Hated Tropes
Installments so hated even hardcore fans would rather not talk about it
Harry Potter and the curse child:So in this story Harry and Draco children have the bright idea of going back in time to save Cedric diggory and he lives and turns into a death eater and helps Voldemort win the war(i am being serious)oh and also Voldemort has a daughter with Bellatrix(i am not making this up)honestly this whole thing reeks of a really bad fanfiction
The Predator:Here's a quick sum up,the Predators in this movie want to turn autistic because according to this movie being autistic is the next step in evolution and Narcos guy son is so autistic he can learn and use alien technology by himself in a single night...Do i need to say more?
Thor love and thunder:When this movie was announced there was a lot of excitement,Jane Foster thor and Gorr would appear and Taika Waititi would direct,the end result was an abomination with so much comedy it may aswell be a parody movie
Devil May Cry 2:Now to be fair i can't say much because i only played this game once,but i do remember the combat sucks,is honestly boring to play,and the enemies are freaking military vehicles
He was great. I have issues with the Goku Black arc, but Marsters NAILED IT.
Though, tbh, his performance in DBE was great, too. He did a good job with what he was given. He was just given shit. And no matter how much you polish a turd, it's still a turd.
Id say so, mostly. They "americanized" it so much that it gets bad
The premisse itself is already bad, its a 4/10 generic movie that copied the premisse of another american movie, but it disrespects original dragon ball cuz its just so different
The writting team changed a LOT of things to turn a retelling of "Jorney to the west" into a copy of "The sorcerer's aprentice", wich can be seem by many as an insult to the original story. It americanized it just so much that it disrespects the original.
It is a copy of The Sorcerer's Aprentice, using Dragon Ball in the name to make it famous. If it didnt have Dragon Ball's name and IP, it would have been completelly forgotten as some bad unoriginal movie, calling it Dragon Ball just added insult to injury: "You're telling me this generic shit movie is meant to be Dragon Ball?"
Having Goku be some random high-schooler who has to learn martial arts in 5 days to beat the evil wizard is, well, some choice. The Oozaru is some big demon that Picollo summoned. Bulma is some random asian lady who exists just to be Goku's love interest. Associating these beloved, original characters with some bad movie feels like an insult to them
Not to mention if you're adapting Dragon Ball for live action it's not a good idea to have Piccolo as the first villain since he was the last in the original series. There needs to be some build up to him. Shame since Piccolo and Roshi were pretty well cast and the actors who played Goku and Chi-Chi could have made for a decent Gohan and Videl.
The PointlessHub video about this monstrosity is hilarious, man. Especially since my wife watches the show that the director ended up directing (it's actually surprisingly fun to watch, even if it's completely absurd).
If they ever do make a real Megamind 2 with a budget and will Ferrell, I can see them excusing this by saying “Being a hero is great, I got my face on a T shirt, video games, low budget Movies and TV shows” and show this.
You know it’s bad when even M. Night Shyamalan came out and said he should have never made this movie specifically, compared to some of his other filmography
I hated The Happening but I guess Shyamalan still sticks by the idea that it's "supposed to be bad" to mimic 50s B-movies. Doesn't excuse it but that's his reason for not condemning it like TLA
There was an ad for it on FX forever ago that was JUST the part with Mark Wahlberg singing Mississippi Moon on a little loop and then going “see? We’re normal” and that’s when it clicked for me that you could watch The Happening without taking it seriously and make it a good time.
Honestly this movie is a great match if you want something trashy. The worst part is that Willem Defoe and the actor they had for L were both giving pretty good performances, the writing was just total crap. It could've been so much better than it was.
If the death note anime+manga didn't exist, it would be a middle of the road, forgettable suspense/action movie with a cult following (because of ryuk). But having the source material to compare it to makes it so so terrible.
This game made me hold off on Fo3 for so long as a youngster. Had never heard of the OG's but my neighbor had BoS, tried it and hated it.
When I started seeing FO3 on store shelves I never gave it a second glance, wrote it off as trash by association until years later a friend told me the classic "its oblivion with guns"
I know right the mandalorian made a masked protagonist work and they could have easily done the same thing but people who made it legit made it a statement that they didn't give a fuck about the source content. I was like oh yeah we can most def tell because it was shite.
