You Will Cry!!! 2016 Part 2

Here's a list of me poking fun at movies from the later half of 2016. I joked to friends who annoy me and I said back to them I'm going to drag them to the theaters and torture them into seeing these. Sometimes it's because the movie is bad, sometimes to poke fun at the noobish reactions, sometimes it's something else. Enjoy

I'm going to make you watch the new Ghostbusters...

Note- This movie is very controversial for a dozen reasons. If you like the movie, that's fine. You don't like the movie, that's fine, it's your opinion. Some people hate it because it's not the Ghostbusters 3 that people wanted over the decades. Some say it ruins the original movie. People mention the trailer is full of unfunny jokes. Some hate it because it's a cast full of females. People say that SJWs are running the movie and don't care about the actual quality of the movie. Some defend it because it's a cast of females and those who attack it are misogynist. Others don't care if the leads are female or not, a bad movie is simply a bad movie, regardless what the gender of the main cast is.

I really don't care. I barely remember when I saw the original movie when I was young and I have little to no interest in this one. All I know is this movie started a war all over the internet.

I'm fine with females having bigger roles in movies but if it's bad, it's simply a bad movie and I'm not going to defend just because who the main cast is. I don't hate Legend of Chun-Li because the lead is female, I don't like it because it's a boring movie that does the dark and gritty reboot all wrong and it barely resembles the game everyone loves.

Here's the trailer if anyone wants to see

1. You will Cry...That's it's a fast paced mindless action movie that sings to Beastie Boys' Sabotage. Well according to the 1st trailer.

2. That Sulu is gay.

3. That they are ripping off of Doctor Who...Seriously the joke of modern pop in the distance future being called "classical music" been done before. It's bad enough the Borg are ripoffs of the Cybermen. For shame Star Trek..For shame.

Note#1- The very 1st trailer looked very Un-Star Trek. It was widely hated by everyone. The actors in the movies say they didn't like the trailer either and said the movie is nothing like the trailer. Later trailers aired and didn't play like anything like the 1st one.

Fears completed faded once fans actually saw the movie in theaters.

Note#2- George Takei, the actor that played Sulu in the original series is gay. There been jokes over the years that Sulu is gay like the actor.

The new movie had him met up with his husband and daughter in one scene. 

George Takei wasn't happy and said that the creator of the franchise has never envision Sulu as gay. He said he rather have a new character to be gay rather than rewriting a pre-existing character. However the Sulu in the original universe is still straight, he's only gay in the new movies' universe.

Note#3- The song Sabotage was heard within the movie and the crew called it "Classical music". Doctor Who did it a joke several times. In the year 5 Billion, they called Britney Spears' Toxic as classical. Even in the Black and White era of Doctor Who, someone from centuries later called the Beatles music as classical.

Here's the 1st trailer if anyone wants to see

1. You will cry...That Will Smith had sex with Harley. Oh boy, Joker is going to be jealous.

2. That they killed off Slipknot.

Man, he was the best character in the movie. Why they kill him off.

3. That you barely saw Batman or the Flash.

4. Trying to figure out who is Incubus.

5. Joker is not the main villain/that he didn't have enough screentime/that he wasn't good enough

Note#1- Will Smith's character having sex with Harley is kinda true....but from a different movie. I only said that to my friends to tricking them thinking I was referring to the live-action one. There is an animated Suicide Squad movie that came out a few years before the actual live-action movie. The animated movie was a sort-of tie-in to the Batman Arkham games.

If you like, or hated the live-action movie. I still recommend this animated one. For those disappointed on the minimal screentime of both Batman and Joker, don't worry, they have a ton more.

Note#2- Soon they got the gang together, they introduce a guy called Slipknot. They say "He can climb anything." A few minutes later, one of the members of the squad told him that the bomb in his head is a fake. Slipknot automatically believes him and runs away, however the military in control of the squad activated his headbomb and he dies.

