@kangarooster no offense, but wanting to have sex with someone doesn't mean it isn't rape if they, well, rape you. a person cannot consent when drugged, as Christian was, and furthermore, he wasn't an active participant. if you remember the scene, one of the other people present has to literally move Christian's hips for him. even if you ignore that part, he was drugged and couldn't consent.
@kangarooster To be fair, their whole affair was kicked off by Maja, in that the first day they are there she literally taps Christian’s arse when they’re doing that weird running around thing, and she does slowly force her way onto him with the disgusting love ritual etc. Also, a few scenes preceding the sex scene, Christian goes to Siv’s house, and he does ask her if he can get ‘a unique glimpse into their sexual rites without participating’, which makes me think he’s not exactly desperate to fuck her.
Uh Christian didn’t cheat, him screwing that red girl from the tribe I forgot the name of was in no way consensual on his end. He was under so many drugs by an evil cult, and did the narrator forget how horrified he was when he figured out what happened?
1) Christian was raped, and I'm kind of iffy on all his actions since they arrive at Harga since the whole group is being highly manipulated 2) If you think Midsommar has a happy ending, congratulations, you're highly susceptible to the influence of cults (or stupid enough to join one, I don't know which).
Not a happy ending. All the death is bad enough, but I honestly find the scariest thing being that she found more "companionship" with the cult than anyone else and how I recognize it, but also can't blame her by the state of mind she's in by the end. If you think that ending is good for her personally (even if not happy as endings go), then turn to the news and go "ohhh... everyone just wants to feel welcome and heard... even if doing things that harm others in the name of faith and difference of culture... maybe we need to work on judging and isolating people so they're not susceptible to this." Oops... getting too real here.
the point of Midsommar is that cult manipulation and recruitment tactics are frighteningly effective - especially for vulnerable people. Yes, it’s an unhappy ending but cult victims aren’t stupid…
I believe the guy actually said if people thought it was a happy ending then he did his job right in showing how successful cults are in making you feel comfort for their twisted mistakes

Nicole in 47 Metres Down Uncaged. Couldn’t wait for her turn to be winched up to the top of the hole so she climbs the rope, causing it to break and leaving the other with no way to climb out, only to lose her grip at the top anyway causing her to plummet a jump into the water where she is torn to pieces by the sharks.
i was expecting to see the survivor of the circle on this list… he literally tricked a pregnant woman and a child to sacrifice themselves so he can live!
While it wasn't a hugely popular movie, Roach from Demon Knight deserves a spot on this list. He had a hand in every person being killed in the movie and only thought of himself, helping the collector to save himself, sacrificing others when trying to escape, and outright betraying everyone knowing that it would kill them all.
Jeff from Cabin Fever. Douche left all his friends to die and isolated himself to make sure he would survive (not knowing it was the water that was actually infecting his friends)
Actually, it didn't seem so hard for Marty. Early in the movie, when they're still on their way to the cabin, he talks about how society has become so bloated that it needs a reset. And as for selfish, the choice was either Marty dies, or everyone dies, including Marty and Dana. It's the choice of the lesser evil still being evil. And the facility had just killed their friends.
@kangarooster I don't really understand how that's selfish. Like, they aren't gaining anything or saving themselves? They had a fundamental idea that the world should come to an end...but I don't see how that's selfish.
@kangarooster if you're claiming someone gave them the right, the counterpart is that they gain the responsibility of that as well. NOTHING they did implied consent, acceptance, understanding or a iota of respect for them by the keepers. They didn't play god at all - the gods were in the basement themselves; all the little things were just temporary palliatives. If you want evil, you'd want to see how the keepers nonchalantly treat sacrificing humans as a joke. Even the Aztecs/Mayans/Inca/Carthage/India/etc. knew better and treated their human sacrifices with -admittedly morbid - respect. Note: to address some of the objections: some of the humans destined for sacrifice were treated somewhat reverently - not all, not even most of them. But to think that two characters that have been treated like crap through the movie (they were laughing stock and being wagered upon by the custodians), have no descendants and should care for anyone else when they are dead anyway is fairly unreasonable.
