When you think about it, Dr. Schultz definitely escalated the situation but his actions did lead to the destruction of Candyland. Otherwise they would have gotten Broomhilda and Candyland would have continued operating.
Good topic but I think that would only work to a certain extent. They are villains for a reason. Nonetheless this has my gears turning for if I have seen such a thing in a film. Off top, I can't think of any.

What about Tony Stark in Age of Ultron? He created the villain & Ultron almost destroyed the world! How did you miss that?! That was one of the things that led to Civil War!

When it comes to The Butterfly Effect, whether you're talking about the director's cut or the theatrical cut, you have to consider the end result more than the road to it. In one version he sacrifices his entire life so that the people he loves can have happier lives. In the other, he sacrifices ONLY his "love" for the same reason. And in both, people end up better for it. It's the dark other side of the It's a Wonderful Life coin, where the world really would be better off without our protagonist in it (or happy in it). And upon learning this, he removes himself. That's a pretty noble sacrifice, in either scenario.
perhaps. but he movie also teaches us it might be good for a while (like the first imeline before killing tommy fucks it up again) until something goes wrong because you shouldnt fuck with time
Jar Jar Binks... If it wasn't for him trying to be helpful the Jedi would likely have never found Anakin, Palpatine wouldn't have stayed in power, the Empire wouldn't have risen, and The Jedi Order would all be fine and dandy.
Anna's and Elsa's father from Frozen would've deserved an honorable mention. Though his mistakes are far from being the main theme in the story events, he does make things worse in very similar way, and for very similar reasons as Joy.
When you think about it, Evan had no choice but to make it worse, because his time travelling is based upon the Lorenz system- butterfly effect, which causes a chaotic chain reaction via a different action which effects the WHOLE system.
What about Ethan Hawke’s character who plays the dad in Sinister? He pretty much killed his own family by knowingly moving into a haunted house without letting his wife know just so he could find a story to write.
I feel you picked the wrong moment in The Ring. She released the girl's spirit from the well to try and end the curse only for it to be revealed that the girl was evil and now after released had much more power.
newfacepaula yea he did, but since the Jedi are supposed to be the heroes in the movie because they are on the "good" side, one could claim that he made matters worse
I'd say that Joy just wanted Riley to have a happy life. Not out of selfishness, but out of care. Sadness has a role to play in life, yeah, but most people would rather have more happiness in life than sadness. Everything Joy does is for Riley, so I wouldn't put the blame on Joy. I'd definitely blame sadness for constantly operating out of turn.
Yeah, could you imagine what would have happened if Gozer had taken the form of a flesh and blood type being? Defeating him would have resulted in an explosion of blood and guts all over the city.
Truculent - There's movies with unhappy endings and then there's movies with unhappy endings that haunt you until the day you die. Just saying. You don't have to be all condescending about it. That ending was freaking painful. That was one of those endings where you rock yourself and keep repeating that it isn't real...
it was stupid who wouldve shot and killed their family? yeah there's a giant alien and it seems kinda hopeless but that is beyond stupid if there is a chance to keep your family alive you fucking take that chance!
#9 goes deeper than what they present here. The store clerk in The Mist is the original possessor of the gun who in one scene defends our protagonists against a hostile member of the group in the super market by shooting them with one shot to the body followed by one shot to the head...had the first shot been the head shot or perhaps no head shot and they just let the hostile person fall behind...there would have been an even number of bullets in the gun at the end, and David could have ended his life along with his son and friends. That always got me more than anything really. I mean he would have been dead, but he also wouldn't be suffering.
Homer Simpson - The Simpsons Movie, Themistockles - 300: Rise of an Empire, Flik - A Bug`s Life, Mr. Incredible - The Incredibles, Winston Churchill - Darkest Hour, Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars Episode lll: Revenge of the Sith, Rango - Rango, Cameron Poe - Con-Air, Jake Sully - Avatar and Spider-Man - Spider-Man: Far from Home.
The Butterfly Effect is the only time I've ever enjoyed Ashton Kutcher's work. Yeah, I know, I'm gonna get hate; I've just never found him funny or much of a good actor.
when Dr.king died I shouted out loud " noooooo, he is going to die now. why just whyyyyyy" I was so attached to the character and the actor though this was my first encounter with mr. waltz's acting abilities. he is breathtakingly brilliant
superman 2? when Superman tossed the hydrogen bomb elevator into outerspace for it to explode and unwittingly free the kryptonian villains from the phantom zone
"Bridge over the River Kwai" Nicholson kills Shears and Joyce at the end to save the bridge he built before he realizes who's side he is on, blowing up the bridge but costing several lives including his own.
Classic. He went along with building the bridge in order to keeping morale up and avoiding abuse by their captors only to let his nationalistic pride and ego take over.
What about Merida from Brave, Anna from Frozen, Mr. Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox, Shrek, Judy Hopps from Zootopia, Carl Fredricksen from Up, Tarzan, Homer Simpson from the Simpson Movie, Danny from Cats Don't Dance, Rodney from Robots, Flik from A Bug's Life, Jack Skellington, Oscar from Shark Tale, Aladdin, Chicken Little, Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove, Gru from Despicable Me, Barry from Bee Movie, Zak from Ferngully, Oh from Home, Stitch, Jimmy Neutron, Mr. Incredible, Sully from Monsters University, Twilight Sparkle from MLP Movie, Migo from Smallfoot?
What about Scrat from the Ice age franchise? Although he didn't do anything worse for the first 4 movies, But he made things worse in Ice age collision course. Sorry that I had to spoil the movie for people who haven't seen Ice age 5.
no because if he hadn;t gotten involved the ark would've been taken straight to Berlin where it would've been opened in the presence of the German high command and the war would be over
but he stops the convoy on the way to Berlin if we're assuming he doesn't get involved then by all logic either marion would've died earlier or never escaped the tomb and it was only because of their intervention that the nazis ended up on the island
The nazis wouldn't have found Marion's bar if they didn't have Indy to follow. And if they can't find the bar - no medallion ... no medallion - no Ark. Anyway his mission was to find the Ark and take it to the US - which he did.