Slipknot is nothing more than a throwaway character to show how these bombs in their heads are real. Even in the comics, Slipknot is a minor forgettable character, so killing him off is no big deal.

However I do play up like he could of been the greatest character in the movie. If you didn't like Suicide Squad, I joke, "Well he could of been the one character that made the movie worth watching." I google some jokes of this guy and the internet jokes like he could take an army of Supermans.


Note#3- Well Batman and the Flash were nothing but cameos. Go watch Justice League if you want to see more of them. At least Flash's cameo isn't confusing like his unexplained time-travel visit to Bruce in Batman V Superman.

Note#4- I explain this in my other article, "DCEU's love for obscured characters." Incubus is obscurer than obscured. In all of the comics made by DC in all these decades, he only made 6 appearances ever. Even the most hardcore of hardcore DC fans didn't know who Incubus is.

Note#5- Well one of the most in anticipated things about the upcoming Suicide Squad movie was Joker being played by the famous singer, pretty boy, oscar winning actor known as Jared Leto. People wonder how he would hold up compare to Heath Ledger's famous take on the Joker.

He was featured in alot of trailers. Most people also thought the Joker would be the main villain in the actual movie but it was Enchantress and her bro. Aside from Harley Quinn's flashbacks of him, he only played a small part in the movie. The actor actually complain about about most of his scenes got cut, however even with extended cut released on DVD, he still had a small role in the movie.

Some people's opinions differ about the Joker. Some say he's great, some say he's terrible. Others said it doesn't matter because he didn't have enough screentime to left an impact.

Here's the trailer

I'm going to make you watch Max Steel. You will cry...when you see Max...is not a secret agent.


Note- In the 2000s there was a show called Max Steel. He was a extreme sports star/college kid who had a secret life as a nanobot-infused secret agent.

A decade later, the show was rebooted and aired on Disney XD. I only knew about it when I was channel surfing one day. I saw like 3 minutes of it. Max was different because he had a alien robot that fused with him as some sort of power armor during battle.

When trailer of the movie adaption came out, people of coursed complained. Saying it's unfaithful adaptation because it doesn't resemble the show they grew up with. Little did they know that the movie is based on the reboot they never heard of and not the original. I really don't care about the movie, I heard it wasn't good.

Here's the trailer

You will cry...That you barely saw or didn't notice that Johnny Depp or Ron Perlman were in the movie.

Note- It's uhh...The best I can come up with. Sorry readers but I'm not a hardcore Harry Potter fan. All I know is these two popular actors were barely in the movie.

Here's the trailer

I'm going to make you watch Star Wars: Rouge One...You will cry...That Kyle Katarn isn't in the movie.

Man, nobody came to see this to see these nobodies.

This is the guy that everyone wanted to see. So where is he?

You tell him Batman.

Note- The very 1st Star Wars movie's opening crawl said that Rebel spies have stolen the plans of the Death Star and gave them to Leia. This leads to the beginning of the movie of that flim.

The theft of the Death Star plans is an untold story that happen behind the scenes. At one point, there was a video game in the 90s called Dark Forces.

It was a Doom-clone with a Star Wars setting. The 1st mission for the game is Kyle Katarn is sent to steal the plans of the Death Star. Later missions happen some time after Episode 4 where he fights Dark Troopers. There been sequels where Kyle becomes a Jedi. Kyle Katarn wasn't exclusive to the games themselves, he appeared in novels, comics, etc. He was a member of Luke's Jedi Order and a major player in these events.

Then one day in 2012, George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney. Disney wanted to make new movies within a few years. However, there was a ton of stories that took place after Return of the Jedi. There be no way it would fit in it's timeline. So Disney decided that the entire Extended Universe(Every story outside of the 6 movies at the time and the TV show, Clone Wars), was wiped away and rebranded as Legends.

So the original timeline(that's outside of the movies) that was established was put into an alternate timeline while everything new be put into this brand new timeline.

When news that Rouge One is going to be the theft of the Death Star plans, people hope that Rouge One is a adaption of the classic video game.

