To defend Harry, he offers Ron and his family money a lot, but they refuse it every time. And he did give Fred & George his prize money in the books from the tournament.
yes that's correct. idk if she read the books but based off the video title it also doesn't matter. it's about movie heroes not about the books. the mentioned details were not included in the movies I think. not entirely sure. I like the books much better
I wanted to say the same thing but I felt like her opinions were fair since non of that stuff was mentioned in the movie. Not even a throwaway line from fred and george saying "thanks for giving us the prize money harry."
Also, even if Harry hadn't offered them money, it isn't his job to. Harry is a kid, Mr and Mrs Weasley are adults who chose to have 50 children. It is not Harry's job to support them. But then again I am American so maybe I see obligations to financially help others a little differently.
And Adam is right to hate that so much! It bruises the gin and make it cloudy. Anyone who knows anything about a dry martini is that you stir it. Bond is a classless son of a bitch.
To be fair: Harry DOES feed Ron once, explicitly, when the trolley comes around on the train. And that sets up the subtext that he funds all of his and Ron's adventures for the next six or seven years.
Harry basically behaves like a fairly normal teenager, I'm more judgmental of the adults in the story who never try to help him control his temper or give him any real emotional support.
Also, Ron’s family were very prideful. When he would offer to pay for things they wouldn’t let him. If I remember correctly,He had to force the weasley twins to take the money he won from the triwizard tournament or else he would of thrown it away. And even the they let Harry have free stuff from their store .The weasley’s knew they needed the money but they would rather work for it.
Sam is the true hero of the Lord of the Rings. He is the ONLY character in the series that willingly gave up the ring. Gandalf wouldn't even touch it because of what he was afraid it would do to him. If they had given the ring to Sam in Rivendell, he would've just booked it to Mount Doom and chucked it into the lava.
Thank you! I came here to make that exact point. I think Tolkien said at some stage that Sam was the hero because he's the only ring bearer that's totally unaffected by the ring.
Sam didn't have the ring very long, and even then he hesitated when it came time to hand it back. Frodo carried the ring from the Hobbiton, and before that he had it in his house, existing as a constant presence. Sam is essential and every bit the hero that Frodo is, but he would not have gotten the ring as far as Frodo did.
@@RictusHolloweye I dunno. All Hobbits get a +4 vs. Domination, it's not a stretch to say that Sam has a class-based Special Ability that grants partial or complete Imnunity. He hit name level in his Manservant class after all, his iron pan strick as a +3 weapon.
In the first scene with Ron in the films he LITERALLY buys the entire sweet trolley for him and Ron. It is pretty much said within ten lines of meeting each other.
@@SmartPrice84 Untrue. There is no "one" hero in lotr and to believe so kinda ruins the point. It's a joined effort between many characters to defeat the ONE ring and the ONE baddie.

it isn't really Frodo's fault he became a jerk anyone who holds or uses the one ring's power will eventually become corrupted by it your precious Sam would also have turned into a jerk if he had possession of the one ring
"How's your infiltration of that international drugs ring going bond?" "Good.. I got shit faced on taxpayers money, balled the kingpins girlfriend then I punched him off a zeplin..." "Jesus Christ, bond!" "Oh yeah and I used my real name!"
I'm also with you about James Bond. I don't admire arrogant, entitled people and I don't find them interesting. Some of his actions, as you pointed out, are utterly unacceptable. Is he a sociopath or just a jerk stuck in the sixties? We've left that kind of mentality behind but Bond really hasn't.
"Sabotages him for literal years" That's incorrect. The timeline of Ron's broken wand is about a school year or less than a year. He gets a new one when his parents win money. And as others have stated, Harry tried being generous but they often refused. Harry also gave his Tri wizard cup winnings to the weasley twins. Of course most if not all of this is in the books, so technically sure yes.

The point of Blade Runner is that Rutger Hauer's character is superior to Harrison Ford's character in every possible way, yet he is doomed to fail and be lost to the eraser of time because of choices outside of his control. That is why by the end Roy pitied Deckard and saved him, because it was pointless to kill him since we all die eventually anyway.
@felix mendez it doesn't matter who is or who isn't a replicant. what matters is that Roy was the better lifeform, the better person and the better man and was doomed to fail and be forgotten anyway. in the end he learned to accept it with grace and dignity.
