#Mjolnir @ Thor: ''you literally have a dead brother you never did this for but ok''

[worstloki]

I understand that Jane and Thor kissing was meant to be about Jane and Thor kissing but I couldn't stop thinking about how the exact same close up camera shots was Loki and how same scenario with more emotion and

Why TROS (The Rise of Skywalker) is better than Endgame (AKA absolute trash)

SPOILER WARNING!!! SCROLL IF YOU HAVENT SEEN TROS

Ok so apparently there’s actually a debate about which is better. First of all. I acknowledge that TROS may not be the best Star Wars movie to ever come out but compared to the trash that endgame/Infinity War are it was 10000x better.

TROS did a pretty good job with character development. Even though I’m not happy that Ben died, he had a purpose. There was no other choice in that situation but to do what he did and his death was more bittersweet than acutely painful. They did a great job redeeming him and the moment he talked to Han Solo made me so emotional. 8.5/10. the ending was satisfying and it left room for fans to make their own headcannons about the future.

Just some of the best moments

Look at the difference from the beginning to the end. *chefs kiss

Meanwhile...

Endgame and IW:

Carol?: reduced to a deus ex machina

Thor?: a fat joke; has no purpose for even being there anymore since anyone can use his hammer now

Steve?: threw away his entire new life to go back to the past with Peggy

Tony?: dead when it should've been nebula who killed thanos and his abusive dad got redemption

Natasha?: JUST found a family and redemption and happiness but she sacrificed herself for no reason

Wanda: had her trauma erased and basically made to not be taken seriously by the audience when thanos said he didn't even know who she is. And that’s exactly what happened.

Loki?: died for ABSOLUTELY no reason other than drama; undid his redemption arc

Gamora?: proved the trope that in the end you won't escape your abuser

Black panther/ wakanda?: reduced to ash in .5 seconds after they were supposed to be this great advanced nation

Banner?: basically useless bc he can't bring out the hulk. This couldve been their moment to truly show what BANNER can do but no. Apparently he's nothing without the hulk

And that’s just some of the characters they fucked up

1) The movie perpetuated a lot of misogynistic stereotypes (can’t expect anything better from the Russo’s), reducing most of the female characters to emotional wrecks (Wanda, nat), deus ex machinas that are shelved for most of the movie (carol) sacrificial lambs (gamora, nat), and plot devices for male characters (Peggy). And they think adding one “token feminist scene” is going to cover up their horrid treatment of the women in the rest of the movie

2) It supported basically most of the abusers in the MCU. Showing Gamora being sacrificed supported the trope that you can never escape your abuser. Loki being violently murdered for no reason showed that you can only find redemption in death (even though he was already redeemed). And tony easily forgiving Howard supports the idea that no matter how bad they are, you should forgive your abuser because they’re family.

3) Thor was ridiculed throughout the movie, undoing everything Ragnarok did for his character development. It’s like that movie never even existed at this point. Instead of showing him healing from his trauma, his weight, mental health, and destructive coping mechanisms were made fun of by all the characters. Would tony stark ever actually mock Thor for alcoholism when he struggled with the same thing? Would Valkyrie seriously just leave him alone to drink and forget his pain when she went through the same thing?

4) Another thing is Mjolnir. I get that steve was able to lift mjolnir in the comics. However what exactly makes him worthy in the MCU? We know that Hela and Odin were able to use mjolnir and there’s a pattern there. People who are blood related to Thor are worthy of wielding mjolnir. That’s why loki was never able to lift it. So why is steve Rogers, a human, able to use it. And with lighting powers on top of that. After the way Thor was treated in the movie (basically being useless until the fight at the end) what is the purpose in him even being there if now even humans are able to summon lighting like he can?? Lightning is something only Thor can do. Not even Odin can do it. It doesn’t make sense with the logic they’ve established in the MCU.

5) Going back to loki. Ragnarok already finished his redemption arc. He was ready to go to earth with thor and the rest of the asgardians. He was finally being treated as an equal yet the Russo brothers decided to kill him pointlessly and violently before even the title credits. That’s just disrespectful they reduced him to a plot device for drama, to make thanos seem dangerous. Now, Looking at the scene. Thanos was literally ready to let him go. He did not need to die. Loki had to have known that attempt to kill him wouldn’t have worked after being tortured by thanos for so long. He can’t be killed by a dagger. Loki isn’t that dumb. And he’s not that selfless. He wouldn’t sacrifice himself for no reason especially when he could’ve walked away unscathed. His death scenes was one of the most unnecessary, gruesome, graphic deaths I’ve ever seen from marvel. It made me feel sick. The sound of his bone snapping seeing the blood running down his eyes was it. They could’ve done so much with this character but they chose to do this instead. Hopefully the Disney + show fixes his character arc.