Some fans were clinging to hope that the characters above were Kyle and his love interest, Jan Ors. The main heroine, Jyn Erso does sound similar to Jan Ors.

A month before the trailer of the movie came out, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is a fan favorite from the original timeline, was now appearing in the TV show called Rebels. So if Thrawn is canon again, why not Kyle? However it was not the case. Rouge One is simply an original story that happens to be about the theft of the Death Star plans that happens behind the scenes before Episode 4.

Here's the trailer

1. You will cry...That the present day is the main focus and not Spanish Inquisition.

2. That it's not an adaptation and it's in the same canon of the games and that means you spoiled yourself of some Assassin's Creed game you have yet to play.

3. That Ezio Auditore da Firenze could of easily been in the movie but instead you get Arno from the glitchy AC game for a cameo.

4. That some characters from the AC games only had a cameo in a deleted scene.



Note#1- One problem of the movie is most of the movie is set in the present. The games story is a man gets hooked up to a machine to see his ancestors memories. Most of the present day events happens at the beginning and end of the game as well some minor breaks in the middle of the game after you complete a major story event. Majority of the games takes place in the past where you explore his ancestors and visit the Holy Land during the Crusades, Renaissance Italy, Colonial America, Caribbean in the age of pirates, etc.

Only a few scenes here and there are during the Spanish Inquisition while most of the movie focus on modern day. Can you imagine if the 90% of a game that focus on Desmond rather than his ancestors, fans would not be happy.


Note#2- I swear, I honesty thought this movie was an adaption of the games and this was an original story separate from the games. I only found out after I saw the movie that this is in the same timeline as the games. I didn't had an PS4 for the longest time, so I didn't play on any of the AC games that wasn't available on the PS3. For all I known, Jeremy Irons and his daughter may of referenced some event that happened to the Assassins in the Victorian England game or say that the recurring characters in present era, Rebecca and Shaun got killed or something.

Note#3- The games let you play an Assassin from different eras in history. The most popular character in the entire series is Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Assassin's Creed 1 may of started the series but the one that kicked the series in high popularly was the 2nd game. Ezio was so popular that he got 2 more games about him, well more like the star of three major games. Ezio did have a lesser known 4th game that's actually important to explain why he could of been in the movie. There's the main games, and then there's the lesser known games. The lesser known games are on portable or cell phones. You can easily ignore those games and stick to main series without worrying what happens in those games.

There is a game on Nintendo DS called Assassin's Creed: Discovery. From what I heard, Ezio did visit Spain in 1492 during the Spain Inquisition and met up with Columbus. He could easily been in the movie.

And yet Arno, the guy from the infamous game called Unity makes a cameo. The game that started with hundreds of bugs. Sorry Ezio.

Note#4- There is a deleted scene where the main character looks at the prison inmates and they started to look like their ancestors. These ancestors are actual characters from the previous games.
Here's the deleted scene if you want to watch.

Here's the trailer if you want to watch

You will cry!!! 2016 Part 1

Here's a list of me poking fun at movies from 2016. I joked to friends who annoy me and I said back to them I'm going to drag them to the theaters and torture them into seeing these. Sometimes it's because the movie is bad, sometimes to poke fun at the noobish reactions, sometimes it's something else. Enjoy

No it's not an actual Valentine's movie.

But what are you talking about Chris. Look at this Banner. Check it.

I don't know who's hotter. Me or her. 

Anyways, it was a movie that simply aired near Valentine's Day that did had a romance subplot.

1.You will cry...when you see... Ryan Reynold's butt. Great, it's bad enough I had to see Hugh Jackman's in the other X-Men movies.

Now what's wrong with my butt. You know my fans want to see it.

You know my viewers on a piece of this.

2.That he killed Mario.
He deserved it.
Oh by the way viewers, he's not talking about a certain video game mascot.

3.Trying to figure out who the heck is Negasonic Teenage Warhead is
Let me guess, is she going to be on "Love for obscured characters" articles.
I doubt it.