Way I saw it was taking into account that the replicants are given the five year life span because that's how long it would take for replicants to develop genuine emotions. The humans assumed when they developed emotion that the replicants would hate and rebel against them, but when Roy finally reached the last moments of his 5 year time frame he developed compassion.
I don't really consider Bond a hero but is still one of the greatest characters ever made. Bond doesn't care what he does, the guy is constantly in danger for a living, just as long as he survives to live another day he'll do what he wants.
You've really missed something vital about Harry and Ron's relationship and Harry's relationship to the Weasleys if you think they would have accepted charity from Harry for even a second. Ron and his family are very proud, they would have seen it as insulting for Harry to give them money, and Harry KNEW that. Look at what they give Ron and Harry for their 18th birthdays. They give Ron a brand new watch, something that was JUST for him, that isn't a hand-me-down and something he can be proud to show off. They give Harry an old watch that was a family heirloom, from Molly's dead brother, something that seems like SHOULD have gone to a Weasley family member, but they give it to him not just because they've essentially adopted Harry, but because they KNOW Harry won't have much in the way of family things. It makes him feel more accepted as part of the family and he immediately hugs Molly for it because it means so much to him. If you read this comment, I hope it makes you hate Harry a bit less.
If you ever read the books harry does really want to help Ron but ron Actually refuses his help all the time because he doesnt want to seem like less than harry. He actually wants to give his winnings from the tri wizard tournament to ron but he knows he wouldnt except it so he gives it to fred and George so they can start thuer buisness
And he makes the twins promise to buy Ron new dress robes out of it. The twins become very wealthy due to their joke shop and end up giving lavish gifts to the other Weasleys, mainly Molly. This wouldn't have happened, at least so soon without Harry's investment. He also gives expensive gifts to Ron like at the Quidditch world cup and Ron is quite sulky about it until Harry says it's for Christmas and birthday. Ron then pays Harry back with Leprechaun gold and begins to sulk again when he realises it disappears after a few hours. Lots of faults with Harry but him not being kind with his money isn't one
@@jamesianhutchison1165 I wouldnt say nobody cares considering theres 26 people who liked my comment. I get what the title was I was just saying in case maybe she hadn't read the books. Also I wouldnt say thier nothing like them they leave alot of stuff out but thier more faithful an adaptation than most book to movies nowadays. So you shush.
@@jamesianhutchison1165 Even then, a lot of the things she complains about are explained or at leats hinted at in the movies. Soe her arguments are pretty weak. Although I do agree that Harry was overall pretty obnoxious as a character, especially during puberty.
Funny how you described Andrew Garfields Spiderman as "doing this Edward Cullen thing", because I always described the Amazing Spiderman as "Spiderman for Twilight-Fans"
I actually always liked that frodo's decided to keep the ring. He always made the decisions he thought was best for his loved ones when no one would accept the quest he did knowing it was the right thing. And at the end does the most human thing of all and thinks about himself but because of all the love hes given his people are their for him and never thought twice about it.
Harry did offer to help and help the Weasleys a few times throughout the books. Molly repeatedly declined. He gave Fed and George winnings for their company. Has she ever read the series or going strictly by the movies? That argument doesn’t even hold up
@@stevebutchart3638 Considering her argument is the opposite of what actually happen and based on false premises, your argument doesn't hold up. She says he flaunted his wealth and never offered to help the Weasley's financially. Which none of that is true. It's not about the fact she hates Harry, its the premise of why she hates him that doesn't make sense. I take it you've never read the books either.
@@SkeetersCousin Bud it's called Which MOVIE character do you hate... That means that the books have literally nothing to do with it. Or did you not reread the title after I posted it. Fact is, the way the movies are chopped and edited together Harry comes off like a selfish tool that bought all the stuff on the train so he could flaunt his wealth then never helps out ever again. Yes in the books he constantly offers to pay for stuff, and they describe how he feels that no one will let him, but the article is about the movies. Once again just to make sure you get the premise, MOVIES!
@@stevebutchart3638 even in the MOVIES did Harry offer to pay for items. The very first time he met Ron he did. So, yet again, the argument as to why doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure what part of that you're not understanding. The argument is set on a false premise, whether you're talking about the MOVIE or the BOOKS. Regardless of the title of the video, her argument does not hold up.
Every single protagonist in Michael Bay's movies, be they Affleck in Armageddon or LaBeouf in Transformers are thoroughly dislikeable and obnoxious. Not sure that's a coincidence tbh.