Overall, my expectations were low for both movies. But endgame was the biggest disappointment to the marvel franchise I’ve ever seen. TROS was truthfully very satisfying and did everything endgame wishes it did.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I hope the sun will shine on us again.

[asagimeta]

Ok so I never do movie break-downs/reveiws but Endgame is a one in a million type of thing, not only the end of an era, but the end of the era that started the enture connected-universe film genre, so I'm allowing myself because this moment is literally something we'll never have again, there is never going to be a "first" end of era again, sure some day the DCEU will do this, The Conjuring verse may do this, Arrowverse will actually do this next fall with Infinite Crisis, etc, but... this truly will be the only "first" time we get this end of era and I have Opinions so follow me down the rabbit hole

I'm only touching on a few points, as a head's up, and I generally really enjoyed the movie! I don't have the time or patience to type out everything I liked about it so there may seem like there's more criticism than praise but I promise you, I thoroughly enjoyed this and thought it was the best of the four Avengers movies by far

-I think my biggest complaint is the bullshit about the soul stone, for two reasons:

1. As a plot point, the soul stone decision being irreversable is just kind of ... weird, mostly because we don't have that much information on how it works, so it feels a little "stakes for the sake of stakes" to me

2. Are you really telling me that the only two people that had no chance of coming back are two of the only main female charectors the MCU has? Are you really, honestly, telling me that?

The MCU has gotten some more supporting female charectors and that's great but Nat and Gamora were only two of a very small feild of actual female LEADS, Mantis and Valkyrie and The Wasp and so on are great charectors but they aren't leads, and I feel like it was just a really bad decision on the filmmakers' parts to choose specifically those two and ONLY those two, it would have eased things a little if they had either brought back the original Gamora (and I'll touch on why this bothers me later) or if they had had a male involved in the Irreversable Soul Stone Death thing, it just feels frustratingly like fridging (I know it isn't but it feels that way) because there really honestly were other ways to go about it, Gamora being sacrificed in Infinity War was pretty unavoidable, but they didn't have to do Nat like that, and even if they did- because I do understand from a story perspective why they would- the ideal thing to do would have been to literally trade one soul for another, the soul stone only needs one soul to operate right? So when Natasha died, shouldn't Gamora have come back out of that thing? That would have been the ideal way to shift it in my opinion, it would create the kind of paradox that would make it impossible for Natasha to just snap back to existence (thus providing real stakes) but without the frustration of our only Gamora being AU!Gamora

And AU!Gamora is a PROBLEM

All of the development Gamora got in the first two Guardians movies is gone now, what she had with Peter is gone, what she had with Nebula is gone, her feelings of having a real family is gone.... and even if AU!Gamora builds those relationships anew, it's not going to be the same, she's working from scratch so she may as well be a new charector, and the fact that the Guardians and Nebula are already established makes it impossible for Gamora to form into the team the way she originally did, she's no longer one of the founding members with Peter, she's now an outsider being pulled into an existing group, she'll never understand the pain Nebula had been in when they fought because Nebula cares about her now and isn't going to fight her and thus express those feelings, she's never going to see just how badly Peter's father fucks him up or watch Peter sacrifice himself (ish) for the power stone because both of those are resolved issues now.....

The Gamora we knew and loved IS dead, we're working with a new one, and although I feel like Guardians 3 is going to be about finding and recruiting her, it still won't be the same and that's very frustrating

-On the topic of how things work, are you really telling me that after all of the "We have to be very carefull not to mess with the past" discussions, Steve just....... Did That? He really just lived an entire ass life mucking around with the past and having exactly zero consequences? Particularly, with Peggy, who we know for a fact was involved in major ways with Sheild? Like, I'm not speaking as a Captain America fan when I ask this, I'm legitimately confused as to why there was so much emphasis on "don't mess with the past" only for people to repeatedly do that, but ESPECIALLY Steve, it can kind of be excused to allow things like Tony talking to his dad- who doesn't know who he is- or Thor talking to his mom- who made it clear that she wasn't going to fight her fate even though she could- but Steve is just a big ol' block of confusion

Not only the Peggy thing, we could maybe excuse that, but he told his past self that Bucky was alive and his past self just... what...? Forgot??? How is it that he made such a significant change to his former self and there was exactly ZERO consequence at all? Not to mention Nebula killing past!Nebula but I can sort of hand-wave that one as having to do with actually creating a split universe (as proven by the Gamora and Thanos duplicates) but Cap ... Cap would have gone on, having had this weird encounter and being very "!!!!!!!!" about Bucky and done... what, nothing?? And if he did do something, why did that have no impact on the future at all?

