History YMMV / JupiterAscending

* HarsherInHindsight: The scene where Titus explains to Jupiter what 'nectar' is - and she accidentally drops a container of the fluid, causing her to go into a HeroicBSOD. The ''true'' horror arises when you consider the start of the scene when Titus and Jupiter walk into a storage area filled with ''thousands'' of the containers, it's implied that the area may be only one of several aboard, and Titus (not to mention Kalique speaking earlier) mention ''that what Jupiter has seen is an infinitesimal glimpse of the genocide visited upon uncounted worlds filled with human beings'' just to maintain the supply of 'nectar' to meet the universal demand.

--->'''Greeghan''': You hurt me. And I'm going to make you regret it.

* LesYay: Jupiter doesn’t seem to have a problem with Katherine walking around in her underwear in the same room, or Kalique stripping naked and bathing in front of her.

* WTHCastingAgency: Jupiter Jones can't seem to get another job besides cleaning houses, making it odd that they cast the lovely Creator/MilaKunis to play her. One would think that--although Mila herself says that Jupiter is too lazy to improve her situation--she could at least find a more comfortable job as a receptionist or some other PR figure.

** Aleksa Jones. Maybe not at first, but think about it: she loses her husband at the very beginning of the movie, then [[AdultFear her daughter gets kidnapped]], and for most of the movie, she's worried sick about her. [[spoiler:She and the rest of the family then get kidnapped and almost killed by Balem]], and in the end, [[spoiler:her mind gets wiped after Jupiter saves her, so that she doesn't remember anything that happened over the past few days]]. To say she goes through a lot would be correct.

* FoeYay:
** Kalique compliments on Caine's, ahem, physique, when he barges into her palace without a shirt.
** The driving force of the film is the conflict between the Abrasax siblings and Jupiter, the genetic recurrence of their mother. While the Abrasax patriarch is never mentioned or seen, the two Abrasax brothers definitely have an unhealthy interest in their mother. Titus is TheCasanova whose defining scene is a ZeroGSpot pseudo-orgy of heavy petting. He plans to secure his claim to Earth by marrying Jupiter, and all that implies.
** Balem's main goal is to kill Jupiter to retain his claim to Earth. Pretty standard villain fare, until his VillainousBreakdown culminates in the reveal that he murdered their mother in the first place, and he screams "YOU BEGGED ME TO DO IT!!" Combined with his disrespect for her personal space, that shows just obsessed with her he is.
** The scene before Titus [[spoiler:tries to kill Caine]] reeks of HoYay, complete with whispering his evil plan in Caine's ear while circling around him.
** Kalique disrobes in front of Jupiter, looks at her seductively, and then rises from her bath with a glamorous young body in one of the few nude scenes in the movie.
%% ** Famulus has a bit of this while gloating over Caine.

* LesYay: Jupiter doesn’t seem to have a problem with Katherine walking around in her underwear right in front of her, or Kalique stripping naked and bathing in front of her there.

* CriticalResearchFailure: At one point, Jupiter uses a maxi pad as a makeshift bandage for Caine's wound. That is a decent idea on its face,[[note]]The disposable absorbent pad was actually developed to treat battlefield wounds and quickly adapted for feminine hygiene.[[/note]] except she applies ''the sticky side'' to the wound, not the other side actually designed for absorbing blood. One would think her actress, Creator/MilaKunis, would know herself which side does which.