I love Lotr, and I think Ewan is 100% right. Best thing is: In the Sillmarillion, which basically retells the whole history of Tolkien's world, Samwise is just mentioned as +1. It goes something like: "a brave Hobbit called Frodo Baggins and a homie of his wandered to Mount Doom and destroyed the ring".

Adam really nails what's terrible about Bond. Call him a villain protagonist, or an anti- ... no, not an anti-hero, that's still too good for Bond. He's just an anti
Deckard being unlikable is the point of the whole movie, he isn't a classic hero. Also the "rape" scene made a lot of sense, she was a robot and she couldn't technically love, he was going crazy because he was in love with her, his job was killing replicants and now he was in love with one. he also wasn't really raping anyone because: 1) she was an android 2) he wanted her to feel something 3) he was giving her orders because that's how robots work
James Bond is just lucky. I love the films, but he shouldn’t live like 75% of the time, he only does live because of other people that for some reason come back for him
I just hate how harry seems to know like no magic seriously other students are constantly teaching him magic and i know most of them had a head start on them but by the time he's a fourth year you can count the spells he's knows on your hands!
You forgot about the The Order of Pheonix where he teaches the other students defensive spells because they weren't learning any in class. ...or maybe the movies didn't make ot clear that Hermoine actually needed Harry to teach her spells like the patronus charm (though she was good at it immediately).
@@kimberlyhaines107 i included attacking magic as self defense magic as harry wasn't ever the aggressor my point being all the useful non fighting related spells were mostly cast by other people i don't think he even used repairo once like seriously fix your own glasses
I'm glad I'm not the only person who hates Frodo and James Bond. In fact I once posted something on Facebook where I said Eggsy from the Kingsman films is the spy James Bond wishes he was.
Mr fox is sucking bonds cok all day. Every bond comment that is legit he trolls. I agree, I like the kingsmen portrayal of how a movie spy should be. Cuz real life spies are like ghosts, slipping in and out of areas undetected, gathering and using Intel to their organizations advantage.
I can relate to a lot of these characters. Frodo being one because I have struggled with addiction. Harry isn’t that bad, maybe a little boring at times but he is more of a character who show emotional support to his friends

You are right about the martini thing, but he asks for shaken not stirred because the last time he got one stirred in Casino Royale, he got poisoned and almost didn't survive. More air in the drink means less chance of any poison acting faster.
Bond drinks his vodka martinis shaken because Ian Fleming created the character in the 1950's, when quality spirits were less common, even in relatively high-end establishments, than your local offy. The subtle flavours you're thinking of would be overpowered by the impurities that even Glen's gets rid of these days, and that's shite. Shaking makes the best of the poor booze available. Granted, it does mean that as they've tried to 'contemporise' Bond, he should maybe have dropped that habit, but he doesn't do it because he's a boor.
Deadpool 2 made me dislike Deadpool. Dude didn't stop to take a breath the whole 2hrs. I know it's "merc with the mouth" but at some point I started tuning him out. Problem is now Renolds is doing that in every movie. The Fast and Furious movies only let him get away with it for a few minutes and I love them for that.
Dr Brooklyn Deadpool 2 was a big step down from the first...but that’s the thing with movie studios if an actor gets praised for one performance they’ll ask them to do the same thing in all the movies....I mean look at RDJ, Dwayne Johnson...etc. which just sucks cuz they’re all good actors and have a lot of range (well maybe not the rock) but Reynolds and RDJ are great actors.
THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only one who realized that Ryan Reynolds now plays Deadpool in every single movie he's in! Not only that, but the humor in the Deadpool movies mostly just relies on him saying bizarre curse words that sound silly. They really need to beef up the writing for the next one.
Reynolds has always done that in movies; his character in Blade 3 is almost exactly the same and if you look at his back catalogue it’s very, very similar.
Mr Fox Yet here you are making assumptions with absolutely no background information to support your claims about OP. Unlike them and Adam who has a typed out list over a page long of questionable actions James Bond has done. If anyone comes across as a cuckold, it’s you.
Everyone using book references to defend the movie character... Movie Harry was selfish a lot of the time. Also Fast and Furious characters are annoying, so is the guy from the Mummy.

I think after a few years, we probably all would. We're social beings after all. I guess it highly depends on the circumstances. I would have not simply woken somebody up in the hopes of having sex with that person sooner or later, but if there's only the two of you, I guess it's only natural that people do eventually "fall" for each other. Just watch Big Brother and you'll notice how many people with basically no shared interest end up in a "relationship", at least whilst they're in there.