4.That you took your kid to the movie. What!? You didn't see it's rated R. Shame on you.
Yeah, shame on you.



Let me guess, Chris is going to write his notes section like he does in all his You Will Cry articles.

Note#1-If you seen my other You Will Cry articles I did a running joke about Hugh Jackman's butt showing up alot. Now Ryan is doing it.

Yeah, Hugh is a nice guy but I didn't like his character's origin movie sewed my fudging mouth shut. Hey Chris, why I'm saying fudge instead of the other f-word?
Not on my blog.

Note#2- There was an April Fools joke that Mario Lopez was interviewing Ryan Reynolds and they are discussing that the movie is rated PG-13. Out of nowhere, Deadpool kills him.

Check out my drawing I did after I smash his head. Don't worry Jessie, Slater won't mess with you anymore.

Note#3-Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a very obscured character. The people behind the Deadpool movie like the name of the character so much, that they made her as one of the main characters of that movie.

No kidding. That's coolest name ever.

Note#4- There are parents out there thinking this movie should be for kids since he is a costumed hero. They tried to asked the studio to make a PG-13 version. It didn't work

Well see ya Chris. Good luck with the rest of the article. Oh by way, I heard in one of your Dodgeball Universe stories that you killed off a knockoff of my DC comic counterpart in that Magic Mike parody. It's funny that he's undercover as a male stripper.

Here's the trailer of the movie if you want to see

You will cry...That's it's full of white people. Since when were the ancient Egyptians looked this white.

Note-This movie is very controversial due to the lack of Egyptian actors.

I'm surprised no one complain about Brendan Fraser's Mummy.

Here's the trailer if anyone wants to see

1. Oh great. It's going to be bad as the other one.

2. You will cry...That it's not connected to the other Cloverfield.

*Warning Major Spoilers!! Skip to the next entry.*

3.That you don't see the aliens till the last 10 minutes.



Note#1-My opinion on this movie is greatly different compare to the original Cloverfield. I have mention on the "Another Prequel" on the "You Will Cry" series about the original one. 15 long minutes of watching kids getting drunk and worry about relationship drama with no build up of the actual monster. It can set people off.

The 2nd Cloverfield isn't about a Kaiju(Giant Monster) attacking a city. It's about a woman who got abducted and imprisoned in a cellar.


Note#2- It's not a sequel/prequel/sidequel to the other Cloverfield, it takes place in a different universe. However it does have some minor connections. Cloverfield woke up because a satellite fell on his head. John Goodman said he works on satellites and he is part of the same company that the jealous loverboy who got a job in Japan. The two different Cloverfields do have similar mythos.


Note#3-*Spoiler warning* When I saw the last 10 minutes, I joked, "Yep, it's a Cloverfield movie. You don't see the aliens till after waiting a long hour." However the movie isn't about the main character fighting aliens. It's about escaping the cellar. John Goodman imprisoned her to protect her from whatever is attacking. He was kinda right but he is a monster that isn't safe to be around.


Here's the trailer

1. Seriously, them fighting? That's the stupidest concept ever. Is Hollywood trying to be lazy and make a movie like Freddy vs Jason. Also Batman would die easily if he fought him.


2. That Ben Affleck is cast as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Seriously, Ben Affleck is a terrible choice. I mean voice sounds nothing like Christian Bale. It's not funny enough. Imagine this line done by Bale shouting.
He has the power to wipe out the entire human race, and if we believe there's even a one percent chance that he is out enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty... and we have to destroy him.

3. Jesse Eiserburg as Lex Luthor.

And we're not saying that because he's the only one in the pic with hair

4. That Batman kills.

5. That Batman and Superman suddenly stop fighting and become friends, simply because their mothers have the same name.

Even Deadpool did a parody of that scene while fighting the Punisher.

6. That Jimmy Olsen dies

7. Seeing the Death of Batman's parents for the 8345th time. This is annoying why we have to see his parents dies again. This is ..*Sees the parents are Negan and Maggie from the Walking Dead* LOL You know what, I forgive this.



