This is incredibly disrespectful to the CIA's efforts to complete the Geneva Checklist.

This is also most modern media in a nutshell.
Which is why I generally avoid movies and TV and stick with video games. It has the same stupid plot, but at least I get some interaction...
Burn After Reading
The two scenes with JK Simmons were the only things I liked in that movie.
Literally any Cohen Bros movie.
"Who wants to see idiot, go to principals office."
Sorry it is reference to Czech film. This scene in particular. (First comment is translation to eng)
Uh, most conflict there post-WWII was foreign intervention due to resources
Perhaps a hot take, but to me that is Breaking Bad due to Walter's pride.
see when it's pride you call it a Tragedy
I've also seen Prometheus
So... Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark
You're thinking of a different phenomenon, wherein nothing the protagonist does changes the end result.
You could remove Indy from Raiders and it still ends with the Nazis opening the ark and dying.
Yeah but Marion would probably be dead. The Nazis probably would've killed her and took the medallion at the beginning.
It's a classic "the real treasure is the friends we made along the way" kind of story. But because of an explanation popularized by the Big Bang Theory, people seem to be missing the point of the movie. I mean they have to literally look away from the Ark sor they'd be dead. Earlier, Indy leaves Marion as a prisoner of the Nazis to go after the Ark. Later he's willing to blow it up to get her back. There's a character arc there, learning occurs. The whole point is that everything Indy is doing to get the Ark is pointless because the Ark doesn't matter as much as Marion.
It's also the point of basically every Indiana Jones movie. Temple of Doom: Saving the village is more important than than the "fortune and glory" Indy could get from those stones. Last Crusade: Henry Jones Sr. realizes his son is more important than the Holy Grail and tells him to let it go.
Yeah, cause idiocy was the only thing keeping the Germans from finding the lost city AND absurd lack of intelligence got it to Create wherein a ceremony was performed in an entirely other language, you know, like stupid people.
Are you trying to be a troll or having a really dim day?
Wow... You really took this personally.
I'm pretty sure this was the entire premise of dumb and Dumber.
The movie Scoob!
I feel called out here...
