->Creator/GeorgeLucas galloped into the [[TheEighties 1980s]] on a stallion made of diamonds and the tears of lesser men. After pummeling into submission everyone who ever told him his ideas were [[ItWillNeverCatchOn "terrible" and "unprofitable,"]] Lucas had Hollywood literally holding its breath to see what he would come up with next. What new gilded nugget of [[MerchandiseDriven merchandisable inspiration]] would erupt from his bearded skull like an oblong T-shirt cannon?... Studio heads were prepared to battle each other [[TheThunderdome on nitro cycles in Thunderdome]] just to see what Lucas was going to bring to the table. And ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' was what he came up with.

->I wasn't just angry that I'd wasted time and money on a bad flick. I felt betrayed. They had taken a premise with plenty of potential, and quite simply [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot ruined it in every conceivable way]]. This is also the first movie screening where the audience I was with became openly hostile. It's not that I haven't seen bad movies in the theater before. Up until then, I'd always been in with audiences that had a percentage of people who liked the movie... Or, if the majority did think the movie was bad, they just communicated their disappointment by silently shuffling out of the theater like pallbearers. My ''Highlander II'' audience, though, was [[ProducePelting actively disliking the movie]]. During the love scene, people were groaning and shouting derisive remarks. And when the credits rolled, they didn't just boo, there was a collective ''growl''. I could see the ushers quickly excusing themselves [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere for an extended cigarette break, far, far away from here]].

->People are quick to point out ''[[{{Film/Jack1996}} Jack]]'' as being the point where [[Creator/FrancisFordCoppola Coppola]] began to lose his freaking mind but either they forgot or don’t know he made this boring pile of trash.

With ''{{Film/Supernova}}'', ''Jack'', and now ''Cotton Club'' you have to ask: why did we ever hire this clown? Oh that’s right, ''Godfather'', ''Godfather Part II'', ''Film/TheConversation'', and ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. Fuck.

->While her husband is assumed certainly dead, Chewbacca's wife Malla watches a comedic cooking show about [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment a four-armed drag queen making a pot of smashed meat]]. It's around here where the viewer's confusion begins to form into a tasteable hate... If you love ''Franchise/StarWars'' and comedy, then this is like watching scientists saw your wife in half. A part of you dies with her, and that magic trick is ruined forever.

->The reason the storyline is so hard to swallow isn’t just because it’s insane – comic readers like insane – it’s because it seemed genuinely demented. JMS was a creator most readers had learned to trust from a young age. His stints on ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', followed by his work on ''Series/BabylonFive'', ''ComicBook/RisingStars'' and his first year on ComicBook/{{Spide|rMan}}y were relatively beloved.\\\
Now fans can’t pick up a copy of ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'' or ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold'' without the looming feeling that it could blow up in their hands. It’s the Roman Candle effect -- totally fun until you’re being treated for facial burns. To be fair, JMS didn’t dig the story either and wanted it [[CanonDiscontinuity stricken from the record]] after all was said and done... ''Sins Past'' and ''Sins Remembered'' are some of the worst comics by talented creators – ''Spider-Man'' or otherwise – that fans have ever had to endure. The upside? Knowing it probably can’t ever get any worse. [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay Or can it?]]"''

->''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' was so insanely, teeth-grindingly terrible it nearly killed the entire ''Star Trek'' franchise (and {{space opera}}, arguably, as well) forever. Even Jeri Ryan in a lycra suit couldn't redeem this atrocity, which took every annoying tic and quirk and cringe-inducing faux pas of every ''Star Trek'' episode ever and [[ClicheStorm built a series around it]]. It was woefully bogged down by irritating non-characters (all of whom inspire nothing less than an overwhelming compulsion to [[EightDeadlyWords punch each one of them in the throat]]) and plots smothered in politically-correct tedium. It also had the most hateful comic relief character ever to appear in a sci-fi franchise (the insufferable 'Neelix') until Jar Jar Binks rolled into town. And that includes [[Series/LostInSpace Herbie the Robot.]]

->->It's inevitable - everyone's got a bad one in them, and any artist that doesn't die young will eventually run out of steam at some point. They get old, they get complacent. No one can keep the fire burning forever, it happens. But until the end of my days, I don't think I will ever, ''ever'' see such a shocking drop in quality as this. You remember in ''Film/SpaceJam'' where aliens secretly stole the talent from NBA stars and suddenly those players completely sucked? I can only assume something similar happened to {{Music/Eminem}} in 2004 because I can't come up with a single better explanation for what happened to Slim. The song was called "Just Lose It", and Eminem ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin just lost it.]]'' All of a sudden, Eminem had become everything his critics always said he was—witless, unfunny, obnoxious and [[AttentionWhore trying too hard to shock.]]

->''"The fans’ love-hate relationship with [[Creator/WilliamShatner the Shat]] is a complex and beautiful thing, but [[ForgivenButNotForgotten embedded deep inside it, like a festering cyst]], is the grudge we bear against him for foisting upon us the strangely bastardized take on the ''Star Trek'' ethos known as ''The Final Frontier''.