@@tychoMX Since when were human sacrifices treated with respect? That's utter bullshit. A lot of them were literally based on discrimination (for example, various of these corpses have been found to showcase deformity), or were criminals (whom typically were treated badly). Not to mention their brutal deaths. That literally goes against even 'morbid' respect. None of those were consentual either, so why are you bringing up consent?
@@inferiorinferno8859 you may need to brush up on "Guerras Floridas", where literally the captives were nobles from other clans. The prehispanic ball game. Or the legend of the 5th sun. Also note: None of that makes it alright, but saying that the characters in this movie should have done differently is more than questionable. Also: I'm against human sacrifice. And yes, the Aztecs thought they needed to sacrifice copious amounts of people to keep the sun moving around the skies. It was bullshit then as much as religious dogma is still bullshit now.
To be fair in Jaws, it's explained in the book that if Amity Island has a bad season that the whole town will pretty much live in poverty for the rest of the year and maybe for years to come if people stop coming. That's why Mayor Vaughn is reluctant to shut the beaches. It's not greed. It's the pressure he's under to keep the Island's people economically safe.
@@TSmeowMeow Place yourself in the position of one of the small business owners. You saved the tourists from a shark attack, and now, you cannot feed your family. I was unaware that survival is greedy.
actually in the book "i know what you did last summer" the person they hit and killed was a child and all of them mutually agreed to not stop to help and not tell anyone. all in all, the entire cast was incredibly selfish and about ten times more awful in the book. also the killer in the book was the kid's dad and not zombie fisherman with a hook lol.
*brother - the villain was the kid’s brother. The fisherman wasn’t a zombie until the garbage third movie And the book was pretty good on the mystery aspect, but nobody dies in the book (aside from the kid)
Yes, Trent shouldn't show off his wealth like that, but in his defense, I would become pretty angry if my friends carelessly handled my stuff as well. Who wouldn't?

You do understand that what you are saying is literally you being as selfish as everyone who didn't gave a damn about Covid regulations.

Tbh, If Dana and Marty had made the sacrifice and let the cycle continue, then I think another group would've managed the same thing eventually and would've made that choice instead of them
Damn. You nailed that #1. I love Ed. I've been in turns both an Ed and had one. The only thing I miss here is Roach from Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Dude is absolutely 💯 grade-A selfish prick. On top of him later selling out the chosen protector of the key, and all of us with it, The guy forces his girlfriend into making an attempt to escape, they get ambushed by Billy Zane at his Zaniest, and a couple of nameless demons, Roach shoved his girlfriend at the demons, turned, and sprinted back inside. Pretty sure that would be in the top 5.
I don't think Dana and Marty were selfish. I mean imagine how many other people went through what they did and how many families have no idea what happened to them. Plus, there were any number of ways the government could have gone about the sacrifices. Hell, they could have started a cult who sacrifices members every few years. At least the cult members would know what they were getting into.
Even though she really didn't deserve her horrifying fate,Christine Brown from Drag me to Hell was a bit selfish. She could have given Mrs.Ganush a payment extension instead of acting all cold and tough for a promotion. Of course,she had no way of knowing about the old lady's "friend in a low place"
Reiko Asakawa, from "Ringu" could arguably be on this list, as she willingly sacrifices her father to save her son and also allows Sadako's curse to spread by pushing the "cure" into the urban legend itself.
.....yeah...I don't think anyone is gonna see sacrificing a father to save a son as selfish...if she wasn't just saving herself. I mean, I haven't seen it, but if it's written w any sense of realism outside of the supernatural, from what I've heard most humans would be chill with sacrificing themselves to save any child, much less their own grand child. That is if you believe peoples bullshit and don't think they are lying to themselves.