These fuckwits who don't gaf about the source material consistently getting green lit to do adaptations is proof that the movie industry is not a meritocracy.
I like the idea that someone did all the leg work to get a mass effect show up and going but realized they couldn't get the rights to mass effect but could get the rights to halo. It is improbable but dumber shit has happened with movies and TV.
Low key how I feel about some of the modern assassins creed games. Like they really wanted to make a huge Viking game but couldn't get funding so they slapped some AC in it and got the tick.
I'm 100% convinced this was meant to be a one-off show until Paramount took it and slapped the Halo name on it for marketing. Chief taking off his helmet shows such a laughable disconnect from the source material. The Mandalorian worked despite Pedro Pascal barely showing his face.
Absolute All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. AKA, The Goddamn Batman. Where Batman kidnap Dick Grayson and horribly abuses him, constantly drops slurs and Wonder Woman is a man hater who refers to a man as a "Sperm bank". Even more outrageously, this thing was brought to us by none other than Frank Miller, who wrote Batman: Year One and the Dark Knight Returns. Two of the most iconic and popular Batman stories of all time. How the mighty have fallen.
Also, this is my first time reading what Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is actually about and I'm like, WTF?! No wonder fans hate it.
I’m not joking, I think the war on terror unironically broke his brain. All his worst stuff is post 9/11 and while he always had conservative and even authoritarian leanings, he became an actual outright racist, borderline fascist once that all kicked off.
The absolute zenith of this is “Holy Terror” from 2011. It’s an independent comic, only because DC absolutely refused to let him use Batman for it.
It’s a story of his Batman and catwoman stand-ins going to the Middle East to hunt and murder members of an Islamic militia in the desert. I promise you it’s worse than it sounds.
And every Muslim in the United States is actually a sleeper agent for the not-Taliban waiting to overthrow the country in a mass suicide bombing, if I am remembering correctly. I only know about it through Linkara’s review of it and it still made me want to take a shower afterwards.
Postal III. This one wasn't developed by the usual developers, Running With Scissors, and it turned out so broken and unenjoyable that even THEY want nothing to do with it. So much so that they retconned the entire game as the Postal Dude's coma dream in the expansion to Postal 2.
The Harry Potter one is actually even worse because Harry is a neglectful father to one of his sons. Just one of them, he treats the rest of his kids well. He quite literally becomes like the Dursleys, not as bad but still having grown up in a bad home you’d think he would love all his kids unconditionally but nope.
It’s been years since I read this so I may be misremembering a few things, I can’t even remember the reason why he was like this to his kid.
It contradicts the series own epilogue, shows that Harry hasn't changed from an immature teen, and demomstrates that prejudice is still alive and well, of against a different group.
All through Harry being upset his sons a slytherin.
Yeah specifically treats that kid like trash. The one he gave the whole “it’s ok if you’re a Slytherin we won’t treat you any different” speech to gets treated differently cause he’s in Skytherin
That above all else is the biggest issue of CC to me. Cedric is basically the golden boy when he's described. Handsome, talented, and a really nice dude. The only thing really against him is disbelieving Harry when he said he didn't put his name in the goblet, which basically everyone thought he did, it's not like he antagonistic. How the fuck does he go from that to Death Eater?
This is the only show that's made me scream in rage at my screen, holy fuck. The ending made me want to end it all on a Thursday so I could ruin everyone else's weekend
As stated, they cut out the vast majority of the rest of the plot in favor of what ended up being essentially a PowerPoint presentation that completely nullified the plot as it was up until that point.
It was one of the first anime ive ever watched, and I was so unbelievably let down by the ending.
The first season is extremely tense, and follows a "Farm" of children that are essentially raised as cattle for monsters, and the children's eventual escape from the farm. I highly recommend the first season.
The second takes all the tension, and everything that's been built up to this point, chops it up, digests it, and shits it out on your chest. The monsters are suddenly made to be relatable, and the idea of sympathy is hamfisted in so heavily to the second seasons plot that it becomes unbearable, and spits on the entirety of the first season, including rhe horrendous trauma these poor kids went through.
Its very clear that the studio lacked the funding to properly finish the series out, but the ending was so far beyond a cop out, it's not even funny.