There are *TONS* of movies where the protagonist,accidentally or by ill-informed design,sets in motion the events that will eventually affect hundreds of people,many times for the worse...what makes them heroes is the amount of risk they take to set things right.
Maybe he had a gun up his sleeve as well or some sort of poison way to shake his hand idk too many movies but there was something off about how he kept insisting
nah. i one of the frustrating traits of Candie was that everything he did was technically legal. He was basically untouchable because of this otherwise schultz would have just taken him out in the first place as a bounty hunter. Candie wouldn't kill them because he would want to maintain his image as a respectable businessman. That and it's more sadistic to let django and schultz leave knowing that there was nothing they could do about the horrible things Candie is guilty of.
When you really think about it, Marty could have totally stood up to Doc. He could have been all "I'm taking this almanac with me. What are you gonna do, leave me here?" Yeah, yeah I know it's not in his character and it's a dick thing to do, I'm just saying.
Really. "Tony, don't mess with this thing, it can go Frankenstein on you." "Nah, don't worry." Ultron wakes up, busts loose and goes on a killing spree for the rest of the movie.
Just one of several major calamities Tony Stark creates. Civil War, where Zemo wants to get revenge for the loss of his family in Sokovia and goes on a killing spree. Winter Soldier, where Tony helps build the engines for the three Hydra helicarriers. Even in his own films, where he decided to disband his military manufacturing business on the one hand causing major losses for shareholders and on the other putting a lot of people out of work, we can assume thousands of people relied on his company for a living since he is supposed to be a big name in the arms industry. Sure he stays independently wealthy but what about all of his staff?
MahsaKaerra Now that you mention Stark in other films, in Iron Man 3, didn't he announce his home address to the media, asking the bad guys to take him on? The first thing they did was to send a death plane and shoot his mansion to hell, also endangering Pepper Potts, who doesn't have an Iron Man suit handy. Yeah, he brought that shit storm on himself. Bad enough that he has no secret identity, but home address? Hey, genius, you can effortlessly design artificial intelligence, but can't figure out how old fashioned organic intelligence works?
+Hogen Mogen Precisely. Arguably the only film where Tony Stark _doesn't_ end up creating his own troubles is The Avengers. In IM1, considering his choice of career as a war profiteer and his being a genius at creating weapons, I'm surprised he didn't get kidnapped earlier. In IM2, he got attacked entirely because he just had to tell the world that he was Iron Man and flaunt his suits. In IM3, like you pointed out, he literally gave his home address to a bunch of terrorists. In AoU, he created a genocidal AI that nearly caused global extinction. Then, in CW, he helped split the team up by being way too hasty in signing a document that he didn't even read and he didn't even really believe in, seeing how he imeediately decided to ignore Ross's orders when he decided that he needed to do something that Ross wouldn't allow him to, thus invalidating his entire stance on the Accords.
I'm surprised Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars is not even put in the honorable mentions here. He did a few things with good intentions that went bad in the long run. Most of them happened in Episode 3 though, like executing the Jedi Order because he thought they were the evil of the universe. Sure, he was blinded by Darh Sidious and his promises for Power, but still. He was a hero with good intentions doing things bad and turning the Galaxy for several decades into an Empire leaded by an Emporer and then into a stage of Rebellion with splinter groups of the old Empire fighting off Rebels. Things could have gone better if he for example would have listened to his Mentor and all the Jedi Masters around him. And definitly not go mental because he became one of the Youngest Jedi Masters in Jedi History, but not becoming a member of the Council.
but thats the part that doesnt make sense. How can you have 2 armies if they are the same side? that would mean at a certain number it no longer counts as a army, but 2. If thats the case what number would that even be?
In the books the five armies are:men,dwarves and elves against goblins and wolves...in the movie its dwarves,men and elves against the orcs of Gundabad and the orcs of Dol Guldur
Yeah...and it's clearly based on Armes Prydain. A piece of Welsh poetry about The Britons (The Welsh), The Danes, The Scots and The Irish who fought together to stave off the initiall Saxon invasion of Britain. J.R.R Tolkien loved the Welsh language also.
Homer Simpson from the Simpsons Movie maybe not be much of a hero but I think HE counts. Considering he went to dispose a silo filled with pig poo (from Spider-Pig) and dumped it somewhere he SHOULD`NT have: Lake Springfield,where the residents have just cleaned up the lake to rid it of it`s pollution and infestation and that all led to the entire town being encased in a giant glass dome and everyone lighting their torches and forming a mob when they found out Homer was the one responsible.
"The Mist" arguably shouldn't be on this list. David did the only thing he could think of; he had no idea that salvation was so close. It's hardly "making things worse" if you reach wits end and do what looks like the humane thing.
Yes, but in the end could you live knowing you killed your own family? That was selfish. He made a choice for his family for them. If he was so sure of no salvation why did he choose to live? That's what gets me. It's been a long while since I've seen the movie so maybe I forgot something, but you just dont kill your own kid because times are hard and scary.
He should have but it also showed how much compassion he had for slaves and how much he hated the way Calvin was treating Django, Broomhilda and the other slaves
Jonathan Gonzales yeah, his emotions got the best of him. he still made it way harder for Django and Hildy to escape. Shoulda finished his business there, and if it still bothered him, gone back and shot the place up.
True, but as far as Django's personal journey, it made things a lot more complicated and put him in much more risk when they'd already gotten what they came for.