Number 9 at least had the excuse in the book that he was in deep with the mob and they wouldn't let him close the beaches the film version has no excuse
He was the ONLY character attempting to fight off the infected as they broke into the cottage (until he lost his crowbar weapon), thereby giving the others a little extra time. He chased after his wife instead of following the apparently planned exit route the others took. He repeatedly tried to convince her that they HAD to leave (ie no time to waste for searching for or convincing the kid to follow). When the infected broke into the room between him and his wife, the director (and actor) did an excellent job showing the pained expression as he assessed the situation, realized he could do nothing to save her (or the kid), and chose to flee. Even still, he just BARELY escapes. And you call him "the textbook definition of selfish?"

I don't think what Dana and Marty did in Cabin in the Woods was made from a place of selfishness at all. I think they see it more as "if this is what it takes for humanity to survive, do we deserve to?" and gamble to see if the Old Ones will awaken after all.
Cabin in the Woods ending makes sense when you look at it from the other direction. If you realized that people have been sacrificing others for centuries, would YOU decide that humanity deserved another chance? Personally, I think the human race was doomed a long time ago... starting when they the sacrifices were used to keep the "Elder Gods" pacified.... maybe I'm selfish, too.
I thought midsummer sucked mainly because the characters were completely poorly written. I should not be thinking in the first few minutes of the film, "Wow these people are such unbelievably assholes. It is so obvious, heavy handed and pantomimed so that we can root for our hero and not feel bad when all the others are killed".
That was one of the things I hated too. Like the scene where that guy starts pissing against the sacred tree, for example. As a Dutch woman who grew up on the countryside, I've been at the non-cult version of these summer parties as a child all the time. A lot of people, even heavily on alcohol and XTC don't urinate in public like that, and just walk a few more meters (bunch of feet) to the trees in the back. It literally felt like a plot device to kill the guy off and show what an (cartoonish) asshole he is.
I’d say it was the most divisive film of 2019 but 2019 was also the year Joker came out… and JoJo rabbit… and toy story 4… and despite it not coming out in 2019 most of the Hunts controversy happened in 2019
Whoa whoa whoa, Olivia is on this list, but Markie isn't? She's probably one of the most selfish characters and worst friends ever. She cancels Olivia's plans because she wants to party, constantly cheats on her boyfriend, pretty much right in front of him, she would have rather Olivia died than sleep with Lucas and she's the reason this whole truth or dare thing started basically.
Husband and Son? Um, her daughters name is Jessica. (Also thank you, when I saw Truth Or Dare in the thumbnail, I was so scared you'd choose the guy who tricked them, and not Olivia.) Also I don't know what you mean by 'turns out they were having an affair before he died', I would HOPE so, as far as I'm aware she's not a necrophiliac??? Also hard agree on most of the comments, Christian was drugged and raped. Pelle, the guy who TRICKED them into coming there, was pretty selfish. Also Marty and Dana had to choose between the cycle continuing, people constantly being sacrificed all over the world to satisfy the old ones, or just ending it now. Either way there would be death. They decided to break the cycle.
Personally I would have put Markie on the list instead of Olivia mainly because she got mad at Olivia for admitting that Markie was cheating on her boyfriend all the time
With retcons being the thing now (the recent Halloween movies are a good example) I'd love to see this treatment given to the Alien franchise. Dump 3 and beyond, start from scratch at the logical next step, and restore the survivors of Aliens. Who to helm it would be the question after seeing so many great creators come and go in recent years.
For those of you that are criticising Josh for saying Christian was a cheat in Midsommar, look at the credits of this article. Josh didn't write this article - a lady called Lily Elbourn did. So it's Lily that misunderstood Midsommar, Josh is only narrating what she wrote.
The Mayor from Jaws gets my blood boiling when he decides not to listen to Chief Brody and Marine biologist Matt Hooper and keep the beaches open cause he doesn't believe that the shark is still out there
Always thought Dana and Marty were selfish as hell, and that ending made no sense. So she won’t kill a friend, but she will kill her parents, any siblings, all family and friends, and everyone on the planet for a guy who is about to die in ten minutes anyway……for what?
Should have combined both of Lucy Hale's blumhouse flick characters (truth or dare/fantasy island), lol. Both selfish in their own rights. But that truth or dare one...what a punk...she screwed us all!
