Why don’t they make movies more like real life?

A 20 year old man in Southern California, Luca Opperman, is hailed as a hero for protecting In-and-Out employees from a 53 year old woman wielding a baseball bat because…

…her hamburger was not being prepared fast enough.

Now, I am capable of being as impatient as the next burger-waiter, but let’s face it. Nothing I do with a baseball bat-like club is going to quicken the delivery of a hamburger.

The baseball bat was broken off at the wide end and sharpened at the narrow end, so I find it improbable she was just grabbing a quick sandwich while waiting for the rest of the Little League players to arrive.

Luca Opperman was outside the restaurant when the brouhaha commenced. He did not hesitate. He went in through the kitchen, seizing an unattended metal spatula on the way. He had skills, though, as a gymnast and as a competitive trampoline athlete, and the woman with the bat never had a chance.

Now, THAT movie would hold my interest far longer than one where the good guy is all by himself until a dozen karate black belts circle him aggressively but wait politely their turn to fight him one on one.

"Spatula - Man Begins"
@DrWatson It’s a priceless story. I don’t know how he planned to use the spatula. Maybe he was just going to flip her burger and de-escalate the conflict.

Because we live real life and want to escape from it?

A movie like real life would mostly be boring.
Interspersed with the odd death,financial worry and stubbing of toes here and there.
Sounds like psycho-karen got owned.......
Not enough "drama" in real life.
That, plus these "stories" are "obviously made up".
@RockinPop54 I don’t know your opinion of the New York Post, but here’s their take.
