Example: Batman Forever (among many, many others)
This one was brought to my attention by alert reader David Hahn, who’s got a sweet site you should check out. He says it best…
“One that should die is when, in an act of defiance at a crucial moment after the villain has stated his intentions, the angry hero responds with “I don’t THINK so.”
Vomit.”
A good point, David. To which I could only add the PERFECT ENDING…
Villian: “I don’t care what you think.” BANG.
Villian wins, unleashes horror on the world that destroys humanity, but decisively ends the threat of reality television. A bittersweet ending, and a sobering wake up call to Dancing with the Stars fans everywhere.
