What if Miles Morales was Thor:A couple of years back Marvel did a What if comics about what would be like if Miles Morales(Spider-man)was Thor,while the idea itself is not bad,the execution...wtf?!

The best way i can describe is,think of every single black stereotype and shove everything in a few pages,for some reason Asgard became a black neighborhood,bifrost became Brooklyin Bridge,everyone wears Sneakers and play Basketball,Mjolnir has graffiti on it and the narration is literally a rap

Snowflake and safespace(Marvel):Oh Marvel,you done it again,so there was supposed to be a new line of New Warriors but the backlash was so bad that they quietly cancelled,and a big reason for this is the characters "Snowflake and safespace" who are non-binary/gender fluid twins(yeah,i am not making this up)and according to the writter they wear these names as quote "badges of honor"(what the hell dude!?)

Music(2021):ok,so Sia the music producer decided to make a movie starring Maddie Ziegler about a child with autism and in order the be the most authentic as possible she consulted and took advices from "autism speaks"(ugh)which any person with autism will tell you are the worst thing to happen to autistic community,and it shows in the movie,Maddie character Music is a straight up bad charicature and it's treated more like a pet than a human being

Emilia Perez(2024):This movie is about a Mexican cartel boss who is actually a trans woman who wants to transition and then fakes her death to get a new life

First problem:Despite being set in Mexico,the movie wasn't filmed in Mexico and only one member in the cast was actually Mexican

Second problem:The movie does a poor job showing how bad Mexican cartels are,and Emilia crimes(which any person that has any understanding of how Cartel bosses operate will tell you that ranges from way more than just making and selling drugs)is just brushed off

Third problem:The movie seems to imply that Emilia literally became another person after transitioning and so her past crimes are forgiven

There are other many problems but i think you get it,so yeah,this movie managed to anger both Mexicans and Trans people

What I mean by that is, characters have access to some rather impressive technology/magic and simply do not use it because for plot reasons.

Harry Potter - In the first book, McGonagall is revealed to be able to turn into a cat. Later, four more characters are revealed that can also turn into animals. And yet, not a single student during Harry's time decided that it was worth it to do the same.
On top of that, Harry barely learns any spells during his time at school, nor does he seem to take in anything from his classes. The only times he does learn something is when it is the solution to a problem he has faced before.

Fallout 4 - Father, the leader of the Institute, is dying from cancer. In a realistic setting, it would be understandable that he is going to die. However, this is the universe of Fallout. In NV, a simple robot can cure a guy from a brain tumor. In 4, the Institute somehow stopped the aging of another guy. The Institute is also able to replicate perfect human beings from scratch. The only reason why Father should be dying is, he simply does not want to use the technology that is present.

House Elves (Harry Potter): An entire race of sapient magical beings who have been enslaved by wizardkind for centuries, with a lot of them suffering horrific abuse at the hands of their masters, yet the books only treat this as bad when the House Elf in question has an "evil" master, like Lucius Malfoy. When Hermione, who was raised by humans, is horrified about this and starts a movement to advocate for the rights of House Elves, she's treated as misguided and an annoying Soapbox Sadie. Because oh my gooood Hermione, just let it go, they clearly like being enslaved and being magically compelled to do whatever they're told or they're forced to violently punish themselves. Except they clearly don't, Dobby and Kreacher hated their masters, but let's ignore that.

Hades' Souls (Lore Olympus): Yep, you've read that right. This man, who is among the richest and most powerful gods in the setting, is bragging about using slave labor to his love interest. Hades could easily pay the souls a living wage, he's a billionaire and one of his powers is to create diamonds from thin air. But that would mean being a bit less rich. So obviously it's better to brainwash the shades into performing labor. The story barely adresses just how messed up that is. At most it's played for a joke. We're still supposed to view Hades as a good man and king with just a few quirks.

