** It’s also funny that Agent K’s objective in this film is to prevent an alien invasion from occurring on Earth, considering that Brolin would later go on to portray one of the most [[ComicBook/{{Thanos}} iconic aliens in comic book history]], whose forces [[Film/TheAvengers2012 invade Earth]] [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar more than once]].

* UnfortunateImplications: The ''only'' Asians in this film (and therefore this entire film series) are either [[AsianRudeness loud, rude and unfriendly]] ''literal'' Aliens in dirty Chinatown restaurants who ''literally'' serve disgusting monsters that are health-violations, or ''deliberately'' ugly and silent extras who pander to despicable YellowPeril stereotypes.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Boris]], known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Animal]], is by far the most [[AxCrazy murderously sadistic]] villain in the films, and easily the most personal. He is introduced being freed from prison by [[MonsterFangirl his girlfriend]], whom he lets die when she is blown out into space, and kills another prisoner whom he promised to take with him. He travels back in time to eliminate K as personal revenge for destroying his arm when he was captured, causing a present day invasion by his race of [[PlanetLooters Boglodites]] to consume everyone on Earth, which is his ultimate goal. Boris despises his nickname of the Animal, and will kill anyone who refers to him by it. A remorseless butcher who isn't afraid to kill anyone in his way, he kills a number of targets in the past, finds his past self so pathetic he only refrains from killing him because he would be erased from time, and [[spoiler: murders J's father out of spite for being thwarted by K.]]

That makes utterly no sense.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Primarily the revelation that [[spoiler: J's dad dies at the end of the film.]] It feels like the writers pulled it out of their rears, considering that the film hints that J is the one who will end up dying after pulling a HeroicSacrifice. In fact, some people think this would've made the ending more poignant if J died and K knew all along that it was his destiny to do so.
