Your biggest "Fuck you" to the audience

[DrunkOnEstus]

That movie for the show "Dead Like Me". The show was a decent and enjoyable dark comedy thing that I liked a lot, but the show's ending left a lot of unanswered questions and was unsatisfying. Cue the movie, which changes every character's motivations, introduces new and completely stupid characters, has a tone totally different from the show, and introduces more questions than it ever answers. Not to mention all the hamming it up that happens with the little closure there is. This is all probably because it came out way too long after the show ended, and without Rube it had little chance of being worth all the trouble.

First time I actually gasped and then proceeded to scream "NOOOOO!" at the television screen. Absolutely horrifying. Trust me, I've seen some sick shit in the realm of Japanese horror movies, but nothing compares to this. I mean you could hear the goddamn *CRACK* and *SPLASH* like it was a pressure tank filled with goo!
I mean good God, is Satan himself behind this? I knew from the moment the fight started what would happen, but it was.. just gruesome..



Fucks sake, mate.

TLDR right away! What was, in your opinion, the biggest "FUCK YOU" to the audience that you ever witnessed in a movie, tv show, book, video game, anime, manga etc.

Game of Thrones!

Martin has already delivered a way bigger kick in the stones to his fanbase. Finish Storm of Swords on cliffhanger, make 'em wait five years for the next book, have it resolve none of the plotlines from the previous book. :colbert:

The DmC: Devil May Cry mop hair. You can't really get a more obvious "fuck you" than that. If it hadn't been for the controversy surrounding the new Dante and the way Ninja Theory responded, it might have been a humorous reference to the older games. But given the context surrounding the scene, I really can't help but feel that Ninja tried, and failed, to get a rather childish last laugh.

THIS. Dir. Tameem Antoniades didn't quite beat out Lucas w/ Jar Jar Binks, by trainwrecking Dante, but he was running pretty close. He was "sayin' it with his chest" for a second there. I confess I was among those at first saying wait till the game's out, and subsequently twitching an eyelid or two at the awkward punk teen stereotype I was seeing. AGGH! No Class! Seems he forgot arrogant people are only funny when they show self-aware about it.

Plus I enjoyed Odyssey to the West and Heavenly Sword. So DmC did manage to elicit an slow 'Aw you mothafuckas...'

I'm normally forgiving of artists, and protective of their right to do whatever the hell they want, but yeah with established canon, I will admit there are lines.

It goes to all this trouble to give a businessman a alternate life. Then he chooses the girl. But instead of giving him the marriage and children of the alternate life, it ends with him meeting the girl. So no actual reward or proper ending at all.
.

"girl"......"reward".....not exactly the best way for a thing to frame it

I don't know the thing your referencing but we can assume the "possability" of a relationship is the end, the "unknown" can be a comforting thing in thease cases

 

[immortalfrieza]

Mass Effect 3's last 10 minutes was a pretty big "fuck you!" for me.

It kinda ruined the whole thing for me to the point where I regret buying and sinking hours upon hours in the multiplayer to get the best ending possible.

...and then Bioware tops it with the Extended Cut's Refusal ending. Unlike the original ending, which is obviously simply the result of half-assed rushing, the Refusal Ending clearly exists simply as an outright FUCK YOU!!! from Bioware to everybody who wanted different endings, particularly the ones who wanted a "slug it out with the Reapers and kick their asses" ending.

 

[RavingSturm]

Mass Effect 3 - your choices dont mean anything
Killing Joke - the exchange between Bats and Joker is nothing really clever
Watchmen-Alan Moore trolling the reader's expectations
AvX crossover - Wanda says more mutants just like that
Xmen-Schism- just an excuse to put Logan in charge of his own school, break up the x-men teams again
Secret Invasion - pathetic excuse to bring back dead characters
Evangelion - creators obviously were stumbling around in the dark
AssCreed 3 - like anybody really cared about Desmond Miles
Fear Itself- just gets Thor away for a year, pretends to kill BuckyCap just to get SteveCap to suit up

Almost forgot:Batman-RIP - sorry you have to get into Final Crisis to see what happens to Batman! grrrr

Okay then, let's talk about last episode of Game of Thrones!
I am seething with rage and infuriation. And don't get me wrong, I'm not against good characters getting killed. I think that the Red Wedding was brilliantly done and felt not forced and even somewhat natural in the flow of events as a whole. But the conclusion of that fucking fight between Viper and The Mountain just really felt like a giant "FUCK YOU" to the whole audience! Here we have an amazing new character with interesting backstory portrayed by a very good actor. And now he's gonna get brutally murdered by a FUCKING CARICATURE whose actor was replaced two times! And don't even get me started on how freaking bullshit that death was! You telling me that someone with skills and reflexes of Oberyn wouldn't be able to just roll away quickly after getting knocked down? Or that he wouldn't be able to block one hit to the face? And that even Mountain would be able to do all that after getting hamstrung, pierced through the chest AND poisoned?! It all just felt forced! Like Martin was thinking "There's no way I can just let more skillful warrior win! Let me check up my ass... oh, here it is!"

Sigh... anyway, what about you people?

Well mine is also from GoT, though it's the books. Specifically the ending of the fifth book, which in theory concludes the 'Song of Ice and Fire' arc of Got.

Spoiler: Spoilers for GoT

At the end of the fifth book, in theory concluding this huge sweeping saga... *nothing* I mean *NOTHING* is wrapped up or concluded!! It ends on several cliff-hangers!! Then looking back over the course of the past two and a half books you realize that *only one important thing has been resolved in the whole lot*!!! (Cersei's power broken.)