Weirdly agree with most Talking heads in this one. But think there is difference between the way a charcter is written (to be a protagonist we should hate/not relate to) and a poorly acted _hero_ (an other actor could make that person seem relatable/heroic.)
I soooo agree about Jim (Chris Pratt) in Passengers. "It's just horny nonsense." How can you like a so-called hero that wakes up another passenger to spend the rest of their life trapped on this spacecraft. But, when she finds out what he did she does act accordingly.
If you're weren't such a moronic brainwashed sjw with no internal dialogue. You'd maybe understand why someone destined to spend their life alone in space might do such a thing. But you keep virtue signalling like a good NPC.
Deckard wasn’t great in the book either. I think it’s written so we question how ‘human’ he really is. His actions were always a bit off, like how he’d dismisses his wife and all that other stuff. (The wife is in the book. Not the film) I think the point of his character is to show how humans can easily become complacent in their actions.
I totally agree with Frodo. Finally somebody says it! It is not even about the character issues. The ring might be a valid excuse for that... whatever, but just as a viewer I thought that it was super annoying to watch him wining and bitching about everything
I finally remembered, the woman whose arm he threatened to break was the mistress of the world's deadliest assassin, who he thought had targeted him. It's not like she was some innocent.
What bothered me most about Dominic Torreto in the first The Fast and the Furious movie was: He owns a Restaurant, a Garage and a Toolshop AND he constantly wins at street racing. What does he need to be robbing trucks for again?
Why do Frodo listen to Gollum? Because he has the one ring around his neck, an object full of malice and deceit so of cooourse he listens to Gollum, who knows exactly how to talk to Frodos ringpoisoned mind
I always thought that Frodo listened to Gollum because having the ring around his neck all the time made him understand Gollum much better and hoe Gollum became what he is now. and besides pitying Gollum he saw his future self (or the possibility of becoming just like him) in him.
The current state of John McClane is heartbreaking. He went from everybody's favorite hungover, bitter, too-old-for-this-shit cop in Die Hard 3, to a T-800 in the sequels since. Just stupid.
Bond’s the bombastic “lightening rod” blunt instrument. Plus a fantasy based on the Cold War. A war that was murderous and not that interested in honor. So made for a fantasy perfect for the time. More, he’s a spy in name only, his real job being murder and subversion of enemies of the state. (His character was based on WWII ex-commando types.) In Bladerunner the Deckard was a possible Replicant too. With only imprinted memories and no emotive framework. It’s just I find the more fun question of “what is right about your most hated” a real revealer of how spot on presenters are!

No. Roy saved Deckard because his life was hell and he needed to do one thing of virtue before dying. To prove he had a soul.
Way I saw it was taking into account that the replicants are given the five year life span because that's how long it would take for replicants to develop genuine emotions. The humans assumed when they developed emotion that the replicants would hate and rebel against them, but when Roy finally reached the last moments of his 5 year time frame he developed compassion.
Too fucking right, Ash. The only thing preventing Chris Pratt from being a horror movie villain is handsomeness.
I don't really consider Bond a hero but is still one of the greatest characters ever made. Bond doesn't care what he does, the guy is constantly in danger for a living, just as long as he survives to live another day he'll do what he wants.
@@buchichu7034 shut up beta. Go play Nintendo switch like a little boy. Leave bond for the real men.
@@buchichu7034 You sure are. But at least you admit it.
Conclusion : I must be a terrible person because I mostly liked the ones they despised.
Nah it means you're not a SJW loser like these sexless wimps in the video.
@thistubeisfucked Always love a King of the Hill reference
I thought that Jim in passengers did what 100% of us would’ve done. I love the moral conundrum in that movie
You always put Ash in the end to make us watch the hole video.
BUSTED!
You've really missed something vital about Harry and Ron's relationship and Harry's relationship to the Weasleys if you think they would have accepted charity from Harry for even a second. Ron and his family are very proud, they would have seen it as insulting for Harry to give them money, and Harry KNEW that. Look at what they give Ron and Harry for their 18th birthdays. They give Ron a brand new watch, something that was JUST for him, that isn't a hand-me-down and something he can be proud to show off. They give Harry an old watch that was a family heirloom, from Molly's dead brother, something that seems like SHOULD have gone to a Weasley family member, but they give it to him not just because they've essentially adopted Harry, but because they KNOW Harry won't have much in the way of family things. It makes him feel more accepted as part of the family and he immediately hugs Molly for it because it means so much to him. If you read this comment, I hope it makes you hate Harry a bit less.
