21 Male Movie Characters Who Were So Bad, They Almost Ruined The Entire Film

"He goes to the dark side and murders a temple full of Jedi Padawans, commits mass genocide on an entire system, repeatedly tries to murder Rey, and just sucks on every level. I hate the toxicity that is Reylo, and I'm glad his character dies."

"He’s as romantic as a dish sponge, and he's an emotionally abusive stalker who always needs to have things on his terms. He's presented as being romantically desirable for it, but he doesn’t deserve good things — he deserves jail time."

"Nick is a neglectful person disguised as a dreamboat. He keeps misleading Rachel on how to deal with his family — even his friend knows Rachel is in danger of being harassed by his mother. His solution to reconcile his family’s snobbery towards Rachel is so childish, and he continues to put her in difficult situations throughout the movie."

"He's exactly the type of guy who claims his 'sensitivity' is what causes girls not to like him, when it’s actually the fact that he’s just a giant jerk."

—elliel44400adf5

"He’s selfish, manipulative, and gets so many people killed for the sake of trying to save himself. As the movie goes on, his character just continuously makes everything worse."

"The whole movie is made to make you sympathize with Joker and see why he becomes a villain, but they royally fail."

"He totally minimizes and dismisses Dani's feelings, gaslights her about an entire trip to Sweden after her parents are murdered, and ignores her consistent panic attacks. I was VERY excited when he was burnt in a bear suit. All hail the Midsommar Queen."

"He’s completely stuck on his ex-girlfriend, and the fact that he defends Gen knowing she posted the video of him and Lara Jean pisses me off!!! Lara Jean deserves John Ambrose."

"He's the absolute worst fiancé to Rose and is generally just an awful person. He's misogynistic, entitled, and does a lot of awful things to both Jack and Rose. He literally tries to frame him because he's completely selfish."

—matchamatcha

"He poisons his partner and steals his music and guitar so he can become famous. He's the worst, and everyone needs to know it!"

"The scene when Ally's manager tells Jackson he's bringing her down because of his mental health makes me want to scream — Jackson looks so defeated. Her manager is selfish and unmindful, and he deserves the worst."

"This movie is bad enough, but I can't for the life of me tell if I'm supposed to think Scott Pilgrim is the hero. He treats women like eye candy, and he doesn't give a f*ck about their actual feelings."

"He's a married man who's supposed to be with his angel wife, but eventually he tries to get with Juno, a pregnant high school student carrying his adopted baby."

"I've always deeply hated Professor Callaghan from Legally Blonde. The moment when he makes Elle doubt her intelligence by sexually assaulting her and inferring she's only doing well in his course because she's pretty is heartbreaking, no matter how many times you watch the movie."

"Most of the guys from '80s movies are awful, especially Steff from Pretty in Pink. He's awful to Andie, and he never gets in trouble for it."

—jane_4040

"All male main characters from John Green movie adaptations are whiny, especially Quentin from Paper Towns. He's weirdly philosophical for a teenager, and he thinks he's entitled to dating Margo. No thank you."

—books_baking_broadway

"He's abusive, suspicious, and generally awful, but everyone seems to give him a pass because Marlon Brando is hot."

—dellarock

"Wickham is a liar, a creep, and a manipulative user who preys on young women. I sincerely hope Lydia annoys the hell out of him every damn day."

—rachell11

"Every single male in Animal House is awful. There's so much sexual assault — this movie did not age well."

—audras40ba7dcb9

"He drunkenly sexually assaults his wife, and he doesn't really apologize for it."

—aliciazumbusch

"As a child, I thought Andrea was wrong in the relationship, but then I rewatched it like a year ago and holy crap, this Nate guy is clearly jealous of Andrea's success. He constantly snubs her for genuinely liking the fashion world, and he always complains she's somehow being shallow. What a crybaby."