I realize that this was probably a decision from the publishers based on the size of box sets they want to sell, but even so $&@( $%^# #%&& *@%& #$*$$# ^*@~** YOU George RR Martin!!!

You DO realize there are two more books that haven't been published yet, right?? Martin is (hopefully) almost done with The Winds of Winter and then the seventh book will be titled A Dream of Spring and will probably only take him 3-4 years to write.

Yes, what bothered me

Spoiler: spoilers

was that the book that was portrayed as the ending to the 'Song of Ice and Fire' saga didn't resolve *anything* and left us on cliff-hangers. If it's the end of the first big story arc it should resolve at least a couple of things.

Song of Ice and Fire was always supposed to be seven books. Why would anything major be concluded in book five?

Actually it was originally supposed to be a trilogy.

Both of the people I spoke to in the book store and my friend who had read them previously indicated to me that "Song of Ice and Fire" was the first major saga of Westeros, and that while more books were coming they were to be part of a different saga set in Westeros.

{Edit: I should say "Wikipedia says that it was originally planned to be a trilogy."}

The new godzilla had the biggest fuck you I've ever seen in it.

Spoiler: This is technically a small spoiler but honestly, if you havent seen this movie, clicking this should give you a compelling reason as to why you shouldn't

So the bad guy monster (who appears in the movie before Godzilla) shows up and starts smashing stuff. The main character is on a train that it just bit in half. As it's about to decimate more stuff Godzilla shows up for the first time in the whole entire movie. So to reiterate, the bad guy monster we've been watching break shit unapposed for like 20 minutes is here. The main character is here. And after being completely absent for around an hour, Godzilla is finally here. The main character looks out in awe as Godzilla lets out a battle-cry roar as he's about to go at this thing...

...and suddenly it hard cuts to a completely unnecessary shot of the main character's child peacefully sleeping on the couch. That's what's apparently more important in this movie. There's a split second where you can see Godzilla fighting the monster on a news report on the tv, but the mom walks in and turns it off. Have you ever seen one of those children that has a face that just looks annoying? This kid is like that. Granted I hate children to start, but I saw this movie with like 8 other people and that was a pretty unanimous opinion among all of them. So after waiting the whole entire movie to see one thing, you finally catch a quick glimpse of it and then it just hard cuts to that. Oh you care about what happened with Godzilla and the other monster and the main character in the high stakes fight that involved all 3 of them? Who gives a shit. By the next scene we're all done acknowledging that it even happened.

If someone stole my wallet, took 11 dollars and burned it in front of me while screaming insightfully accurate personal insults about my family, I would have considered that a better investment than that movie ticket.

 

[Dalisclock]

I'm still not over the last ten minutes of the last episode of L O S T. It was kinda like when I watched that movie North as a kid (the earliest movie I recall raging over), but with a lot more investment.

Actually, the entire last season of LOST.

Sorry, were you interested in knowing the answers to all the mysteries? Too bad. We're just going to follow Jack and Co. around some more.

 

[Dalisclock]

Evengelion 3.0. Seriously, just look at the last few minutes of Evangelion 2.o and the new movie preview, then look at this movie. What the hell.

For me I'm holding off until I see 4.0. There might be a good payoff that 3.0 was setting up.

Might.

I too had the same fuck you moment, but for different reasons.

They pulled off Oberyn well, but they made the fight swing too hard in his favour. Whilst I admit that it's gonna be hard to recreate the 8 foot monstrosity that is the Mountain in the books, who managed to fight toe to toe with Oberyn despite the fact that he was sporting a war wound and had already been poisoned once in the fight; the Mountain in the show felt severely diluted. Having that severely diluted strongman killing Oberyn felt cheap, because Oberyn had outclassed him until that point. The Cleganes are supposed to be borderline inhuman.

Eh wat? The fith book is obviously not the conclusion of the saga, there are going to be 7 books. Ergo the 7th book will be the conclusion of the series.

 

[Dalisclock]

Actually that character was introduced before the last book in the Dark Tower series.
If you read Stephen King's 'Insomnia' you'll get to find out more about the origin of Patrick Danville. I actually haven't read any of the Dark Tower books, but I've read Insomnia a few times now, and every time I do it does make me want to give that series a go.

I actually got into the Dark Tower because of Insomnia.

Which is one of the reasons the Crimson King is so much of a Disapointment, considering all of the build up he was given in both the preceding books and Insomnia.

Don't get me wrong, the series is still good (though you can skip the middle 90% of book four and miss nothing worth talking about), it's just King apparently decided that he made the Crimson King too forboding and climatic sounding and took steps to remove any level of interest or threat he had once posessed.

For the uninitiated, this a summary of the lead-up to the last alternate ending of a game called Drakengard:
To unlock this ending, you have to collect every weapon available in the game, which number upward of 60. Many of these weapons require you to complete bullshit difficult challenges, run around playing guessing games, exploring every last nook and cranny of the often huge maps, and in some cases, waiting around doing nothing for up to 20 minutes until one spontaneously appears.
After you manage all this, you finally get to fight the boss, and in this hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors type game, the final boss is a bullshit hard rhythm game which requires 100% perfection, or else you have to try again from the start. If you managed to win against that, you earn this:

And Drakengard 3 had something similar as well, which is both better and worse.

It was presented to me that the fifth book would conclude the "Song of Ice and Fire" saga, and that the books coming after would be a new/different story line, set in the same world.
