Fun fact: Storm's "what happens to a toad..." joke actually makes more sense and is a lot better than it seemed because it was a callback to Toad dropping similar toad jokes throughout the movie before they got cut. The final product just has her dropping the line out of nowhere and its so out of place for someone as intelligent as her.
That reminds me, in STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE, Kirk's line "We-- are the creator." came completely out of nowhere, because in the theatrical release, McCoy's earlier line, "Man always creates God in his image" was CUT.
I would like to give a shout-out to Lt. Gorman in the movie Aliens. Basically, he's arrogant & dismissive, then indecisive and useless, but at least at the end when he goes back for injured Vasquez, he proved he could die like a proper Colonial Marine.
The expected Paris Hilton death scene was the only marketing point of the movie. I didn’t watch it myself but it felt like at the time it was the only marketable point of the movie.
Ajax in Deadpool wasn't that bad of a character. He wasn't memorable, sure, but he wasn't played badly. Ajax isn't meant to be memorable or quirky like Deadpool, otherwise it'd subtract from Deadpool's character.
'She refuses to take Catwoman's hand and willfully falls to her death' >Literally shows the clip of her reaching out to try and be saved before plummeting to the concrete below I swear the people writing this have never actually seen some of the movies in these lists.
That was a ridiculous attempt to shoehorn sexism into everything. "People must dislike the character who conducted the insane and evil experiments to create hyper-intelligent sharks just because she is a powerful woman!"
1:27 I liked Toad, in that he was a wonderfully evil and loathsome character, with power enough to be a creepy equivalent to Magneto's other flunky, Sabretooth. There's been worse CG, even at that time, and at least he wasn't a throwaway and/or useless character. And how can you hate another great Ray Park appearance? That infamous line would have worked if it had just been delivered in two parts. Imagine Storm hits just the first part, "Do you know what happens to a Toad when it gets struck by lightning?" in an imperious tone before lighting up his life. But then she turns off her powers, looks in the direction he flew, shrugs and says, "The same thing that happens to everything else," either ironically or dramatically, then turns and runs back to the rest of the team. That would have been epic! 4:26 Actually this plot seems lifted from the Batman: The Animated Series' origin of Clayface. They just swapped in a woman for the Roland Dagget character. Maybe you don't use a cartoon's plot for a big live-action movie, but then the best superhero movies are pretty much just that.
What about Clayton, the villain from Tarzan (1999)? Most people disliked him as a villain-I thought he was okay: he had his moments-but everyone loves how messed up his death was.
Wouldn't say that Clayton was a badly written character. He was a cartoonishly exaggerated ruthless big game hunter and macho man and he was intentionally annoying to make us hate him. The fact that he is cartoonishly exaggerated might have made him a badly written character if he was starring in a serious adventure drama for adults, but he was starring in an animated movie that was made primarily for a young audience, so he was exactly what he should be.
2:26 hate to break it to you but the "power b*tch" thing is hardly a stereotype. That said, this character falls short of that benchmark as her rabid push for results were due to her personal ties to watching someone degrade from alzheimers, not some sophomoric drive to out-men the other men in the board room.
No, but seriously though.. how is "powerful woman is also a bitch/considered a bitch" not a stereotype? You see it all the time, from highschool movies to historical movies and everything in between, including being pushed onto real life people. It's attached to and sometimes indistinguishable from the ice queen trope. Women have tried to reclaim it with the girl boss, I'm not bossy I'm the boss, narrative but it is definitely a stereotype
With the exception of “Deep Blue Sea,” none of these terrible characters are redeemed by awesome deaths. She sacrificed herself for the good of two other characters. Everyone else are just cases of terrible people having deliciously ironic deaths.
This video just means these characters were redeemed by having a satisfying deaths. This video nowhere means that the characters turned evil to good before dying.
They didn't mean redeemed as in "the character redeemed themselves in the story by their death", they meant "redeemed" as in "the viewer can forgive the script writer for putting those terrible annoying characters in the movie because at least their death was entertaining / satisfying". The list is a little inconsistent though for including some characters that were clearly put int the movie for the sole purpose of having a shocking and/or entertaining death.
I thought McCallister's death was a waste. She never rose to the level of maliciousness that warranted death. It was a mistake to bow to the test audience.
I saw house of wax in theater, everyone seemed bored until that death, which drew lots of laughs. Apparently, I wasn’t rhe only one thinking a head trauma should not be fatal on PH.
...are you seriously saying 15 year olds don't do childish things??? Have you been around teenagers? Even at 21 they can and do stupid/childish things like that.
Toad's characterization was actually quite on brand for how his character had been portrayed in the comics and other media in the late 90's. While the goofball underling personality would follow into X-Men Evolution after the movie, the character was really... completely forgettable in the comics up to that point-- Being a toad-based villain with a sadistic side was about the most he ever was. At least giving him a silly side gave him some form of actual character. I'm not saying his movie portrayal made him a good portrayal, but it was better than just "toad based villain with almost no personality".
And smarter - she was just being outrageous on her reality show because she knew that would get her the media attention and the associated income from it. I watched once spotted within 30 seconds that it was all an act and it became unbearable very quickly knowing she was saying things to get a reaction from others present.
What about the 4 from the movie Moron Planet? they even had 4 characters, Shep Ramsey, the NY Plaza hotel owner, Cobra Tate and Mike Seaver all get dumped into an olympic pool filled with horse manure, set on fire and fed to electric trashboars