I'm also conflicted on Captain America's ending as a charector, I'm glad he lived, but I almost would have preferred him having gotten stuck in the past by some Time Travel Bullshit Reason because it seemed OOC for him to leave his found family, put down his sheild, and risk the ENTIRE FUTURE by going to live a life with Peggy, even if that was a split universe, it still feels very .. I don't know the word for it, not "cop out" but too pushed I guess

For his entire journey to have centered on Steve changing as a person and getting used to living in essentially a new world, not to mention finding and saving Bucky and keeping him close, for him to completely regress and go back to America as it was, go back to the life he used to want, go live his future in the past, it all seemed really counterproductive of his journey and I actually would have preferred him going to retire elsewhere  if he really needed to

-Tony's death was probably the most avoidable thing to me because they laid out a perfect way for RDJ to exit: Retirement

I know that it was very "full circle" for Tony to begin the MCU with his life and end this era of it with his death and the ultimate form of charector growth for him to sacrifice himself, but it still felt really cheap to me when they had gone to the trouble of setting up his retirement so thoroughly and then still choosing to kill him off, I feel like it was more about "needing" to have an enormous death and choosing to "surprise" everyone by making it Tony instead of Steve versus what actually worked best for the story, Tony retiring to a quiet life that had nothing to do with money or fame or saving the world would have been equally showing of his growth in my opinion

These were my major complaints, but I have one plotline in particular that I really have the utmost praise for and that's Thor's

I know that alot of people are upset that Marvel treated his PTSD as a joke with the beer belly and the drunkness shennanigans but I don't personally veiw it that way, I don't think it was played as a joke, I think it was largely taken seriously, ofcourse I think Marvel DID put alot of the humor to ride on "lol Thor is fat and lazy now" wich is .. unfortunate, but I don't think it was as bad as alot of people are saying

Thor's conversation with his mother is probably my favorite part of the movie, Thor is consistantly shown to be a very sensitive, vulnerable person, wich is a MAGNIFICENT quality for someone who's also supposed to be the poster-boy for hypermasculinity

Thor is everything that Toxic Masculinity loves- He's a literal GOD who's gorgeous and gets attention from the ladies and beats shit up with a hammer, and he drinks, there is always EVERY opportunity to make him the living emodiement of A Fuckboy, but instead he's consistantly shown to be the exact opposite

He's sweet and compassionate and good-natured, he's openly affectionate and not afraid to cry in front of others or to wear his heart on his sleeve, he's gentle and supportive and loyal and a complete mama's boy in all of the positive uses for that term, and Endgame only reinforces all of that

Yes they made it a laughing point that he's gained weight and is an even bigger alcoholic than usual, but they also made it a point that out of everyone who had the opportunity to try to change the past, Thor is the only one who took it, because he simply couldn't stand being without his mother, not Tony who could have tried to tell his father to spend more time with him, or Steve who could have tried to see Peggy, but Thor, who just wanted his mom back

They made a huge point again and again over the fact that of everyone, Thor was taking this loss the hardest, that he had lost the most and felt the most responsible, and ultimately he also grew the most from it, he actually gave Mjolnir to Cap, gave New Asgard to Valkyrie (wich by the way is perhaps my absolute FAVORITE thing about the future of the MCU) and finally stopped trying to live up to what Odin wanted from him by trying to have a pissing math for leadership, he even "gave" Peter leadership of the Guardians, even if it was played for a joke, he never *actually* contested Peter, wich is a big step for him

Marvel isn't known for playing with trauma well, but as Marvel goes, I think Thor was handled well

I also have to say that I'm not mourning Loki yet, I feel like the after-credits scene for Guardians 3 is going to be Loki walking onto the ship going "Hello brother, did you miss me?"