@@thecunninlynguist yeah but still without her best friend everyone would be still alife and probably no one would thing actually that smart to use TH-cam to save themselves
I seriously don't understand how the guy in midsomer can possibly be considered the 2nd most selfish character he's the one sacrificed for a vague idea of revenge and satisfaction by the female character its her who selfishly sacrifices life to achieve a selfish sense of satisfaction
@@bobthedopeman7327 Well, under the status quo of that world, a group of several jaded men get to pick and choose which young people get to live and which are to be sacrificed. That's pretty selfish too, and if you agree to a system that requires frequent human sacrifices to perpetuate your civilization, your civilization probably deserves to crumble.
Cabin in the Woods - why should Marty sacrifice himself? He beat the entire system, if anything he earned it. There were plenty other scenarios - J-Horror, Amityville etc that failed miserably too. If anything, it was those bunch of incompetent keepers you would rather blame.
100% agreed about the number 1, in fact, it was the worst part of the movie for me. I was expecting them to jump together but instead they let all humanity die and I was just disgusted.
I absolutely HATED Olivia from Truth or Dare.what she did at the ending absolutely pissed me off - cursing everyone with the demon.she is one of the very small number of female leads I hated,other than the chic from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3d
#5- I actually watched that movie back when I still had Netflix but that was because I mistook it for a movie of the same name. I remember seeing previews for a movie and one thing in the trailer had someone saying “I dare you to cut out your tongue.” That statement is then followed by a girl screaming.
Never mind. I haven’t seen that one either. The one I saw was Truth or Dare 2017. It’s the one where the guy dies in the first scene because of his face being melted off with acid. At least I think that’s what happened. It’s been a while since I saw the movie.
I only have one major issue here. It's referring to what happened in midsommar as Christian cheating on her. He was sexually assaulted. Like you switched the genders there and you drug a woman put her out of her mind to get her to have sex with a man and there is no way that you would refer to it as cheating.
Peter From Final Destination 5 Jack Byron from Anaconda 2 Chavez and Brandon from Wrong Turn 3 Francesca from Ghost Ship Those are the few ones I can remember.....
You may want to watch the film again. She was a werewolf from the start and only helped because she took an interest in Cooper. When she realized he'd never agree to be turned into her mate, she let the werewolves in the house. Those werewolves were her family which is why she lied about them being in the barn. She didn't want the soldiers to succeed in killing any of the werewolves.
Things Christian from Midsommar is: an asshole who wanted to leave a relationship way longer than before who gaslights his emotionally damaged girlfriend Things Christian from Midsommar **isnt**: a cheater. that scene wth the girl was rape. he was drugged. he could **NOT** consent. because he was under the influence of drugs. If he and the girl were both sober then yes. Hed be a cheater, but he wasn't sober. He very well could have cheated before the film.

Couldn’t wait for her turn to be winched up to the top of the hole so she climbs the rope, causing it to break and leaving the other with no way to climb out, only to lose her grip at the top anyway causing her to plummet a jump into the water where she is torn to pieces by the sharks.
Hell yeah
I waited the whole time for the businessman from Train to Busan. Probably the most selfish character I’ve seen in a horror movie
i was expecting to see the survivor of the circle on this list… he literally tricked a pregnant woman and a child to sacrifice themselves so he can live!
Yessss! Right?! One of my favorite movies. He’s a POS
Actually Dana tried to kill Marty but the warewolf stopped her…
Love this channel so much y’all are great!
While it wasn't a hugely popular movie, Roach from Demon Knight deserves a spot on this list. He had a hand in every person being killed in the movie and only thought of himself, helping the collector to save himself, sacrificing others when trying to escape, and outright betraying everyone knowing that it would kill them all.
Demon Knight! Wow! That’s a way back trip down memory lane!
What a great movie. Even better soundtrack!!!
@@scottstefanik6324 I love that movie, oneo f my favorite Billy Zane movies. HE is amazing in it, and I agree KILLER soundtrack

Same could be said for Jay
Also Dennis Nedry from Jurassic Park. Thanks to his greed, the park went haywire.
