Worst Comic Book Movie Twists, Ranked. For better or worse, the world of cinema is caught in the superhero hype of comic book movies. While horror is still alive and kicking, there is no doubt that superheroes and villain rule the roost at the box office, but what makes these movies so popular? A mix of action, emotion, and good a story arc are all the key ingredients of your comic book caper, but it also seems that audiences love a puzzler that even the likes of Riddler couldn’t deliver. While the average comic book movie isn’t packed with the twists and turns of a Saw film or some gritty Scorsese gangster flick, there are still a fair few surprises to keep viewers on their toes. Some of the very best (and worst) comic book movies have had some pretty memorable shockers in their runtime. From Michael Keaton’s extended Vulture family in Spider- Man: Homecoming to Joker’s cell phone bomb in The Dark Knight, the comic book movie obsession has always kept moviegoers entertained. However, for every reveal of the Vulture’s family life, we have had a blundering Batgirl, a lame Logan, and an evil Ego.

With that in mind, light up the Bat- Signal, because here are the 1. Worst Comic Book Movie Twists. X- 2. 4 Is Hugh Jackman. It might be a struggle to find many flaws with this year’s Logan, but among stellar performances, a noir tale, and a moving finale for Hugh Jackman, there were a few ball drops – in particular, that annoying X- 2. Logan already showcased Laura Kinney’s skills as X- 2. Earth was coming with X- 2. It was one of those rare moments that comic books were no use, and even Jackman was rightly skeptical about the X- 2.

There were high hopes for some hidden cameo of an A- list celebrity or even chances that Mister Sinister would be making his big screen debut, but alas, Logan gave us Hugh Jackman… again. X- 2. 4 was a souped- up version of the character that had been a part of 1. X- Men movies; basically all James Mangold did was shave Hugh Jackman’s head. Admittedly, it did give the great payoff of Charles Xavier’s harrowing last scene, but die- hard Marvel fans were expecting something new.

Loki Is Odin. As the lowest- rated MCU film, things were already on the ropes for 2. Thor: The Dark World, but 1. Alan Taylor delivered one of the worst twists to grace comic book movies. As Thor turns down his claim to the realms of Asgard, Anthony Hopkins resumes his seat as Odin on the throne – or so we thought.

With a change to the music, hearts leaped, and it was revealed that the eye- patched ruler was actually Loki in disguise. None of that would be particularly infuriating if Taylor hadn’t just killed Loki off in a dramatic battle scene, as he sacrificed himself to help Thor defeat Malekith. The “Loki is Odin” twist may have worked a little better if it wasn’t a rehash of what the trickster did to Selvig in the first film. While it still means that Loki is alive and well to give us appearances in Thor: Ragnarokand Infinity War, it also robbed Tom Hiddleston of his noble death. Questions of how Loki faked his death and Odin’s disappearance will certainly be addressed in Ragnarok, but there is no denying that we were… low- key… annoyed with this little twist. Obadiah Stane Is The Villain.

Jeff Bridges may have brought his booming bravado to the start of the MCU in Iron Man all those years ago, but was anyone really surprised to learn that Obadiah Stane was the bad guy? The unscrupulous Stane had been selling Stark tech to the terrorists and conveniently orchestrated an attack on Tony. Little did Stane know, the technological whizz- kid would save his own life and create the Iron Man suit. It didn’t take long for Stane’s true colors to show and him to take on the Iron Monger persona. You didn’t need to read the Marvel comic books to realize that the brooding close- ups and tense music were queuing Stane up to be this movie’s big bald bad guy. It was the classic trope of vengeful businessman annoyed by young upstart taking what he is owed. It has been done before with the likes of Batman, and why would Iron Man be any different?

Alongside Blofeld, Dr. Evil, and Lex Luthor, most would agree that the villainous bald head was what gave it away here. Silverfox Works for Stryker. Giving us the “origins” of James Howlett’s Logan, Gavin Hood’s Wolverine film was largely held up by Hugh Jackman once against grunting and slashing his way through a whole host of dead- wood performances.

