he’s always viewed the wimpy Viking as a
bit of a disappointment I don’t want to
fight dragons Tamar yes you do hiccups
pensive youth desperately trying to earn
his father’s respect upon gaining the
trust of a dragon however hiccup learns
that being a man isn’t about impressing
your elders it’s about fighting for
what’s right
hiccup help stoic to see the light and
his entire family is even reunited in
the sequel for about five minutes
Odin you then listen to me son we never
would have been to number nine Eddie
Adams also known as Dirk Diggler Boogie
Nights well we almost solved the case
please a woman is safe there’s a
better-than-average chance that anybody
who turns to porn probably doesn’t have
the best relationship with their parents
at least that’s the case with Eddie
Adams in Boogie Nights
where were you Louis where were you you
see that little girl you see Cheryl his
mother is an abusive judgmental
alcoholic who’s always ready to snap
after one particular freakout and he
finally decides that he’s had it with a
crazy old bat and sets out on his
journey
wait don’t be me
Oh stupid ass ass from there he assumes
the alias of Dirk Diggler and is taken
under the wing of a more experienced
porn star
sometimes your real family can be found
in the most unlikely of places that’s a
lot of money that you’re asking this as
you make good one that’s practically
knowing how much money number eight John
bender The Breakfast Club stupid
worthless no-good goddamn freeloading
the son of a bitch anybody is
self-destructive as John bender from The
Breakfast Club must have some serious
mommy / daddy issues how was your day
pal great dad how’s yours
during his Saturday in detention bender
constantly quotes the brutal words of
his sadistic father at first nobody’s
sure bender is for real or if he just
has a sick sense of humor however this
bad boy has the physical scars to back
up his mental scars no dad what about
you it’s clear that his home life has
taken a damaging toll on bender who
fears he’ll grow up to be just like his
old man don’t you ever ever compare
yourself to me okay number seven Jim
Stark rebel without a cause
well I did I could just explain you see
we just moved here you understand and
the kid hasn’t got any friends when L
look into it even if two parents aren’t
necessarily abusive and try to bring
their child up right they can still end
up with a rebel without a cause you’ll
learn when you’re older Jim well I don’t
think a little in that way James Dean
had already played a character with
daddy issues previously in 1955 in East
of Eden
Cal Trask is constantly competing with
his brother for the affections of his
father and loses you never gave me one
of us of an inch ever for what you
thought was right in the case of rebel
only child Jim Stark feels torn apart by
his parents with his mother being overly
controlling and his father completely
lacking a spine despite his reckless
tendencies his parents still do
everything they can to protect their son
and preserve his future however this
family is basically a car crash waiting
to happen
and will continue on a collision course
until they hit the brakes you can depend
on me trust me whatever comes we’ll face
it together
number six Loki the Marvel Cinematic
Universe oh my god no what am I you know
my son Thor made butt heads with his
godly father on occasion but they
ultimately reconcile in the end
Ice King about God again not King the
same cannot be said however about his
bro Loki learning that you’re adopted
can come as a massive low but Loki takes
things a little too far
why’d you twist my workers told me what
I was from the beginning why didn’t you
after all
usurping the throne plotting to murder
his adopted father and basically
betraying anybody who ever loved him is
what we would call over the line in the
process he also stirs up a heap of
trouble on earth and in dangers
countless lives to prove himself
Who I am done
whose father than I and a worthy son
well at least Loki got his daddy’s
attention I could have got it
for you number five Carrie White
Carrie I can see a dirty fellow every
long way and if Carrie’s life at school
weren’t unbearable enough her home life
is an even greater nightmare
her mother takes Christian
fundamentalism to an unhealthy extreme
she not only condemns Carrie for wanting
to go to prom but also tells her that
getting her first period is a punishment
from God show her if she has remained
cinema curse the blood would never come
on just when it looks like they might be
able to forgive and forget though Carrie
is literally stabbed in the back
[Music]
however our young telekinetic does get
her revenge on her mother after years of
torment resulting in one of the most
satisfying comeuppance –is in cinema
[Music]
number four Frank TJ Mackie Magnolia
respect the cock this motivational
speaker presents himself as a bonafide
ladies man I’m Frankie J Beck master of
the month and author the sadducees
choices to malleable to you on our human
self however underneath his confident
persona and sexist comments Frank Mackie
is hiding severe inner pain brought on
by his parents his father bailed on him
years ago leaving Frank to take care of
his dying mother
Frank’s facade comes undone in an
interview and he’s eventually prompted
to confront his dad on his deathbed it
hurts doesn’t it
he won’t want pain she was in a lot of
pain it isn’t easy but Frank is finally
able to get his true feelings out in a
powerful scene that’s full of anger
sadness and regret
number three Christina Crawford Mommy
Dearest based on the memoir by Christina
Crawford herself Mommy Dearest paints
Hollywood legend Joan Crawford to be a
complete monster why did you tell her I
got expelled because you did get
expelled when Christina was a child Joan
gave away almost all of her daughter’s
birthday presents locked her up and
chopped off chunks of her hair when
Christina was an adult Joan nearly
strangled her to death and do we even
need to bring up the infamous wire
hanger scene while it’s still debated
whether Christina’s accusations are
accurate or exaggerated it’s clear that
she had some serious issues with her
adopted mother
in any case Christina got the last word
with this melodrama
number two Luke Skywalker star wars the
original trilogy so you had accepted the
truth
I’ve accepted the truth that you were
once Anakin Skywalker my father Anakin
Skywalker has his fair share of
emotional baggage seeing is how his
mother dies in his arms and his father
is virtually non-existent why do I get
the feeling you’re going to the test
with me don’t say that master you’re the
closest thing I have to a father however
that can’t quite compete with the trauma
Luke Skywalker endures with our combined
strength we can end this destructive
conflict and bring order to the galaxy
I’ll never join you
it comes as a huge shock to Luke when he
learns that his deceased idol and the
man who killed his father are one and
the same on top of that his Darth daddy
cuts off his hand right before
delivering the news you know what we
don’t blame obi-wan for fudging the
truth a little with Luke how did my
father die a young Jedi named Darth
Vader before we get to our top pick here
are some honorable mentions I’m writing
a story for class mama I don’t want them
to take you away yes you do Owen loves
this mama
Owen loves his mama maybe I’m not
allergic I could try a piece really but
do I take a chance going the wrong way
we have to get to Berlin Brody this way
my diary’s is loaded we don’t need to
fire again Marcus has the map number one
Norman Bates psycho
where do we even begin with this guy
well it’s hard to discuss the full
extent of Norman Bates mommy issues
without giving away the immortal ending
to psycho thank you go out with friends
well boy’s best friend is his mother in
a nutshell let’s just say his mother
keeps him on a tight leash there’s
nothing he can do to escape her she’s
always there to undermine and criticize
Norman damaging his self-esteem and
preventing him from ever having a
meaningful relationship with anyone else
I am sorry boy but you do manage to
ludicrous when you give me orders please
mother
no I will not hide in the fruit cellar
that’s okay though because after all a
boy’s best friend is his mother mother
my mother what is the phrase she isn’t
quite yourself today