I never thought of Dana and Marty as selfish. It appeared they were making the hard choice to renew the world
Actually, it didn't seem so hard for Marty. Early in the movie, when they're still on their way to the cabin, he talks about how society has become so bloated that it needs a reset. And as for selfish, the choice was either Marty dies, or everyone dies, including Marty and Dana. It's the choice of the lesser evil still being evil. And the facility had just killed their friends.
@kangarooster I don't really understand how that's selfish. Like, they aren't gaining anything or saving themselves? They had a fundamental idea that the world should come to an end...but I don't see how that's selfish.
@kangarooster if you're claiming someone gave them the right, the counterpart is that they gain the responsibility of that as well. NOTHING they did implied consent, acceptance, understanding or a iota of respect for them by the keepers. They didn't play god at all - the gods were in the basement themselves; all the little things were just temporary palliatives.
If you want evil, you'd want to see how the keepers nonchalantly treat sacrificing humans as a joke. Even the Aztecs/Mayans/Inca/Carthage/India/etc. knew better and treated their human sacrifices with -admittedly morbid - respect.
Note: to address some of the objections: some of the humans destined for sacrifice were treated somewhat reverently - not all, not even most of them. But to think that two characters that have been treated like crap through the movie (they were laughing stock and being wagered upon by the custodians), have no descendants and should care for anyone else when they are dead anyway is fairly unreasonable.
@@tychoMX Since when were human sacrifices treated with respect? That's utter bullshit. A lot of them were literally based on discrimination (for example, various of these corpses have been found to showcase deformity), or were criminals (whom typically were treated badly). Not to mention their brutal deaths. That literally goes against even 'morbid' respect. None of those were consentual either, so why are you bringing up consent?
@@inferiorinferno8859 you may need to brush up on "Guerras Floridas", where literally the captives were nobles from other clans. The prehispanic ball game. Or the legend of the 5th sun.
Also note: None of that makes it alright, but saying that the characters in this movie should have done differently is more than questionable. Also: I'm against human sacrifice. And yes, the Aztecs thought they needed to sacrifice copious amounts of people to keep the sun moving around the skies. It was bullshit then as much as religious dogma is still bullshit now.
To be fair in Jaws, it's explained in the book that if Amity Island has a bad season that the whole town will pretty much live in poverty for the rest of the year and maybe for years to come if people stop coming. That's why Mayor Vaughn is reluctant to shut the beaches. It's not greed. It's the pressure he's under to keep the Island's people economically safe.
So... Greed.
@@TSmeowMeow Place yourself in the position of one of the small business owners. You saved the tourists from a shark attack, and now, you cannot feed your family. I was unaware that survival is greedy.
@@TSmeowMeow economic survival and greed are two very different things.
The Mafia made him keep the beach open
actually in the book "i know what you did last summer" the person they hit and killed was a child and all of them mutually agreed to not stop to help and not tell anyone. all in all, the entire cast was incredibly selfish and about ten times more awful in the book. also the killer in the book was the kid's dad and not zombie fisherman with a hook lol.
the book sounds a lot cooler than the movie, based off ur description
*brother - the villain was the kid’s brother.
The fisherman wasn’t a zombie until the garbage third movie
And the book was pretty good on the mystery aspect, but nobody dies in the book (aside from the kid)
Yes, Trent shouldn't show off his wealth like that, but in his defense, I would become pretty angry if my friends carelessly handled my stuff as well. Who wouldn't?

You do understand that what you are saying is literally you being as selfish as everyone who didn't gave a damn about Covid regulations.

Tbh, If Dana and Marty had made the sacrifice and let the cycle continue, then I think another group would've managed the same thing eventually and would've made that choice instead of them
Damn. You nailed that #1.
I love Ed. I've been in turns both an Ed and had one.
The only thing I miss here is Roach from Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight.
Dude is absolutely 💯 grade-A selfish prick. On top of him later selling out the chosen protector of the key, and all of us with it, The guy forces his girlfriend into making an attempt to escape, they get ambushed by Billy Zane at his Zaniest, and a couple of nameless demons, Roach shoved his girlfriend at the demons, turned, and sprinted back inside.
