    What Movie Character Annoyed You The Most

    in Media Discussion

    · Edited by Anti-Villain

    The Shield (WWE):

     

    OP/boring/repetitive/predictable heels from the start, but now, as one Billy Idol lyric goes, "it's getting worse."

     

    Jones!TwoFace (Batman Forever):

     

    Carrey!Riddler = JOYGASM!!! (he actually says that, btw), but Jones!TwoFace = DIE, MONSTER!!! YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!!! (more specifically, he's just a Nicholson!Joker-ripoff with a "two halves"-gimmick slapped on him at the last second; thank God for Eckhart!TwoFace, however).

    Favorite One-Shot Characters

    Evan Abby (Criminal Minds, Episode: Ashes And Dust):

     

    This episode's about 2 different arsonists: a victimless Well-Intentioned Extremist, Abby, and a mysterious family-burning Complete Monster. At the end:

     

     

    Abby, outraged by the family-burnings and dying of leukemia anyway, locks himself in a burning building to keep the Complete Monster from escaping too.

    Mitch Hathaway (Cold Case, Episode: Offender):

     

    Wrongfully served over 20 years for his son's rape and murder, before eventually escaping and vowing to get the REAL rapist/killer, even if it meant "taking out a piece of garbage (his term for a sex offender) every day" in the process.

    Fictional Murderers You Actually Root For

    in Media Discussion

    The only ones I can think of is GLADoS from portal 2 and Yanni Yogi from the Phoenix Wright movie. I really loved GLADoS' personality and she was a lot less crazy than Wheatley, that's for sure. Plus she looked pretty awesome with her new design.

     

    Phoenix Wright Spoilers below.

     

     

     

    Yanni Yogi was accused of murdering Mile's Edgeworth's father through the use of a spirit medium channeling Gregory Edgeworth's spirit. His defense attorney, Robert Hammond, told him to plead insanity for the purposes of furthering his own career. Yanni does this despite actually being innocent and returns to his home town with his social standing completely broken and his job lost. Entering his home, he finds that his beloved wife has committed suicide. To make things even sadder, he has a bird that shares the same name as his wife. When he says to it "I'm sorry, Polly", he hears it returns "I love you, Yanni" in his wife's voice.

     

    Then he eventually gets shipped a package with a letter and a container of acid. The letter tells him that it's finally time to take revenge on Hammond and Edgeworth, the people that he believes destroyed his life. He then proceeds to use the acid to burn off his fingerprints to leave his identity behind and proceeds to take his revenge.

     

    The actor in the movie plays this role amazingly... While many parts of the movie were a bit corny and pretty bad, the guy playing Yanni did a phenomenal job. It was easily the best part of the entire movie when he was finally identified.

     

     

    I stopped watching the movie upon Redd White's conviction because...well...his portrayal SUCKED!!! WHY DIDN'T REDD WHITE LOOK AND ACT LIKE BLACKMAIL-GASTON ANYMORE?!?! WHY DID THEY REPLACE THAT VERSION WITH ESSENTIALLY A JAPANESE VERSION OF MICK JAGGER WHO LOOKED AND ACTED STONED OUT OF HIS MIND?!?!

     

    WHY?!?!

     

    But after seeing your post, I think I'll check out the rest of the movie after all, if only to see Yanni Yogi's parts.

     

    P.S.- What would Godot's visor look like in a potential sequel?

    Yeah. The song that played during those reveals was really haunting as well.

     

     

    And what makes it worse was that it's implied that Doctor Grey never drugged her. It was all an accident on her part. Can you imagine how that must've weighed on her mind?

     

    Arguably worst of all?

     

     

    You'd think finally letting EVERYTHING out would at least give her some dignified closure, but nope: Franziska had to be a b***h and whip everyone in frustration over losing...including Mimi in mid-grieving.

     

    That, among other things, drove me to side with Godot when he utterly humiliated Franziska in the sequel.

    @Flipturn- Also from said game:

     

     

    Ini/Mimi Miney.

     

    First, imagine yourself starting out as a promising young nurse at a prestigious clinic. But then, imagine your boss turning out to be a complete @$$hole who overworks you until you can barely think straight, which eventually causes you to accidentally poison FOURTEEN patients from sheer stress-induced confusion. Next, imagine not only getting fired afterward, but also getting hounded by said boss AND the media for said malpractice incident, both dilemmas only increasing your already-high levels of stress and fatigue, until, one night, you're out driving your sister somewhere, when all of a sudden, you just black out from sheer exhaustion...while behind the wheel. Now, imagine yourself waking up in a hospital, and not only learning your sister died in a recent car accident YOU indirectly caused, but also looking in a mirror and seeing HER face (because your plastic surgeon(s) used the wrong ID card for reference), which is now the only way you have left of keeping her alive. Finally, imagine your ex-boss coming back barely a year later to CONTINUE to somehow try and antagonize you.

    Killer Croc was a pretty evil villain, who eats his prey when he gets the chance. That is until, they made him a laughing stock in the TV shows where he never plans a strategy.

    img-1814549-1-3868058427_f6231a2ea2.jpg

     

    Of course, NOBODY was laughing at ^THAT^ version of him...at least not until he said, "YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME!!!" immediately before the game instructed you to "hold X to run."

     

    P.S.- It was a BIG rock...

    Sometimes, a villain just sucks, whether from the start or by failing to live up to good buildup; gripe about these characters here.

