12 Iconic Characters Utterly Ruined By Terrible Commercials

10. Agent Smith Cares

Agent Smith embodied everything that the first Matrix film did right. He was a shining example of how a good actor under good direction can take a simple concept and execute it perfectly. Agent Smith epitomised cold and calculating evil, and he was so brilliant that he managed to turn a black suit into a Halloween costume, and the words €˜Mr Anderson€™ into a catchphrase. He was simply one of the coolest bad guys ever. That is why it is completely devastating to see him here shilling GE Hospital products. It would make sense if he was shilling something from GE€™s weapons manufacturing subsidiaries €“ but healthcare? Since when does Agent Smith care about your organ transplant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7GxfpZ2Vg The commercial showed the heartbreaking sight of Agent Smith receiving a check up, while he shamelessly boasts about how much good GE€™s futuristic health care systems will be for humans. These are the same humans it should be pointed out, that absolutely disgusted him, and which he referred to as a €˜virus€™ in the first Matrix film. It€™s pretty much impossible to see any real menace re-watching the Matrix after you€™ve seen Agent Smith on the end of a tongue depressor
