10 Sci-Fi Movie Moments That Pissed Off Fans
Hey, Dark Fate was a pretty interesting fanfic. Good thing it isn't canon, right?
Science fiction has the ability to wow audiences in a way unlike any other in the world of entertainment. Pushing the boundaries on an audience's imagination, it can produce some of the most spellbinding moments and conjure up the most colourful characters ever seen on the big screen.
There have been countless iconic science fiction films released over the years, and even most of the instances that haven't exactly hit home on this particular list still belong in franchises that have gotten much more right than they have wrong.
Nevertheless, there are still countless moments that have completely ripped the book up, done away with the formula and served up something that has left a rotten taste in the mouths of fans. Nothing is ever perfect of course, but far too often it feels like films go out of their way to make decisions that they know will trigger a reaction just to remain relevant, not caring about the lore and history behind a community and its films.
So, from killing off beloved characters and destroying their legacies, tossing away items that have become symbols for a community, to literally anything from the 2018 Predator film, here's our take on 10 Sci-Fi movie moments that really pissed off fans.
10. Where's Tommy Lee Gone? - Men In Black 3
Men in Black (MIB International excluded) is one of the science fiction world's most original series in recent times. Its super cool gadgets and quirky alien beings made for an interesting watch on their own, but it was the surprising chemistry between stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones that really helped make the first two films so memorable.
After an entire decade off the big screen, Men in Black returned for a third film in 2012. There was a lot of hype and expectation for the return of Agents K and J, but the end result was a movie devoid of any of the life or charm of its predecessors.
Obviously age is a thing and a decade is a long time for someone like Tommy Lee Jones, but there was certainly a formula for the franchise that fans had come to expect that had Smith and Jones at heart of things.
After a decade of being starved of the quips and jokes from the Men in Black's best agents, plenty of fans were pissed off that they were presented with a film that had said chemistry absent for well over half its runtime.
