Character that ruined a TV show / Movie


Jar jar binks.

Jada Pinkett Smith's character in Gotham. I had to stop watching in the end.

reply

My God, she was awful.

reply

Mayim Bialik in the Call Me Kat TV show.

She could not hold a candle to Miranda Hart.

reply

I saw for the promo for it & was like, nope! Haha

reply

Hated both versions, US and UK.

reply

I think the most obvious was Oliver in the Brady Bunch.

reply

That's the first thing that popped into my head...

reply

She Hulk.....she ruined the entire MCU...

reply

Never even saw She Hulk. My work pal Danny and I love the superhero stuff, we constantly talk about DC and Marvel and he totally warned me away from this show. I guess it was pretty shit, eh? Danny don’t lie.

reply

It was really bad. It was almost a complete surreal, Campy comedy. It made the old 66 Batman TV show seem like a drama. 😂
It was so bad to me that I really have no desire to watch anymore MCU stuff. A 5 minute scene at the end of the last episode killed my desire for anymore MCU stuff..

reply

Damn! I will avoid it.

reply

Haha. Yeah. Some people thought of it as meta. 😏 The thing is I get what they were trying to do. A trick they did in the comics. (Which I never liked there as well) But film and tv is a different media. Ironman set a tone for the MCU. They were treating the material as a little more adult. Yes while we get some comedy stuff in things like Guardians of the Galaxy. You can't overdo it. She-Hulk over did it. I should also mention Thor Love and Thunder as well. I watched both around the same time and Thor was another nail in the MCU coffin for me. When they showed that Dumpling God, I was thinking this is f'ing stupid. The whole movie was one big joke.

I'm sure some comic fans won't mind as much, but general audiences who are comic book fans and never read any of the comics are gonna start to bail out.

Wow, glad I never tried it!

reply

I hate most of the MCU shows but I thought SH was okay starting with episode 2.

reply

I still enjoyed the show but I think My Family would have been better without the introduction of Abbey, Roger and Alfie.

MASH: Alan Alda, Larry Linville*

Little house on the Prairie: Dean Butler, Matthew Labyorteaux, Linwood Boomer

Superbad: Jonah Hill

* In defense of Larry Linville, I know he was playing the part assigned to him, it was just such a poorly written role. Nothing personal against the man himself.

reply

I loved Alda and Linville. Sad the character pretty much ruined Linville’s career though.

reply

Alda is such an arrogant ass who wrote for himself and turned many other great characters into props to support his ego.

Frank Burns was a suck character. I'm glad Larry had the sense to leave the show when he did.

reply

Edward Furlong in Terminator 2. The guy was excruciatingly irritating. One of the many reasons why that overrated borefest is unwatchable.

reply

Agreed. He sucks the ass.

Kathy Bates getting naked in About Schmidt. I’m still nauseous. 🤢
