Movie makers always strive to create the “perfect” visual media product. From TV shows to movies and their franchises, each creator uses various techniques to captivate audiences and, maybe, even make history with their work. 

Still, despite their best efforts, mistakes happen. From time to time, these slip-ups go unnoticed or aren’t so big that they hurt a big part of the audience. Other times, people aren’t so forgiving, especially when the mistakes ruin everything that was created before. That’s what this list is about—scenes that are so bad, folks online aren’t planning to forgive the writers anytime soon. So, let’s dive in, shall we?

Solomon and Anne from "12 Years S***e" I really hated that in the movie for 12 Years a Slave they had him hook up with a woman while he was a slave. In his book (it's a true story that he wrote himself after getting out) he says he stayed faithful to his wife the whole time. I don't care if someone thought the audience wouldn't believe that, it's wrong for them to insert something like that when he clearly stated he didn't.

For me a scene that didn't fit with the rest of movie was the ending of Elf. The whole movie was funny and silly, but then when Santa comes in and they save the day be singing? I know it's a Christmas movie, but the ending is cheesy and out of place for the rest of the film.

    When you actually think of the premise of the show and then what's happening in the episodes, the ending makes perfect sense. He loved his wife/mother of his kids, but she's dead and he's lonely. He's always had a thing for Robin and he'd like to date again. He's essentially asking for his kids' permission to date without it being weird using all the stories and anecdotes about his past.

    Yes. I was really mad at the ending. After all that build up, I admit I was prepared to be disappointed by the show picking some flavor of the week celebrity to be the mom. They built her up into this specific character, and I couldn't picture anymore living up to that, but Cristin Milioti was such an excellent choice. She felt right to me & I had such hope... It took pandemic boredom to make me rewatch it, and it actually made sense as you explained it, when you know how it ends. It's like rewatching Fight Club once you know how it ends. There are these little subtle clues that you either miss or misinterpret throughout the show that point to mom has passed away & he's trying to get his children's blessing to date the only other woman he ever truly loved besides their mother

    There are many ways film creators make movies captivating. Some rely on storytelling for that. By making the narrative engaging, understandable, relatable, and educational, storytelling holds a lot of power. In fact, some say that it is the heart and soul of filmmaking. 

    Other movies count on video editing—or, better put, post-production magic. For instance, making the movie immersive is mostly done by including the senses of sight and sound, as these are the most easily fulfilled in film creation.  

    With sound, makers can use spatial, binaural audio, and other sound effects to enhance realism. The visuals usually rely on the filming methods, then added effects and editing in post-production.

    Deb from "Dexter" When Deb f*****g confessed her love toward Dexter. Who the f**k confesses romantic feelings to their brother? I don't care he was her adopted brother, it's still her f*****g brother. Entirely ruined the rest of the show for me.

    The stupid therapist put the idea into her head, too. She didn't even feel that way until then.

    That continues to p**s me off. First, why did Holdo even have to do it to begin with? This universe has technically advanced autopilots and droids, certainly one of them could do it. Secondly, that's not how hyperspace works. Hyperspace sends one to another dimension entirely, not just accelerating to high speeds. Thirdly, if this does work, why don't people do it more often? This would have come insanely handy for taking down the Death Star or the Malevolence. Why weren't the clone wars full of people hyperspace ramming each other? Anyways that's my schizo rant for the day, thank you for reading.

    Wasn't that the whole point of the character?

    Speaking of visual effects (or special effects)—they are an irreplaceable part of modern filmmaking. Typically, they are of two types—practical and digital. The former are when physical objects and techniques are used while filming, like makeup, prosthetics, animatronics, pyrotechnics, and so on. They have been used since the early days of film creation. 

    Then, with the evolution of technology, digital effects came to be as well. They count on things like green screens, motion capture technology, digital compositing, and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to create needed visuals that can’t be done physically.

    At the same time, some argue that CGI has kind of ruined the movies. Here, as Erik Hoel says, nowadays makers opt for digital effects (and especially computer-generated imagery) as much as possible, neglecting physical effects to cut down on the cost and effort. This results in movies from back in the day looking more real than they do now. 

    For him, this is most apparent in sci-fi and fantasy films. For example, in the remakes of, let’s say, A Nightmare on Elm Street, the effects are vastly different than they were in the originals. Also, in series like Star Wars or Matrix, the decline of physical effects is visible as well.

