Lore “Hey that’s not so bad- SWEET JESUS”

A shot is set up in such a way where it looks fine from one angle, then they reveal another that makes it look way worse

Infinity War - Thanos reveals Nebula hanging up imprisoned, then when the camera follows Gamora going to her we see that mechanical components are stretched out and her head and body are in pieces.

Breaking Bad - Hector sets off a bomb in a murder suicide against Gus but he seems to walk out fine impossibly, then the camera moves to in front of him and you see half of his face is just not there anymore.

Never understood this. His severed arm somehow ended up atop a cabinet and his entire body was devoured in less than 20 minutes by a lone Velociraptor. These things are giant naked scaly man sized monsters, as opposed to diminutive feathery fluffy turkey sized normal Velociraptors, but a lone one should barely be able to move after eating a meal almost its own size, much less be capable of chasing and hunting Sarah here.

I feel like with the suspension of disbelief one could argue that the raptor had a torso chunk in its mouth, did a rip and tear that flung the arm, and the arm landed and wedged just so.

I have a couple dogs, one of them is 10 years old and the other just turned 1 but my family got him at the start of the year. When we first got the younger dog the older one quickly figured out that she could scare him pretty easily if she wanted to. this eventually developed into a little game she plays where she will go find a toy and squeak it to get his attention. Usually this results in her squeaking the toy with him dancing around her because if he gets too close she'll either snarl at him or go after him to scare him. There's times where she'll have a toy in her mouth and she'll walk in front of him to try to bait him into reacting so she can scare him. She's great at trolling
