10 Basic Mistakes That Ruin Movies

10. Five Years To Go Backwards - Ready Player One

In Ready Player One, Wade aka Parzival (Tye Sheridan) manages to beat the first OASIS challenge by doing the one thing nobody else had thought of - running the treacherous race backwards, resulting in him receiving the coveted Copper Key.

Now, it's stated that this challenge remained unbeaten for five years before Wade pulled it off, and so we're led to believe that for an entire five years, nobody tried driving backwards at the start of the race? C'mon.

If you know anything about gamers, they're an inquisitive bunch and will try anything and everything to test the bounds of a video game's limitations. 

With that in mind, it would've taken mere minutes for somebody to figure out that driving backwards was the key to victory here.

That it took the collective player-base five years to figure out something so howlingly obvious is all the proof you need that this story was written by someone who isn't actually well-versed in gaming culture at all.