Yeah, it's not about him making "everything" worse. He did make things worse for Django, but he for sure did more good through the movie overall, and it wasn't like he wanted to hurt Django. He's one of my favorite characters ever. I loved seeing Waltz go from being a really bad guy in Inglourious Basterds, to playing such a badass good guy in Django.
I loved him in Tarzan, the way he reacts to Tarzan shouting out in the distance was hysterically hilarious undercutting the heavy atmosphere of the hostage situation with his wife tagging along: I expected it sound differently, as if he was putting down Tarzan.
Actually, it's Doc Brown that screwed things up in the first place with inventing the time machine. However, if he hadn't, we wouldn't have 3 amazing adventures...so there's that
I thought Calvin Candy had his own trick up his sleeve whenhe asked King Schultz. to shake his hand,I just didn't. trust him .I thought King Schultz just countered his scheme.
Personally I blame the Magi for the Mummy. "Instead of executing this traitor let's cast an ancient curse on him that turns him into an unkillable demon capable of taking over the world should he ever be released"
All these old comments for Age of Ultron...HAH...little did they know! Remake today and Chris Pratt will be on there for allowing Josh Brolin to keep his gauntlet. Literally killed half a universe. #1 EZ.
Nick Van Owen from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. His activist actions cost more lives than would have likely been lost. If he didn't bring the baby T. Rex to the trailer then the parents wouldn't have attacked and killed Eddie Carr. If he hadn't sabotaged Roland's shotgun then he would have been able to kill the T. Rex instead of being forced to tranquilize it, and if it hadn't been tranquilized then it wouldn't have been transported back to San Diego where it proceeded to King Kong the whole place.
Oh yeah. Considering he went to dispose a silo filled with pig poo (from Spider-Pig) and dumped it somewhere he SHOULD`NT: Lake Springfield,where the residents have just cleaned up the lake to rid it of it`s pollution and infestation and that all led to the entire town being encased in a giant glass dome and everyone lighting their torches when they found out Homer was the one responsible.
Left off some really obvious ones like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Neo from The Matrix (he created Agent Smith and only managed a temporary truce with the machines), Tony Stark form The Avengers 2, Captain Benjamin Willard from Apocalypse Now (seriously what do you think a crazed cult is going to do when it's leader gets killed), Harry Potter and Crew (got Hagrid back his job in the third movie who then continued being bad at his job and almost caused a huge incident in the 4th movie), Ellen Ripley (Blew up a ship and nuked a colony to destroy the Alien but failed to do so each time), general Maximus fro Gladiator (basically leaves the Roman Empire leaderless just so he could get revenge), Will Rodman from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Probably the king of doing more harm than good. He creates a virus which cures Alzheimer but also makes the gorillas it was tested on hyper intelligent. He prevents the death of the gorilla leader Caesar who eventually lead the apes in taking over the planet and subjugate the entire human race).
I actually liked the character. She was struggling and had no idea how to handle the situation. Eventually, she realized that the other Emotions, mainly Sadness, were just as important as her. And my favorite part of the film was watching Amy Poehler bring the character to life.
Seems this should have been split into 2 different lists. Half of these aren't "heroes who made it worse" but "Heroes who caused the problem to begin with". You can't say guys like Wreck-it Ralph, Evie, Marty or Joy made things worse, because they didn't make a problem worse, they created the actual problem and the rest of the movie is basically fixing a problem they themselves created, whereas the other examples are problems that occured either way and they simply inadvertently aided or added additional conflict to somehow.
True, Doc Brown could have saved everyone a LOT of grief had he not built it, but don't forget, he also wouldn't have met Clara, fallen in love, married, and had a loving family. Not to mention, that wouldn't have happened if Marty hadn't been there to rescue Clara. Maybe in HIS eyes at least, it was all worth it.
Homer Simpson in The Simpsons Movie (causes the whole town of Springfield to be trapped under a dome after polluting its lake), Shrek in Shrek Forever After (gets tricked into signing a contract with Rumplestiltskin which result in him living in an alternate reality where his friends and even his wife Fiona don't recognise him and Rumplestiltskin rules Far Far Away with an iron fist), Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Far From Home (gives Mysterio a dangerously enhanced weapon system after believing him to be his alley), Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes (unintentionally allows his ape colony to get captured after abandoning them to find the colonel who killed his wife and older son), Emmet in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (helps Rex Dangervest unintentionally cause Armamageddon) and Tony Stark in Avengers: Age of Ultron (creates Ultron to be a peace-keeping program which backfires, resulting in Ultron wishing to annihilate humanity instead).
also, i had to think long and hard about the avatar reference at the end. that was a pretty good catch on you, mojo. jake sully's job wasnt to go there and work with the military, he was to fill his brothers shoes as a scientist/researcher. had he done this and only this, the fight on the na'vi most likely would've never got that bad. natiri's dad and the tree of souls got offed because he wanted to relive the soldier days then changed his mind. brilliant!
Vibish Lekshmanan And also David Jordan from the Sci-fi Horror movie Life, because he lured the alien Calvin into the escape pod, instead of leaving the alien to die on the station as it burns up in the atmosphere. The whole "take it into deep space" thing went wrong because Calvin ends up on Earth and possibly causes the end of the world, while Miranda ends up getting stranded in space.
I typed out a really long response to this comment, I then realised I wasn't even half done explaining the convoluted context that puts Harry on the list, but it is a fair Honorable mention, it is in reference to the 5th film, I suggest you go watch it, or better, read the book.
I think mr potato head should've been number 1, he treated woody like trash only because he knocked buzz out the window and unintentionally made things worse for buzz too!