If you ever read the books harry does really want to help Ron but ron Actually refuses his help all the time because he doesnt want to seem like less than harry. He actually wants to give his winnings from the tri wizard tournament to ron but he knows he wouldnt except it so he gives it to fred and George so they can start thuer buisness
And he makes the twins promise to buy Ron new dress robes out of it.
The twins become very wealthy due to their joke shop and end up giving lavish gifts to the other Weasleys, mainly Molly. This wouldn't have happened, at least so soon without Harry's investment.
He also gives expensive gifts to Ron like at the Quidditch world cup and Ron is quite sulky about it until Harry says it's for Christmas and birthday. Ron then pays Harry back with Leprechaun gold and begins to sulk again when he realises it disappears after a few hours.
Lots of faults with Harry but him not being kind with his money isn't one
Nobody cares. The topic is "film" heroes. Everyone knows that the films barely resemble the books. Shush.
@@jamesianhutchison1165 I wouldnt say nobody cares considering theres 26 people who liked my comment. I get what the title was I was just saying in case maybe she hadn't read the books. Also I wouldnt say thier nothing like them they leave alot of stuff out but thier more faithful an adaptation than most book to movies nowadays. So you shush.
@@jamesianhutchison1165 Even then, a lot of the things she complains about are explained or at leats hinted at in the movies. Soe her arguments are pretty weak. Although I do agree that Harry was overall pretty obnoxious as a character, especially during puberty.
Kody Gruska why don’t you shush getting so wound up about somebody criticising a kids book?
Funny how you described Andrew Garfields Spiderman as "doing this Edward Cullen thing", because I always described the Amazing Spiderman as "Spiderman for Twilight-Fans"
I actually always liked that frodo's decided to keep the ring. He always made the decisions he thought was best for his loved ones when no one would accept the quest he did knowing it was the right thing. And at the end does the most human thing of all and thinks about himself but because of all the love hes given his people are their for him and never thought twice about it.
Harry did offer to help and help the Weasleys a few times throughout the books. Molly repeatedly declined. He gave Fed and George winnings for their company. Has she ever read the series or going strictly by the movies? That argument doesn’t even hold up
Well considering that the video is called Which Movie Hero Do You Utterly HATE? Your arguement doesn't even hold up...
@@stevebutchart3638 Considering her argument is the opposite of what actually happen and based on false premises, your argument doesn't hold up. She says he flaunted his wealth and never offered to help the Weasley's financially. Which none of that is true. It's not about the fact she hates Harry, its the premise of why she hates him that doesn't make sense. I take it you've never read the books either.
@@SkeetersCousin Bud it's called Which MOVIE character do you hate... That means that the books have literally nothing to do with it. Or did you not reread the title after I posted it. Fact is, the way the movies are chopped and edited together Harry comes off like a selfish tool that bought all the stuff on the train so he could flaunt his wealth then never helps out ever again. Yes in the books he constantly offers to pay for stuff, and they describe how he feels that no one will let him, but the article is about the movies. Once again just to make sure you get the premise, MOVIES!
@@stevebutchart3638 even in the MOVIES did Harry offer to pay for items. The very first time he met Ron he did. So, yet again, the argument as to why doesn't make any sense. I'm not sure what part of that you're not understanding. The argument is set on a false premise, whether you're talking about the MOVIE or the BOOKS. Regardless of the title of the video, her argument does not hold up.
Every single protagonist in Michael Bay's movies, be they Affleck in Armageddon or LaBeouf in Transformers are thoroughly dislikeable and obnoxious.
Not sure that's a coincidence tbh.
protagonist =/= hero
Bad boys, I rest my case
@@TheAwesomo28 Will Smith and Martin Lawrence got a lot more likeable in Bad Boys 3 without Bay so you may be on to something.
What do you find obnoxious about Nicholas Cage in The Rock, and isn't Bruce Willis the hero in Armageddon?
@@VonWenk No, I'm pretty sure the asteroid is the Hero in Armageddon.
I love Lotr, and I think Ewan is 100% right.
Best thing is: In the Sillmarillion, which basically retells the whole history of Tolkien's world, Samwise is just mentioned as +1. It goes something like: "a brave Hobbit called Frodo Baggins and a homie of his wandered to Mount Doom and destroyed the ring".