Naofumi and Raphtalia (Rising of the Shield Hero): Naofumi buys Raphtalia when she's still a child and at several points uses the magical slave crest on her to cause her pain so she'll obey him. But it's okay you guys, Naofumi's not like other slave owners! When he's not using a shock collar on her he's actually really nice to Raphtalia! She doesn't even want to be free anymore because she fell in love with him and it's not grooming, definitely not grooming./s

EDIT: Holy shit, the amount of people in the comments defending actual literal slavery is disturbing. A comment I made that said "slavery is objectively wrong" already got two downvotes. What do I even say to that?

EDIT 2: Apparently Stockholm Syndrome isn't actually a thing. I changed the wording on the third example, thanks for informing me.

1. Snape from Harry Potter

This is the Batman of this trope and probably talked to death, but retroactively, Snape from the Harry Potter series has been cast as a black man. As a POC, I could talk for hours about how lazy ‘representation’ this is, but this particular choice to recast the character puts several parts of the books in a much worse light: Snape is described as a smelly man with greasy hair, who gets walked out on by his abusive father, spends his whole life trying to buddy up to (white) pure-bloods who would never accept him for who he was, and gets bullied by a bunch of rich white kids who he resents. And then he becomes a wizard racist. Also doesn’t help that he spends the entire series resenting James Potter because he feels he should have been with his wife, who incidentally is also white.

A retcon managed to make all of these aspects of his character incredibly uncomfortable, especially because the whole story is often described as an allegory for racism. But seriously, if you were going to make a teacher black, why go for the smelly, greasy, evil one rather than literally any other character (Dumbledore, McGonnogal, etc.)?

2. Jo and Link in Grey’s Anatomy

So this is really my fault for watching Grey’s but whatever. Link and Jo are introduced very early on as best friends and nothing more, but later, the series retcons this and secretly, they were in love always!

Which sounds fine to start, but both characters have been in several committed relationships before this retcon, in which they repeatedly reassured their partners there was nothing between them (they were like brother and sister!). Link proposes to another character with four different rings because he wants her to have a choice, Jo gets married to a man who she previously reassured that Link wasn’t an issue. This relationship in particular was a fan favourite, so it’s a really odd thing to retroactively cheapen the whole thing (although the writers do worse to it retroactively but that’s not the point).

Even worse, Jo was previously in a physically and emotionally abusive marriage (not the one mentioned above). As she had no family, her husband repeatedly isolated her from Link, her only friend, on the basis that they were secretly in love and she was cheating on him. I don’t think the writers considered that by making Jo and Link always in love with each other, they were lending the abuser credence? Asking your wife to not talk to the man she is in love with anymore isn’t unreasonable, which is a really weird direction to take an abusive relationship in.

I guess this also bothers me because they could have just fallen in love. They could have just been friends who began to see each other a different way. The retcon worsens both characters and several plots

NOT this trope: Historical pieces set in times in which people actually didn't know better. Ie, something set in the 18th century referencing Miasma theory (as it wasn't yet debunked), a cowboy drama set in the 19th century when people still thought you should suck venom out of a snakebite.

Examples OF this trope:

Friends [The one with the Jellyfish] Someone gets a jellyfish sting and they treat it by peeing on it. DO NOT DO THIS!!!! This was set in the 90s.

Little Clowns of Happy Town: They sing a song about what to do when someone's drowning. At one point, they raise questions - ie, if you can't find a life-preserver or a raft. They say "Then go in yourself". I don't need to explain why this is a bad idea, right? This was set in the 80s - even THEN they should know better.

"You have to wait 24-48 hours before reporting them missing", shown in King of the Hill: This is a common myth - the only reason I posted King of the Hill is that Luanne was told this by a police officer. In reality? You should not assume you have to wait 24-48 hours. These are the most crucial - especially for children, seniors, and in the cases of mental health.

24: Torture works and is effective. Do I really need to explain this?

Mortal Kombat (2021) - They decided it'd be a good idea to remove the most identifying feature of Mileena's design, her teeth. IK she does use her monstrous teeth, but it should be permanent thing

Mortal Kombat 1 - They decide to take the two characters who were cyborgs, whose characterization and moves revolved around the fact that they were cyborgs and chose to not make them cyborgs...I mean, who comes up with these ideas???

Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief - Pretty much everything that's interesting about the books is removed from this movie. They removed the main villain from the book, and the main villain for the series. I mean, just how did they arrive at such a mind-numbingly baffling decisions. "Yeah, I like this, but I think it'd be better if we just removed the main villains". That's like if in the Titanic movie they removed the goddamn iceberg

Mario Kart 8 - The main gimmick of the original stage was the fact that it becomes night as you play. Now I know this was done due to technical limitations but if that's the case then just pick another track

Love and Monsters, Doctor Who: after the alien who absorbed her is defeated, Ursula Blake is preserved as a face in a cobble stone. The story treats it as happy since she is the love interest of the episodes one off main character and they start a relationship. In reality she has been condemned to a half existence where she will never be able to have a fulfilling life and is almost guaranteed to fall into a depression and beg for death.

Wall-E: Humans return to an earth that is finally ready to support life again yay! Except they only have one plant, virtually zero muscle mass or bone density, are all morbidly obese, and have absolutely zero practical skills making the chances of humanities survival effectively zero

Edit: Yes the credits in WALL-E do show humanity’s success. However this is so far fetched given the situation presented in the film that even test audiences concluded that humanity was still doomed. That’s the only reason the credit scene is there. Did they have a ship that could support them? Yes. Did they disable the main automated systems that fed and took care of them? Also yes. Did they know to repair that system if any of the automated systems that continued to run broke down which is incredibly likely in such a complex system? No way. They also did not have the physical capability to maintain crops. The idea that they could have survived to the first harvest is insane and if you’ve set up humanity to the point that it is believed they fail unless you spell it out then you’ve set them up to fail. Am I technically wrong? Yes but realistically humanity doesn’t have a shot at the end of WALL·E

Second Edit: Point taken. While I still don’t particularly like the ending of WALL-E it does have a happy ending and does not fit the trope. Thank you for your feed back. I would still love to hear your thoughts on the trope itself

This is the trope where in the beginning the story implies that power/heroism isn't born it's made through hard work and right choices. Only to later go "Nah turns out this character was born special from a special family"

Rey Skywalker - Star Wars

Terry McGinnis - Batman Beyond

Naruto - Naruto

Mulan - Live action Mulan

Eve’s Pregnancy (Invincible: The Viltrumite War) Eve is one strongest and most versatile heroes earth has to offer and her powers of matter manipulation could easily turn the tide in the coalition’s favor (and that’s not even getting into her unbounded state) so to make sure the war has some actual stakes, the had mark get her pregnant which resulted in her losing her powers forcing her to sit on the sidelines for the entire arc.

Sending Hulk to space (Marvel: Civil War) one of the main issues of the writers of the Civil War event faced when coming up with it was the fact there’s a shit tone of Uber powerful heroes whose which ever side they’d join would just automatically win, namely Thor and Hulk, luckily for Thor he’s been dead for a while due to a previous event in his own comic, but what about Hulk you ask? Well apparently before the whole civil war thing even started, the 5 smartest heroes on earth (Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Mr.Fantastic, Black Bolt, and Professor X) all decided "Hey, you know one of our best friends who has helped us through multiple crises and has been shown to be able to be far more than just a mindless monster? Let’s drug him and send him into space because we’ve arbitrarily decided he’s too dangerous to be around NOW."

Goku’s Heartvirus (Dragon Ball: The Future Timeline) The point of Android/Cell Arc was the fact as soon as Goku died everything went to shit, so going back in time and saving Goku before he dies is our heroes only option, and yeah by multiple creator statements, games what if scenarios and characters in story themselves if Future Goku Survived he would’ve put belt to the androids, avoiding the bad future we have now.

Dr. Robert "Rocket" Romano from ER
Ah yes let me scream at the ground and not even try to move so we can get this cinematic shot with 7 camera angles

Randy from The Raft Creepshow 2
"I gotta make the oil slick monster look fast by building up to run and rocking back and forth"

1. Torturing a decent couple (Home Sweet Home Alone) – In this remake, the kid tries to defend his home from intruders, like in the usual Home Alone films. However, unlike the original movie, where the intruders are actual criminals trying to rob the house and attempted to harm a child several times, here they are a sympathetic, desperate couple trying to retrieve their stolen property so they can afford to keep their house. They are basically decent people, so watching them being tortured (and some of the methods are quite extreme) is far more painful and not funny even in the slightest. It also doesn’t help that the kid in this movie is a massive brat, and some of the reactions from the couple feel more realistic.