I was just annoyed you don't do that to your family even when things seem hopeless they still had a chance and couldve had muCH less of a chamve even, dumb
Others you could include in the "Another" list. Judy Hopps - Zootopia. Blows the lid off of the savage sickness coverup, causing widespread civil unrest, which she fed into at the press conference since nobody ever told her she's allowed to say "I cannot comment at this time." Obi-Wan Kenobe - Star Wars: A New Hope & The Emperor Strikes Back Blatantly lied about Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader, missing multiple (and critical) opportunities to come clean about it, but for whatever reason choosing only to do so after Luke loses a hand (and even then, he's a defiant ass about it). "By a certain perspective?!" ~Luke Skywalker Benson - Bee Movie Upset the balance of nature, literally almost killing all of it. Batman - Justice League: Doom Created detailed files on all the members of the Justice League and how to defeat them, just in case any of them went rogue. Said files instead end up in the hands of the villains. 9 - 9 Wakes up the Fabrication Machine, gets over half of the Stitchpunks killed. Jay - Dogma Shoots off Bartleby's wings, allowing him to transubstantiate to human, which was necessary for him to receive a plenary indulgence, gain entry into Heaven, and in effect, prove God wrong and negate all existence. Wallace - Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit #1: The titular Were-Rabbit was a result of one of Wallace's bizarre inventions. #2: Wallace IS the Were-Rabbit.
I'm a simple man, I saw Django Unchained so I clicked
yep, me too
it is the only reason I clicked on the video. but it was disappointigly surprising to see Dr.schultz in the 10'th spot
Same
When you think about it, Dr. Schultz definitely escalated the situation but his actions did lead to the destruction of Candyland. Otherwise they would have gotten Broomhilda and Candyland would have continued operating.
+Czah5 The worst thing he did was cause his own death, really.
Here is an idea: "Top 10 Movie Villains Who Made Things Better"!
Michael Harrington Thanos
Makes me think of The Purge... Thanos...
Good topic but I think that would only work to a certain extent. They are villains for a reason. Nonetheless this has my gears turning for if I have seen such a thing in a film. Off top, I can't think of any.
Vader
Ozymandias from Watchmen

making things worse implies that they were bad in the first place. things were great in that movie until that dude showed up
Exactly. It could've at least got an honorable mention
He was under the Witch's spell when he did that.
It was a manipulation of his fears though not a manipulation of his will. So what Tony did was mostly purely because of his own ego
+itachii267 the fear has consequences on the will
Man WM, you've been on fire lately! These are some pretty good lists you've been uploading recently.

When it comes to The Butterfly Effect, whether you're talking about the director's cut or the theatrical cut, you have to consider the end result more than the road to it.
In one version he sacrifices his entire life so that the people he loves can have happier lives. In the other, he sacrifices ONLY his "love" for the same reason. And in both, people end up better for it. It's the dark other side of the It's a Wonderful Life coin, where the world really would be better off without our protagonist in it (or happy in it). And upon learning this, he removes himself. That's a pretty noble sacrifice, in either scenario.
perhaps. but he movie also teaches us it might be good for a while (like the first imeline before killing tommy fucks it up again) until something goes wrong because you shouldnt fuck with time
i know I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Crew River flixportal
@Westley Titan Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !
@Crew River No problem xD
but if Wreck it Ralph didn't do what he did, Vanellope never would have gotten her life back. and he would never been treated better by everyone else
Jar Jar Binks... If it wasn't for him trying to be helpful the Jedi would likely have never found Anakin, Palpatine wouldn't have stayed in power, the Empire wouldn't have risen, and The Jedi Order would all be fine and dandy.
Actually, it was mostly because Obi-Wan saved Jar Jar.
Well technically Wreck It Ralph isn't a hero so...
except that he was never the good guy and he did everything on purpose... #DarthJarJar
Actually it was Qui Gon Jin that saved jar jar :3 but we all now that he is snoke so.... xD
The Zardack oh, okay. Thanks.
Anna's and Elsa's father from Frozen would've deserved an honorable mention. Though his mistakes are far from being the main theme in the story events, he does make things worse in very similar way, and for very similar reasons as Joy.
Tony Stark in Marvel's Avengers Age Of Ultron should have been on this list.
Yeah he would be #1
Film Toppings
Star Lord in Infinity War: Hold my beer
is it possible to count batman for oh i dunno EVERYTHING!?!
Watchmojo will never say anything bad about the M.C.U
And Bruce banner!
When you think about it, Evan had no choice but to make it worse, because his time travelling is based upon the Lorenz system- butterfly effect, which causes a chaotic chain reaction via a different action which effects the WHOLE system.
What about Ethan Hawke’s character who plays the dad in Sinister? He pretty much killed his own family by knowingly moving into a haunted house without letting his wife know just so he could find a story to write.
I feel you picked the wrong moment in The Ring. She released the girl's spirit from the well to try and end the curse only for it to be revealed that the girl was evil and now after released had much more power.
What about Qui-Gon Jin? He was the one insisting that Anakin was to be trained...
or Anakin himself :D Who saved Palpatine n stuff
without him we couldn't have star wars
newfacepaula yea he did, but since the Jedi are supposed to be the heroes in the movie because they are on the "good" side, one could claim that he made matters worse
... after many acts of genocide
newfacepaula Yes he was. But he still did more wrongs than rights though.
Always love WatchMojo. Honestly, you guys never seem to run out of clever ideas for videos!
I'd say that Joy just wanted Riley to have a happy life. Not out of selfishness, but out of care. Sadness has a role to play in life, yeah, but most people would rather have more happiness in life than sadness. Everything Joy does is for Riley, so I wouldn't put the blame on Joy. I'd definitely blame sadness for constantly operating out of turn.
Yeah, I Would Pur Her Dad
where the hell are Tony Stark and Bruce Banner in AoU???
Good point
I was referring to their creation of Ultron...
+brivanas Tony was also influenced by Scarlet Witch when he decided to create Ultron with Banner's help.
