24* Franchise/{{Alien}}:
25** ''Film/AlienCovenant'': Christopher Oram, for a few reasons but [[TooDumbToLive mostly for his multiple idiot moments]] ([[spoiler:one of which ends up getting him killed]]), [[{{Jerkass}} refusing to allow Daniels and the crew to properly honour her husband]] and ''his best friend'' and when they do calling it "a breach in protocol", [[ItsAllAboutMe thinking that the crew are somehow distrustful of him despite showing no signs of it]] claiming them and the company don't like religious people and just the fact that everyone ([[spoiler:including ''his own wife'']]) who dies and every bad thing that happens can be traced back to his decision to up and change course to their Engineer homeworld without putting it to a crew vote.
26** ''Film/{{Prometheus}}'': Charlie Holloway is a douche of a scientist who makes several immature and asinine decisions during the expedition, as well as having a very nasty attitude towards David (purely because the latter is a synthetic) and taking advantage of his wife's grief over her infertility for the sake of convincing her to have sex with him.
27* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'': [[HerrDoktor Dr. Kafka]] has taken flak for being just too cheesy or campy that it felt out of place even with Max Dillon's ''and'' Rhino's brand of campiness, like something out of [[Creator/JoelSchumacher Joel Schumacher's Batman films]]. Additional flak comes from the character being [[InNameOnly significantly different]] than the Dr. Kafka of the comics, who was a woman and one of the good guys, not to mention largely devoid of hamminess.
28* ''Film/BlackChristmas2019'': Kris is not well-liked due to her SoapboxSadie persona being perceived as too obnoxious and self-serving, with little regard for how Riley feels, except when it benefits her. She is also apathetic to Helena's disappearance and seems to make a habit of flashing {{Kubrick Stare}}s at people when they disagree with her. [[spoiler:Plus, she gets a KarmaHoudini by surviving to the end.]]
29* ''Film/BlankCheck'': Preston's father, Fred, is undoubtedly the most hated character in the movie, even more than what the [[HateSink writing intended]]. In addition to the [[AdultsAreUseless usual uselessness]] in most 90's kids films, he lets his two older sons bully Preston and use his room for their own business (despite being incompetent at computers), berates Preston for not doing the same (or finding a job, despite being clearly too young to do so), starts the plot by being so money tight that even giving him twenty bucks for a theme park is too much to ask, expressed [[SkewedPriorities more concern about how Preston's bike was ruined]] rather than [[NoSympathy concern that he was almost hit by a car]], and overall is just so unlikable that Preston comes ''just'' shy of being actually sympathetic in the process.
30* ''Film/Brothers2009'': Isabelle is the most despised character, [[JerksAreWorseThanVillains even more so than the truly villainous Afghans]], for coming off as very bratty towards her father, ''who just came back from war'' and flat-out saying in a callous manner that he should have died... which [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom directly leads to Sam's breakdown]] in the climax. The fact that [[KarmaHoudini she doesn't suffer punishment]] (aside from the belief that she will now live with that guilt and the fact that her father suffers from PTSD) doesn't help either.
31* ''Film/ChristmasWithACapitalC'': Greg (played by conservative comedian Brad Stine) is supposed to be Dan's quirky, inseparable sidekick and a CoolUncle to his children. But his constant quips get annoying really fast, his various rants about "political correctness" in regards to Christmas making him seem less like a man protesting a corrupt system and more like an EntitledBastard making a big deal over nothing.
32* Malak from ''Film/ConanTheDestroyer'', whiny, cowardly and, except for one scene, TheLoad.