    Rey and Kylo Ren from "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" Star Wars 9 (spoilers ahead but I really don't want you to watch it - it was only visually good and is no longer in cinemas)

    the story between Rey and Kylo Ren was really interesting - you had two people on differing sides, with different stories, concerning their experience with the force too, constantly fighting nearly to death, but increasingly with kind of a shared burden, one being definitly an insane antagonist, but one who was pulled to the light side (reverse Anakin, I liked that interpretation) - I was really intrigued even in this movie by how human it seemed, but, most of all, how platonic. Many people got rather sibling vibes from them, and I would found both them really being such or just being force-brothers, again, sharing this burden and parting ways peacefully, really memorable.

    >!And then they kissed. Furthermore, after all he's put her through, she goes in for it.!<

    I cannot forgive the screenwriters for the feeling seeing this gave me. It shifted their entire dynamic and ruined an otherwise, far as I can remember, really facinating story between two people. Plus, to me, promoted toxic romances alongside so many other series

    Edit: thank you guys for the support

    I saw the original star wars movies in theaters back in 77 and 80. I feel like the originals were better. They didn't have CG (to speak of) which IMO forced them to lean a bit harder into actual plot and character dialog. Some of the later movies just felt like a ton of CG wrapped around a central IP but less 'soul'. I never bothered to see the last two or three releases.

    View more comments

    Yet, CGI is not the only thing that ruins movies for people. Sometimes, a movie can be an amazing creation until one particular scene comes along and ruins everything. Whether it’s a new character joining the story, an old one returning, their acting out of character, or a new thing being revealed that changes everything—the ways in which a story can go wrong are endless. 

    If you’re craving more specified examples, this list is perfect for you. It was collected from answers people had when r/AskReddit posed the question, “What single scene ruined an entire movie/franchise/ TV series?” Since they asked, the thread has gathered 18K replies, showing that plenty of people have been disappointed by scenes in their beloved stories. 

    While the number sounds pretty bad, we also should remember the good old saying, “Art is subjective.” That means that, while a scene might ruin the whole experience of a movie (or TV show/franchise as it is said in the original question), others might not bat an eye.

    The revival totally ruined many characters. Rory had no direction, Lorelai was STILL having commitment issues, Lane (who I felt was just as smart as Rory) just stayed in the same town and was given the 'got married/had kids but nothing else' trope. The only two characters with any uplift was Paris (a successful doctor) and Emily (who did some major character growth after her husband's passing).

    I vaguely remember this scene and thinking how it was forced drama and unnecessary.

    Maybe it doesn’t bother them as much as others, or perhaps they don’t notice it. After all, in 2024, the average attention span is 8.25 seconds—less than that of a goldfish (9 seconds). 

    Either way, that doesn’t change the fact that some people can’t watch their beloved stories the same way they after the aforementioned scenes happen. Even if the controversial scene were taken out—like the scene in the TV show 13 Reasons Why was—you can’t pretend it never happened. People still remember.

My nephew is 12 y/o and writes all these really cool stories & makes his own comics, and for me the show is very similar to being able to watch something from a kid's imagination come to life. I mean come on, the monsters are named after D&D characters and one kid fights a demogorhon with a slingshot. It's not meant to be Citizen Kane

    Jaime almost died in a fight. They should have let him die, Arya finds him, takes his face, becomes Jaime, goes to Cersei, she dies in his arms after he stabs her, prophecy fulfilled, then she shows Cersei it was her as she's dying. "But she can't [end] the Night King AND Cersei" yeah because she never should have [ended] the Night King, Jon Snow was supposed to [end] the Night King. Just once it would have been nice to have something happen that WAS expected. They got so obsessed with surprises that they ruined some major plot opportunities.

    Agreed about the apparent obsession with surprises. [Spoiler alert] In another example, I would have preferred to see Sansa and Arya working out how they would take Littlefinger down than getting hit with the unexpected reveal that they'd been doing that behind the scenes. Would have been far more interesting to see those exchanges than to hide them for a surprise. For those who haven't seen it, there is still a lot in the show to be impressed by, though. But be forewarned they do take some things too far.

    I don't hate the concept of a female doctor but I didn't much care for the one they actually had. Not sure it was her though. Part of it was probably where they went with some of the scripts. Trying to be more woke or whatever. I don't care if a character is straight / cis / trans or whatever, but I do care if their sexuality etc becomes it's own character so to speak.

    everything after Capaldi needs to be retconned. Whittaker was talented, but most plot lines were horrible, and the Timeless Child, I dont know of any fans who consider cannon. And Ncuti Gatwa, great choice, but they kept the bad the plot lines from before, and they had a few bad missteps with him. Its bad writing, bad writers, and bad plots. They need to change a lot at the production level

    I dealt fine with this. It gave a better answer as to why the Doctor was able to regenerate more than the 12 alotted times and gave me hope for a never ending series. It also helped explain The Master a bit better. Jody was an awesome Doc, but it will never be a long term part. I love seeing all of the old companions coming back for a visit.