• So there’s never going to be a Hüsker Dü reunion after all. Grant Hart is dead. Hart was a drummer for the ’80s Minneapolis trio that was the Our Band Could Be.

A reader sent us the link to this particular site, the one that claims to be part of Edmunds so that’s the one we’ll focus on now, but remember, there’s more of. This is Part 2 of a four-part series on Elon Musk’s companies. For an explanation of why this series is happening and how Musk is involved, start with Part 1.

Kayla Silverfox’s power was tactical hypnosis to convince Wolverine that she had been slaughtered by Sabretooth – enter sibling rivalry once more. The truth was unfortunately even worse, and Silverfox was later revealed to be working under the eye of William Stryker. Claiming that she really did love Logan, Kayla was blackmailed into being a mole because Stryker had her sister at his mutant- packed facility on Three Mile Island. All of this set up Kayla’s ultimate redemption, and viewers watched her sacrifice to save Wolverine in a story arc that was almost as signposted as her happy homemaker facade. The Stryker twist tried to add more depth to Lynn Collins’ forgettable love interest, but fans were more interested in the possible inclusion of Emma Frost as Kayla’s sister – it wasn’t her, by the way. Dorian Gray Is Evil.

Sadly, there wasn’t much “extraordinary” about the big screen adaptation of Alan Moore’s acclaimed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel series. Watch Mabel`S New Hero Streaming there. A huge budget, an aged Sean Connery, and less- than- favorable reviews sank what was supposed to be an expanded horror universe long before Universal made its own attempt. However, some may find The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen a vastly underrated piece of cinema, and while some performances were a little schlocky, it was a jolly good romp through the Victorian era. A brave move away from the graphic novel series saw the character of Dorian Gray promoted from side character to full- blown rapscallion.

After much teasing that Jason Statham’s Invisible Man was the mole within the ranks of the League, Dorian was exposed as a villain. When you have to reveal the twist through a variety of chopped together cut scenes, is it really that good of a twist? Perhaps audiences would’ve been more surprised if Stuart Townsend hadn’t played Dorian to within an inch of his life. As soon as Townsend raised so much as an eyebrow during his introduction, most were probably shouting, “He’s a mole” at the screen. Harry Osborn Becomes Green Goblin (Again)There is no denying that Sam Raimi certainly put his own stamp on Marvel’s Spider- Man. Across three films, the Raimiverse gave comic book fans (probably) the most memorable outings ever for Peter Parker.

However, even Raimi couldn’t resist a lame duck of a twist. While Willem Dafoe was incredible as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin – apart from that stolen Power Rangers villain suit – James Franco’s tenure as the Goblin wasn’t quite as memorable. When realizing that the Green Goblin was actually the main villain across the entire Raimiverse, it isn’t really fair on the rest of the rogues. Yes, he is probably the most memorable Spider- Man foe, but talk about overkill. Watch Without A Paddle: Nature`S Calling Online Full Movie.

However, Harry being the Goblin was bad enough without his own convoluted origin story (twice). After that head- spinning glider chase in Spider- Man 3 and Harry “losing” his memory, even a deceased Uncle Ben was able to figure out that Harry’s amnesia would only be temporary. After some brief bliss, Harry then regained his memories and went to continue his father’s legacy. It could always be worse, though; it could’ve been the Dane De.

Hann version of the character. Barbara Wilson Is Batgirl. Watch Alicia Silverstone stick on some spandex and ruin one of the best female comic book characters in history. Joel Schumacher may have driven the Batman franchise into hibernation, but it is hard to deny that the director had big plans for a continuing Batverse.

Grant Hart, 1. 96. So there’s never going to be a Hüsker Dü reunion after all. Grant Hart is dead. Hart was a drummer for the ’8. Minneapolis trio that was the Our Band Could Be Your Life band to beat all other Our Band Could Be Your Life bands’ asses.