Loki is in a unique position where he really could survive without having been a death from The Snappening, we KNOW that he knew something fishy was going on with the two Caps in the past and Loki is a sneaky devil who wouldn't just let something like that go, he probably devised a system for himself to come back to life or to have escaped Thanos in the first place once he realized in new-2012 that something was wrong, and unlike Tony and Steve, there are no story or contract reasons for the  MCU not to include Loki, especially since the Disney+ Loki series doesn't have anything to do with post-Endgame, atleast, yet to be mentioned

Sure split-universe!Loki would have the same problems that split-universe!Gamora has in that his development with Thor and his personal development caused by encounters with people like Hela are now moot, but unlike Gamora, Loki is still an anti-hero, he's still an asshole, and his relationship with Thor is a centuries-long one that has had many ups and downs, meeting Thor later in another villainous position wouldn't be OOC and he and Thor reconnecting over a new enemy would be fairly easy to recreate as opposed to Gamora re-experiencing a relationship with Nebula that has now permenantely changed, becoming a "new" member of the Guardians vs a founding member, and witnessing everything with Peter's family that happened Guardians 2 that can never be recreated- ever

Loki has also never been a leading role in the MCU, a core role yes, but not leading, it wouldn't be a problem for Tom Hiddleston to pop in and out of the MCU as he likes wile his primary series is on Disney+, and as that series is more of an anthology (Loki Screws With History: A Memoir) versus a chronological story to follow Endgame, Disney+ and the MCU don't even have to really consult with how the two stories would mesh, they're virtually strangers to eachother

There's, ofcourse, alot more I liked about this- the all female team-up, the importance placed on Ant-Man, everything to do with Nebula, and more, but this is all I really wanted to discuss or vent on

My Reaction to “Thor Ragnarok”

Bless.  This.  Movie.

Oooh, we’re panning up, oooohhh....

Thor, what happened?  Seriously, like how did you get into this situation?

The freaking skeleton though...

*starts singing Fresh Prince of Bel-Air*

Whoaaa....

Whaaaattt...

Thor’s hair is so long here.  Too bad it won’t last

Oh my gosh, Thor

GUYS, IT’S CLANCY BROWN!  DON’T MIND ME YELLING!

Mjolnir!

They freaking included “The Immigrant Song” into the movie!  Holy shit!

Totally did not see Surtur as a tall, skinny dude.

Thor movies totally redefining the body shape of bad guys everywhere

Wait, so that’s not Surtur’s eyebrows?!?

KARL URBAN!

KARL URBAN WITH HIS NATURAL AUSTRALIAN ACCENT!

Seriously, Thor, why are you in Muspelheim?

OH MY GOD, THERE’S A DRAGON!

A MOTHERWHINING SHAKEWEIGHT?!?  ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?

Hahahahaha... the freaking dragon head...

How come Skurge doesn’t have a personal horse there that he can ride into Asgard instead of actually jogging his heavy ass there?

Goddamn it, Loki...

Wait, is that Liam Hemsworth as Actor!Thor?

OH MY GOD IT’S MATT DAMON!

OH MY GOD THE FREAKING CHOIR!

Wait, please tell me that’s Sam Niell as Actor!Odin

Fake!Odin literally just said “Oh shit”

*ugly, ugly snickering*

So why is Odin’s color scheme now orange?

Thor’s pulling the freaking Jack Bauer Interview Technique on Loki

Aayyyy he [Loki] look good!

How has no one caught onto Fake!Odin?

One epileptic trip through the Bifrost later...

SHADY ACRES CARE HOME?!?

“I’m not a witch.”  “Then why did you dress like one?”  Oh my God

Thor, you’re too cute when it comes to taking pictures

“Sorry Jane dumped you [Thor].”  “It was a mutual dumping.”  NO SCREW THAT NOISE

#BringBackJaneFoster2k17

He [Thor] disguised Mjolnir... as an umbrella...

Doctor Strange!

YOOOO IT’S MAH BOI DR. STRANGE!!

Oh now they’re just replaying the end credit scene from “Doctor Strange”

“I [Thor] don’t have a phone.”  Then send a raven!

All right, I know it’s comic accurate for Dr. Strange to have yellow gloves but here they look weird

Mjolnir just freaking destroyed the New York Sanctum flying its way to Thor

“I [Loki] have been FALLING FOR 30 MINUTES!!!”  *cue ugly snickering*

Well shit, now I gotta go rewatch “Doctor Strange.”  Expect a rewatch post before Netflix removes all the Marvel movies.

“Alright, bye bye!”  Pffftttt....