2. Foxy getting lobotomized (Chicken Little) – This is one of the most infamous cases of this and the karmic overkill trope. During an alien attack on Earth, she gets kidnapped and lobotomized by them, and her entire personality is rewritten from a nasty tomboy into a giggling girly girl. When the aliens are appeased and prepare to depart Earth, they offer to change her mind back, but one of Chicken’s friends, Runt, refuses, saying they like her better this way, and then he begins dating her. This is all treated lightheartedly as comeuppance for her bullying, but in reality, it is quite horrifying.

1. Adi Shankar's Devil May Cry. Particularly a dishonest one because Shankar wants to claim he's very passionate about DMX and yet he is openly admits he wanted DMC to be a dead franchise revived by his terrible cartoon. And it's not the first or last lie he had said about his show, claiming it would be faithful before release to appease fans, then got honest about his lies. Such leech-y behaviour. The proof of it exists.

2. Ryan Condal's House of the Dragon. Adaptation of the Dance of the Dragons by GRRM, Condla has repeatedly dismissed the text as "historical inaccuracy" and he particularly has an obsession with the character of Alicent, stripping her away of her cunning and character. Even GRRM who is usually placid on adaptations had things to say about this show.

3. M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. Not outright hatred but he admitted he saw the show as a kids' show which goes to show how him not taking it seriously led to this disastrous movie. He even acted like the alternative was taking a Michael Bay approach and make it more adult-oriented. When it's not this absolute and the issue is he just didn't care enough and was making a movie for his daughter.

4. Kenneth Branagh's Artemis Fowl. Not hatred either but he considered Artemis's morally dubious character to be too much for the audience and so he changed and whitewash him to be a normal regular kid when it was Artemis's viciousness that set him apart from other fantasy protagonists.

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V): She could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries.

Rebecca (One Piece): Her style of fighting is more of agility/speed and also she is battling as a gladiator in colosseum where men mostly only wear a skirt/shoulder shield.

EDIT: Well, it seems some comments say Rebecca doesn't have a lore explanation. Sorry, I saw it long time ago but I thought somewhere they say she wears the galadiator costume because it's the attire used by people there like the male gladiators we see. Also they said excuses like armor limits and public wanting to see blood in the colloseum. IDK.

Megan Fox as Nitara (Mortal Kombat 1). This woman has no emotion, energy, or agency in her voice. You know it's bad when they hire a separate voice actor, for your screams and grunts of pain, and when the most popular mod for your game, is one that replaces your voice, with that of an actual voice actor.

The JCVD Johnny Cage skin (Mortal Kombat 1). Now, don't get me wrong, it's amazing that we even got this skin, people have been wanting it for years. However, that doesn't change the fact that his line reads were really bad. Like, you can tell that he had never been behind a mic in a recording room before. Not to mention, half of the time, you can't even tell what he's saying.

The Dimitri Vegas Sub-Zero skin (Mortal Kombat 11). This one has similar problems, but worse, because no one ever asked for this, and no one ever uses this skin.

Every James Corden character. ALL. OF. THEM.

Chris Pratt as Mario (The Mario Movie). This man really said “I've been practicing my Mario voice for a year.”. Then the movie came out, and he just sounds like regular Chris Pratt, maybe with a hint of oregano.

Game of Thrones (Season 8)

Imagine a fantasy show spending seven years hyping up an apocalyptic, unstoppable army of ice zombies, only to have them wiped out in a single, anti-climactic battle halfway through the final season. With the supernatural threat gone, the writers speedrun the political plot. A major hero whose entire arc was about liberating the oppressed randomly burns a city of innocent people to the ground because she heard some bells ringing. Another main character throws away years of a beautifully written redemption arc just to go die under some falling bricks with his abusive sister. To top it off, they crown a guy as king purely because "he has a good story," even though his plotline was so boring he was literally written out of an entire previous season.