Their meld of pop melody and punk guitar thrash with angry vocals got lots of angsty males to clench their fists. Hart shared songwriting and shrieking duties with guitarist Bob Mould, with Greg Norton the steady but largely ignored bassist completing the lineup. Hart, who took awful care of himself for decades and looked like it, died last night of cancer. He was 5. 6. Hüsker Dü never got big commercially—they never charted an album or released anything close to a radio hit, despite peeving the punks by taking a major label record deal with Warner Brothers and guesting on. The Joan Rivers Show in early 1. But a massive percentage of folks who knew of ’em loved ’em. Hart got less attention than Mould, surely in part because at the live shows, Hart had to scream from behind a drum kit while Mould was up front, stomping around with his Ibanez Flying V copy (not a Gibson!) slung low.

The rivalry between Hart and Mould, which by the end had them alternating songs on album track listings and concert setlists in an obvious “one- for- me, one- for- you” scheme, was likely key to the band’s prolificness and greatness. And though Hüsker Dü’s fans were too enamored with both Hart and Mould to choose sides, the breach surely caused the combo’s collapse at the end of 1. Their divide only deepened as Mould, now recognized—as he should be—as the godfather of grunge guitar sounds, went on to a fine solo career, while Hart, despite some fantastic post- Hüsker tunes of his own (“2. Evergreen Memorial Drive” to name two), pretty much disappeared.“There will be a Hüsker Dü reunion,” Hart said some years ago.

It’ll be in federal court.”But, much to the amazement and bliss of the band’s fans, the squabbling members’ camps got together enough to have the first- ever Hüsker Dü box set put together. The collection, Savage Young Du, will feature early demos and remixes from the band’s early output, and is scheduled to be released in November. News of the first official Hüsker Dü release in 3. Chances of that went from unlikely to zero in the middle of last night. Back to me: I’ve been in a really bad band for a long time with my friends. Well, we hardly ever actually play, but we talk about being in a bad band all the time, which is really fun, and we take rock and roll trips together and occasionally even hassle our rock and roll idols into hanging out with us, which has been indescribably great.

In 2. 00. 8, we took our roving fantasy band camp to Minneapolis and asked Grant Hart if he’d play with us. Hüsker Dü meant more to me than any other ’8. I spent the second half of the decade listening to them for hours a day and seeing them for several D. C. shows. All these years later, there are very few people with whom I can talk about all the chills and thrills the band gave me without getting weird stares. Speaking of weird: Grant Hart said sure, he’d play with me and my buddies. And more. He took us all over Minneapolis and St.

Paul, pointing out rock landmarks (“That’s the Metal Circus cover window,” “There’s the Let It Be house,” etc ..), brought us to his friends’ restaurants—he knew everybody in town and vice versa—and gave lectures on the dark side of local hero Henry Ford, who, along with building big automotive plants in the Twin Cities in the early 2. Grant, a dedicated anti- Semite. Hart also told rock and roll tales, like learning from Hüsker Dü tours which neighborhoods had the best drugs in every city. And, probably to humor his starstruck guests, he spoke of Mould the way an angry divorcee would speak to the children about their other parent. We learned, among other things, that Hart was still peeved about that time he drove by the Hüsker Dü studio in the wee hours and caught Mould leaving the building with his guitar, clearly having just violated the band’s pact not to add overdubs to recent recordings.) Hart looked like crap, but was in a great mood when we got to the studio, even after we proved that all our warnings of utter talentlessness were true.

He drummed hard as hell, shrieked that same amazing shriek that had awed me for decades, and even played piano in a sweet but failed attempt to save one of our songs from awfulness. He’d told us he’d been clean narcotically for years, but everybody took a break during the session to help Hart out when he confessed he’d hidden a cube of hash somewhere in the studio and forgotten where but really wanted it. We found it, and he smoked.) When it was over, he wouldn’t accept any apologies from us for the sounds. They can’t all be Zen Arcade,” he told us. No, they can’t. I’m going to go listen to Zen Arcade now. I doubt I’ll clench my fists as tightly as I once did, but I bet I cry.
