X-Men (1992)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: The beginning of this series sees a young mutant serving as a proxy for the audience, where they discover their mutant powers, try to elude sinister forces that are after them, and meet and later join the X-Men along the way. Showrunner Larry Houston claims director Bryan Singer borrowed this idea for the first X-Men film, substituting Rogue for Jubilee.

Speak No Evil (2024)

Trivia: Ciara and Paddy are mentioned as having been together for 17 years. If we grant that the characters are the same age as the actors portraying them, that would have made her around 13 or 14 when they first got together, which would suggest that she was the child of one of Paddy's earlier victims and would give credence to her defensive plea to Louise late in the film that she was a victim just like the protagonists.

Beetlejuice (1988)

Stupidity: Juno adamantly warns Adam and Barbara against getting help from Beetlejuice, but then proceeds to freely tell them exactly how to conjure him. She even snubs them when Adam asks how to get back in touch with her should they need her assistance again.

Suggested correction: I think she was giving them more of a warning against conjuring him accidentally by saying his name three times. Didn't she tell Adam that she wasn't available when he asked? That might explain the snub.

If she was warning them about accidentally saying his name three times, then it also would have been wise for her to tell them in that same moment that they could make him go away by saying his name three times again, but she didn't. She also said she wasn't available to help them in that moment, not at a later date like Adam was asking. By refusing to answer Adam's question, she made it more likely that they would turn to Beetlejuice for help.
