Yeah, Eva 3.0 was an odd one. Half of me wants to like it because I am a fan of Kaworu and find him likable. The other half hates it because the whole thing would never have happened if they JUST EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED TO SHINJI. Explain the fact that you caused the third impact, explain that Rei is a clone, explain that Nerv is planning to cause a fourth impact, explain things to Shinji god damn it or else he will do something stupid.[Kira Must Die said:

That wasn't my biggest problem with the movie. The movie is 67% spectacle. Literally the first and last 30 minutes (in this 90 minute film, mind you) are nothing but action scenes with very little explanation or development with any of the other characters. The middle is primarily used to develop Shinji's and Kaworu's relationship, which, outside of the music, is the best part of the film, but it only makes up a third of the movie and still doesn't establish anything about the previous characters or the setting, which is bad if you're gonna make this drastic a change to the story. We know nothing of Misaki or Asuka and what they've been through over the years, and we know absolutely nothing new about Mari, as she seems to be just there. Not to mention nothing in the previews from the last film was in the movie, which makes me thing the film went through some serious rewrites.Izanagi009 said:
You can make the argument that it's setting up the next film, but that's also the problem. The movie doesn't feel like a complete film, and not just that but it feels short. The other Rebuild movies at least felt like full movies, and they were able to fit way more story and character development (How it compares to the original show is debatable, but as standalone films I think they do a good job.), while this one waste most of its time on long action sequences that are just boring when you are given no reason to care.
I think you mean "Steven Moffat". Russel T. Davies was the showrunner during the 9/10 era, a.k.a The Best Era And I Will Hear No Argument.Parasitic_Chick said:
Here's the scene in Moffat-era Doctor Who that really makes me hate him:
"Let it go! We've moved on!" My ass. This is a direct statement to everyone who prefers David Tennant that they're being so silly, it's in the past, the new Doctor is so much better, blah blah fuck you. It's as much a fuck you to Davies as it is to the fans.
And yes, I know that Doctor Who has a long-standing tradition of poking fun at itself, but come on. Between the snide jabs and the systematic dismantling of everything Davies contributed to the canon (the Rift in Cardiff magically healed itself! Guess we don't have any reason to go there anymore!), can we really consider this shit good-natured?
It's really no more that way than the first game was. I mean sure it gives us vermire, but the only effect it really has on the ending is which bodies you have available for the final mission. Granted this is a bit of a problem when compaed to mass effect 2 but the extended cut does remedy this by tying your readyness rating to events in the climax more closely.momijirabbit said:
I think your problem is that your standards were set ridiculously high.There was no way that they were going to make drastically different levels for all of the choices that you made in the previous games (hell Skryim can't even have characters react to shit you've done within that same game. I mean I can be the archmage of the college at winterhold,the head of the theives guild and the listener for the dark brotherhood and it basically has no effect on anything outside their respective questlines. I know that has nothing to do with ME3 but it just really annoys me), and it's not like they have no effect on anything either. You get different dialogue, and different outcomes to the scenarios themselves. Also I don't really understand your point about character death. Sure you don't really see certain characters after a certain point, but in that case (and especially in the case of mordin) it's usually the end of their character arc. You might as well say that it doesn't matter if characters die at the climax of a film from a ramatic perspective, because the film is basically over and you never hear from them again (Unless there's a sequel). The death of well known characters is a legitimate consequence whether you want to admit it or not.Mikeyfell said:
The ending of Mass Effect 3. It ruined me on the series, so much that I don't even want to go through and replay the whole thing again.
And Breaking Bad, mostly the ending. It was somewhat of a let down to me, the final show down was with a group of guys that weren't in 90% of the series and just got kinda tossed in there at the end. I don't feel like the show ever got to a point that it needed to go. Where Walter was sort of a badass and got to be the new Gus. Yeah it happened on occasion but for the most part he was constantly under the control of someone else.
I think a much better ending would have been one where Walter ended up forcing Hank reluctantly shoot him down. It would have made it more emotional and tragic.

