Men in Black II/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Evil Is Sexy: Serleena actively invokes this when she takes the form of a lingerie model. In fact some dialogue implies that she always assumes the form of a sexy woman when she comes to Earth.
    • The form Serleena takes on as soon as she arrives on Earth? Lara Flynn Boyle in a Victoria's Secret catalog. The first part stays on throughout the film.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
    • In the sequel, Jay takes a neuralyzed Kay under his wing to try and stop a threat only Kay knew how to deal with, and the rest of MiB is compromised from the inside. Hotshot rookie Jay is now the jaded veteran, and Kay is the over-his-head smartass! ... for about thirty minutes.
    • Word of God says he didn't want Will Smith to play the straight man after seeing how badly it went in Wild Wild West.
      • Which only makes it worse, since Will is about the only passable thing in that movie.
      • On top of that, Smith has since demonstrated that he is more than capable of playing the straight man. Of course, those projects received considerably better critical praise than Wild Wild West did.
    • In MIB³, we never really get to see Boris kicking ass in his original alien form.