Pretty sure that would be in the top 5.
Love this channel
I don't think Dana and Marty were selfish. I mean imagine how many other people went through what they did and how many families have no idea what happened to them. Plus, there were any number of ways the government could have gone about the sacrifices. Hell, they could have started a cult who sacrifices members every few years. At least the cult members would know what they were getting into.
Even though she really didn't deserve her horrifying fate,Christine Brown from Drag me to Hell was a bit selfish. She could have given Mrs.Ganush a payment extension instead of acting all cold and tough for a promotion. Of course,she had no way of knowing about the old lady's "friend in a low place"
No, she had already two unpaid loans remember? Why should she be given a 3rd?
Reiko Asakawa, from "Ringu" could arguably be on this list, as she willingly sacrifices her father to save her son and also allows Sadako's curse to spread by pushing the "cure" into the urban legend itself.
.....yeah...I don't think anyone is gonna see sacrificing a father to save a son as selfish...if she wasn't just saving herself. I mean, I haven't seen it, but if it's written w any sense of realism outside of the supernatural, from what I've heard most humans would be chill with sacrificing themselves to save any child, much less their own grand child. That is if you believe peoples bullshit and don't think they are lying to themselves.
Number 9 at least had the excuse in the book that he was in deep with the mob and they wouldn't let him close the beaches the film version has no excuse
i was sad to not see Don from 28 weeks later on this list! He is the textbook definition of selfish.
He was the ONLY character attempting to fight off the infected as they broke into the cottage (until he lost his crowbar weapon), thereby giving the others a little extra time. He chased after his wife instead of following the apparently planned exit route the others took. He repeatedly tried to convince her that they HAD to leave (ie no time to waste for searching for or convincing the kid to follow).
When the infected broke into the room between him and his wife, the director (and actor) did an excellent job showing the pained expression as he assessed the situation, realized he could do nothing to save her (or the kid), and chose to flee. Even still, he just BARELY escapes. And you call him "the textbook definition of selfish?"
The father in 28 Weeks Later?! I mean c'mon!!!
He was the ONLY character to fight the infected as they broke into the cottage (until he lost the crowbar). He chased after his wife instead of following the apparently planned exit the others took. He tried repeatedly to convince her that they had no time and had to leave IMMEDIATELY.
When the infected break into the room on the upper floor between him and his wife, the director (and actor) did an excellent job showing the pained expression on his face as he quickly assesses the situation, realizes he can't save his wife (or the kid), and decides to flee. Even then, he just BARELY escapes, and his guilt follows him right up until he becomes infected.
And you'd characterize these actions as selfish?
So christian being drugged and raped apparently means he cheated.... ooookay you guys need to know what cheating actually means
It's 2021, we live in a PC society where men are looked down on and "only women can be raped"
I don't think what Dana and Marty did in Cabin in the Woods was made from a place of selfishness at all. I think they see it more as "if this is what it takes for humanity to survive, do we deserve to?" and gamble to see if the Old Ones will awaken after all.
Also, the white dude (Rose's brother) from Get Out should been added to this list as well.
The descent is the reason I’m scared of small spaces😳
This really needs a part two because there are plenty more people who should have been on this list.
Cabin in the Woods ending makes sense when you look at it from the other direction.
If you realized that people have been sacrificing others for centuries, would YOU decide that humanity deserved another chance?
Personally, I think the human race was doomed a long time ago... starting when they the sacrifices were used to keep the "Elder Gods" pacified.... maybe I'm selfish, too.
I thought midsummer sucked mainly because the characters were completely poorly written. I should not be thinking in the first few minutes of the film, "Wow these people are such unbelievably assholes. It is so obvious, heavy handed and pantomimed so that we can root for our hero and not feel bad when all the others are killed".
That was one of the things I hated too. Like the scene where that guy starts pissing against the sacred tree, for example. As a Dutch woman who grew up on the countryside, I've been at the non-cult version of these summer parties as a child all the time. A lot of people, even heavily on alcohol and XTC don't urinate in public like that, and just walk a few more meters (bunch of feet) to the trees in the back. It literally felt like a plot device to kill the guy off and show what an (cartoonish) asshole he is.