I'd have to say the remake of the movie of "The Shining". It was fucking brilliant ... so perfectly in sync with the book, so much creepy and awesome...
Until the last 5 minutes ... Oh he had a change of heart and sacrificed himself to save his family!!! FUCK YOU!!! Ugh it was terrible.
And Shutter Island
Awesome movie full of mystery and awesome. Until the last 15minutes or so when Scorsese decided it was all too vague for his audience to comprehend so did a scene by scene run down of the movie carefully spelling everything out in case people didn't understand it.
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO fucking insulted by that.
FUCK YOU SCORSESE

The ending of the anime Corpse Princess. It left me scratching my head and looking on the disc for any episode I might have missed.
The ending basically happens in the middle of a fight between the main character and her arch-enemy, but it happens on the second to last episode. The episode even ends with 'to be continued'. The last episode? It's a side story about characters who died in season one.
Oh, Jesus. I couldn't think of anything until someone in the comments mentioned George Lucas. I'm not even that big a fan of the original series, but they were at least decent films. And then he put a fucking sing along session in Jabba's palace section, in the HD release. Fuck! What was that about? What was he thinking? Was he taking the piss?

One of the hosts starts telling the audience he hates their guts by about the 7th episode
It took so little time

Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon not making proper DVD box sets of their old school cartoons, forcing me to get them through means I don't like or buy them off other people instead of just selling them online directly from their sites. It's like, "fuck you, no childhood nostalgia for you!" So I say right back, "then fuck you too, you don't deserve my money, you clearly don't want it in the first place."
When my first ever 360 red ringed right as soon as its warranty ran out. I swear to god it was a deliberate design choice just to milk more money out of people.

Someone's already pointed out that Steven Moffat, not Davies, but yeah, it was pretty bad.Parasitic_Chick said:
How many times can the say "Doctor Who" in an episode, or bring up bow ties, fish custard and don't get me started on River Song.
Their attempts to be cutesy and funny just felt so forced by the end of Matt Smith's run.
It definitely had it's moments but I was so sick of being reminded that bow ties are fun and cool every two seconds, just in case I had forgotten that Steven Moffat is hilarious.
Season five was one of my favourites and six had some great episodes but I gave up watching season seven when it was airing. I watched all of the reboot recently and finally got around to watching the last handful of episodes and they were an effort to watch.
Hopefully season eight will be less wibbly-wobbly.
The ending for comic Wanted
The comic insults the reader for being a loser and not a racist murderer and a rapist (which the comic assumes is synonymous.) It also insults the reader for wanting the protagonist to succeed despite the only reason I finished it was to see the protagonist fail. He got away with everything. It's the type of comic Elliot Roger might have written.

I guess it's not particularly a "fuck you" but more of a heart-wrenching twist that occurs in the documentary Dear Zachary. Anyone who hasn't seen it should do so as soon as they have stocked up on tissues and are ready for a big weeping session.
I actually knew about the connection between the games, but you have it backwards, and that that's the case for Ending E of Drakengard specifically (this is the ending where Angelus gets shot down by fighter jets after defeating the Queen of Grostequeries, white chlorination syndrome being caused by the maso from remains of the "White Giant" and magic being developed from the remains of "Red Dragon"), while Drakengard 2 follows Ending A. Hence my comment about whether or not one of the endings would lead to a spin-off game.inu-kun said:
There are a lot of "fuck you"'s out there, specially in the video game industry.
But in my opinion, the worst of them (because of how common it is) comes from the consumers themselves.
And it's when someone talks/posts about a glitch or bug they had in a game, and people reply along the lines of "it doesn't happen to me, so it isn't a problem".
They are as obnoxious as those who reply with "it works in my computer" or "works for me" in tech help forums (as a related note, people who reply "I'll send you the solution in a PM" score a second place).
