top 10 things superhero movies got wrong
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content you’re still here
for this list we’re looking at specific
aspects of certain superhero films that
just didn’t work for a variety of
reasons never woman but you can’t kill
number 10 Tony Stark’s PTSD Iron Man 3
I’m going to told you that I have an
anxiety issue there’s no doubt that
Marvel did a fantastic job when they
pegged Robert Downey jr. for the role of
Tony Stark aka Iron Man our DJ has been
a pillar in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe and his performance has been
one of the main standouts of the
franchise not everything has been
perfect however director Shane Black
reportedly wanted to work the famous
demon in a bottle storyline into Iron
Man 3 but the film ultimately took a
more lighthearted tone instead Tony
Stark suffers from post-traumatic stress
following the events of the Avengers
nothing’s been the same since mirror
while this was an interesting take on
the character it didn’t measure up to
the powerful plotline from comics you
have PTSD
I don’t think so yeah are you on
completely mental number 9 making
Catwoman not Selina Kyle Catwoman
what’s your name hey Phillip on the one
hand it can be a good idea for Bill
Studios and directors to create their
own versions of famous comic book
characters at the same time however you
don’t want to stray too far from the
source material which is exactly what
this movie did instead of Selina Kyle
Halle Berry play someone named patience
skill ups so I’m not patient sitting
with you are patients and you want
in the comics count woman’s origins are
fairly simple she’s a jewel thief with a
sexy persona who evolved into an
unlikely hero here she is murdered but
an Egyptian mal brings her back to life
now possessing cat-like abilities she
dresses up in leather and fights evil
cosmetic executive no wonder this movie
received several Razzies I’m patient
[Music]
number eight no Latveria Fantastic Four
and fans for stick Victor clean comedian
Victor Von Doom is one of the greatest
villains in the Marvel Universe
but for some reason they can’t seem to
get him right on the big screen in the
comics Doom is the ruler of Latveria a
fictional country in Europe and his
disfiguration and subsequent rise to
villainy are the result of his own
misguided actions the films seem to
dislike this origin however making him
more involved with the Fantastic Four
and essentially eliminating his home
country altogether other than a passing
mention in the 2005 version you know you
could always move back to latin period
this serves only to tangle up the story
and make the overall world smaller
severely weakening the character that
should be one of the greatest comic book
villains of all time there’s this guy
humanity had its chance
number seven the Phoenix x-men Last
Stand team develops two personality what
coming off two strong films the
expectations were high for the third
installment of the x-men franchise
particularly since it was going to
include the Dark Phoenix storyline one
of the most famous plot lines in all of
Marvel Comics in the comics when Jean
Grey turns into the Dark Phoenix she
essentially wields limitless power and
is nearly unstoppable in the film
however she becomes a pawn of Magneto
even pyro is given more to do than her
which is kind of saying something her
death is also glossed over and done
kinetic quickly as opposed to the noble
sacrifice she makes in the comics to
save her friends and the universe number
six Green Lantern’s costume Green
Lantern once with those great as
annoying and frustrating as it may be
for actors and actresses to have to wear
superhero costumes for hours at a time
it’s far better using a real costume as
opposed to one generated through a
computer that’s the route this film took
in 2011 and it did not turn out well
critics commented on how the CGI costume
did not mesh well with Ryan Reynolds
live-action head
while the film did things this way
because the Green Lantern ring generates
the costume it’s still supposed to look
like a real costume which it does
certainly not even Deadpool agrees
please don’t make the supersuit green or
animated I’m fine the Mandarin Iron Man
3 some people call me a terrorist
I consider myself a teacher as we’ve
stated before Marvel’s done a bunch of
things right with its cinematic universe
but one area that remains a struggle is
the lack of quality villain initially it
seemed like they had a great one on
their hands here in the comics the
Mandarin is Iron Man’s greatest foe and
it appeared like they created a modern
version of the character that was
equally compelling as well as terrifying
I’m going to shoot him in the head I am
on your television in 30 seconds instead
it’s revealed towards the end of the
film that Ben Kingsley’s portrayal is
exactly that a performance meandering
cease nor even the real Mandarin if guy
Pearce’s aldrich killian who has a
personal vendetta against Tony Stark
which is frustratingly similar to the
first two films and you know kind of
grab I am Number Four the Joker Suicide
Squad
would you believe when the initial
trailers for Suicide Squad came out one
of the most intriguing aspects of the
film was Jared Leto’s performance of the
Joker could he stand out from the other
great portrayal to the character in the
past that question is kind of still up
for debate since the film’s release some
people have called him merely a gangster
and makeup Wow others have praised his
original take on the super villain
one thing is certain however he is
completely unnecessary to the movie’s
plot you left me in a black hole of rage
and confusion with several themes
involving his character having been left
on the cutting-room for the Joker is
nothing more than an extended cameo and
ultimately had no reason to be included
in Suicide Squad I’m just gonna hurt you
really really bad number 3 Wolverines
origins x-men origins Wolverine because
I’m the best there is what I do
when I do best history while Wolverines
origin story has gotten increasingly
complicated in the comic the basic sir
still the same he is imprisoned as part
of the Weapon X program where she has
adamantium fused onto his bones and he
spends the majority of his life fighting
to be more than the weapon he was
created to be while the film includes
these aspects they also include a plot
involving the pretend murder of Logan’s
girlfriend Silver Fox by his
half-brother Victor Creed all of which
was orchestrated by William Stryker to
make Logan want to have the procedure
yeah none of it makes much sense
worse than that it detracts from
Wolverine character reducing him to a
pond that can easily be controlled go
alone ugh a man who exaggerated number 2
Lex Luthor Batman V Superman dawn of
Justice and now God to mine went long
when it was announced that Jessie
Eisenberg would play Lex Luthor many
people had concerns that he wouldn’t be
able to capture the intensity of a super
villain while Eisenberg certainly puts
it all on the line this portrayal of the
character was far more neurotic than
intense and so over the top acting
quickly becomes kind of a distraction
which makes several of it seems
difficult to watch you psychotic I was a
three syllable word for any thought too
big for little minds while the script
did the character new favors with its
convoluted storylines and questionable
character motivations it can’t be denied
that Eisenberg’s performance left a lot
to be desired and he turned one of the
greatest villains in the DC Universe
into what many consider to be a
doddering mess oh wow that is a good
grip you should not pick a fight with
this president before we unveil our
number one pick here a few honorable
mentions or in this case dishonorable
mentions
okay number one
Deadpool x-men origins Wolverine you
knew this one was coming right this is
easily one of the most baffling
portrayals of a great character in
cinematic history I mean where do we
even start the costume was completely
abandoned for starters they also ignored
his iconic physical traits and gave him
a number of powers including Cyclops
optic blast for some reason they remove
his dynamic personality and instead make
him a puppet of Stryker but worst of all
and you know this one’s coming too they
sewed his mouth shut
leaving him unable to talk Deadpool
unable to talk that would be kind of
like removing spider-man’s webs or
Wolverines claws
luckily comic book fans everywhere can
now pretend that this version of the
character never existed thanks to the
later film thanks to the metrics
[Applause]
