10. Nobody Cares About Han - The Fate Of The Furious

When the villainous Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) joins Mr. Nobody's (Kurt Russell) team in order to track down Dom (Vin Diesel) and stop new antagonist Cipher (Charlize Theron), the team seems to conveniently forget that Shaw murdered their pal Han not so long ago.

Why It's Dumb: Now, these movies never claim to possess much in the way of internal logic, but even with that in mind, it's pretty insulting to the audience's intelligence that such a pivotal event in the series' history is so keenly glossed over simply for the cool novelty appeal of having The Stath on the team.

All it does is devalue Han's demise, which was such a huge part of the prior films. If even just a few more lines of the team members protesting had been included, it wouldn't have seemed quite so jarring.