33* Despite coming up with some inspired villains like General Zod, Black Manta and Ocean Master, the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' has a serious issue with some of its other villains falling into this trope. Examples include Jared Leto's Joker (who was disliked for his "edgy" design and not bearing much resemblance to the comic book character,) and Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor (disliked for his eccentric, manic performance and not bearing much resemblance to the comic book character...noticing a pattern here?) A few villains stand out as particularly hated:
34** The villain Enchantress was seen as the weakest part of the ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' (and given how people felt about the Creator/JaredLeto Joker, that is ''really'' saying something). This was thanks to a combination of [[FlatCharacter poor characterization]], [[GenericDoomsdayVillain generic and vague motivations]], and her {{Story Breaker Power}}s that leaves little room for an interesting conflict. Not to mention that she's horribly out of sync with the rest of the movie; watching her battle the Suicide Squad is a little bit like watching Film/{{the Dirty Dozen}} fight [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]]. The odd decision to have the character flop about like a [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Wacky Waving Inflatable Flailing Arm Tube Man]] for most of the movie and Cara Delevingne's poor performance certainly didn't help matters either.
35** Steppenwolf from ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' is considered to be the most forgettable and least-liked villain of the franchise due to having a bare-bones personality and an uninteresting CGI design. It didn't help matters that he was the main villain of the film instead of the more popular Comicbook/{{Darkseid}} (or, really, any New God; Steppenwolf is [[UnexpectedCharacter pretty much the definition of C-list]] among the group) or actual Leaguer villains like Starro, Amazo, Dr. Destiny or Vandal Savage. His version from the ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' film is seen as better in most regards by comparison, thanks to having a redesign that veers into UglyCute depending on his facial expressions and a fleshed out backstory that makes him more sympathetic.
36** After a few films' worth of supervillains that managed to be more warmly received, Ishmael/SABBAC from ''Film/BlackAdam2022'' revived the trend by having the flimsiest of motivations to the point where he's barely a character. Exacerbated in part due to the titular Black Adam already being an enemy of Captain Marvel and the Justice Society, so SABBAC's very presence only detracted from Adam's moral ambiguity.
37** Dark Flash from ''Film/TheFlash2023'' was immediately hated thanks to being an uninspired EvilKnockoff to a character that's known for having an incredibly diverse rogues' gallery. It's like if Batman or Spider-Man had to fight Man-Bat or Venom in their first film. His backstory of being born from a time paradox that he himself created showed the script had been through several writers with varying levels of enthusiasm and the reveal that he was actually an older version of an alternate Barry Allen - who was already hated thanks to his irritating personality and hijacking a role that could have gone to Wally West - meant he lacked neither the charisma nor the intimidation factor needed to carry a movie.
38* Snails, the thief from the first ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' movie, was hated for being an incredibly aggravating EthnicScrappy and a failed attempt at the PluckyComicRelief. [[spoiler: While his death may have pushed him into AlasPoorScrappy-territory for some, Ridley's BigNo following it at the hands of evil head minion Damodar was considered the height of {{Narm}}.]]
39* An adaptation of ''Literature/TheDunwichHorror'' from TheSeventies gives Wilbur Whateley a love interest. Most Lovecraft fans consider her everything wrong with Hollywood.
40* ''Film/Extraction2'': Sandro, like you would not believe. Aside from receiving poor comparisons to the much better received Ovi from the [[Film/{{Extraction}} the first film]], Sandro is utterly hated for acting like an UngratefulBastard towards his rescuers and blindly idolizing his father (who displays much evidence that he doesn't reciprocate the feelings at all). [[spoiler:His response towards the UnwantedRescue is to betray his own family and reveal his location to his father, who leads a seige that results in the death of the [[EnsembleDarkhorse much-liked]] [[SacrificialLion Yaz]]. To top it off, he gets off [[KarmaHoudini completely scot-free]] by the end of the movie, even if he expresses genuine regret later on.]]
41* ''Film/TheEyeCreatures'': Culver, the CovertPervert, was labeled by [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Tom Servo]] as one of the most instantly unlikeable characters in film history.
42* Ruby Rhod from ''Film/TheFifthElement''. He's supposed to be the comic relief, but the only thing he does is scream like a little girl and complain about everything in a grating, high-pitched voice, and while no one would call the rest of the movie a masterpiece of characterization, Ruby Rhod has ''zero'' depth to his character beyond being "[[EthnicScrappy humorously effeminate]] [[UncleTomfoolery black guy]]." Not only that, he is ''[[TheLoad completely useless]]'' and does nothing to help the plot or the other characters. This seems to be the point of the character, as protagonist Korben Dallas is frequently grimacing around Ruby and clearly dislikes him. In recent years, however, he tows the line between this and BaseBreakingCharacter, considering the amount of growing fans he has acquired for adding a little personality to the film, thus being the comic relief.