I’d say it was the most divisive film of 2019 but 2019 was also the year Joker came out… and JoJo rabbit… and toy story 4… and despite it not coming out in 2019 most of the Hunts controversy happened in 2019

Whoa whoa whoa, Olivia is on this list, but Markie isn't? She's probably one of the most selfish characters and worst friends ever. She cancels Olivia's plans because she wants to party, constantly cheats on her boyfriend, pretty much right in front of him, she would have rather Olivia died than sleep with Lucas and she's the reason this whole truth or dare thing started basically.
Markie is in my opinion the worst movie character ever
@@InsanityContainmentz Markie sucks so bad. There's nothing redeemable about her
@@janetalksreel yep
Husband and Son? Um, her daughters name is Jessica. (Also thank you, when I saw Truth Or Dare in the thumbnail, I was so scared you'd choose the guy who tricked them, and not Olivia.) Also I don't know what you mean by 'turns out they were having an affair before he died', I would HOPE so, as far as I'm aware she's not a necrophiliac???
Also hard agree on most of the comments, Christian was drugged and raped. Pelle, the guy who TRICKED them into coming there, was pretty selfish.
Also Marty and Dana had to choose between the cycle continuing, people constantly being sacrificed all over the world to satisfy the old ones, or just ending it now. Either way there would be death. They decided to break the cycle.
Personally I would have put Markie on the list instead of Olivia mainly because she got mad at Olivia for admitting that Markie was cheating on her boyfriend all the time

Always thought Dana and Marty were selfish as hell, and that ending made no sense. So she won’t kill a friend, but she will kill her parents, any siblings, all family and friends, and everyone on the planet for a guy who is about to die in ten minutes anyway……for what?
I agree with everything you said about Christian except for the cheating thing. He was under the influence and couldn't consent.

No, I agree. Dana and Marty were selfish AF.
Nah, humanity didn’t deserve to continue after perpetuating itself by human sacrifice for a millennia.
@@unkindestcut yep the opinion of one jaded person should decide the lives of millions of children. That's not selfish.
@@bobthedopeman7327 Well, under the status quo of that world, a group of several jaded men get to pick and choose which young people get to live and which are to be sacrificed. That's pretty selfish too, and if you agree to a system that requires frequent human sacrifices to perpetuate your civilization, your civilization probably deserves to crumble.
Nothing is more dangerous than "vicious ignorance".

Cabin in the Woods - why should Marty sacrifice himself? He beat the entire system, if anything he earned it. There were plenty other scenarios - J-Horror, Amityville etc that failed miserably too. If anything, it was those bunch of incompetent keepers you would rather blame.
100% agreed about the number 1, in fact, it was the worst part of the movie for me. I was expecting them to jump together but instead they let all humanity die and I was just disgusted.
I absolutely HATED Olivia from Truth or Dare.what she did at the ending absolutely pissed me off - cursing everyone with the demon.she is one of the very small number of female leads I hated,other than the chic from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3d
#5- I actually watched that movie back when I still had Netflix but that was because I mistook it for a movie of the same name. I remember seeing previews for a movie and one thing in the trailer had someone saying “I dare you to cut out your tongue.” That statement is then followed by a girl screaming.
Never mind. I haven’t seen that one either. The one I saw was Truth or Dare 2017. It’s the one where the guy dies in the first scene because of his face being melted off with acid. At least I think that’s what happened. It’s been a while since I saw the movie.
Mayor Vaughn sounds like the entire world we live in today
Deena from Fear Street Part 1. I think she's too damn selfish
I can't believe the guy from Train to Busan isn't on here, he got like everybody killed
I only have one major issue here. It's referring to what happened in midsommar as Christian cheating on her. He was sexually assaulted. Like you switched the genders there and you drug a woman put her out of her mind to get her to have sex with a man and there is no way that you would refer to it as cheating.
The fact that the guy from train to busan is not here is crime josh A CRIME!