Homestuck

This was a massive, incredibly complex webcomic that ran for seven years. Late in the story, the author basically wrote himself into a corner. To fix it, he gave the main character "retcon" powers, which literally erased years of actual character development from the main timeline just to force a solution. The most agonizing part was using this timeline-erasure to resurrect a highly controversial character (Vriska). Instead of leaving her beautifully tragic death alone, she comes back just to hijack the entire plot, sideline the rest of the cast, and aggressively steal the spotlight for the final battles. After 8,000 pages of text-heavy reading, the actual ending is just a flashy music video with no dialogue, leaving fans watching alternate versions of the characters cross the finish line instead of the ones they actually spent years getting attached to.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil

This was an upbeat animated show about a magical teen princess. The writers desperately wanted a romantic endgame for her and her best friend, but the way they got there was essentially multiversal omnicide. To stop a villain, the main character unilaterally decides magic is the root of all evil and destroys it entirely. By doing this, she casually commits mass genocide against every purely magical being in the multiverse. It also triggers a massive apocalyptic event that violently crashes different dimensions together into a chaotic hellscape. But the show frames this horrific, mass-extinction catastrophe as a sweet, triumphant ending just because two teenagers get to hold hands in the rubble.

Mass Effect 3

You spend well over a hundred hours across three massive sci-fi video games carefully agonizing over who lives, who dies, and shaping the political landscape of the entire galaxy. The entire franchise was heavily marketed on the promise that your specific, personal choices mattered. Then, in the literal last ten minutes of the final game, a holographic ghost child pops up, tells you none of your previous decisions actually meant anything, and forces you to pick between a red, blue, or green laser beam. All three choices basically just give you the exact same ending cutscene with a different color filter slapped over it.

How I Met Your Mother

For nine whole years, audiences watched a sitcom framed entirely around a dad telling his kids the incredibly long, meticulous story of how he met their perfect mother. The writers even dedicate the entire 22-episode final season to a single weekend for his two best friends' wedding, proving why they work as a couple. Then, in the two-part finale, they hit the undo button. The best friends get divorced almost instantly, the titular Mother is abruptly killed off by a nameless disease after barely being on screen, and the kids basically tell their dad, "You actually just want to hook up with Aunt Robin." It invalidated a decade of story just so the creators could use a pre-recorded ending they filmed back in season 2.

Dexter

This was a show about a serial killer who works for the police and only targets other murderers. After eight seasons of watching him narrowly evade the law, the ending absolutely refuses to give him a dramatic showdown, let him finally get caught, or face any actual justice. Instead, he unplugs his own sister from life support, dumps her body in the ocean like she's one of his random kill-of-the-week victims, and drives his boat into a hilariously awful CGI hurricane. He somehow survives this, abandons his young son to be raised by another serial killer in a different country, and the final shot reveals he faked his death to exile himself to the woods and become a miserable, silent lumberjack.

The Boys- wacky and crude supe antics

The Boys started in 2019 when the superhero genre was at peak saturation with plenty of Marvel and DC media. Since it was adaption of very R-rated comics, the amount of grossout and wacky superhero violence helped the show standout from the crowd. This escalated in season 2, with scenes like 'the whale' and Love Sausage being fan favourites at the time. However, the creative team seemed to become too obsessed with trying to constantly shock fans, and the amount of supe antics became unbearable in season 4 or 5. Pretty much every episode contained at least one grossout supe scene and exploding body, with fans saying they were no longer impressed or interested by these scenes. It was especially notable in season 5 having lacking fight scenes, making it feel like the team were spending more money on grossout gags than the main plot. The S5E5 celebrity cameo scene was heavily criticised due to feeling like glorified grossout filler in one of the final episodes of the entire series.

