15 Details That Movies and Shows Chose to Keep (After They Stopped Making Sense)

We know the creators of these films and series were definitely not Buddhists because they were absolutely unable to let go of some things. We can't say we blame them; after all, audiences are often attached as well, and we all know how boisterous fans can become when they are denied their fix of their favorite programming.