     

    Recent:

     

    The Replicator ("Criminal Minds, Season 8"):

     

    Bad@$$ mystery man who, well, replicated various killings to troll both the BAU and the entire FBI. And he was pretty dang good at it, too...at least until the season finale finally revealed his identity:

     

     

    Disgruntled FBI agent (played by MARK HAMILL) essentially overreacting worse than Manfred Von Karma from "Ace Attorney," complete with a sympathetic "Yanni Yogi"-like lackey in an earlier mid-season episode.

     

    You didn't read that wrong: "SEASON 8" WAS ESSENTIALLY ONE BIG PARODY OF AN "ACE ATTORNEY" CASE!!!

     

    Bottom line: The Replicator was MUCH better as an enigma, and not even Mark Hamill's "Fire Lord Ozai"-voice was able to redeem this character afterward.

    Gilda, Diamond Tiara (but NOT Silver Spoon; SHE just seems peer-pressured into going along with DT), Blueblood, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Garble's gang, Chrysalis (though SHE'D likely be powerful/smart/etc. enough to subvert it somehow), Sombra (though, like Chrysalis, likely powerful/smart/etc. enough to subvert it somehow, not to mention...you know...frigging DEAD and all), etc.

    True, Fiennes!Voldemort and Everett!Claw were slaps in the faces to their original counterparts, but Hopper!Koopa/Bowser was just flat-out dropping a nuclear warhead...on the most popular villain in video game history, no less!

    Well, to be fair he kinda doesn't have a nose. A bit of mouth-breathing and weird inhales are to be expected. Lol NOPE. Not makeup nose, CGI nose. Still....

    Anyway i think mentioning Christen Stewart from Twilight is cheating so i'll just go ahead and say Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. His performance was weird and cringe-worthy.

    Nightmare Moon and Season 4 [Spoilers]

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    How is it clear that she is weaker? Really there doesn't seem to be much of an indication of what the limits of her powers are. All we know is this. She cant defeat Discord by herself or without the aid of the elements. This isn't helpful as Discord is god like in his powers, reality is his plaything. She was defeated by Queen Chrysalis. That isn't really a helpful limiting factor either. Chrysalis was hyped up on love magic and we don't know the love to magic exchange rate. Considering the power of the crystal heart it seems love is a force that potentially rivals that of the elements of harmony. Not only that but we have no way of knowing what the force was behind those magical beams they were throwing around. For all we know that could have been the magical equivalent of a condensed nuclear blast. We also know Sombra while defeated had magic that Celestia nor Luna could stop.

     

    All we know for sure is that Celestia can be defeated by other beings. We know that she did wield the elements before so in that sense she was more powerful but in the normal sense she probably really hasn't changed that much. Of course that could change in season 4.

     

    Celestia WAS, however, both immune to and effortlessly able to break Twilight's "Want It, Need It" spell over ALL of Ponyville, as well as able to enchant the Elements Of Harmony directly so Discord could no longer just teleport them away (with the latter moment arguably redeeming Celestia from getting 'The Worf Effect' from Chrysalis).

     

    Of course, as far as alicorns go, we've DEFINITELY seen Cadance doing the most work; she's like the Legolas of MLP: FIM, and thus should have THIS as her theme song:

     

    MLP Forums WWE Discussion Thread - 2013 to Wrestlemania XXX

    in Media Discussion

    · Edited by Anti-Villain

    @Avalionis- Speaking of which, let's talk about perhaps my BIGGEST issue with WWE's current direction:

     

    IT'S CONSTANTLY ENFORCING THE 'GOOD IS DUMB' TROPE!!!

     

    Nowadays, WWE babyfaces are rarely, if ever, allowed any 'Genre Savvy' tropes (unlike Attitude Era alumni such as Stone Cold Steve Austin), instead being forced to be "brave fools" who CONSTANTLY get gang-raped via MONOTONOUS Shield-style ambushes, because if a WWE babyface EVER decides to go pragmatic, even just for self-defensive purposes, then WWE thinks their younger fans will view him or her as cowardly.

     

    Now, any good self-defense teacher, even one for kids, will actually encourage his or her students to CHEAT LIKE THE WIND for survival if said students are ever outmatched and/or outnumbered by assailants, so if anything, WWE's actually setting a worse example NOW than back in the Attitude Era.

    Rupert Everett As Dr. Claw In The 1999 "Inspector Gadget" Movie:

    Admit it: Dr. Claw in the original show was the $#*7!!! You never EVER knew his identity, he talked like the frigging Nine-Tailed Fox from "Naruto," etc. But SOMEPONY evidently thought it was a good idea to have the live-action counterpart be the POLAR OPPOSITE!!!

    How was the Crystal Empire able to vanish?

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    · Edited by A.V.

    If I was allowed to answer this question shortly, then I would just say: PLOT.

     

    The writers clearly didn't think that far ahead. Hell, if you think about it, King Sombra is pretty bland and generic for a villain. At least the other ones had either a reason for it (Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis), or were interesting (Discord). In other words, they just needed a Grand Season Opener so they created a Kingdom (who is in reality an Equestrian puppet state) and a villain to rise up the scale of the episode.

    1. Sombra most likely just teleported the Empire to the future. Is it really that hard to figure out?

     

    2. That's your interpretation of him; mine is that he's an enigmatic bad@$$ who uses very Crazy-Prepared curses and traps for a near-victory.

     

    P.S.: If there's any "bland and generic" villain here, it's Sunset Shimmer.

    How was the Crystal Empire able to vanish?

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    · Edited by A.V.

    Most likely, Sombra simply teleported it to the future so that, post-banishment, he could just pick up where he left off as if Celestia and Luna never interfered in the first place (of course, Shining and Cadance ended up beating him to the punch (albeit temporarily) when that day finally came).