43* ''Film/{{Gamera}}'': Toshio, or [[DubNameChange Kenny]], is a particularly disliked example of the sort of obnoxious KidAppealCharacter who tags along for no reason in many kaiju and sci-fi films, such that [[WebVideo/BrandonsCultMovieReviews Brandon Tenold]] dubbed all such characters "Kennies." What makes Toshio such an irritating example of the type is that he's not TooDumbToLive in a normal childish way, but outright deluded about the danger Gamera poses in spite of witnessing the monster's rampage firsthand, and puts himself and others in danger while trying to interfere with the adults' efforts to stop it.
44* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''
45** Minya/Minilla, a.k.a. the Film/SonOfGodzilla is often panned by ''Godzilla'' fans of all ages due to his goofy nature, odd resemblance to a [[Series/DiffrentStrokes young Gary Coleman]] and the Pillsbury Doughboy, and the fact that he starred in ''Film/AllMonstersAttack'', which is widely considered the worst of the Japanese ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' films.
46** There is [[Film/Godzilla1998 the first American Godzilla]], nowadays officially called Zilla due to this trope. He is hated for being [[AdaptationalWimp weak]] compared to the original, lacking the powerful breath vision and durability, as well as having a totally different backstory (he's a mutated marine iguana, not a dinosaur). He also runs away from the military, and looks very different from the original. Ironically, in some international markets, he's actually ''by far'' the most well known and popular monster of the franchise, and it's the Japanese one and the [[Film/Godzilla2014 newer American one]] that's hated (primarily due to [[NoExportForYou poor]] [[BadExportForYou distribution]] of the Japanese films in these regions, leading to the 1998 film greatly overshadowing them in popularity). In more recent years, Zilla's status among the fandom has softened (in part due to his appearance in the comic ''Comicbook/GodzillaRulersOfEarth''), and many have begun accepting him as a terrible Godzilla incarnation, but perfectly acceptable as a distinct kaiju on his own.
47* ''Film/TheGoodSon'': Wallace is well-hated by viewers for [[AdultsAreUseless refusing to believe his nephew about his son]], even locking him up after Henry pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit. The fact that he [[KarmaHoudini gets away with it]] hasn't done any favors.
48* ''Film/HanumanVs7Ultraman'': Sipuak and Sisuliya, the comic duo who come off to a lot of viewers as less funny, more annoying.
49* Alfrid in ''Film/TheHobbit'' trilogy. While he was tolerable in the [[Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug second film]] where he didn't overstay his welcome, he's almost unbearable in the [[Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies third]] due to a combination of being incredibly unlikeable even for a HateSink, a CanonForeigner in a script already stuffed with them, a comic relief character whose gag of AesopAmnesia wears thin very quickly, lacking any plot-relevance to an already badly padded story, and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse his storyline not actually concluding in the theatrical film]] (leaving him a KarmaHoudini). On top of that, he's a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to his boss in the prior film, who was at least based on a canon character and played by Creator/StephenFry. Even fans of the film despise him, as his role of comic relief was filled better by the dwarves in prior films, who are largely DemotedToExtra in ''Five Armies'' in favor of him (a decision believed to be the result of ExecutiveMeddling and near-universally seen as a poor one). It's rumored that audiences ''applauded'' during a screening of the Extended Edition, which added a scene where Alfrid [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty dies horribly]] (and [[UndignifiedDeath hilariously]]).
50* ''Film/JingleAllTheWay'' features an InUniverse example with Turbo Man's sidekick, Booster. It's a RunningGag that every store Howard and Myron go to is sold out of Turbo Man action figures, but has a large stock of Booster action figures. During the climax, Myron, dressed as Dementor, snaps at the guy in the Booster costume when he tries telling him to stick to the script ("Nobody likes you, Booster!") before he knocks him off the parade float. Afterwards, the kids surround him and start beating on him yelling about how much they don't like him.
51* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'':
52** Sarah Harding from [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark the second film]]. Despite apparently [[InformedAbility having years of experience with dangerous predators]], she does extremely stupid things such as approaching a baby Stegosaurus standing right next to its family, taking a baby Tyrannosaurus back to their base camp (despite her predicting that T. rex likely cared for its young), and walking through the jungle covered in T. rex blood despite knowing that Tyrannosaurus has a very good sense of smell. She's basically a [[TheLoad complete load]], and her completely idiotic actions end up costing people lives.[[note]]Technically, bringing the baby to the trailer was [[Creator/VinceVaughn Nick van Owen]]'s idea, and she does call him out, but still agreed to treat the injured baby, and while she tried to take the jacket off later, the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' parents caught up anyway.[[/note]] In a similar case to ''The Man With The Golden Gun'' listed above, she is a genuinely competent ActionGirl in [[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 the book]], but the film [[CompositeCharacter combined her with Richard Levine]], who is an impulsive moron.
53** The Spinosaurus in [[Film/JurassicParkIII the third film]] is this because of its status as overpowered. When your EstablishingCharacterMoment is killing a T. rex (easily one of the most popular dinosaurs of all time and not just the film series), you're going to be drawing a lot of hate. It's telling that [[AllThereInTheManual promotional materials]] for Film/JurassicWorld had to retcon it as the result of experiments to give dinosaurs feathers, and it may have been a forerunner to the Indominus Rex, but in the end the damage was done, as Spinosaurus only appears as a skeleton in that film smashed by the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', and specimens hidden on Isla Nublar are confirmed to have gone extinct in promotional materials for ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', although this falls into AlasPoorScrappy for some.
54** Then there's Amanda Kirby from [[Film/JurassicParkIII the third film]], who easily earns the title of the most hated character in the series. Starting when they land on the island, she spends ''way'' too much of her screen time either [[ScreamingWoman screaming hysterically]] whenever she has even the slightest reason to, or simply being TooDumbToLive, even though most of this is justified from her concern for her son, who has been stranded on Isla Sorna for weeks. Because of her boneheaded nature, she continuously makes Dr. Grant's attempts to keep everyone safe harder than ever, and it really doesn't help that on top of all that, she has other less-than-admirable traits such as occasional moments of stubbornness and selfishness. To be fair though, she ''does'' get a little better and smarter by the end, but at that point, it really isn't enough to make much difference or make up for all of her incredible moments of stupidity that nearly got herself and the others killed. [[spoiler:In fact, the character of Tiffany from ''WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous'' was based off of her; given the character's generally and ''extremely'' unpleasant nature and gruesome death, it's widely believed that it served as a TakeThat.]]
55** Franklin from ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' gets a lot of hate for being a walking nerd stereotype who does nothing but complain, whine, and even scream during 90% of his screen time, as well as for being comic relief in a movie that honestly didn't need any. The fact that he does nothing of importance other than take out Wu, which could be just as easily accomplished if Zia had released Blue a few seconds earlier, doesn't do him any favors. As if to reinforce his disliked reception, he had only one or two appearances in the next movie, and people lamenting that Creator/JusticeSmith wasn't given a better character to play.
56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:K-W]]
59* ''Film/TheKarateKid1984'': You'll be hard pressed to find someone who likes Freddy Fernandez for being a FairWeatherFriend to Daniel. Especially when compared to the Cobra Kais who had Johnny's back when he lost, defying a violent ShellShockedVeteran then quitting in response for nearly killing Johnny. Even the subtle hint the two are still friends in ''Series/CobraKai'' isn't seen as enough to redeem him.
60* ''Film/LadyInTheWater'': Vick Ran. Unlike most of the examples listed here, it's not because he's annoying or unlikable. The real reason he's hated is because he's essentially destined to become the messiah of writers...who just so happens to be played by [[AuthorAvatar the film's writer/director]]: the one and only Creator/MNightShyamalan. Needless to say, many viewers didn't care for Shyamalan making a character who exists just to brag about how amazing his writing is. The fact that this movie was widely panned only makes the ego trip even worse for most. To top it off, he was even nominated for and won the MediaNotes/GoldenRaspberryAwardForWorstSupportingActor at that year's ceremony.
