20 Movie Scenes People Always Have to Skip

There’s no such thing as a perfect movie. No, not even the 1993 Pauly Shore vehicle Son in Law. If you look closely enough, the best movies still have something wrong with them, even if it’s just a briefly visible boom mic (or, in this case, Pauly Shore). Of course, you don’t want to go through life looking for flaws in something that’s just trying to give you a good time. But sometimes, one bad scene can absolutely ruin a perfectly good movie.

For Redditor renaissanceclass, it’s in Alien: Covenant, “when this chick literally just watches her friend die,” they told r/Film (and also presumably the rest of Alien: Covenant). “It makes me so mad. I understand she’s supposed to be in ‘shock,’ but come on.” 

They then asked, “What scene from a film makes (you) so mad (you) have to skip past it?” Tons and tons of fast-forwarding followed.