Note#1- This is a complaint from casual viewers. Those whose only familiar with the old movies.

If you look at the history of Batman and Superman, they butted heads before. There is a famous story in the 80s called, The Dark Knight Returns(It got an animated adaptaion as well). Superman been tasked by the government to bring down Batman. However Batman prep himself to fight Superman and he was actually a match against the Man of Steel. Batman is one of the few members of the Justice League that has no powers but he has looked up every member's weakness and set up plans if any of them go rouge.

Note#2- When news of Ben Affleck was cast as Batman. The internet went into fan rage. Most people remember him played another costume vigilante, Daredevil. Not many people liked the movie. However when Batman v Superman was out. Complains died down and many people who bash Affleck all of sudden praised him. History repeats itself.

Note#3- Lex Luthor is suppose to be a smart, calm, calculating evil multi-billionaire business man. Jesse Eisenburg's version is goofy and crazy. It's like a mix of the Riddler and Joker with the name of Lex Luthor. So why are people's opinions of Micheal Keaton, Heath Ledger, Anne Hathaway, and Ben Affleck changed once they saw the final product but not Jesse Eisenburg? Simple, he's a Superman character, not a Batman character. :p

Note#4- Batman brands criminals to put them in the death chair. He was also willing to kill Superman. Most versions of Batman supposed to have this do not kill rule. The director based this Batman from Dark Knight Returns and complete misinterpreted some scenes in the comics and think he kills people.

However there were time Batman over the years in movies where he broke the rule. Micheal Keaton's Batman shove bombs into baddies belts while Christian Bale said, "I won't have to kill you but that doesn't mean I have save you."

Note#5- This is one moment of the entire movie that the entire internet makes fun of. Batman and Superman stop fighting because they found out their mothers have the same name.

Really, Batman saw Superman as a monster and was about to kill him when Superman mentions he needs to save his mother, Martha. Batman came to a realization that Superman is like a regular guy who grew up with a family who he cares for and not some world destroying alien.

Note#6. The 1st few minutes of the movie introduces Jimmy Olsen who is normally a photographer that works at the same job as Clark and Lois. They carelessly kill him off shortly right after because the makers wanted to shock the viewers and say he has no place in the movie.

Note#7. You seen one Batman origin story, you seen them all. It gets retold over and over in every version. Be happy that Captian America: Civil War didn't re-re-re-re-retold you the death of Spider-Man's Uncle Ben. The death of Bruce's parent in BvS is kinda funny because these two actors ended up on opposite sides on Walking Dead.

Here's the trailer

You will cry...when you see...that Elsa from Frozen is evil.


Note- Well Elsa is loosely based of a fairytale called the Snow Queen and she isn't the nicest person to be around. Alot of Disney animated movies do make alot changes from it's source material and that are far far more darker.

Here's the trailer

1. You will cry... that good guys are fighting each other.

2. I'm going to spoil who dies in the movie...it's Peggy Carter.



Note#1- a complaint from casual viewers. Even good guys will have strong disagreements that will make each other fight. The story is somewhat loosely based on a storyline in the Marvel comics.

Note#2- I wouldn't consider the death of Peggy Carter an actual spoiler. She was Captain America's love interest during WWII. His body was frozen at the end of the war and wasn't found till the early 2010s. When he woke up, his love interest was a 90 year old woman.

Here's the trailer

I'm going to make you watch Angry Birds.


Note- Title says it all. It surprised people there's is an actual Angry Birds movie.

Here's the trailer

1. You will cry that this movie is against women.

See, the billboard has a man choking a woman.

2. That the villain is God himself as well as Hindu gods.




Note#1- The billboard has stir up controversy and people complain, saying this movie promote violence towards women. Ok, the main villain is this powerful mutant who sees himself as a god who should destroy to world to rebuild it in his image. People will oppose him, including Mystique. You think an evil mutant with a god complex is going to be nice simply because she's a woman.

