Channing Tatum = Douchey Elf in Jupiter Ascending | Angry Nerd

Starring: Chris Baker

[Laxhoop]

Predestination is a sad excuse for a plot device. You could accidentally make the main character the most unlikeable character in the movie, but that doesn't matter; he's the chosen one, you have to like him, because no one can kill him. The writers make sure of that. No matter how much it doesn't make sense.

He looks like General Zod cosplaying as an Eldar from Warhammer 40K.
He looks like the first Romulan to become a UNSC Spartan.
He looks like Legolas's evil Mirror World doppelganger.
He looks like Malekith the Accursed if he decided to be even less subtle about how evil he is.

[robbiecarter]

Part of the genius of Star Wars is that even though Luke is the "chosen one" he has far from an easy time defeating Vader and the Emperor. I found the best part of the trilogy was him trying not to give into the dark side.

[krani]

Bruce Willis's character from Unbreakable had a pretty unfair advantage. He was an invulnerable superhero predestined to fight a guy with glass bones.
On the other hand, Unbreakable gives a massive middle-finger to that whole "predestination" bit by asking, "What about if you're the bad guy? What if you're fated not to be Flash Gordon, but Ming the Merciless? Even if you're actually a nice guy and don't want to hurt people?"

Harry potter was only sort of spoiled when he got to hogwarts at age 11 and was never a brat.

[sethwyatt]

Lone star from space balls was destined to be royalty but that didn't give him an unfair advantage

[TheIMMORTALKAHNHD]

oh yeah I forgot their not the wachoski bros anymore...

[joechambers]

Every hero has an unfair advantage. Why? Because the hero never loses. The script demands they win. Through hell or high water, the hero will always win. Just once I would like to see a great movie where the bad guy wins.

[nickmoseley]

jodie holmes from beyond two souls by one of my favorite game developers, david cage, because there are literally no fucking reprocautions when you miss a quick time event (which are already bad by themselves)

[mattkenaga]

I'm pretty sure that Luke Skywalker was a bratty teenager who developed super powers and discovered that he was predestined to save the galaxy.  Of course he was just a "reboot" of King Arthur.  Yet somehow that story was told in such a way that it changed the world forever; so it can be done.

[DagoRuiz]

What!? I am looking forward to seeing this. I know no movie is without sins but this is pretty harsh criticism if its completely based off of a vague plot summary and trailer. I just hope Channing doesn't act like himself, if they had to make him an elf to change character, then good on the duo directors.

[jnzkngs]

This is a chick flick disguised as an action movie. It's Princess Diaries with the part of Julie Andrews being played by a set of abs.  

[danecobain]

I had no idea that you're such a huge Channing Tatum fan!

[beegusboogus]

Ya know what would be funny?
Hearing Chris (Angry Nerd) curse a lot in a video regarding his most hated movie/show/comic/book.
That would be pretty entertaining.

[deepriverchiropractic]

"To a friend of mine." Bahahaha   Does Leeloo from the Fifth Element count?

[lordadazai]

Interestingly, the original heroes in Bionicle were predestined to accomplish a goal, but it was later revealed that they were actually built for that purpose anyway. It wasn't until 2009 that destiny was no longer implemented.

[dillonpegram]

No worries, Babylonian history can be difficult to grasp.

[richzag]

that movie looks amazing your on crack 

[zapranoth]

Personally I thought speed racer was a damn good movie. Plus it was such a visual spectacle.

[krani]

What do you expect? These *are* the same guys who gave us The Matrix, a movie that celebrates predestination in what is supposed to be a serious sci-fi universe.
Thank you, Matrix Reloaded, for settling the score somewhat in that regard, and damn you, Matrix Reloaded, for reinforcing the blunt "Jesus" symbolism with Neo.
