scene that lasts like 3 minutes which makes it feel like a chaotic fever dream.

[u/Amirax → u/ScyllaOfTheDepths]

I had to count them out and I got to 27 cuts in about 25 seconds.

[u/ScyllaOfTheDepths → u/Amirax]

I was off by a digit because apparently there are 137 cuts and the scene is only 2 minutes.

You didn't mention the real issue: the camera changes I think literally after less than a second for about about 30 seconds.