Note#2- Apocalypse was one of the earliest mutants in recorded history and one of the most powerful. He was basically a god to normal human. He could build a pyramid in seconds with his mind.

In some trailers he said he was referred to as Ra, Krishna, Yahweh, and several more. He mentions several ancient Hebrew names for God. I'm sure that several Christians/Jews and Hinduists weren't happy.

However he was declared a false god from ancient Egyptians and current times.

I have heard Apocalypse in comics was seen as several gods throughout history, however I don't think any of them were God or anyone from Hinduism.

Here's the trailer

You will cry...that the entire human cast has been replaced except for Megan Fox and Will Arnett. The two who we don't want to see.


Note- Megan Fox as April was not a popular choice. I actually didn't mind Will Arnett in the 2nd movie because he seem more like Vernon was in the original cartoon than he did in the 1st movie. In the 1st one, he was more a Casey-lite love-interest for April rather than a coward who likes to hog the spotlight and brags(and lie) how great he is.

It is true that the 90% percent human cast did greatly get replaced. However it's not a huge deal for many reasons.

1. In the 1st movie, Shredder was originally meant to be a white dude in a business suit but quickly recast at the last minute during reshoots due to fans complaining about a whitewashed Shredder. Eric Sacks was now an underling of the Japanese Shredder. However this led to alot of last minute rewrites.
Since we got a new movie built with a fresh start, there's no need for a white Shredder or last-minute casting Shredder.

2. Karai does have a very small role in 1st movie as the Shredder's 2nd-in-command and she didn't have a big impact. Same can be said for the 2nd one. I don't think anyone is going to notice and make a big deal about the change of casting.

3. You barely notice Baxter was in the 1st movie at all. His name is in the credits but you don't see him. I guessing he did had a bigger role before the reshoots of switching the Shredders and most of Eric Sacks screentime took over what was meant for Baxter.

If anything, I don't think anyone is going to complain about the change of actors for someone you didn't notice.

This is the best pic I can find of Baxter in the 2014 movie.

Here's the trailer

Star Trek Movies and it's..maybe love for obscured characters...or not.

Warning!!! There will be spoilers.

After writing my previous entry about the DC Extended Universe using lesser-known characters as main villains in their recent films, I started to remember a Star Trek movie that came out a few years ago. Star Trek Into Darkness.

There was a villain named John Harrison.

However it was revealed that John Harrison was an alias to hide his true identity. He is the iconic villain known as Khan Noonien Singh.

It be funny if the upcoming Justice League movie has this scene.

"Steppenwolf was a fiction created the moment I was awoken by your Lex Luthor Jr to advance his cause. A smokescreen to hide my identity. My name is...Darkseid."

However Steppenwolf is an actual pre-existing character the DC lore. Sorry DC fans but your getting a lesser known villain.

Anyways, Khan's history is that he was a genetically engineered human who conquers a 3rd of the world in the mid-1990s. You guys remember when that happen, right? I guess back in the 60s, the writers didn't know the franchise be going on for decades.

Khan, along with other genetically engineered humans were captured and put in cryo freeze and thrown into space. The original series had the Enterprise crew found Khan and he try to take over the ship.

A decade and a half later, Star Trek started making movies and one had them fighting Khan again.

All the Star Trek movies from 2009 and onwards takes place in a alternate universe separate from the other Star Trek. Just like how Mortal Kombat 9 aka MK 2011 started with Raiden sending a message back in time created a different timeline. Star Trek Into Darkness was a sort of somewhat retelling of the classic movie, The Wrath of Khan. Even Spock's death got rehash with Kirk in his place.(He came back from the dead less than 10 minutes.)


There were rumors circling around about who the mysterious John Harrison was. Alot of people had a feeling that Harrison really was Khan long before the movie was out. When I heard the rumors that he was Khan, seeing he's a patsy white dude and not a white Mexican pretending to be Indian/an actual Indian. I figure he got surgery to hide his identity. The guy was the Hitler or Neapolitan of the 1990s and anyone can easily spot him. 

