Line 60:
* Go into any horror movie forum and bring up the issue of whether ''[[Evil Dead]] II'' is a remake, reboot, or sequel. No matter what side you support (or even if you're neutral), you're bound to stir up some flames.
* ''[[Goodfellas]]'' vs. ''[[The Godfather]]'', or the directorial skills of [[Francis Ford Coppola|Coppola]] vs. [[Martin Scorsese|Scorsese]].
* With critics savagely blasting ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', they appear to have designated themselves to be the recipients of extra strength flames (Most notably [[Roger Ebert]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130207230653/http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/07/i_am_a_brainiac.html who then responded to the hate mail from his initial review] not unlike [[Zero Punctuation|Yatzhee]] and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl'', noted below). On top of that, there's [[Uncle Tomfoolery|the Twins]], who made the medias implode over the perceived racism.
* The ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' movies. Quick ways to piss off entire forums: [[Stephenie Meyer]]'s "dream team" casting should have been put into place by Summit. [[Robert Pattinson]] is the best/worst Edward ever. Same for [[Kristen Stewart]] and Bella. Taylor Lautner should have been fired. Bryce Dallas Howard will make a FAR better Victoria. [[New Moon]] was horrible. Twilight's special effects were awesome. And, easiest of all: there should be no sex in [[Breaking Dawn]], because won't anyone think of the children?
** When ''Eclipse'' led the [[Golden Raspberry Award|Razzies]] nominations along with ''[[The Last Airbender]]'', the fandom quickly went to the awards website to complain (though it got there more due to overexposure than due to the film being ''that'' bad).
Line 99:
** [[Unfortunate Implications]] ([[Race Lift|THEY GOT A WHITE DUDE TO PLAY BANE!?!]] [[Christopher Nolan|NOLAN]] [[Women in Refrigerators|CAN'T WRITE WOMEN!]])
** Even the ''title'' has people complaining about how much it sucks.
* Never, ''ever'', '''''EVER''''' say that you like the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' films more than the books. You will be ripped to shreds by the fandom. Even on ''[[This Very Wiki|this very wiki.]]''
** Steve Kloves (the screenwriter for all the movies except ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'') gets a lot of hate for the changes he made to the book. Ron/Hermione shippers (and Ron fans in general), despise him in particular for his treatment of Ron (giving many of his best lines to other characters, removing a lot of his intelligence and making him much more goofy and essentially reducing his role in the trio to [[Plucky Comic Relief]]) and Hermione (giving her many of the best lines, including several of Ron's, playing up her intelligence and competence to almost [[Mary Sue]]-ish proportions), and his seeming preference for [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Harry/Hermione]]. Not helped by Kloves saying that his favorite character is Hermione and many Harmonians (militant H/Hr shippers) citing the movies as evidence for their 'ship (Despite the fact that the movies aren't, y'know...canon)
** Also don't lament against ''The Prisoner Of Azkaban'' (The Harry Potter equivalent of ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'') if you know what's good for you (especially not if it's ''The Chamber of Secrets'', the equivalent of ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'')
** Also which Dumbledore is better? Older fans will tell you Richard Harris and his [[Cool Old Guy]], [[The Obi-Wan]], authoratative portrayal was the best against the flamboyant, expressive, [[Large Ham]]-like Michael Gambon. The others would say Michael Gambon gave Dumbledore more depth and Richard Harris was just giving a Santa Claus-like portrayal. Either way the results are very ugly
* ''[[Sucker Punch]]''. Hoo boy. Either it is an unabashed ode to all things geeky or an incomprehensible mess of [[Author Appeal]] and [[Male Gaze]] with a more than healthy dose of [[Unfortunate Implications]]. Bonus points if you use "video game" to describe it negatively.