This music here is great

Holy crap we haven’t seen Odin in four years.  I’m old.  I was a sophomore in high school when “Thor:  The Dark World” came out.  Dang.

Wait, so who’s Hela’s mother?  It’s definitely not Frigga, right?

Also wow, way to drop the secret sibling bomb on your son at the last minute, Odin.

Ooohhh there she [Hela] is!

Hela:  Kneel

Loki:  Bitch, you stole my line.

Hela’s entrance consisted entirely of her trash talking her younger brother.  Amazing.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!

Whaaaa that’s awesome!!

Whaaaaaaa!!!

Volstagg!

Aaaahhh it’s the Warriors- NOOOOO!!!

Man, Cate Blanchett looks freaking amazing

The heck?

That’s it.  I’m downloading the OST

That ramp is awesome

Valkyrie!  I dressed up as her for a Halloween party a few weeks ago!

She [Valkyrie] just freaking toppled off the ship, drunk...

This movie should be subtitled “Thor and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Weekend”

Oh hi Sakaar!

Where did Hela get her cape?  Did she rip off Volstagg or Fandral’s corpse or something?!?

“My father is dead.  As are the princes, you’re welcome.”  Pfffttt...

Hogun!

Ooohh I like that shot of Hogun’s mace

Oh shit are Asgardian capes bulletproof?  That’s awesome!

Damn Hela

NOOO HOGUN!!

Heimdall?

Is Thor on a Disney ride or something?

OH MY GOD IT’S THE OPENING TITLES FOR WILLY WONKA!

Who is freaking narrating the ride?

Oh, can’t you [Grandmaster] get up and walk the ten feet to Thor?

Valkyrie’s freaking flirting with the Grandmaster after getting paid... that’s totally Han Solo here

Isn’t that the dealer from “Guardians of the Galaxy,” the one Peter tried selling the Orb to?

“OHHH MY GOD!”  Thor, I love you.

Loki!

Confirmed:  the Grandmaster’s bi

Korg!  Taika!

“I tried to start a revolution...”  Hahaha!

“It’s a circle... more like a freaky circle.”  Hahaha!

Whoa...

WAIT HELA CARRIED MJOLNIR ONCE?!?

FENRIR!

“Faake!”  Oh my God!

The Tesseract!

The hell is that?

Wait, so is that Hel?  Like Hel, as in Hell, the place?

Whaaa that’s awesome!

Thor’s doing the Viking Prayer.  That’s awesome.

Bwahahahaha!

“PISS OFF, GHOST!”  Hahahaha!

Wait, there’s vampires in the MCU?

“Oh my God, the hammer pulled you off?”  HAHAHAHAHA!

“An elite form of [female] warriors.  It’s about time.”  Damn right, Thor!

STAN LEE!

Lots of screaming Thor in this movie

Damn Loki, that glass grab was slick

Unpopular Opinion:  I think Thor looks better with shorter hair

HUULLLKK!!

“I [Loki] have to get off this planet!”  Pffffftttt....

HE’S A FRIEND FROM WORK!

Even Loki’s freaking out for Thor

He’s [Thor] trying the calming down technique Natasha did from “Age of Ultron”

OH MY GOD

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!

Shit.

Whaaa...

So what kind of Asgardian is Skurge?

Umm, doesn’t Gungnir have the same power of Heimdall’s sword though?

YAAY!

Umm, can we talk about how gorgeous Asgard looks?

That’s not awkward at all

Gotta get a shirtless Chris in somewhere in a Marvel movie

We just saw Hulk’s butt onscreen...

Never imagined Thor being picky about interior design.

He’s probably a big fan of “Property Brothers”

Whoaa!

Things I Like:  Thor with orange eyes

Hulk is very much the petulant child here

Aaawww Hulk and Valkyrie are buddies!

“NO TEAM, ONLY HULK!”  Oh my gosh

Holy crap it’s been two years since we’ve seen the Quinjet

Point Break!

Natasha!

Wait, Bruce doesn’t remember the last two years?

Aaw Tony keeps a stash of clothes on the Quinjet whenever Bruce de-Hulks

Whoa!

Oh my gosh that’s awesome!

Wait, what do they mean “Banner might not come back?”

“I’m sorry, Tony wears his pants super tight around the crotch.”  Oh my God, no...

I am totally down for an AU of Bruce and Thor attending Holi and getting covered in colored chalk

“The Re-Revengers”  Oh my God I love it!

