10 Exact Moments Fans Turned On HYPED Movies

Some films capture a cultural moment without ever even intending to. Seth MacFarlane’s Ted was never intended to be an epochal timely film, but rewatch the talking teddy stoner comedy and you’ll likely be overcome by how deeply 2012 the film is.

Cultural norms don’t seem to change at a rate of noughts, but there’s no denying that Deadpool feels very 2016 in the same way the same writers' earlier effort Zombieland embodies 2009. This gradual change in cultural trends is usually most noticeable in comedy, where a joke which was considered ribald but charming in 2010's Hot Tub Time Machine is seen as tasteless and tired by the film's regrettable 2015 sequel.

This was brutally epitomized in 2013 with the release of Kick Ass 2.

The follow up to 2010's darkly funny superhero subversion, the film aimed to be darker, edgier, and more hardcore than its predecessor right around the time that the cultural conversation started to shift toward more tasteful, less shock-based modes of comedy.

As a result, the scene wherein Christopher Mintz-Plasse's villain attempts to rape one of the film's heroines, only to find he's unable to, was outdated and wince-inducing-ly cringeworthy by the time the film arrived in theatres.

This was always a dark series, but Kick Ass 2 is all the nihilism without the humanity of the first.