“...top gear box sets and bottles of JOOP for Christmas...” Holy shit. 🤣🤣🤣

Interesting observation on Bond. If you really think about it, he isn't a 'spy', he's a government assassin and technically a villain himself.
Assassin yes but he pretty much stops international criminals and terrorists, hardly a villain.
Adam really nails what's terrible about Bond.
Call him a villain protagonist, or an anti- ... no, not an anti-hero, that's still too good for Bond. He's just an anti
Deckard being unlikable is the point of the whole movie, he isn't a classic hero. Also the "rape" scene made a lot of sense, she was a robot and she couldn't technically love, he was going crazy because he was in love with her, his job was killing replicants and now he was in love with one.
he also wasn't really raping anyone because:
1) she was an android
2) he wanted her to feel something
3) he was giving her orders because that's how robots work
Zona Star Wars I agree. It’s like every other person on list decided “hey let’s make a video bashing men characters in movies.”
Wait, that was supposed to be a rape scene? I thought it was just some raunchier, more aggressive sex. Wasn't she making out with him the whole time?
I love how Ash takes like 30% of screen time for this kind of videos
I must say that is one of the best Elijah Wood impressions of all time
Agreed 🤣
James Bond saved the world a million times, as far as I'm concerned he can do whatever he wants
James Bond is just lucky. I love the films, but he shouldn’t live like 75% of the time, he only does live because of other people that for some reason come back for him
The opening scene in Skyfall when he gets shot in the chest and then plummets 500 feet into a river... I was like, "Man, that dude is one tough mofo!'
"Stop doing what spiderman does ALL the time in the comics" lol
lol that's exactly what I was thinking. Sooo you don't like spider-man then?
I just hate how harry seems to know like no magic seriously other students are constantly teaching him magic and i know most of them had a head start on them but by the time he's a fourth year you can count the spells he's knows on your hands!
You forgot about the The Order of Pheonix where he teaches the other students defensive spells because they weren't learning any in class.
...or maybe the movies didn't make ot clear that Hermoine actually needed Harry to teach her spells like the patronus charm (though she was good at it immediately).
Yeah i included the defensive spells he taught cause half the spells he ever uses are self defense magic
Failed channel Because they work and can buy you time. Especially if you have no hope offensively.
@@kimberlyhaines107 i included attacking magic as self defense magic as harry wasn't ever the aggressor my point being all the useful non fighting related spells were mostly cast by other people i don't think he even used repairo once like seriously fix your own glasses
@@SlimeySlurmp I literally came here to call Harry out on never learning repairo. Like, she could have taught it to you on that train!!! Thank you 😂😂.
I totally agree with Vin Diesel in Fast and Furious, he’s the worst one of this list
TheyCallMe JL what about the rape happy James Bond?!?
TheyCallMe JL idk why they keep casting him in movies, he has zero charm and is about as interesting as a cardboard box
Except Gareth presented it....... can't stand the guy
Mythic Peyote fair enough well call it a draw
I'm glad I'm not the only person who hates Frodo and James Bond. In fact I once posted something on Facebook where I said Eggsy from the Kingsman films is the spy James Bond wishes he was.
You're so edgy!
Mr fox is sucking bonds cok all day. Every bond comment that is legit he trolls. I agree, I like the kingsmen portrayal of how a movie spy should be. Cuz real life spies are like ghosts, slipping in and out of areas undetected, gathering and using Intel to their organizations advantage.
I can relate to a lot of these characters. Frodo being one because I have struggled with addiction. Harry isn’t that bad, maybe a little boring at times but he is more of a character who show emotional support to his friends
"Put his end away", and "rumpy pumpy" are my 2 new favorite euphemisms.
Don't listen to Ash. If you intentionally wake someone from hyper sleep essentially ruining the future they had planned because you felt lonely and wanted someone to share your miserable fate.... DO NOT TELL THEM!
So rape them
What would he have done if she turned out to be gay?
@@waynenewark5363 Ever since I watched the movie, I had the exact same question! Talk about a plot-twist 😄
@@waynenewark5363 they'd still end up fucking eventually. Gay-shmay, anyone would want something eventually, especially because woman ten to be more fluid sexually.
I agree forever!!! Frodo is useless. Sam is the real hero
Yes! ^
Preach!
Finally, someone says Bond sucks. THANK YOU!
the guy from twilight, same ledger logic here.