Atleast Schultz said sorry
Homer Simpson- The Simpsons Movie
The criteria is heroes, he's more of a protagonist, definitely not the hero.
IKR!!!
+Sparky Dood he saved Springfield at the end :)
Philip J. Fry He's also what doomed it in the first place.
He's not the hero he's the Homer
13:55 "I just wanted riley to be happy"
FOOL!
THE BALANCE OF THE EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM MUST BE MAINTAINED AT ALL COST!!
Where's Ray Stanze of GHOSTBUSTERS? He chose for Gozer to take the form of a 100 foot tall marshmallow man.
I couldn't help it... it just popped in there!
hehe oops
Damn you're good
John Riddlebaugh
A marshmallow man that could be roasted by highly charged proton particles
Yeah, could you imagine what would have happened if Gozer had taken the form of a flesh and blood type being? Defeating him would have resulted in an explosion of blood and guts all over the city.
Jack Skellington should have been on the list somewhere
Ted From Curious George
The Mist is fucked up man. The first time I watched it I was like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
aww gotta have your happy ending all american movie huh
no, not really. I like these kinds of movies, like the sixth sense and the first SAW but it just surprised me the first time I saw it.
yeah it was pretty fucked up.
Truculent - There's movies with unhappy endings and then there's movies with unhappy endings that haunt you until the day you die. Just saying. You don't have to be all condescending about it. That ending was freaking painful. That was one of those endings where you rock yourself and keep repeating that it isn't real...
it was stupid who wouldve shot and killed their family? yeah there's a giant alien and it seems kinda hopeless but that is beyond stupid if there is a chance to keep your family alive you fucking take that chance!
Batman and Superman made things worse.
So did Rick Flag
I'm sorry but what did Flag do? Forgot that movie already...
Stupid haters, they do Justice.
justice, with a hundreds of people dead XD but justice...i guess
I think it was Lois who made things worse. If she didn't threw the spear to the water, Superman wouldn't die.
#9 goes deeper than what they present here. The store clerk in The Mist is the original possessor of the gun who in one scene defends our protagonists against a hostile member of the group in the super market by shooting them with one shot to the body followed by one shot to the head...had the first shot been the head shot or perhaps no head shot and they just let the hostile person fall behind...there would have been an even number of bullets in the gun at the end, and David could have ended his life along with his son and friends. That always got me more than anything really. I mean he would have been dead, but he also wouldn't be suffering.
I saw the guy from Django Unchained in the thumbnail, so here I am.
Dr King Schultz *
great character.
He is my favourite part of that film, and it is my second favourite film
Reagon Alford which is the most favorite?
I'd say Pulp Fiction 😋
The Top Pick is surprisingly perfect. The whole point of the movie was for Joy to realize that being happy all the time is not a good thing
Tony Stark created Ultron. That should've been #1.
Yeah
Homer Simpson - The Simpsons Movie,
Themistockles - 300: Rise of an Empire,
Flik - A Bug`s Life,
Mr. Incredible - The Incredibles,
Winston Churchill - Darkest Hour,
Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars Episode lll: Revenge of the Sith,
Rango - Rango,
Cameron Poe - Con-Air,
Jake Sully - Avatar
and Spider-Man - Spider-Man: Far from Home.
Just because it's Marvel shit?
The Butterfly Effect is the only time I've ever enjoyed Ashton Kutcher's work. Yeah, I know, I'm gonna get hate; I've just never found him funny or much of a good actor.
I agree
yeah
Yeah. Almost all his movies are crap
He was good in Cheaper By The Dozen because he did a good job of making me not like him as his character is supposed to do xD
Agreed
Star Lord punching Thanos and waking him up in Infinity Wars....
oh god man i still dont forgive him for that.
when Dr.king died I shouted out loud " noooooo, he is going to die now. why just whyyyyyy" I was so attached to the character and the actor though this was my first encounter with mr. waltz's acting abilities. he is breathtakingly brilliant
I just did that
superman 2? when Superman tossed the hydrogen bomb elevator into outerspace for it to explode and unwittingly free the kryptonian villains from the phantom zone
"Bridge over the River Kwai" Nicholson kills Shears and Joyce at the end to save the bridge he built before he realizes who's side he is on, blowing up the bridge but costing several lives including his own.
Classic. He went along with building the bridge in order to keeping morale up and avoiding abuse by their captors only to let his nationalistic pride and ego take over.
What about Merida from Brave, Anna from Frozen, Mr. Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox, Shrek, Judy Hopps from Zootopia, Carl Fredricksen from Up, Tarzan, Homer Simpson from the Simpson Movie, Danny from Cats Don't Dance, Rodney from Robots, Flik from A Bug's Life, Jack Skellington, Oscar from Shark Tale, Aladdin, Chicken Little, Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove, Gru from Despicable Me, Barry from Bee Movie, Zak from Ferngully, Oh from Home, Stitch, Jimmy Neutron, Mr. Incredible, Sully from Monsters University, Twilight Sparkle from MLP Movie, Migo from Smallfoot?
Those are all animated.
Yes I know
But you do make a good point. I've seen all of those movies.
What about Scrat from the Ice age franchise? Although he didn't do anything worse for the first 4 movies, But he made things worse in Ice age collision course. Sorry that I had to spoil the movie for people who haven't seen Ice age 5.
Joshua V he wasn't really a hero. He didn't help anyone. Not even himself.
To everyone bringing up Tony Stark, he only created Ultron (w/ Bruce Banner's help) b/c Scarlet Witch messed up his mind.