61* ''Film/TheLegendOfZorro'':
62** The poor young Joaquin was dumped into the mix, adding a needless (and quite annoying) child element when all people were wanting was to see Creator/AntonioBanderas and Creator/CatherineZetaJones kick any asses they might have missed from the first movie.
63** Jacob [=McGivens=] is considered by many to be a terrible and utterly forgettable villain, due to being very useless, ineffective, incompetent, and obnoxious...in addition to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having a distractingly unconvincing scar]].
64* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
65** ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'': Of all the MCU villains, Malekith the Accursed has the fewest fans. He doesn't have any real motivation for trying to destroy the world, and while most of the [=MCU=] villains were fairly {{Flat Character}}s at that point, most of them had at least a little more to go on. Malekith has nothing; it's even worse when compared to [[Film/{{Thor}} first film]]'s AntiVillain BreakoutCharacter Loki.
66** ''Film/BlackWidow2021'':
67*** This incarnation of Taskmaster has very few fans, largely due to [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the massive deviations in almost every respect]] from the comic book character, one of the more popular Marvel villains at that, to the point that it's widely considered InNameOnly (and even then, the civilian name has also been changed). What really makes it bad is not just the changes, but the fact that Taskmaster is reduced to a mind-controlled, voiceless {{mook}} with no personality to speak of that might have made the changes tolerable, making the character a [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Winter Soldier]] knock-off, [[spoiler:even discounting the gender swap]].
68*** Dreykov is similarly unpopular for being a one-note, underutilized BigBad who's hard to take seriously and hurts the attempt at a more grounded story with his over-the-top nature. [[HateSink Although all the hate was intentional]], he still fails to be a truly menacing villain, for that matter, making it a complete waste of Creator/RayWinstone's talents. [[spoiler:[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking In addition]], his final death scene during the finale suffered from a severe case of SpecialEffectFailure.]]
69* Zeppo Marx quickly became audiences' least favorite member of Creator/TheMarxBrothers, due to his failure to adopt a strongly identifiable screen personality like Groucho, Harpo, and Chico. This eventually caused him to go behind the scenes and manage the other three, though they continued having straight romantic hero parts in their films that Zeppo clearly would have played if they'd still been together. Ironically, several of their contemporaries stated that in real life Zeppo was the funniest of the brothers. This includes the Marx Brothers themselves, as not only was he a capable straight man, he could subtly suggest further improvisations without breaking character or drawing undue attention. In contrast, most of the non-sibling cast had difficulty dealing with the brothers without laughing or storming off angrily. Played with by ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', when they named Xander "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E13TheZeppo}} The Zeppo]]".
70* ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter'': Icey Spoon is an old woman who is, without a doubt, the personification of '''The Nag'''. She's constantly belittling her husband to the point that he's completely ineffectual in helping anyone (she even admits to a crowd that she thinks about canning when she's having sex), she pushes Willa Harper into getting remarried to Harry Powell, and is utterly won over by his charms. Half the problems in the movie John and Pearl have to deal with are because of Icey's "helping hand". [[spoiler:When Powell is finally arrested, Icey appears at his trial, drunk out of her mind and leading a lynch mob to hang Powell.]]
71* ''Film/{{Orphan}}'': John's stupidity, blind trusting of Esther, ''cheating on Kate after the stillbirth of their child'', and myopia towards all the horrible events that had been occurring since Esther was adopted made him quite unlikable among viewers, to the point that [[spoiler:his brutal death comes and goes without much thought; the rest of the film is dedicated to showing the much more likable Max attempting to survive Esther's rampage]].
72* ''Film/OsmosisJones'': Frank is seen as such for being such a despicably unlikable slob. Especially with how he [[TooDumbToLive casually disregards his own health]], his apparent apathy towards Shane's frustration, and Creator/BillMurray's emotionless performance. It doesn't help that the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix'' shows him [[AesopAmnesia going back to his old self-destructive habits]].
