Is there a meme from a movie or movie series that bugs you?

There is one that does, for me.

How totally evil vicious people in the Star Wars series, do one or two "good deeds," and are instantly let into "Jedi heaven," so to speak.

Good example, Darth Vader.
As Anakin Skywalker he MURDERED a bunch of little kids, helped destroy a whole world with all of it's people, yet...
He kills a "bad guy" saving his son, and he gets let into "Jedi heaven."

This was also true with Ben Solo, AKA Kylo Ren.
Kills a bunch of kids, oversees destroying multiple planets and their people but he helps save one woman and is let in.

I severely irritated my Catholic brother and wife when I suggested that Last rites were ridiculous as it gives an out to live a life of mayhem and debauchery and so long as you get last rites, you will, eventually, end up in heaven.

The fight started because of a set up by Lex Luthor that deceived them.

There was no good reason to fight, but even less of one to stop.

The stupidity of the moment - "Why did you say the name Martha?" - stands out as a cringeworthy moment.

Ultimately, despite its flaws, the movie became one of my favorites of all time. What a soundtrack!
