In what movies did you WANT the bad guys to win?

The tv series glee, at first I found it alright but the characters started to really annoy me and soon I was hoping they wouldn't win the
competition thing, which they didn't but by the end I wasn't even watching anymore.

Hmm. I don't know if the Manga predicts something else, but if the final few quotes from the Death Note the Anime gives are to be believed...JRiseley said:
I'm not too sure about that.
Really, several people here give me the chills. Sick, sick people.
On topic, (not a movie) Lost. Such a screwed up ending. At one point, I was totally convinced the "good guy" (Jacob) was the bad guy.

Your welcome. If it's any consolation, there's nothing to stop the bad guys from waiting until most of the remaining humans were relocated to planet Bob, & then wiping them out. In fact, that's probably what did happen, but the movie ended before we got to see it. Seriously, humans get a new planet, so the bad guys call it quits? Why? Humans had a planet before & that didn't stop them from getting attacked. No logic there.MortisLegio said:

Huh. The ending of the Anime implies he just ceases to exist.
In fact, it goes a step further and says ALL humans just cease to exist, and there is no afterlife of any kind for anyone.
Granted, I always found that a bit strange in context with the existence of the Shinigami, but that's what it said.

When did it say that?CrystalShadow said:
I thought Ryuk explicitly states that the user can not go to Heaven nor Hell, which implies they exist. That, plus the imagery of Light dying on the middle of the stairs representing Purgatory.
well at least the bloke committed, no ' i'm just misunderstood' bullshit there the guy was evil to the core, splitting your own soul? definitely committing to evil right there.ThreeWords said:
OT: star wars, luke skywalker just irritated me, if han solo had been evil i'd have gone to see every star wars film in a 'I <3 the empire' t-shirt.
Braveheart - Hear me out!
I'm Anglo-Irish, so understandably I'm very familiar with the histories of Celtic peoples and their oppression at the hands of the English. As abhorrent and ruthless as the English were in 14th century Scotland, the sneering, cackling homosexual pagans (notice this sounds like a Troll insult) of Braveheart are just a tad incomprehensible as they are ridiculous and I'm sure the Scots have never been so uniformly carved from stone, their women so Tintorreto-esque and their patriotism so thick. In stark contrast with the English lack of morals, looks, religious fervour or ability to make friends, it all makes for a bit of an American cultural stereotype parade. Irish renegade Stephen is an insult to Irishmen everywhere and the battle in which the Irish slave army and the Scottish clans pool arms and join against the English in the manner of a bar brawl has a just a hint of 'ethnic marketing'.
William 'I-Hate-Ugly-Englishmen' Wallace as portrayed by Mel 'Fuck-The-Jews' Gibson is so jingoistic and philosophically indignant throughout it makes a man weep. Notice that his constant farting of the words 'Freedom', 'Justice', 'Courage' and 'Liberty' has a disturbing similarity with a certain President we'd all like to forget. The actual history behind it can only be described as butchery with monarchs from different centuries brought into the equation for Wallace to conquer and his own past rethunk to have him as a peasant farmer, as opposed to being Scottish minor nobility.
Finally, accents. If you want me to empathise with a character, have them pronounce their words properly. Wallace's father sounds like a member of Lindisfarne, not a rough highlander. As for Robert the Bruce, only he knows where his accent was going. At the end of it all, the film says more about America's views of the British isles than the isles themselves, and I could only breathe a sigh of relief once Wallace was inevitably caught and executed.

Whoops. Just realised I probably should have put a spoiler around that. (I'll fix it in the old post, but I can't fix it in your quote)
The series is littered with direct quotes from the supposed instructions to the death note.
In the middle of episode 36 (the second to last episode), it indeed repeats "The human who uses this note can neither go to Heaven nor Hell."
But... The final (episode 37) has this to say in one of those supposed 'How to use' quotes:
"All humans will, without exception, eventually die."
"After they die, the place they go is MU (Nothingness)"
Since this statement is about ALL humans, it includes those that have used a death note. It does not even preclude the previous statement, since MU (or Nothingness) is indeed, neither heaven nor hell.
It just fails to point out that this has nothing to do with having used a death note or not.

Tony Montana from Scarface. It really depends on the way that you look at him though. He is the greedy leader of a major drug company and we all love him.

Hmm... Well that seems inconsistent... Oh well fuck it, the canon is blown to pieces. I'll just mentally block all episodes after 26 then anyway.
EDIT: Unless that means there was really no penalty for using the Death Note after all...

Eh. Probably for the best. The Last parts of the Death Note Anime are just... Messed up.
