A pet peeve of mine is when a movie or game cutscene has a moment where a character jumps in front of a projectile/weapon meant to hit someone else and it's timed and choreographed like dogshit, like the character could have deflected the hit or pushed the attacker in less time instead of standing in front like a fool.
Footage from infamously bad video game "The Quiet Man."
Look at this nonsense from atrociously directed piece of media "heavy rain". Ignoring how the car doesn't look like it's going fast enough to injure anyone gravely, the child in this scene is supposedly killed by the impact while the adult survives despite the fact the adult is the one that should be taking the brunt of it.
Also god i forgot how nauseating Heavy Rain is with its gimmick of having split views in dramatic moments.