Holy crap, Loki’s the only one who actually addresses Bruce by his first name

“Wait, whose Anus?”  Oh my God no

“I need safe passage through the Anus.”  Loki just said that.

Aaww Thor’s favorite animal is a snake... WAIT OH MY GOD NO IT’S A REFERENCE TO THE WORLD SERPENT

“Aah, it’s me!”  Hahahaha!

“Loki, I thought the world of you.”  Aaawww...

GET HELP!

Goddammit another double

THEY JUST MENTIONED ‘ORGIES’ IN A MARVEL FILM!

Whoaaaa big fluffy boy [Fenris]

Skurge, no

“I [random Asgardian] know where the sword is.”  Goddammit

Whoa...

Ohh I like the detail of summoning people to the court with Gungnir

“OK, get up.”  Oh my gosh that line delivery was awesome.  She’s like an annoyed sibling- which she is- and that’s the sort of tone of voice I’ve used a lot surprisingly

Whoa...

Fenris!

AAAHHH!!!

Man, the Fenris Wolf looks awesome

Let’s go, Heimdall!

Oohhhhh...

Korg!

Wait, that means...

“Your savior is here!”  Freaking Loki

They’re pulling some “American Gods” shenanigans with these Odin visions and the colors

OOOHHH LET’S GO!

LET’S GO!

YEAAHHH “THE IMMIGRANT SONG!”

LET’S GO!

C’mon, Skurge...

Nooo- oh thank God

So are none of the Revengers gonna discuss how, oh I don’t know, Thor’s missing an eye?!?

C’mon, Skurge...

Dooon’t.... don’t think about it [the Tesseract], Loki!

God dang it

Yoooo Clancy Brown’s back!

Hulk, no!

Goddamn Hela, that’s awesome!

Please don’t tell me they killed off Hela

So... Asgard’s just.... gone

Liking the new eyepatch

He’s [Loki] actually there now!  Yay!

Oh my gosh, Thor’s little wave

Aaand we’re off to Norway

[comic-movieheroesranked]

Cinematic Comic Characters Ranked! (Year 2010) Part I

We’ve reached a decade of lists! To be honest the year 2010 was one of the weakest years when it came to decent comic movies but there were still some good ones! We get two sequels with Iron Man 2 and Predators and the debut of Kick-Ass, The Losers, Jonah Hex, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and one of the worst movies in cinema, The Last Airbender. Without any more delay here’s #74-51!

*SPOILER ALERT FOR ALL MOVIES HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE*

Cameo Appreciation: Stan Lee (Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2)

In his first cameo that ISN'T a Marvel movie, Stan Lee graces us with his presence in Kick-Ass. It's nothing fancy, he's just seen watching the news, but the fact he agreed to show up is hilarious and super fun. He shows up where he rightfully belongs in Iron Man 2. Like the movie before it, Tony Stark mistakes Stan Lee as a celebrity although this time it's Larry King.

Cameo Appreciation: Peter Parker (Iron Man 2)

Even though it started out as a fan theory, it was later confirmed that little Peter Parker made his MCU debut in Iron Man 2 instead of Captain America: Civil War. He's only a kid but his bravery against bad guys shows early on as he tries to stand up to one of the drones attacking the Expo with his Iron Man costume. Iron Man shows up just in time to really defeat the drone and it would mark the first, but not the last, time Tony Stark comes to Peter's rescue.

Cameo Appreciation: Princess Azula (The Last Airbender)

Towards the end of the film, Firelord Ozai is upset for many reasons. Commander Zhao was killed and his fleet retreated from the Northern Father Tribe, his brother betrayed him and is now a traitor to the country, and his son continues to dishonor him in his eyes. His solution? Release Pincess Azula, one of the greatest villains to appear on the small screen. With the new rules the film has to firebending I wonder how they would explain her blue flames or her lightning bending, but it's for the best that we'll never find out.

74. Adleman Lusk (Jonah Hex)

"It appears the bells are finally ready to toll on Washington."

A corrupt politician working for Turnbull, who basically slaps him around to get what he wants. Once their deal is finished Lusk mentions that if Turnbull were to fail, he'd die. Naturally Turnbul assures him that won't be a problem and kills him right then and there instead.