    I was struggling to follow the show under him, and I was kind of expecting this to be the Master - would fit the character, add some layers, and be a nice subversion of the protagonist/chosen one.

    Yeah, it's not like we have research on what really happens in a zombie apocalypse, but we do have research on smaller scale disasters that strongly suggest people would begin rebuilding a functional society pretty quickly. Not saying it would be great, but it seems it would not be the kill-first-ask-questions-later scavenger wasteland presented in most shows like this. I stopped watching this one when I still called it Walking Dead Through the Woods, since that was such a common scene, at least early on. I appreciate that was probably for budget reasons, but between that and the situation never really improving or changing, it got old.

    Was it the first "It was all a dream" ending? If so, it was fine. Newhart and the alternate ending of Breaking Bad, where it was Hal from Malcolm in the Middle dreaming he was a d**g kingpin were fantastic.

    All I remember is wanting Gerard Butler's character to win.

    Jamie Fox's character should have been prosecuted for murder. Sure, Butler's character was a bad person, but, leaving a bomb in his cell to kill him? That's murder

    The Dothraki from "Game Of Thrones" The Dothraki charge into the night king's army. I just sat there and told myself: "what the f**k is this ridiculous s**t?".

    What was ridiculous about it? It just showed how easily slaughtered they were. Are you referring to how dark the scene was? It showed up okay on OLED TVs.

    I had no problem with seeing it either, although apparently so many people did that it was a problem that maybe should have been foreseen. I also thought that episode looked pretty incredible and had a lot of fun watching it.

    My main problem was that the majority of the Dothraki clearly would not have made it out and her there were somehow endless Dothraki still popping up for the rest of the battle.

    Batman from "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" How has nobody mentioned the infamous ‘Martha/WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!’ scene from Batman vs. Superman? It’s unforgivably dumb.

    Also the element in Avatar being called ‘unobtainium.’ So stupid. That movie came out, what, 12 years ago? I still randomly get pissed off about that from time to time.

    Edit: guys, to be clear, I *understand* the ‘Martha’ thing, and what it means. That’s not the issue. The issue is that it was f*****g stupid, and it felt clumsy as hell.

    Edit 2: people are *still* ‘explaining’ how the Martha thing ‘actually makes sense,’ GUYS I GET IT.

    "unobtainium" has been in use for decades - maybe this poster just didn't get the joke?

    There’s no evidence that Cameron used it to perpetuate the joke. It was a placeholder in the script to be replaced by something less silly later, and they never got around to coming up with something. It was laziness, not clever humor.

    Unobtainium is kind of a common term to use in the military and government spook show. That's where it comes from; it was adopted by comic books.

    Unobtainium is an actual scientific term. It is often used to describe a room temperature super conductor, because with our current technology it is believed to be impossible. The material in Avatar is exactly that, a room temperature superconductor (that is what causes the flying mountains, the unobtanium is leading to magnetic levitation). Such a material would be incredibly valuable, because it would allow for incredible leaps in technology across all kinds of spectrums. The part about Martha, though, that was definitely poor writing.

    I always interpreted his use of "Unobtainium" as an in-joke w/ people who knew it's long (and presumably complex) name and just used the short-hand.

    It made history because it coined the phrase that everyone uses now to describe a show that is going waaaay south.This show jumped the shark when they introduced Mork.

    The only good thing about it was that it spawned the term "Jumping the shark" to indicate a series has gone on too long.

    Sam from "Supernatural" I loved Supernatural, and everything was pretty perfect all the way through season 5. Good character development, redemption arcs, tying the original storyline up with a nice bow. Sam will be trapped forever, but in doing so redeems himself and saves the earth. Dean might finally have a chance at happiness and the stable home life he deserves. And thennn NOPE! Sneaky last moment of the last episode of season 5, Sam has escaped from hell and is back on Earth, so everyone get ready for like 8 more seasons of this!

    I loved Supernatural - all of it - Yes, the first story arc was the best, but to say seasons 6 through 15 shouldn't exist is crazy.

    It was supposed to end at Season 5, that's the way the story was originally written by the showrunner Eric Kripke, then the network had to be greedy with the good ratings and kept beating a dead horse until season 15. Maybe it was all CW had to keep their channel going, IDK.

    The first 5 series had a proper story arc. That is why it is generally regarded as superior
