00:00so how's this gonna work are you gonna pay me up front i i don't understand it'd be really great if
00:05i could get paid now in cash welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the
00:11films whose plots could have easily been resolved much quicker if the characters made different
00:17choices boss i'm going through all your private stuff you better come out and pound me number 10
00:23the emperor's new groove cartoon villains often have overly complex plans which frequently
00:29end up leading to their defeat yzma is no exception when i give the word we search the house okay but
00:36i still have 94 monkeys to go her initial plan to turn kusco into a flea put him in a box mail it to
00:43herself and then smash it seems rather effective however to allegedly save on postage she instead
00:49decides to use poison except it's not poison her thriftiness and cronk's incompetence ultimately
00:56prove her undoing as kusco is turned into a llama instead when cronk gets the vials mixed up this
01:03isn't poison this is extract of llama kusco is then able to get his groove along with his empire back
01:12from her if you want something done right do it yourself why did i think you could do this
01:18this one simple thing it's like i'm talking to a monkey number nine pirates of the caribbean curse
01:24of the black pearl you are without doubt the worst pirate i've ever heard of but you have heard of me
01:30for as fun as this movie is it does have a pretty simple solution to all the entertaining pirate action
01:37just give the pirates what they want barbosa's crew of undead buckham ears are in search of a single
01:44gold coin of the cursed treasure that has turned them into living skeletons unable to taste feel or
01:50die you best start believing in ghost stories miss turner you're in one but if jack sparrow and company
01:57just gave them the coin they'd be mortal again and easily killable and sure they do end up doing
02:03exactly that after two hours i feel cold
02:19less entertaining sure but way easier number eight jurassic world these dinosaur parks are always
02:27suffering easily preventable disasters but this one is especially dumb the indorminous rex is
02:33jurassic world's newest attraction for some baffling reason the scientists gave the genetically
02:39engineered dino the ability to mask its heat signature and camouflage itself making them believe
02:45it escaped almost 40 feet high you really think she could have climbed out depends on what what kind of
02:55dinosaur they cooked up in that lab instead of looking for signs it left outside the enclosure they
03:01instead go inside and are naturally attacked and several people are killed somebody talk to me what is happening
03:21even then if they hadn't left through the big dinosaur sized gate it wouldn't have gotten out
03:27if anyone at the park had any common sense they would have avoided in dorminus rex's escape and the
03:33ensuing disaster you should put that in the brochure eventually one of these things will eat somebody
03:39number seven 28 weeks later where do we even begin with this one there are plenty of idiotic decisions
03:46throughout this dumbed down zombie uh infected outbreak film do you want to sit down and i'll tell you all about
03:53it but perhaps the biggest involves don visiting his infected wife alice and getting infected himself
03:59after kissing her despite being in quarantine alice isn't guarded and don is easily able to sneak in to
04:06see her and then after this catastrophe it's made even worse by herding survivors into a small dark contained space
04:23because that's what you want in an emergency with rabid rage monsters packing people in like sardines
04:29number six school of rock point is y'all can just chill today we'll start on this crapola tomorrow
04:37dewey finn impersonates his roommate to get a job as a substitute teacher and instead of doing the job
04:44properly he gets the class to form a rock band come on come on come on come on now touch me babe
04:50but i can't you see that i am not afraid look this is an amazing movie but it does require a pretty big
04:58oversight to work we're expected to believe that nobody asked for his identification before allowing
05:04him to teach children i say no testing and i will tell you why joe gabe gabe i believe
05:11that the children are the future oh no id okay we'll find someone else good luck finding employment
05:19and sure like the song says rock got no reason but if there were a little more reason the movie
05:26never would have happened you listen to me these kids have worked their little fingers to the bone
05:30just to play one song for you so you just sit down shut up and listen sheila call security number five
05:38home alone i hope i never see any jerks again the sheer number of easily solvable problems that lead
05:46to kevin mccallister being left at home when his family goes on a trip are well documented the family
05:51over sleeping due to a power outage is one thing but not noticing kevin isn't there until they're on
05:57the plane seriously what else could we be forgetting kevin even then kevin wouldn't have been on his own
06:08and in danger from bandits if his parents had gotten him to stay at a friend's house or if he'd just
06:14call the police i made my family disappear the sequel is just as bad who changes batteries while
06:26walking in an airport kevin's not here kevin's not here kevin's not here what
06:34come on number four the little mermaid ariel gets in her own way way too much in this classic disney
06:47movie oh she's got it pad what what has she got isn't it obvious daddy ariel's in love the eponymous
06:56mermaid's first big mistake was not reading the contract with ursula losing your voice in exchange
07:01for legs gotta read those terms and conditions girl but what's even more baffling is that she
07:15relies entirely on body language to get eric to kiss her within three days if she'd just
07:21you know written it down she could speak and have legs and don't tell us she can't read or write
07:28she signed the contract in english you see the contract's legal binding and completely unbreakable
07:35number three harry potter and the goblet of fire only one will hoist this chariot of champions
07:42this vessel of victory the triwizard
07:48given that it's a story that involves magic you'd think everything could be solved quickly however
07:53logic would have ended the fourth harry potter film faster voldemort hatches an overly complicated
07:59scheme to enter harry into the very dangerous triwizard tournament despite him being ineligible
08:05because he's too young but when the titular goblet spits out harry's name he's forced to compete
08:16instead of calmly getting to the bottom of things dumbledore throws harry into yet another
08:21life-threatening situation but it's a magical contract yeah that was altered by magic there's
08:28no reason why it couldn't be amended again or the competition delayed or for harry to lose on purpose
08:34voldemort's dumb plan to resurrect himself could have easily fallen apart if anyone had thought this
08:41through harry could you put your name in a couple of the fire yes one of the older students to do it for
08:46you number two avengers infinity war the fate of the marvel cinematic universe comes down to several
08:53major moments but few of them are as crucial as this one where is gamora my tomorrow oh where is she
09:04when the avengers and guardians of the galaxy team up to stop thanos they're inches away from getting the
09:10infinity gauntlet and stopping the purple people killer from continuing with his plan to wipe out
09:15half of all life and then star lord hears that thanos killed gamora the woman he loves tell me you didn't
09:22do it granted that's devastating but maybe if peter quill had waited just a little longer before taking
09:43out his anger on him the mad titan might not have snapped trillions of people into dust
09:49before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions the ring on second thought
09:57watching a cursed videotape is a bad idea credits seven days
10:06jingle all the way all he had to do was buy the action figure when his wife asked him to
10:11two weeks earlier excuse me yes i'm trying to find a turbo mentor me too me too do you have any more in our
10:17time to get back
10:21clerks dante could have just told his boss no it was his day off all i'm saying is if you're that unhappy

11:44numbers ensue don't it don't worry about us bill here is used to roughing it and um and harry i'm
11:50spontaneous spontaneous except none of it would have happened if sophie had just done the obvious thing
11:56and gotten a dna test granted they weren't quite as readily available in the 2000s but it's gotta be
12:02easier than trying to figure it out based on vibes we can find out if you want but i'm with harry