73. Haru and the Imprisoned Earthbenders (The Last Airbender)

*throws pebble*

Probably one of the biggest disappointments was the prison scene with little Haru and and the other earth benders. Their prison was literally surrounded by earth and yet they couldn't take out the few guards watching them? It took an eleven year old to point out 'Hey, there's rock under your feet!' for them to realize they could've broke out whenever they wanted? Haru's hair was flawless though.

72. Kanna (The Last Airbender)

"He will begin to change hearts, and it is in the heart that all wars are won."

Besides her whiteness, I didn't mind Kanna. She wasn't a big role in the show so there really wasn't a lot of material you could mess up with her. She cares about Katara and Sokka and believes it's their duty to join the Avatar on his mission.

71. Senator Stern (Iron Man 2)

"Funny how annoying a little prick can be, isn't it?"

This guy did not like Tony Stark but only because Tony wouldn't put America first and hand over his suit to the U.S. government. He starts a smear campaign against the Tony the entire film so when Tony saves the day it only makes sense that he forces Stern to be the one to give him his military award.

70. Smith (Jonah Hex)

"You get uglier every time I see you."

I liked Smith, thought he was a bit random, but I liked him. He's the one who's made all the bad ass weapons Jonah flaunts around throughout the movie. He likes working with Jonah and holds no ill will to him despite Jonah serving for the Confederate Army. Him and his two boys are present in Washington when Turnball launches his attack, but laughs it off once Jonah defeats him.

69. Dragon Spirit (The Last Airbender)

"You must show them the power of the ocean."

Ok so this dragon spirit was supposed to somehow guide Aang on his quest but for some reason was telling him to do the exact things in the show that nearly destroyed him and other people. Perfect example? Telling him to create the huge tidal wave against the fire nation. That's not how it went and it was also super weird that he showed up during Aang mourning for Monk Gyatso but it wasn't the biggest mistakes this movie made.

68. Lieutenant Grass (Jonah Hex)

"We want Turnbull dead."

Lieutenant Grass is sent by the President to find Jonah and hire him to take out Turnbull before the other can create his ultimate weapon and attack Washington. Since Turnbull killed his family Jonah easily accepts, but fails to take him out. This leaves Grass as Washington's only defense but he's easily killed by Turnbull's weapon.

67. Master Pakku (The Last Airbender)

"Water benders! Prepare for battle!"

Because of the time constraints, Master Pakku was reduced to more of a background character who taught Aang and Katara how to water bend and who led the Northern Water Tribe to battle against the Fire Nation. Because of this we don't get to see his misogynistic views on female waterbenders and we alos don't know of his love for Kanna, Katara and Sokka's grandma.

66. Sergeant Marcus Williams (Kick-Ass)

"You owe that girl a childhood."

A minor character in the film, Marcus was Big Daddy's partner when he was a cop and took care of Hit-Girl when he was in jail. Because of this, he cares for her well being and vocally does not approve of Big Daddy turning her into a killing machine instead of being a regular child. Still, he's always helping his friend and even becomes Hit-Girl's guardian after Big Daddy dies.

65. Julie Powers (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

"Stay away from Ramona Flowers!"

Like most girls in the movie, Julie hated Scott but not because she dated him, but because he would date her 'friends' and then they'd leave after they broke up. She's specifically talking about Envy and because of their breakup tries to prevent Scott from dating Ramona. However she seems to forget all about them once Envy comes back to town, who totally doesn't see her as a friend.

64. Agent Coulson (Iron Man 2)

"If you try to escape, or play any sort of games with me, I will taze you and watch "Supernanny" while you drool into the carpet."

Agent Coulson comes back briefly to keep on eye on Tony after his drunk disaster at his birthday party. He's probably only with him for two days tops before Nick Fury reassigns him to New Mexico, where he finds the mighty Mjolnir in the middle of a crate. So, obviously, Coulson was only plugged in to tease the next Marvel movie, Thor.

63. Kyle and Ken Katayanagi (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

*summons twin dragons*

Even though the Katayanagi twins are the 5th and 6th exes to go up against Scott and should be really strong, they don't really leave a lasting impression. They're able to summon dragons out of their electronic music but with the Sex Bob-Ombs helps, Scott is able to blast these two away with little trouble.

62. Cuchillo (Predators)

"I unleash."

Cuchillo was a powerful drug lord before he was taken by the Predators to be their prey. He talked a big game with his two machine guns, but he did seem older and slower than the rest of the group. He's the first one to go when the Predators unleash their hounds on the group. We don't see him go, but we do see the Predators try to fool the group into a trap with his corpse and pre-recorded pleas.