He is not the hero but a side kick. Uncle Joe from Charlie and the chocolate factory, able to work but decides to be lazy and never help his starving family and only does something when Charlie gets the golden ticket.
Ok in fairness to Bond, Rambo also fought with the muja hadeen or how ever you spell that in Rambo 3
Rambo, however, can use mental illness as an excuse. Remember, he has PTSD and acts mainly on instinct when triggered.
Also the Mujahideen at that point were not linked to terrorism and were actively being supported by the CIA.
Rambo is a lot less rapey though
You are right about the martini thing, but he asks for shaken not stirred because the last time he got one stirred in Casino Royale, he got poisoned and almost didn't survive. More air in the drink means less chance of any poison acting faster.
The chosen one is NOT Neville, since the prophecy states that Voldemort had to choose him ("mark him as his equal").
Bond drinks his vodka martinis shaken because Ian Fleming created the character in the 1950's, when quality spirits were less common, even in relatively high-end establishments, than your local offy. The subtle flavours you're thinking of would be overpowered by the impurities that even Glen's gets rid of these days, and that's shite. Shaking makes the best of the poor booze available.
Granted, it does mean that as they've tried to 'contemporise' Bond, he should maybe have dropped that habit, but he doesn't do it because he's a boor.
I literally cannot for the life of me disagree with anything said... spot on.
Deadpool 2 made me dislike Deadpool. Dude didn't stop to take a breath the whole 2hrs. I know it's "merc with the mouth" but at some point I started tuning him out. Problem is now Renolds is doing that in every movie. The Fast and Furious movies only let him get away with it for a few minutes and I love them for that.
Dr Brooklyn Deadpool 2 was a big step down from the first...but that’s the thing with movie studios if an actor gets praised for one performance they’ll ask them to do the same thing in all the movies....I mean look at RDJ, Dwayne Johnson...etc. which just sucks cuz they’re all good actors and have a lot of range (well maybe not the rock) but Reynolds and RDJ are great actors.
THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only one who realized that Ryan Reynolds now plays Deadpool in every single movie he's in! Not only that, but the humor in the Deadpool movies mostly just relies on him saying bizarre curse words that sound silly. They really need to beef up the writing for the next one.
Reynolds has always done that in movies; his character in Blade 3 is almost exactly the same and if you look at his back catalogue it’s very, very similar.
Didn’t know Yoda was in Lord of the Rings
I totally agree with Adam Clery 100% James Bond is a terrible spy ...
Yet he saved the world and got the girl in very movie. While you're sat alone getting cucked by overweight feminists.
Mr Fox Yet here you are making assumptions with absolutely no background information to support your claims about OP.
Unlike them and Adam who has a typed out list over a page long of questionable actions James Bond has done. If anyone comes across as a cuckold, it’s you.
Shaking a martini doesn’t make it fizzy, it dilutes it. It’s a perfectly acceptable way to drink a martini. ✌🏻
Harry: You're Voldemort!!
Voldemort: no YOU are!!!
Spidermans pointing at each other meme explains it all.
Sam is the hero
Honestly can't deal with Bond either. Adam's rant was delightful.
I actually really love the WhatCulture team. Keep it up guys! Also Gareth could get it!
The first guy doesn’t get that THE RING EFFECTS PEOPLE AND MAKES THEM EASILY MANIPULATED!
Rey Palpatine 😠
Shame on you for hating Deckard and Bladerunner. He's the way he is for a reason.
Deckard is in fact a horrible person, even if the society he lives in is worse. Roy is the hero of the movie.
Alice from the Resident Evil movies.
Everyone hates her tho 😂😂😂
Everyone using book references to defend the movie character... Movie Harry was selfish a lot of the time.
Also Fast and Furious characters are annoying, so is the guy from the Mummy.
The Rock is the best thing about the past few FF movies.
I never would have would have thought James Bond would be on here 😂 😂 😂
He has a point about James Bond being a shitty spy though.
It's because generation snowflake can't stand a real man like bond. It reminds them of how weak they are and how little sex they get.

Sometimes I wonder about being in a "Passengers" situation, and whether I would do the same thing.
I think after a few years, we probably all would. We're social beings after all. I guess it highly depends on the circumstances. I would have not simply woken somebody up in the hopes of having sex with that person sooner or later, but if there's only the two of you, I guess it's only natural that people do eventually "fall" for each other. Just watch Big Brother and you'll notice how many people with basically no shared interest end up in a "relationship", at least whilst they're in there.