Why was Indiana even considered?! He didnt do anything in that movie, it would have the same outcome if he had stayed home, banging his students
no because if he hadn;t gotten involved the ark would've been taken straight to Berlin where it would've been opened in the presence of the German high command and the war would be over
its been proven indy had nothing to do with any of the plot. The storyt would have gone the same without him
but he stops the convoy on the way to Berlin if we're assuming he doesn't get involved then by all logic either marion would've died earlier or never escaped the tomb and it was only because of their intervention that the nazis ended up on the island
The nazis wouldn't have found Marion's bar if they didn't have Indy to follow. And if they can't find the bar - no medallion ... no medallion - no Ark. Anyway his mission was to find the Ark and take it to the US - which he did.
There are *TONS* of movies where the protagonist,accidentally or by ill-informed design,sets in motion the events that will eventually affect hundreds of people,many times for the worse...what makes them heroes is the amount of risk they take to set things right.

@@amierulbaharin765 Truth. They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix should have been more than an honorable mention. That was such a heartbreaking plot twist.
The Butterfly Effect was an awesome movie. (Surprisingly)
I think Candie would kill Schultz and Django anyway. The insistence was too suspicious
Peter Saints agreed. What stops him from killing them and the handshake would have been too sweet to pass up
Maybe he had a gun up his sleeve as well or some sort of poison way to shake his hand idk too many movies but there was something off about how he kept insisting
nah. i one of the frustrating traits of Candie was that everything he did was technically legal. He was basically untouchable because of this otherwise schultz would have just taken him out in the first place as a bounty hunter. Candie wouldn't kill them because he would want to maintain his image as a respectable businessman. That and it's more sadistic to let django and schultz leave knowing that there was nothing they could do about the horrible things Candie is guilty of.
You have a character from the movie Seven, and you put him at the sixth place? You failed me Mojo, you failed me.
in this context it works well honestly he really didn't make anything worse. IT just ended very badly
What about Billy from 'Gremlins' after feeding the little bastards after midnight?
What about 9, from 9 (2009)?
Yeah, I would say that getting most of your group killed is a pretty bad way to screw things up.
When you really think about it, Marty could have totally stood up to Doc. He could have been all "I'm taking this almanac with me. What are you gonna do, leave me here?" Yeah, yeah I know it's not in his character and it's a dick thing to do, I'm just saying.
Tony Stark in Age of Ultron didn't make the list?
Really. "Tony, don't mess with this thing, it can go Frankenstein on you." "Nah, don't worry." Ultron wakes up, busts loose and goes on a killing spree for the rest of the movie.
Just one of several major calamities Tony Stark creates.
Civil War, where Zemo wants to get revenge for the loss of his family in Sokovia and goes on a killing spree.
Winter Soldier, where Tony helps build the engines for the three Hydra helicarriers.
Even in his own films, where he decided to disband his military manufacturing business on the one hand causing major losses for shareholders and on the other putting a lot of people out of work, we can assume thousands of people relied on his company for a living since he is supposed to be a big name in the arms industry. Sure he stays independently wealthy but what about all of his staff?
MahsaKaerra Now that you mention Stark in other films, in Iron Man 3, didn't he announce his home address to the media, asking the bad guys to take him on? The first thing they did was to send a death plane and shoot his mansion to hell, also endangering Pepper Potts, who doesn't have an Iron Man suit handy. Yeah, he brought that shit storm on himself. Bad enough that he has no secret identity, but home address? Hey, genius, you can effortlessly design artificial intelligence, but can't figure out how old fashioned organic intelligence works?
+Hogen Mogen Precisely. Arguably the only film where Tony Stark _doesn't_ end up creating his own troubles is The Avengers. In IM1, considering his choice of career as a war profiteer and his being a genius at creating weapons, I'm surprised he didn't get kidnapped earlier. In IM2, he got attacked entirely because he just had to tell the world that he was Iron Man and flaunt his suits. In IM3, like you pointed out, he literally gave his home address to a bunch of terrorists. In AoU, he created a genocidal AI that nearly caused global extinction. Then, in CW, he helped split the team up by being way too hasty in signing a document that he didn't even read and he didn't even really believe in, seeing how he imeediately decided to ignore Ross's orders when he decided that he needed to do something that Ross wouldn't allow him to, thus invalidating his entire stance on the Accords.
Homer Simpson in The Simpsons Movie. "Oh! I cant do anything right!" *kicks the bomb*
That's actually a terrific #1 pick
I'm surprised Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars is not even put in the honorable mentions here.
He did a few things with good intentions that went bad in the long run.
Most of them happened in Episode 3 though, like executing the Jedi Order because he thought they were the evil of the universe.
Sure, he was blinded by Darh Sidious and his promises for Power, but still. He was a hero with good intentions doing things bad and turning the Galaxy for several decades into an Empire leaded by an Emporer and then into a stage of Rebellion with splinter groups of the old Empire fighting off Rebels.
Things could have gone better if he for example would have listened to his Mentor and all the Jedi Masters around him. And definitly not go mental because he became one of the Youngest Jedi Masters in Jedi History, but not becoming a member of the Council.
I think thorin from the hobbit because he made a war between dwarves, elves, men, and orcs
And that is why I will never understand why it is called the battle of the five armies
It was a war between men, elves, dwarves, and 2 armies of orcs
but thats the part that doesnt make sense. How can you have 2 armies if they are the same side? that would mean at a certain number it no longer counts as a army, but 2. If thats the case what number would that even be?
In the books the five armies are:men,dwarves and elves against goblins and wolves...in the movie its dwarves,men and elves against the orcs of Gundabad and the orcs of Dol Guldur
Yeah...and it's clearly based on Armes Prydain. A piece of Welsh poetry about The Britons (The Welsh), The Danes, The Scots and The Irish who fought together to stave off the initiall Saxon invasion of Britain.
J.R.R Tolkien loved the Welsh language also.
The Mist has got to be the single most fucked up ending in cinematic history.