For the longest time, I honesty believe the main villain was going to be some dude named Gary Mitchell.

A quick search through Google showed me a generic Starfleet officer. Like I can remember him.

Farther research told me he was from the 2nd pilot episode.(The one with Kirk as captain of the ship, not Pike.) He was best buds with Kirk but the ship got hit by a force force that made him into a godlike being. He was becoming a major threat to the crew. It came to the point Kirk had to fight and kill him.

At the time that I believe he was the main baddie, it seems like a weird and obscured choice but then again, the original series didn't exactly have a large rogues gallery.

Another thing I should add is that there was a blond female on the episode and Gary turn her into his side. Look at her.

Yeah, they look alike. If you believe the rumors that Cumberbatch is playing Gary Mitchell, it wouldn't be hard to believe this blond girl is going to be same from the 2nd pilot episode.

However, it was reveal that the girl is Carol Marcus. She was in the other Khan movie and she was Kirk's baby mama.

Both Khan and Gary Mitchell were the top guesses for who is John Harrison. There were a few others.

One was Garth of Izar

He was a fallen starship captain that was sent to an asylum. He took over the place with his mental powers. He got defeated at the end of the episode.

Another one was Colonel Green.

There was a episode where aliens bring heroes and villains from different periods of time and make them combat each other. Some were actual people in history like Abraham Lincoln and Genghis Khan. The rest were made up that were given a vague descriptions of their histories. Surak and Kahless were introduced the very first time in this episode that became major figures in the Vulcan and Klingon mythos that the later series explored. One was guy called Colonel Green who led a genocidal war. He wasn't seen again in Star Trek until very very late in the show Enterprise where he killed off a butch of mutated humans to kept the world pure.

However all these theories of who John Harrison is some obscured choices. They should chose a well known villain, like Khan Noonian Singh. Which they did.

However, the thing about Khan is if you ignore the 1982 movie, Khan is obscured as any of the others. He was simply a villain of the week. In some sort of way, the 2nd movie chose an obscured villain.

If it wasn't for that movie, the chances of Khan being the main villain in the 12th film would be on even ground with the rest of the obscure choices. However Khan was one of the more popular villains. He was played a popular actor and he was his backstory did show some background on what happen to Earth before the events of Star Trek.

The original Star Trek show had a very small rouges gallery. They only had the Klingons and the Romulans. The only recurring villain as a single character that they have was some dude named Harry Mudd and he was a comical thief that keeps running into the Enterprise.

Star Trek back then and most of it's later shows normally had villains of the week. The later shows did had a bigger display of recurring villains in the later shows like Q, the Borg Queen, Lore, Sela, Gul Dukat, Female Changling. Heck, the Duras sisters(a family that tries to dishonor Worf's family) were actual villains in the 1st Next Generation film but they played 2nd fiddle the original made for movie villain, Soran.

However the thing is that Star Trek isn't like your typical film that's based on a comic that chooses from the line of the most popular villains the hero has faced. Most of the ST movies have villains that are original and even if Kirk is fighting the Klingons again, it's going to be a different one usually.

DC Extended Universe and it's love for obscure characters.

I thought I was done with my ".... and it's love for obscured characters" series last year but I have notice that DC Extended Universe is now have a habit of having obscured characters as main villains.

DC Extended Universe(DCEU) is list of films that connected to one another. Basically, they are trying to copy off of Marvel's Cinematic Universe(MCU). The MCU had many copycats that failed, Amazing Spider-Man series tried to create a universe but failed by putting to many storylines in it's 2nd movie. DC tried to make Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern the start of a cinematic universe but they abandon it.

Enough talking about other universes, I should discuss the DCEU and it's bizarre usage of obscured characters as the main villains.

The 1st movie that came out was Man of Steel. The main villain was General Zod.

So far, DCEU didn't have obscured villains yet. He was in alot Superman media and this Kryptonian criminal was also the main villain in the 2nd Christopher Reeves movie.

