You went to sleep in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at a festival, hit the parking brake with your unconscious hand, and rolled over a tent with somebody in it.

The entire motivation of the bad guy in Madame Web is that he saw the heroes killing him in a dream so he wants to kill them first...

The only reason they want to kill him is because he keeps fucking attacking them...

That movie is so fucking stupid

I haven’t seen it, but that’s like, most Ancient Greek stories about prophecy. The only reason the prophecy comes true is that people take actions to prevent it.

For example, Oedipus’s parents find out he’s gonna kill his father and marry his mother. So when he’s an infant they nail his feet together and throw him out of the city. He’s taken in by some kind people, eventually makes his way back to the city later in life, kills his father in an altercation without knowing it’s his father, marries his mother not knowing she’s his mother. If his parents had never heard the prophecy and just, you know, raised him, he wouldn’t have done those things.

My favourites are killing refs for making bad calls, or killing other parents because their kid did something in a game

There is no good reason to kill. Only bad excuses

Some guy once killed a man over a beanie baby

You could watch a documentary about serial killers or check current wars, it's full or dumb reasons to kill other people.

Iraq accepting Euros for their oil.

Because they've given you everything you've ever wanted, been nothing but genuinely kind to you, and done nothing you've ever disagreed with.

These other answers are dumb, but for it to be the dumbest it has to be dumber than "they did something I don't think is wrong" and instead is "they did something that everyone agrees is right."
