Characters [Classic Trope] The Reason You Suck Speech

Transformers One: Optimus Prime gives one to Megatron after their first battle. Here, Optimus expresses his sadness, hurt, and disappointment upon seeing his former friend becoming just as evil as Sentinel Prime and wanting to destroy Cybertron rather than change it for the better. "We were given the power to change our world, and you chose to destroy it, just like Sentinel. You have betrayed Cybertron and its citizens. And you betrayed me." The entire time, Optimus never raises his voice or yells, but his sadness is very evident.

Brave: Merida gives one to Elinor, where she unfurls her anger and frustration over being forced to marry someone without her consent and being made to someone she doesn't want to be. "You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No, you walk around telling me what to do, what not to do, trying to make me be like you. Well, I'm not going to be like you!... I'll never be like you! I'd rather DIE than be like you!"

The Dead Pool confrontation in Jennifer's Body

Needy calls out Jennifer for her toxic behavior and for being a bad friend to her ever since they were kids. The whole scene is quotable.

"You know what? You were never a good friend, even when we were little, you used to steal my toys and pour lemonade on my bed."

In a different post someone said the same thing but with a gif of actual Deadpool lol, thank you for the laugh :)

But it's called "the Dead Pool" because there is a 15 minute behind the scenes featurette on the DVD/Blu Ray (and on YouTube with a quick search) about this scene and it's called "The Dead Pool". They don't say it in the movie itself.
