this list we’re looking at the most
cringe-worthy frustrating insulting or
otherwise unwelcome moments in film from
popular franchises if a moment made our
list today it was bad enough to drag the
movie down with it or maybe even cause
the viewer to abandon the screening
altogether
I’m back number 10
wrecking balls Transformers Revenge of
the Fallen the first Transformers film
might have left something to be desired
but it was a mindless popcorn flick high
on entertainment value
the sequel not so much it’s as if
director Michael Bay decided to throw
away all semblance of effort and just
appeal to the lowest common denominator
quite frankly we’re pretty sure there
were tween agers in the audience who
felt this film insulted their
intelligence skids and mudflap were
insufferable but the real low point was
when we were given a glimpse of
devastators clanking robot testicles the
shot is just as juvenile as the
accompanying one-liner and shows an
obvious lack of respect for the source
number nine Galactus is a cloud
fantastic four rise of the Silver Surfer
it is known by many names my people
called it Galactus consider this an open
letter to anyone in the film industry
who works on a comic book adaptation if
you don’t think that a villain
translates well from the page to the big
screen just leave them out of it and
find yourself a more cinematically
suitable antagonist we don’t care how
iconic the villain is we’d rather see a
lesser one elevated to the big screen
than a revered villain changed beyond
recognition introducing the Silver
Surfer in the 2007 Fantastic Four sequel
was a solid move and so too we thought
was the inclusion of Galactus then they
turned him into a dust cloud the
devourer of worlds deserved better
number eight talked to the head
Terminator three rise of the machines
now anyone who made it through the third
Terminator film was likely a masochist
an experienced rage watcher or someone
who already didn’t like the franchise
this movie was one ragequit worthy
moment after another in the previous
films when the t800 comes to the present
there’s a great sequence where he
acquires clothing for the third film the
filmmakers decided to parody this
tradition by having our need on sparkly
Elton John shades or how about when they
had the first female Terminator enlarge
her breasts to emulate a Victoria’s
Secret billboard of all the rage
inducing scenes though it’s this
cringe-worthy line that hurts the most
that’s the moment that the Terminator
franchise died talk to the hand
number 7 the mandarins true identity
Iron Man 3 America ready for an open
letter part 2 the Mandarin is without a
doubt one of Iron Man’s most iconic
villains and yes fans wanted to see him
on the big screen but here’s the thing
fans don’t always know what’s best the
Mandarin made his comic-book debut in
1964 when racist caricatures were sadly
commonplace over the decades the
character is evolved to become a much
more well developed and less
stereotypical one but his roots remain
problematic the solution leave the
Mandarin out of the MCU because a bait
and switch for something completely
different is something that nobody
wanted rather than fixing the problem it
number six the introduction and
continued presence of Jar Jar Binks Star
Wars Episode one The Phantom Menace the
ability to speak does not make you
intelligent imagine the prequel trilogy
without the Gungan Menace sure there’d
still be bad dialogue a weird focus on
trade embargoes unnecessarily scientific
explanations for the force and you know
too much sand I don’t like sand
but the films would be far more
watchable from the moment that qui-gon
finds himself incapable of shaking the
Gungan the franchise is doomed we get
that Star Wars fans were insufferable
and their demand for this trilogy but
were we so bad that George Lucas felt it
necessary to punish us Jar Jar Binks is
a clown who isn’t funny and whose son
claim was inspired by racist caricatures
honestly the only silver lining is that
Sith Lord fan theory excuse me number 5
Superman kills Zod Man of Steel the DC
Cinematic Universe got off to a divisive
start in 2013 with the release of Zack
Snyder’s Man of Steel though undeniably
stylish and a beautifully shot the film
set itself apart from Superman films
past with its dark tone muted colors and
inexperienced reckless hero
Superman’s failure to take the battle
away from metropolis was frustrating for
many fans but it was the moment that
audiences realized the hero was about to
kill his foe that really broke hearts
for those with less emotional investment
in the character it was an interesting
new direction for Superman for those who
idolized this pillar of morality however
number four Peter Parker the dancing emo
kid
spider-man three Peter no no course not
dear sam raimi we get it you were forced
to cram venom into the film but did you
need to go all Evil Dead army of
Darkness on us in response with this
campy take on Peter Parker armed with
the new symbiote induced sense of
confidence Tobey Maguire begins to act
like a cool guy except he’s like a weird
parody of a cool guy as interpreted by
your deeply out-of-touch great-uncle
it’s cringe crank 2:11 he dances hits on
random women dresses like a Walmart emo
kid and just generally acts like a jerk
this sequence completely shatters any
suspension of disbelief aggressively
taking the audience out of the film
number three nuking the fridge Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
the fourth Indiana Jones was reasonably
well received by critics but fans have a
different opinion you see once upon a
time a beloved show called Happy Days
tried to shake things up by having
fan-favorite character Fonzie jump a
shark on water skis since then any such
desperate silly or gimmicky effort has
been dubbed jumping the shark while
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has the
dishonorable distinction of having given
birth to a terminological successor
nuking the fridge when Indy went from
punching Nazis to riding out nuclear
blasts in a refrigerator it felt like an
unfortunate departure from what made the
franchise so great number two Martha
Batman vs Superman dawn of Justice Zack
Snyder’s take on the DC’s greatest
heroes was an uneven one to say the
least it started strong with some
beautiful opening credits and it
certainly delivered on the action front
but the tone convoluted plot and poor
characterization seriously hurt the film
the dialogue was a problem from start to
finish
but there was one exchange in particular
that made fans quit for whatever reason
Batman and Superman are incapable of
talking things out until Superman says
save Martha Martha just so happens to be
the name of both their mothers we got
what the screenwriters were going for
but it didn’t work and it was the
deathblow of an already floundering film
why did you sign I died before we unveil
our topic here are a few of dis
honorable mentions
number one sewing Deadpool’s mouth shut
x-men origins Wolverine an open letter
to filmmakers working on comic-book
adaptations part three the final chapter
when adapting a beloved character feel
free to make some minor changes and
tweaks as demanded by the medium what
matters is that the essence of the
character what makes him or her tick is
preserved you wouldn’t uncool Batman’s
parents or make Peter Parker a popular
jock so why would you seal the lips of a
character known as the Merc with a mouth
the first Wolverine movie was all
downhill after the excellent opening
credits montage but the reveal of Weapon
11 was enough to make fans want to leave
the theater do you agree with our picks