The next movie was Batman v Superman. (v? Why not vs?) The main villain is the calm collective evil multi-millionaire businessman, Lex Luthor.

*Scratches head* Wait...This can't be Lex Luthor. He's too loony and wacky to be this cool intelligent evil business dude. Are you sure this isn't suppose to be the Riddler or Joker without the make up? Well anyways, he is suppose to be Lex Luthor. Some people say that he's not the real Lex Luthor and that he is really Lex Luthor Jr.

Anyways, Lex Luthor is Superman's arch-nemesis. So far he is not obscured.

The climax at Batman v Superman did give us another villain.

This is Doomsday. This behemoth is best known for killing Superman in the early 90s(More like putting him into a coma and the Man of Steel slowly heal in his sleep while the rest of the world believe Sups was dead) The Death of Superman story sent shockwaves around the world at the time and I'm sure most people read the story saw the one who killed him.

I know this article suppose to be about obscure villains but at the time, the DCEU was using villains you at least suspect. Even if the viewers were surprised Doomsday appeared, he wasn't some obscured villain. Shortly after this, this is when things get weird on the choice of villains.

A deleted scene on showed after the movie was put in theaters. He was behind the scenes during the events of Batman v Superman. I get this obscured guy later in the article when I discuss Justice League.


The main villain for Suicide Squad is not Joker.

He was feature in alot trailers and everyone was wondering how this popular singer/oscar-winning actor can hold up to Heath Ledger. When the movie came out, he was barley in it. He was mostly showed in Harley Quinn's flashbacks. In present day, he briefly helped Harley escape from the Suicide Squad but she quickly return to the group once Joker's helicopter exploded right after he rescued her.(He survived)

Jared Leto has complain that alot of his material was cut from the movie. A extended version was release on DVD but he still wasn't anywhere near being the main focus of the movie.

The actual main villain for Suicide Squad is the Enchantress. A woman possessed by an ancient spirit. She is lesser known character. She had several appearances with the squad a few times over the years in the comics.

The other main villain of Suicide Squad is Enchantress' bro, Incubus. Incubus is obscurer than obscured. In the total of every DC comic ever publish, Incubus made 6 appearances ever. Extremely weird choice to make one of the main villains of the movie.

Edit: Now I actually seen Wonder Woman. The villain is Ares. The god of war as the villain is not a bad choice and kinda what you least suspect. When I wrote this article originally, the Justice League villain was foreshadowed and I knew who it was for a while long before I actually watched Wonder Woman.

Now on to Justice League. There is a deleted scene on Batman v Superman. It showed Lex communicating with a mysterious being.

Well this guy is going the main villain of the upcoming Justice League movie. Who is he? It's Steppenwolf.

Like you guys, I said, "Huh!? What!? Who!?"

From what I looked up, he is one of Darkseid's generals. He's also his uncle.

I should fill in for the people who are unaware of Darkseid.

Darkseid is the lord of the planet of Apokoplis. A world is basically hell. This dude is a big deal for our heroes. When the League sees him, they're all like "Aww Crap!!" Superman stops holding back and go all out to try to take this guy down. Batman at one point had to break his one rule and actually use a gun to kill this man. That explains how big a serious threat this guy is. Think the DC version of Thanos.

However, Steppenwolf is just an odd choice for being a main villain of a movie. I don't remember every single person that work under Darkseid. I kinda remember a few like Granny Goodness or Kalibak but even they replace Steppenwolf, I still can't see them as the main villain for a movie.

I guess they want to save Darkseid for a later movie. I rather they go straight to Darkseid or some other big threat.

We may get to more well known villains in the future but so far, we been getting some lesser known villains recently. 

This line from Lego Batman sums up what viewers are thinking when they saw these films and these unknown villains.

"Are you making some of them up"

"Nope, they're all real. Properly worth the Google."

-Airplane pilot and Joker after hearing Joker has an army of criminals, including the weird bizarre forgotten obscured ones.