The Butterfly Effect is very underrated.
No.... it's a guilty pleasure of mine, but it's got plot holes that no amount of time travel could fix
Homer Simpson from the Simpsons Movie maybe not be much of a hero but I think HE counts. Considering he went to dispose a silo filled with pig poo (from Spider-Pig) and dumped it somewhere he SHOULD`NT have: Lake Springfield,where the residents have just cleaned up the lake to rid it of it`s pollution and infestation and that all led to the entire town being encased in a giant glass dome and everyone lighting their torches and forming a mob when they found out Homer was the one responsible.
Love your lists!
the dude that killed his son in attempt of mercy should be at least top 3
"The Mist" arguably shouldn't be on this list. David did the only thing he could think of; he had no idea that salvation was so close. It's hardly "making things worse" if you reach wits end and do what looks like the humane thing.
Yes, but in the end could you live knowing you killed your own family? That was selfish. He made a choice for his family for them. If he was so sure of no salvation why did he choose to live? That's what gets me. It's been a long while since I've seen the movie so maybe I forgot something, but you just dont kill your own kid because times are hard and scary.
What's in the BOOOOOXXXXX ???!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
Another great video!

Where are the 97% of the main characters in hero movies?
Who's the other 3%?
Anna Fowdy 1% is the one who appear on this list, and the other 2% (with a 2% a error range) doesn't make anything wrong
Hola123 what are their names?
Anna Fowdy The name of?
Hola123 the characters that make up that 3%
There needs to be a second one with Star Lord in IW
didn't dr. shultz help django and improve his life?
I was soo pissed when he died at the end... loved that movie.
true. but he still shoulda been smarter in the end. just accept ur defeat, shake the guys hand and y'all go home happy.
He should have but it also showed how much compassion he had for slaves and how much he hated the way Calvin was treating Django, Broomhilda and the other slaves
Jonathan Gonzales yeah, his emotions got the best of him. he still made it way harder for Django and Hildy to escape. Shoulda finished his business there, and if it still bothered him, gone back and shot the place up.
j-dizzle time I think what bothered me most was that even though it seemed difficult, I think he & Django could have actually taken everyone out
That mist ending seriously hits my emotions everything just couldn't imagine it
how did dr.schultz make things worse.... his actions freed hundreds of slaves
True, but as far as Django's personal journey, it made things a lot more complicated and put him in much more risk when they'd already gotten what they came for.
Akuumuu
Yes, but in the long term he made things better. But I guess plot wise he maybe did.
Yeah, it's not about him making "everything" worse. He did make things worse for Django, but he for sure did more good through the movie overall, and it wasn't like he wanted to hurt Django.
He's one of my favorite characters ever. I loved seeing Waltz go from being a really bad guy in Inglourious Basterds, to playing such a badass good guy in Django.
Christoph Waltz is one of the most underrated actors ever. His characters in both Django and Inglorious Basterds were works of art.
I loved him in Tarzan, the way he reacts to Tarzan shouting out in the distance was hysterically hilarious undercutting the heavy atmosphere of the hostage situation with his wife tagging along: I expected it sound differently, as if he was putting down Tarzan.
Actually, it's Doc Brown that screwed things up in the first place with inventing the time machine. However, if he hadn't, we wouldn't have 3 amazing adventures...so there's that
If this was made after Infinity was came out...
I thought Calvin Candy had his own trick up his sleeve whenhe asked King Schultz. to shake his hand,I just didn't. trust him .I thought King Schultz just countered his scheme.
Django Unchained the bounty hunter was in the thumbnail so.... i did what you all did only came for that
Personally I blame the Magi for the Mummy.
"Instead of executing this traitor let's cast an ancient curse on him that turns him into an unkillable demon capable of taking over the world should he ever be released"
sounds like Davids are full of bad ideas
a good idea would be qui gon Jin in episode 1
All these old comments for Age of Ultron...HAH...little did they know! Remake today and Chris Pratt will be on there for allowing Josh Brolin to keep his gauntlet. Literally killed half a universe. #1 EZ.
but Bucky was in the half that died.
so it kind of evens out
Guhhh, the ending of The Mist makes me so angry!
Where the hell is Tony Stark in Age of Ultron?!?!?!?!? He should be on here at number 1
Nick Van Owen from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. His activist actions cost more lives than would have likely been lost. If he didn't bring the baby T. Rex to the trailer then the parents wouldn't have attacked and killed Eddie Carr. If he hadn't sabotaged Roland's shotgun then he would have been able to kill the T. Rex instead of being forced to tranquilize it, and if it hadn't been tranquilized then it wouldn't have been transported back to San Diego where it proceeded to King Kong the whole place.
homer simpson- the simpsons movie
Oh yeah. Considering he went to dispose a silo filled with pig poo (from Spider-Pig) and dumped it somewhere he SHOULD`NT: Lake Springfield,where the residents have just cleaned up the lake to rid it of it`s pollution and infestation and that all led to the entire town being encased in a giant glass dome and everyone lighting their torches when they found out Homer was the one responsible.
Left off some really obvious ones like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Neo from The Matrix (he created Agent Smith and only managed a temporary truce with the machines), Tony Stark form The Avengers 2, Captain Benjamin Willard from Apocalypse Now (seriously what do you think a crazed cult is going to do when it's leader gets killed), Harry Potter and Crew (got Hagrid back his job in the third movie who then continued being bad at his job and almost caused a huge incident in the 4th movie), Ellen Ripley (Blew up a ship and nuked a colony to destroy the Alien but failed to do so each time), general Maximus fro Gladiator (basically leaves the Roman Empire leaderless just so he could get revenge), Will Rodman from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Probably the king of doing more harm than good. He creates a virus which cures Alzheimer but also makes the gorillas it was tested on hyper intelligent. He prevents the death of the gorilla leader Caesar who eventually lead the apes in taking over the planet and subjugate the entire human race).