I would have gone way further and opened every pod I had access to until we had enough of a hive mind to get into the captains pod
Never watched the movie so I don't really understand couldn't he have just got back into stasis?

Weirdly agree with most Talking heads in this one. But think there is difference between the way a charcter is written (to be a protagonist we should hate/not relate to) and a poorly acted _hero_ (an other actor could make that person seem relatable/heroic.)
Shoutout to the non predatory men of whatculture calling this shit out!!
"Probably Voldemort at the door."
I soooo agree about Jim (Chris Pratt) in Passengers. "It's just horny nonsense." How can you like a so-called hero that wakes up another passenger to spend the rest of their life trapped on this spacecraft. But, when she finds out what he did she does act accordingly.
If you're weren't such a moronic brainwashed sjw with no internal dialogue. You'd maybe understand why someone destined to spend their life alone in space might do such a thing.
But you keep virtue signalling like a good NPC.

I found it hilarious that she was just like "substitute human connection with a mural"
100% think if she was ever in that situation she would be drawing that mural with her own excrement before waking everyone up on that ship.
Also Indiana Jones gropes Willie in the Second movie, but thats a matter of semantics
Deckard wasn’t great in the book either. I think it’s written so we question how ‘human’ he really is. His actions were always a bit off, like how he’d dismisses his wife and all that other stuff. (The wife is in the book. Not the film) I think the point of his character is to show how humans can easily become complacent in their actions.
Going one step further, I would argue that the majority of Philip K. Dick's protagonists aren't terribly likable, which I suspect was deliberate...
I totally agree with Frodo. Finally somebody says it! It is not even about the character issues. The ring might be a valid excuse for that... whatever, but just as a viewer I thought that it was super annoying to watch him wining and bitching about everything
I'm not convinced Clery has ever actually seen a James Bond film. He's just got a list off someone else.
I finally remembered, the woman whose arm he threatened to break was the mistress of the world's deadliest assassin, who he thought had targeted him. It's not like she was some innocent.
Shaking a martini waters it down. So he's ordering weak drinks and pretending it's cool.
A martini is a cocktail, genius.
Tell you what, I totally agree with Cleary, Connery's Bond is the fucking worst even though people say he's the "definitive" 007. Love you, man.
What bothered me most about Dominic Torreto in the first The Fast and the Furious movie was: He owns a Restaurant, a Garage and a Toolshop AND he constantly wins at street racing. What does he need to be robbing trucks for again?
Couldn't agree more about James Bond!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks Bond is a shady tw@t...
Too many truths too list! Special points to Frodo, James Bond, and Jim. Same. Super same😥
Zoe FINALLY made into a chatty faces video.
Vin Diesel sucks, agree about that one.
I liked him in Boiler Room.
Why do Frodo listen to Gollum? Because he has the one ring around his neck, an object full of malice and deceit so of cooourse he listens to Gollum, who knows exactly how to talk to Frodos ringpoisoned mind
I always thought that Frodo listened to Gollum because having the ring around his neck all the time made him understand Gollum much better and hoe Gollum became what he is now. and besides pitying Gollum he saw his future self (or the possibility of becoming just like him) in him.
🌟Stellaaa Kowalski🌟 that also plays part of course but the malice he feels towards sam comes from the ring and is fueled by Giollum
Is it just me or does any one else feel that ASH is just incredibly beautiful and charismatic.?
Would you say Dominic Torreto is.........Riddickulous?
Dont think I've ever agreed with every entry before 😂
Oh my god that Frodo impression. Hahaha.
The current state of John McClane is heartbreaking. He went from everybody's favorite hungover, bitter, too-old-for-this-shit cop in Die Hard 3, to a T-800 in the sequels since. Just stupid.
Love the term rumpy pumpy 😂🥴🤣
Wait, someone actually watched Passengers...?
Bond’s the bombastic “lightening rod” blunt instrument. Plus a fantasy based on the Cold War. A war that was murderous and not that interested in honor. So made for a fantasy perfect for the time. More, he’s a spy in name only, his real job being murder and subversion of enemies of the state. (His character was based on WWII ex-commando types.)
In Bladerunner the Deckard was a possible Replicant too. With only imprinted memories and no emotive framework.
It’s just I find the more fun question of “what is right about your most hated” a real revealer of how spot on presenters are!
Steven Segal, apparently he's a tossed in real life, but he did once throw Jack Whitehall in a fountain so...