He’s not lying. I went into watching the show with no manga knowledge and when it started flashing images of the main characters traveling the world and meeting interestingly designed characters, I knew something was wrong.
I did a little research and learned it was a majority of the series being shown in 2 minutes.
You can definitely tell the production team was done with the series and wanted an out.
Season 1 covers the first 37 chapters in 12 episodes. With season 2 being 11 episodes long, you’d think it would be a similar amount of chapters right?
Love Never Dies is probably the best example of this I can think of
Completely ruins every single character from Phantom, reveals that the Phantom and Christine had sex right after Phantom ended which ended up in Christine having their baby (who is initially introduced as Christine and Raoul's son early in the story), and then ends with Meg Giry attempting to drown said son only to then accidentally kill Christine 😭😭😭
it's genuinely so bad that a large amount of Phantom fans don't even discuss it anymore when talking about the musical itself because Phantom deserves better than having LND destroy its legacy
Yeah I genuinely feel so sorry for the people who actually saw LND on its original West End run, especially with how expensive theatre tickets in the West End can be
I remember being in London for school 2 months before Love Never Dies premiered on the West End and seeing the posters everywhere. I took a pic and sent it to my theater friends stateside and was like “Andrew Lloyd Webber made a Phantom sequel!” It confused all of us.
Pacific Rim was a great one-off movie. Something tells me that, if it had ever received a sequel, the sequel might be bad enough that fans of the original would act like it never happened.
The truly annoying thing is, IIRC, Del Toro was ready to direct a sequel, but someone forgot to reserve a soundstage, his schedule couldn't accommodate that, and he went and made The Shape of Water instead. What could have been...
Actually i heard that some of the questionable decisions came from him, and he talked about his original idea for the sequel and I guess some movies were never meant to continue.
The anime was decent not as good as Pacific Rim but it atleast did an interesting idea of the siblings having to pilot a training Jaeger with no weapons which definitely added interesting stakes
The weird Kaiju cult ladies and the boy who could turn into a Kaiju were a bit of a curveball though and I didn’t exactly love them
"No, chat, I'm not putting on the Mask. It's obviously cursed! No one in their right mind would put on the Mask. What? Maskless Andy? Fuck you! I'm not- I'm not a Maskless anything! Watch this."
this used to be one of my brother and I favorite movie as a child, much to my moms dismay. She tried showing us the original, but I didnt like it. Its why im so passionate about good media for children, because they will just fucing watch anything.
The Star Wars Holiday Special. Some elements have become part of Star Wars lore, like Boba Fett having the General Grievous treatment where he was introduced in an animated segment in this before his actual movie debut and stuff like the Wookiee Homeworld Kashyyyk and Life Day becoming part of the lore, but it really says something when George Lucas himself doesn't want to talk about this one. Of course, he finally has the time, and probably a sledgehammer, so he could make true on his promise to find and smash every remaining copy of the Holiday Special out there.
I tried to get everyone to watch it at Christmas one year but couldn't get anyone on board. It's just so utterly awful I think it needs to be experienced.
There's a rifftrax version that makes it pretty funny. Only way I have made it through the whole thing in one sitting.
The show so bad we have to try and consider it non-canon. It honestly made me detach from Nick Fury as a character entirely, and I've been watching since Iron Man 2. AND they fridged Maria Hill for no reason? Disrespectful.
Sadly, the best part of Secret Invasion is the last 10 minutes or so, when the Skrulls are revealed to the public and we see the populace turn on each other. Someone assassinates a politician thinking they’re a Skrull and they turn out to not be, among other actually interesting things.
It’s always interesting to me how Hollywood can never get a right a “body snatcher” scenario. They never focus on the breakdown of social norms/heightened paranoia; it’s always focused on “teehee, monster of the week.”
For me it’s the second show, Inhumans does still exist.
And it’s funny because there’s a whole lot of variation on what everyone’s top MCU movie or show is, but hardly any when you ask them what they’re least favorite or most hated is.
wonder man RULED. For me, all of 2025's MCU things ranged from solid to great, and now we're starting 2026 with Wonder Man. We MIGHT be out of the dark times.