61. Monk Gyatso (The Last Airbender)

"I won't let them take you, Aang."

I had no problem with Monk Gyatso being black. The Air Nomads aren't technically a nation so, to me, it's fine if their ethnicity is ambiguous. He's Aang's mentor and the closest he has to a father figure. Finding out he can't be with him as the Avatar is what prompts Aang to runaway in the first place, saving him when the Fire Nation arrives and kills Monk Gyatso and the rest of the Air Nomads.

60. Ulysses S. Grant (Jonah Hex)

"This country could use a sheriff."

When the President finds out Turnbull is alive and well, he realizes the man's potential for destruction and declares him a threat to the country. He figures the only one capable of stopping him is Jonah and assigns him the task of killing Turnbull and his men. He mostly stays in the background worrying about Turnbull until Turnbull attacks Washington in the middle of his speech. When Jonah stops him, President Grant offers him a job as the country's sheriff. Jonah declines but they still manage to part on good terms.

59. Stans (Predators)

"If we ever make it home, I'm going to do so much fucking cocaine."

I feel like every movie has to have at least one guy that you just can't for them to die. Stans was that guy. A prisoner on death row, Stans was a really twisted guy who's idea of fun was incredibly questioning. He didn't add anything useful to the group but at least when he was killed it was out of an act of selflessness? His death was the most brutal, which was his spine and skull being ripped out of his body.

58. Stacey Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

"Wallace? Again?"

Anytime Scott does something stupid his little sister Stacey finds out thanks to Wallace who likes to gossip to her. She's so focused on trying to get Scott busted for dating Ramona and Knives at the same time when she needs to focus her energy on Wallace, who keeps stealing her boyfriends.

57. Marty, Todd, and Erika Cho (Kick-Ass)

"You guys never saw 'One Night in Spider-Man'?"

Marty and Todd are Dave's best friends while Erika is friend's with Katie. The trio didn't start hanging out until Dave and Katie started dating. They're a bunch of regular teenagers that take every opportunity to joke around and have fun. While Marty develops a crush on Hit-Girl, Todd and Erika actually become a couple at the end of the film.

56. Jeb Turnbull (Jonah Hex)

"He was my father! I didn't have a choice!"

Jeb didn't dared disobey his father so when Jonah, his best friend, did, he had no choice but to take him out. Unfortunately for him, Jonah is quicker and has a better shot. Jeb then spends the days of his afterlife watching as his best friend and his father go down their own paths of darkness. When he gets over the fact that Jonah killed him, he decides to help him take down his father once and for all.

55. Roxanne 'Roxy' Richter (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

"Well I'm just a little bi-furious!"

Roxy is the 4th ex Scott has to battle and the only girl Ramona has dated. She's able to teleport via smoke and owns a pretty deadly belt whip. Ramona has to help Scott take her down since Scott won't fight a girl and Roxy ends up dying from...an orgasm? Turns out the back of her knee is one of her sensitive spots.

54. Matthew Patel (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

"Pirates are in this year!"

Matthew is Ramona's 1st ex, therefore being Scott's first opponent. His mystic powers involve fire but it doesn't help him much as he's the only ex Scott fights that loses to just him alone. Even the coins Scott's rewarded isn't good enough to get Scott a bus fare, while all the other exes have rewards in the thousands.

53. Mombasa (Predators)

"I'm ready to die. Are you?"

I liked Mombasa. He didn't back down from confrontation and had a sense of honor to him that quickly left him respected among the others in the group. It's a shame that he was the one that died due to Royce's plan because it wasn't a quick death as several spikes shot out and through his body.

52. Commander Zhao (The Last Airbender)

"The Fire Nation's power will not succumb to childhood superstitions!"

With Firelord Ozai becoming a more featured character in the film, a lot of the twisted things that made Commander Zhao so hated in the show wasn't shown in the movie. Zhao just appeared as another lackey and not a dangerous person with no respect for the spirits and a thirst for power that makes him unstable. Killing the moon spirit wasn't even his idea in the film. It also bugged me that instead of the water spirit taking revenge on Zhao, he's taken out by some random waterbenders.

51. Wade Travis (The Losers)

"I was born in Quebec."

Wade was Max's lackey. I thought he was going to be a threat but he didn't really do anything intimidating except for when he threw that guy over the building. He fails at protecting Max's money and when it looks like he's going to do something cool in a motorcycle, Cougar takes him out in an explosion.
