Iron Man 3 and exploding vegetation

[dragonyphoenix]

Iron Man 3 is much better than I expected.

But, if you had a plant that exploded when someone touched it, would you really bring it into your hotel room? Me, I think I'd find a very isolated room, far from where I was say sleeping, and put up big signs: WARNING. PLANT BLOWS UP WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. REALLY. NOT KIDDING!

Honestly. Is there any valid reason why Maya Hansen would have an explosing plant in her hotel room? And then, when someone touches it, does she say "Hey, don't touch that plant. It explodes."? No, she says the plant doesn't like to be touched. I would love to say "Stupidest movie scientist every" but I'm sure there are plenty of worse examples out there.

Still, Iron Man 3 ... excellent flick. Much better than the previous two.

Teehee. My thoughts exactly! Seemed a bit odd and a rather large thing to tote around, lol. Loved the movie. Watched it a few times now. Definitely better than the last one.

Yeah, even a non-exploding plant ... why cart it around?

I just got the DVD from the library today. So much better than the last one. That Hammer guy? Wow, even more annoying than Stark, which I hadn't thought could be done. Actually, after some of the implausibility issues of the second Iron Man, I shouldn't even be worrying about it with the third. I should just be enjoying the movie. Which I am watching again before I return it. ;-)

Lol. Yeah, I'm always amazed that I even bother with the plausibility thoughts myself considering that it is all fantasy. Definetly worth a rewatch. I kinda liked that he fessed to being a jerk and that maybe he is growing up a tad.

He did seem more mature in this movie. Of course a lot of that was him being terrible depressed. Okay, how sad is it that I prefer depressed!Stark to normal!Stark? *sigh*

Yeah but depressed Stark at least started to think about other people for a change. :D

Let's face it, logic has little to do with the behaviour of movie scientists.

It's a very bad habit of mine, wanting things to make sense. ;-)
