Another recurring flaw I've noticed:

 

1. Good guy (no matter how experienced) blindly charges at random Xehanort incarnation, Maleficent, etc.

 

2. Random Xehanort incarnation, Maleficent, etc., gets an easy opening to just counter with magic, teleport out of the way, etc.

 

3. Good guy ends up looking like a complete dumb@$$.

 

It's hard to take these in-cutscene fights seriously whenever blatant railroading like that happens.

 

P.S.: Credit where it's due -- at least 3D finally let Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Lea be more pragmatic (and thus more believable) in the Where Nothing Gathers part at the end.

I actually didn't see it that way when I watched those cutscenes. Well hey, remember, we're all just as reckless the first time around when we deal with powerful bosses on our first go, so it ain't too far-fetched! X3

In fairness, if the characters ever stopped to consider the repercussions of their actions, most of the series wouldn't take place.