That's exactly why I hate Joy's character.
I actually liked the character. She was struggling and had no idea how to handle the situation. Eventually, she realized that the other Emotions, mainly Sadness, were just as important as her. And my favorite part of the film was watching Amy Poehler bring the character to life.
Seems this should have been split into 2 different lists.
Half of these aren't "heroes who made it worse" but "Heroes who caused the problem to begin with".
You can't say guys like Wreck-it Ralph, Evie, Marty or Joy made things worse, because they didn't make a problem worse, they created the actual problem and the rest of the movie is basically fixing a problem they themselves created, whereas the other examples are problems that occured either way and they simply inadvertently aided or added additional conflict to somehow.
aw I wanted to hear WHATS IN THE BOX
Tony Stark in Avengers Age of Ultron
True, Doc Brown could have saved everyone a LOT of grief had he not built it, but don't forget, he also wouldn't have met Clara, fallen in love, married, and had a loving family. Not to mention, that wouldn't have happened if Marty hadn't been there to rescue Clara.
Maybe in HIS eyes at least, it was all worth it.
The Mist it's all about faith. The guy lost his faith.
it was about stupidity actually
Expiation!!!!!
Homer Simpson in The Simpsons Movie (causes the whole town of Springfield to be trapped under a dome after polluting its lake),
Shrek in Shrek Forever After (gets tricked into signing a contract with Rumplestiltskin which result in him living in an alternate reality where his friends and even his wife Fiona don't recognise him and Rumplestiltskin rules Far Far Away with an iron fist),
Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Far From Home (gives Mysterio a dangerously enhanced weapon system after believing him to be his alley),
Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes (unintentionally allows his ape colony to get captured after abandoning them to find the colonel who killed his wife and older son),
Emmet in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (helps Rex Dangervest unintentionally cause Armamageddon)
and Tony Stark in Avengers: Age of Ultron (creates Ultron to be a peace-keeping program which backfires, resulting in Ultron wishing to annihilate humanity instead).
sooo a girl being sad or a dad shooting his kids. lol
It's not the crime, it's the roles. Joy can be seen as the hero AND villain of inside out
But Ralph is a bad guy, not a hero, not fit for even an Honorable mention.
Technically,he was forced to play the bad guy his whole life,but still,he didn't have to make dumb decisions that put others in danger!
Ray from Ghostbusters choosing Mr. Staypuff as the destroyer
that's what I was thinkin
Yeah
But I didn't think it was Gozer in that form.
also, i had to think long and hard about the avatar reference at the end. that was a pretty good catch on you, mojo.
jake sully's job wasnt to go there and work with the military, he was to fill his brothers shoes as a scientist/researcher. had he done this and only this, the fight on the na'vi most likely would've never got that bad. natiri's dad and the tree of souls got offed because he wanted to relive the soldier days then changed his mind. brilliant!
Spiderman in spiderman homecoming should be nr. 1
I loved how Johnny Utah threw his badge away at the end of POINT BREAK, like there was any chance of him being allowed to keep it.
What about Star lord in Infinity war.....He ruined everything.....😄
Vibish Lekshmanan And also David Jordan from the Sci-fi Horror movie Life, because he lured the alien Calvin into the escape pod, instead of leaving the alien to die on the station as it burns up in the atmosphere. The whole "take it into deep space" thing went wrong because Calvin ends up on Earth and possibly causes the end of the world, while Miranda ends up getting stranded in space.

how the hell did Harry Potter make things worse?
lol
he is the protagonist
I typed out a really long response to this comment, I then realised I wasn't even half done explaining the convoluted context that puts Harry on the list, but it is a fair Honorable mention, it is in reference to the 5th film, I suggest you go watch it, or better, read the book.

read the books, watched the films, still disagree
If he hadn't gone to the ministry of magic in order of the phoenix then Sirius wouldn't have come to save him and he wouldn't have died

Oz in Oz: The Great and Powerful
RJ in Over The Hedge
I think mr potato head should've been number 1, he treated woody like trash only because he knocked buzz out the window and unintentionally made things worse for buzz too!
damm number nine is fucked up
I was in my 30's when I first watched The Mist I balled my frigg'n eyes out.
I was just annoyed you don't do that to your family even when things seem hopeless they still had a chance and couldve had muCH less of a chamve even, dumb
Others you could include in the "Another" list.
Judy Hopps - Zootopia.
Blows the lid off of the savage sickness coverup, causing widespread civil unrest, which she fed into at the press conference since nobody ever told her she's allowed to say "I cannot comment at this time."
Obi-Wan Kenobe - Star Wars: A New Hope & The Emperor Strikes Back
Blatantly lied about Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader, missing multiple (and critical) opportunities to come clean about it, but for whatever reason choosing only to do so after Luke loses a hand (and even then, he's a defiant ass about it).
"By a certain perspective?!" ~Luke Skywalker
Benson - Bee Movie
Upset the balance of nature, literally almost killing all of it.
Batman - Justice League: Doom
Created detailed files on all the members of the Justice League and how to defeat them, just in case any of them went rogue. Said files instead end up in the hands of the villains.
9 - 9
Wakes up the Fabrication Machine, gets over half of the Stitchpunks killed.
Jay - Dogma
Shoots off Bartleby's wings, allowing him to transubstantiate to human, which was necessary for him to receive a plenary indulgence, gain entry into Heaven, and in effect, prove God wrong and negate all existence.
Wallace - Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
#1: The titular Were-Rabbit was a result of one of Wallace's bizarre inventions. #2: Wallace IS the Were-Rabbit.
We have shotted a small movie, it would be great if you look it. Thank you very much ☺