73* ''Film/PearlHarbor'': Rafe is widely hated by viewers for being overly cocky, hot-tempered and downright unlikeable. It's not helped by the other characters going on about [[CharacterShilling how wonderful and talented he is]].
74* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''
75** Philip the missionary and Syrena for being a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to the couple of Will and Elizabeth. Many people thought they feel out of place with the rest of the cast (a priest in a pirate ship) and like Flat Characters who just slow down the plot even more.
76** Between the villains, Barbossa and Davy Jones are some of the most popular characters of the franchise, Beckett and Mercer had some fans too and Salazar and Angelica are base-breakers, but hardly anyone is a fan of Blackbeard. He's seen as uninteresting in comparison to the rest of the villains gallery and suffers severe BadassDecay after his introduction (being introduced as ''the pirate all pirates fear'', having a powerful ship and sword, but then not doing anything really cool the rest of the movie). The fact that he changes from a Loving Dad to a ManipulativeBastard to Angelica depending the scene doesn't help.
77** Shansa and Scarfield also suffer this to some degree for being a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Tia Dalma and Norrington respectively, two of the most popular characters in the fandom, without having enough screentime to make them feel unique enough to justify it. Shansa got it worse since she only had two scenes and fulfilled the same role on Tia Dalma in DMC (give some advice about the enemy and an artifact that can help them in their adventure). While Scarfield is shown to be more of a Jerkass and acts as the HateSink instead of TheWoobie without redeeming qualities, he still follows in the same role that Norrington had in the original movie but without getting any significant action sequences, which make many feel his character was redundant to the plot.
78* ''Film/{{Pixels}}'': Ludlow has NoIndoorVoice and acts like a complete LoonyFan towards Lady Lisa, complete with StalkerShrine and everything.
79* ''Film/SantaClaus1959'': The narrator. He loves telling the audience the most obvious things and ''never shuts up''.
80* ''Film/SevenBridesForSevenBrothers'': Benjamin (the orange-shirted brother). He was played by a former baseball player who couldn't sing or dance very well. Look closely at him during musical numbers; he's either in the background, seated or blocked by a crowd. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if his designated bride wasn't trained singer/dancer Julie Newmar (who was apparently angry about this as well).
81* Many fans of Creator/GingerRogers and Creator/FredAstaire strongly dislike Harriet Hoctor in ''Film/ShallWeDance''.
82* ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'':
83** Lenny Luthor, for being annoying and obnoxious. Somehow [[Creator/RichardPryor Gus Gorman]] from the previous film seems like a good idea.[[note]]Notably, when Jon Cryer was cast as Lex Luthor for the ''Supergirl'' TV series, he explicitly mentioned in interviews that he took the role as "an apology" for playing Lenny.[[/note]]
84** Nuclear Man is also regarded as an absolutely awful character, thanks to his evil press-on nails, cheesy electric powers, and ridiculous weakness.
85* ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'': Eric Sacks is an unnecessary new character who steals the spotlight not only from Shredder but from Karai and Baxter Stockman as well. What earns him such a great amount of hatred is the fact that he was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen supposed to be]] this incarnation's Shredder through a RaceLift. Even with the inevitable fan backlash and acquisitions of whitewashing during the film's production forcing the writers to split the characters (thus diluting Sacks' importance in the overall plot), the negative response to his character is likely why he was completely dropped with [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome no explanation]] from the sequel ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows''.
86* Heathcliff, the dismally unfunny comic relief in ''Film/TheWildWorldOfBatwoman''. He's a major reason why the movie is painful to watch, even with [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mike, Tom and Crow]].
87* ''Film/TheWolverine'': Viper, with any semblance of being a MagnificentBitch taken by [[spoiler:Yashida himself]], leaving her an enormously bitchy SmugSnake with FetishRetardant. Didn't help her case when Viper's characterization here gives her snake powers [[note]](she didn't have any in the comics, as she was originally "Evil Black Widow")[[/note]] and Creator/SvetlanaKhodchenkova was terrible in the part. As a final punch to the gut, she has absolutely ''nothing'' to do with her comic book counterpart.