Didn't this channel state that already in past video?
I would have loved to have heard the line from the commentary "IT CROAKS!"🐸
That reminds me, in STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE, Kirk's line "We-- are the creator." came completely out of nowhere, because in the theatrical release, McCoy's earlier line, "Man always creates God in his image" was CUT.
Thought it was Halle line reading that was problem
The problem was the co-opted reference - Galvan's frogs. Switching in '"toad" for "frog" broke it so it no longer made any sense.
I would like to give a shout-out to Lt. Gorman in the movie Aliens. Basically, he's arrogant & dismissive, then indecisive and useless, but at least at the end when he goes back for injured Vasquez, he proved he could die like a proper Colonial Marine.
TBF to Gorman its made pretty clear this is his first real command and combat situation its probably why Burke chose him.
I unironically love everything about Deep Blue Sea.
Same! It was fabulously entertaining
Deep Blue Sea. So underrated.
Same it was a great fun story!
SLJ death scene was so awesome! 😆
@joybodelay9679 Right?! That's my favorite scene!!!

To be fair to Tim from FD2, he wasn't just wantonly scaring away the pigeons. He thought the main girl was signaling him to scatter them.
He was also coming off of laughing gas

Remember Paris Hilton? She's still in the news. You guys might want to keep up with things

Toads death is assumed, never confirmed
Well according to Deadpool and Wolverine he was captured by the TVA and sent to the void
I've always seen Frances as a counterpart to Deadpool, so I thought he worked as a character and the main antagonist in the movie.

@@tinselnettie112 For satisfying villain deaths, Ronny Cox in Total Recall should be on here as well as Alan Rickman in Die Hard.
Where’s Francis?
The narrator might need an awesome death scene to redeem herself on her narration, blaming the audience, and all around stupid lists.
I don't know what the narrator is talking about, but I thought Deep blue sea was pretty good
I thought McCallister's death was a waste. She never rose to the level of maliciousness that warranted death. It was a mistake to bow to the test audience.
Scenario and acting aside, it’s a CGI heavy movie done a decade after Jurassik Park that looks like it has been made for a direct to VHS.
@@nucularmechanic9623 No she willing genetically altered the sharks to get the results she needed. So yeah everything was basically her fault.
I saw house of wax in theater, everyone seemed bored until that death, which drew lots of laughs.

It's hard to hate Bieber after learning what Diddy did to him......
Both Bieber and Paris Hilton...I kind of winced at the comments about them, NGL.
Best got rid of annoying A Hole character ever was removal of Ellis from Die Hard
Ajax had a British accent. Checkmate, WhatCulture. 😎
What does happen to toads when struck by lightning? I assume because it's wet, it only gets superficial burns.
"...Because how dare a woman be smart, attractive and likable?"
Haha, yeah, okay...
...are you seriously saying 15 year olds don't do childish things??? Have you been around teenagers? Even at 21 they can and do stupid/childish things like that.
Paris Hilton was also in Repo! The Genetic Opera. And she did spectacularly.
Toad's characterization was actually quite on brand for how his character had been portrayed in the comics and other media in the late 90's.

This is a weird one but Etrigan from Justice League Dark is my favorite.
Happy 2025 What Culture!!!
After Nick's Manic Shamanism....Trent was the truly supremely Gotcha...Good On you Jason.
What do you mean by “terrible?” Evil or poorly written?
You guys are running out of topics
Toad was added in the xmen movies because he was stan lees favourite character. But dunno why they fucked him up though
Todd didnt do anything wrong. Still cool death though.
Not to other characters, but to the audience
not everything reacts the same way when struck by lightning so it can't be the same thing that happens to everything else
IIRC, Paris JUMPED at the chance for an awesome, gruesome death. She's funnier than people think.
And smarter - she was just being outrageous on her reality show because she knew that would get her the media attention and the associated income from it. I watched once spotted within 30 seconds that it was all an act and it became unbearable very quickly knowing she was saying things to get a reaction from others present.
Peter in Black Christmas deserves an HM
House of Wax is 1 of my favorite movies and Paris Hilton was fire in it 🤪🤪
The Glass Pane death from Final Destination 2 just made me laugh.
What about the 4 from the movie Moron Planet? they even had 4 characters, Shep Ramsey, the NY Plaza hotel owner, Cobra Tate and Mike Seaver all get dumped into an olympic pool filled with horse manure, set on fire and fed to electric trashboars
Nothing will beat the trick or treat girl from the terrifier 2. I’ve never seen a death where I was shocked and cringed at how brutal it was
Purifier from Chronicles of Riddick
Roach from Tales from the Crypt Demon Knight
Toad was a great character in the movie, rather useless in the comics.
تم❤❤❤❤❤❤
1 minute of Justin Bieber in the movie are, at least, 60 seconds too much. Same with Paris Hilton. I hate cameos of self-declared proms.
Y’all gotta know the temperature of thangs across the pond. Bieber jokes ain’t funny considering he survived Diddy, and has a sickness or sum sh-
Jesus!!!!
This video sounds boring and the narrator doesn't seem like they wanted to do this video.
Storms line completely sucked.
Justin bieber one doesn't make sense
You must be too young to remember.
Am I the only person who thinks the Deadpool movies are massively over rated?
Yes
I think so
Not as bad as other movies
Probably
Yeah. That's on you
That list was a dud. Most of the movies were bombs.
Damn I waited on 1 like this. Love the entire team but these, done by Ellie...just has that perfect Gotcha Tone, to it