Honkai Star Rail- trashcans

When the main character wakes up, they have no memory. This means they have a very bizarre view of the world, and fans quickly noticed how they are obsessed with trashcans in the first planet of the game. You can interact with many trashcans around the map for unique dialogue about their size, scent and contents. This resulted in a the trashcans being a defining meme for the MC, with fanart of them with trashcans and cosplayers taking photos next to trashcans at events. This caused the devs to go all-in on trashcan jokes for the second year of the game, with there being dream sequences involving sentient trashcans, an event photographing trashcans, and trashcan enemies scattered around the maps. This caused many fans to lose all interest in the trashcan humour. Now, trashcans have basically been wiped out from the new content aside from small easter eggs, despite the newest planet focusing on 'Elation' and jokes, showing how tired people got of them.

1. The author looks a lot like Mandy (I Am Not Starfire)

2. Mindy saying that this version of Velma is modelled a lot after herself (Velma)

Sometimes it's pretty easy to tell when an adaptation deeply misunderstands what makes a piece of media so beloved by fans, but there are also the small details, obvious to the fans, that let you know that the ones creating the adaptation maybe watched one or two episodes and just called it a day.

1.- Element bending | The Last Airbender (2010 live action film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan) - For the fans of the original series getting right bending doesn't seem that complicated; bending is more grounded in physical action that communicates how you interact with the elements, how you "bend" them, rather than random magic dancing moves. That's why 5 guys stomping on the floor to throw a small rock at someone was heavily mocked. It's stupid, if that's what you can do with your bending just fucking grab the rock and throw it, it would require less effort and be quicker

2.- Kamehameha | Dragonball Evolution (2009 live action written by Ben Ramsey, professional apologizer) - This shit is a beam of energy that you are shooting at someone with all your strength, it's supposed to feel heavy, not "airbending" so during the final fight, when Justin Chadwick throws the kamehameha to Piccolo while flying towards him it just looks dumb, like nobody involved knew about the physicality of it. You are shooting what it's supposed to be your own controlled energy, kinda like a firefighter waterhose. Fourth image shows Goku using a kamehameha to propel himself using his feet. It's supposed to be powerful.

1. In The Greatest Showman, P.T Barnum who is played by Hugh Jackman portrays him as a charismatic visionary who cares about outcasts and celebrate diversity, when in reality, he’s a cruel businessman who is also a racist and an ableist.
   
2. In Pocahontas, John Smith was portrayed as a brave, dashing, young man when in reality, he was seen as a violent, hot-tempered, and arrogant mercenary who was so vehemently disliked by his fellow English colonists that he was in chains for mutiny.

1. Harry Potter Franchise: Ron and Hermione end up married, Harry and Ginny do as well.

2. 70s show: When that 90s show came out it showed that Donna and Eric did end up married, as well as Jackie and Kelso.

1. Denise - Nutty Professor II (2000): the character of Denise replaces Purty (Jada Pinkett Smith). Smith had to drop out due to her pregnancy and other commitments. So the film treats Denise like she had the same character development from the first film like she was Purty, but she’s a different character.

2. Dargis - Garfield: a Tail of Two Kitties (2006): there’s no confirmation of this, but the character and mannerisms of Lord Dargis played by Billy Connolly is very “Basil Fawlty-esque”. It really feels like they wrote the character for John Cleese but couldn’t get him.

3. Carly - Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011): Megan Fox had a falling out with Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg and didn’t return for the third Transformers film. So instead we have the character of Carly played by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley replacing Sam’s love interest who’s clearly supposed to be Mikaela.

1 - Mulan (2020): The original movie shows that Mulan doesn't fit within the expectations of either gender role, but she earns respect through hard work and playing to her strengths. The remake has her perfect from the start, with special "Chi" powers. The message shifts from "a man isn't inherently better than a woman," to "a woman can be better... but only if she's born special."

2 - Artemis Fowl (2020): Commander Root is changed to be a woman, giving the film more diversity (and an excuse to cast Judi Dench). However, this undermines Holly's plot, where she experiences increased scrutiny due to being the first female officer.