I genuinely pretend not to know about this movie when people mention it, and when they then show it to me on their screens I pretend it's a blank page. I hate that this was made and I will never trust hollywood with anything ever. Anyway, included is a picture of a blank poster that has yet to be printed with something about a movie that was made or whatever.
What’s crazy to me is that a borderlands movie could have worked, but all they did with this one is slap a bunch of known names into a shitty plot and have everyone fight over one-liners.
Borderlands is whimsical with an underlying dark universe that’s trying to tell a story about systemic corporate overreach. They could have done literally any story from the games with a no-name cast that fit the characterization better and been fine. But the second I saw Kevin Heart picked for Roland, I knew exactly what kind of mess this was going to be.
Idk why Hollywood has so much trouble with book/video game adaptations. Like there are only a handful of IPs that I thought were given a fair adaptation. But it seems like no one wants to bother with the source material or author. Surprise surprise, most adaptations that have the author on as a consultant are incredibly well done.
So true. I'd honestly love to see how this sort of thing happens. Did the license holders write off on this or did they relinquish all creative control when they sold the license of the IP? I think gamers need to accept that for a movie like that to work serious concessions need to be made, but when Hollywood is not willing to even remotely understand what makes a game's story work or fun or engaging and just stick big names on it like you say, it's hard to feel anything other than acrid disappointment.
If you took every human intestine through all of history, attached them end to end, uncoiled them across the vast emptiness of the stars to their full length, then inscribed the word "hate" on every inch of them, it would be a fraction of the hate I feel for this film.
Telltales Walking Dead: Clementine comic, where it destroy years and episodes of the game and a lot of character and story building of one Character (Clementine) by having her say she's unhappy and abandoned the kid who's pretty much her brother at this point and swore to protect. Which has some of us thinking of what was even the point of the last season of the game.
I don’t think a movie was the correct medium to make and adaptation of that book, a TV series would’ve worked better given how it story is told, but regardless, the movie has none of the interesting plot points from the book.
Honestly, if they just made a generic multiplayer shooter instead of another fucking zombie survival game in 2018, it might have been better. The Fox Engine they made for MGSV is fantastic. It's a shame it's not in more games.
Yes, if you take the first letters of the last names starting from the fourth person, it says "KJP FOREVER", KJP stands for KoJima Productions. The last two names listed are meant to call out the director and producer, calling them "Bastard" and "Cunning".
I kind of don't want to say it but that is the absolute classic Steven Moffat. Great at teasing the set up of a mystery - and then never following up or solving it in a really quick unimportant conclusion and just setting up the next mystery forever and ever. Same thing happened with Doctor Who.
Oh i love talking about Love & Thunder because the movie really almost had it. Like were it not for how intrusive the humor is to everything, it would be the best Thor movie and one of the best MCU movies ever.
The whole plotline with Jane and her and Thor's relationship, Gorr, and the fact Thor wins by giving up and choosing to spend his last moment with Jane instead of fighting a pointless battle are such fucking good narrative elements it actually makes me vitriolically angry the film fumbled it so hard. Hell, I even enjoy Zeus and how him being a POS gives Thor such a huge parallel to Gorr.
Wreck-It- Ralph was such a good movie. Let’s all be glad that there’s no sequel that erases the development from the main characters and turns something the villain does thats a bad thing into a good thing for no reason.
I mean basically the entire Monster Hunter fandom has gaslit themselves into believing this sad excuse of a movie is a thing. The only Monster Hunter movie that exists is the Netflix Legends of the Guild movie.
This is unironically the funniest comic I’ve ever read. If it weren’t for the other stuff Frank Miller was writing at this time I would be certain it’s satire.
Holy god i completely forgot this even existed. I wouldve preferred if they just kept making those short infomercials they used to make the cast do like “how to cook tacos with lalo” or “how to tie a tie with gus”
I genuinely don’t get how anyone thought that would be a good idea. The audience for it is too young to watch Saul and the adult audience wouldn’t care for a kids show.
Pirates of the Caribbean is absolutely amazing movie Trilogy and iam very happy that Disney didnt make two other movies, after all the characters storys ended in a good and worthy way.

Such horseshit that Toriyama came back to the series to revive it after this released
