4 & 3. Skids & Mudflap - Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
The Characters: Autobot brothers who help fend off the Decepticons...and stuff. It's a Transformers movie: what else is there to it? Why They're Offensive: Because they're blatant caricatures of black people, what with their speaking loudly in ebonics, carrying themselves with stereotypical "gangsta" poses, having big ears, announcing that they don't read much and one of them even having a gold tooth. The characters immediately caused mass outrage online, while Michael Bay and the movie's screenwriters continually attempted to shift the blame around to the voice actors and even the VFX department for leaning into stereotypes too much. Unsurprisingly, the two characters were subsequently banished from the franchise due to this negative reaction. Do They Ruin The Movie?: No, but they're just another groan-inducing reason why ROTF is the worst Transformers movie. At least if these two had been cut out of the movie, a few minutes could've been shaved off that brutal 150-minute run-time.