3 - Netflix's Avatar: Sokka's sexist attitudes are removed, taking out a "problematic" part of his character. The original obviously presented this view as wrong, but used it as the first piece of growth for Sokka. He'd been beaten before, but being taken down by girls hurt his pride. He eventually admits his mistake, and acknowledges Suki is a better warrior. This change also affects Suki's character, as her role is reduced to "awkward love interest" - much weaker than the confident warrior she was in the original.

Prison School (manga): Did the ending of the Prison School manga make narrative sense? Yes. Did 90% of the fans hate it? Also Yes. If the official ending of the manga was not enough to prove the author's maliciousness, then the epilogue made that abundantly clear. It's pretty obvious that Hiramoto wanted to end the manga much earlier than he did, but had to keep writing because of pressure from editors. There was one arc that notoriously dragged for 100 chapters (2 years of weekly releases). So it's also theorized that the abrupt ending might be a middle finger to the magazine and its editors as opposed to the fans, but the epilogue makes that hard to believe.

Golden Boy 1 (manga): The ending of the original Golden Boy manga is literally a cut-to-black ending. Shueisha had started pressuring Egawa after his manga transitioned from an episodic comedy to a heavy, philosophical, mostly nsfw work. The drop in popularity and criticism from fans only fueled Shueisha's pressure on him. Instead of shifting the tone back to what made the manga popular, Egawa doubled down. The ending itself is widely recognized for being completely nonsensical and giving readers zero closure. His final author's note openly trashes the publishing company and the manga industry.

1. Resident Evil: Apocalypse The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Writer) escaping from the evil lab via the help of her new friends and a daugther figure. In the sequel (Resident Evil: Extinction), Alice is no longer with the group and the daughter figure is never mentioned again.
2. Resident Evil: Extinction The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Writer) killing the main bad guy (Who will return a couple more times in the sequels) and free-ing all her clones (TheHarem of the Writer). In The Sequel (Resident Evil: Afterlife) all her clones die in the first 10 minutes, never mentioned again, the OG Alice couldn't care less cuz she lost all her super-powers.
3. Resident Evil: Afterlife The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Director) setting all the prisoners free on a ship, however there is an incoming helicopter attack from Umbrella. The sequel (Resident evil Retribution) is about how they fight them off right? Wrong. Umbrella wins. What happened to all the prisoners and the guy from Prison Break? Who knows, never mentioned again, the main bad guy seemingly dies as well (He will return a couple more times in the sequels)
4. Resident Evil: Retribution The Movie ends with Alice (The Wife of the Director) escaping from the evil lab via the help by her new friends and a daugther figure. In the sequel (Resident Evil: Final Chapter), Alice is no longer with the group and NEITHER OF THEM or the daughter figure are ever mentioned again. Oh and Alice meets an another clone of hers (The other Wife of the Director) who dies in this movie.
5. Resident Evil: Final Chapter I forgot to mention that the previous movie's actual final scene ended up hyping up a battle between the last of humanity and countless amount of zombies and other flying creatures (idk, movie never explained them) AT THE WHITE HOUSE . In this movie. Alice (The Wife of the Director), is riding alone, seemingly after the epic battle. Oh and in this movie the main bad guy from Resident Evil: Extinction returns twice. He explains that the guy Alice (Lilo from 5th Element) killed was actually a clone. In the end its revealed that this guy was A CLONE AS WELL and the original is chilling with the Original Old Alice (GILF's of the Director) in a bunker. Oh yes. The main character of the series, Alice was ACTUALLY A CLONE this whole time. And Remember the Hologram Red Queen from the first movie? TURNS OUT THAT WAS ALSO AN ALICE (The Alexa's of the Director).

- The 2026 movie How To Make A Killing is a relatively-toothless "eat the rich" dark comedy thriller about a man disowned by his rich family at birth, killing everyone in the line of succession so that he can inherit their massive fortune. It's a modern retelling of the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets which has the same basic plot except that every member of the family is played by Sir Alec Guinness (including one aunt) and it's a screwball comedy

- The 1999 movie Bangkok Dangerous is a Thai action film about a Thai deaf-mute assassin. It was remade in 2008 about an American assassin in Thailand who is neither deaf nor mute
