Cinematic Comic Characters Ranked! (Year 2010) Part I
We’ve reached a decade of lists! To be honest the year 2010 was one of the weakest years when it came to decent comic movies but there were still some good ones! We get two sequels with Iron Man 2 and Predators and the debut of Kick-Ass, The Losers, Jonah Hex, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and one of the worst movies in cinema, The Last Airbender. Without any more delay here’s #74-51!
*SPOILER ALERT FOR ALL MOVIES HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE*
Cameo Appreciation: Stan Lee (Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2)
In his first cameo that ISN'T a Marvel movie, Stan Lee graces us with his presence in Kick-Ass. It's nothing fancy, he's just seen watching the news, but the fact he agreed to show up is hilarious and super fun. He shows up where he rightfully belongs in Iron Man 2. Like the movie before it, Tony Stark mistakes Stan Lee as a celebrity although this time it's Larry King.
Cameo Appreciation: Peter Parker (Iron Man 2)
Even though it started out as a fan theory, it was later confirmed that little Peter Parker made his MCU debut in Iron Man 2 instead of Captain America: Civil War. He's only a kid but his bravery against bad guys shows early on as he tries to stand up to one of the drones attacking the Expo with his Iron Man costume. Iron Man shows up just in time to really defeat the drone and it would mark the first, but not the last, time Tony Stark comes to Peter's rescue.
Cameo Appreciation: Princess Azula (The Last Airbender)
Towards the end of the film, Firelord Ozai is upset for many reasons. Commander Zhao was killed and his fleet retreated from the Northern Father Tribe, his brother betrayed him and is now a traitor to the country, and his son continues to dishonor him in his eyes. His solution? Release Pincess Azula, one of the greatest villains to appear on the small screen. With the new rules the film has to firebending I wonder how they would explain her blue flames or her lightning bending, but it's for the best that we'll never find out.
74. Adleman Lusk (Jonah Hex)
"It appears the bells are finally ready to toll on Washington."
A corrupt politician working for Turnbull, who basically slaps him around to get what he wants. Once their deal is finished Lusk mentions that if Turnbull were to fail, he'd die. Naturally Turnbul assures him that won't be a problem and kills him right then and there instead.
73. Haru and the Imprisoned Earthbenders (The Last Airbender)
*throws pebble*
Probably one of the biggest disappointments was the prison scene with little Haru and and the other earth benders. Their prison was literally surrounded by earth and yet they couldn't take out the few guards watching them? It took an eleven year old to point out 'Hey, there's rock under your feet!' for them to realize they could've broke out whenever they wanted? Haru's hair was flawless though.
72. Kanna (The Last Airbender)
"He will begin to change hearts, and it is in the heart that all wars are won."
Besides her whiteness, I didn't mind Kanna. She wasn't a big role in the show so there really wasn't a lot of material you could mess up with her. She cares about Katara and Sokka and believes it's their duty to join the Avatar on his mission.
71. Senator Stern (Iron Man 2)
"Funny how annoying a little prick can be, isn't it?"
This guy did not like Tony Stark but only because Tony wouldn't put America first and hand over his suit to the U.S. government. He starts a smear campaign against the Tony the entire film so when Tony saves the day it only makes sense that he forces Stern to be the one to give him his military award.
70. Smith (Jonah Hex)
"You get uglier every time I see you."
I liked Smith, thought he was a bit random, but I liked him. He's the one who's made all the bad ass weapons Jonah flaunts around throughout the movie. He likes working with Jonah and holds no ill will to him despite Jonah serving for the Confederate Army. Him and his two boys are present in Washington when Turnball launches his attack, but laughs it off once Jonah defeats him.
69. Dragon Spirit (The Last Airbender)
"You must show them the power of the ocean."
Ok so this dragon spirit was supposed to somehow guide Aang on his quest but for some reason was telling him to do the exact things in the show that nearly destroyed him and other people. Perfect example? Telling him to create the huge tidal wave against the fire nation. That's not how it went and it was also super weird that he showed up during Aang mourning for Monk Gyatso but it wasn't the biggest mistakes this movie made.
68. Lieutenant Grass (Jonah Hex)
"We want Turnbull dead."
Lieutenant Grass is sent by the President to find Jonah and hire him to take out Turnbull before the other can create his ultimate weapon and attack Washington. Since Turnbull killed his family Jonah easily accepts, but fails to take him out. This leaves Grass as Washington's only defense but he's easily killed by Turnbull's weapon.
67. Master Pakku (The Last Airbender)
"Water benders! Prepare for battle!"
Because of the time constraints, Master Pakku was reduced to more of a background character who taught Aang and Katara how to water bend and who led the Northern Water Tribe to battle against the Fire Nation. Because of this we don't get to see his misogynistic views on female waterbenders and we alos don't know of his love for Kanna, Katara and Sokka's grandma.
66. Sergeant Marcus Williams (Kick-Ass)
"You owe that girl a childhood."
A minor character in the film, Marcus was Big Daddy's partner when he was a cop and took care of Hit-Girl when he was in jail. Because of this, he cares for her well being and vocally does not approve of Big Daddy turning her into a killing machine instead of being a regular child. Still, he's always helping his friend and even becomes Hit-Girl's guardian after Big Daddy dies.
65. Julie Powers (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)
"Stay away from Ramona Flowers!"
Like most girls in the movie, Julie hated Scott but not because she dated him, but because he would date her 'friends' and then they'd leave after they broke up. She's specifically talking about Envy and because of their breakup tries to prevent Scott from dating Ramona. However she seems to forget all about them once Envy comes back to town, who totally doesn't see her as a friend.
64. Agent Coulson (Iron Man 2)
"If you try to escape, or play any sort of games with me, I will taze you and watch "Supernanny" while you drool into the carpet."
Agent Coulson comes back briefly to keep on eye on Tony after his drunk disaster at his birthday party. He's probably only with him for two days tops before Nick Fury reassigns him to New Mexico, where he finds the mighty Mjolnir in the middle of a crate. So, obviously, Coulson was only plugged in to tease the next Marvel movie, Thor.
63. Kyle and Ken Katayanagi (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)
*summons twin dragons*
Even though the Katayanagi twins are the 5th and 6th exes to go up against Scott and should be really strong, they don't really leave a lasting impression. They're able to summon dragons out of their electronic music but with the Sex Bob-Ombs helps, Scott is able to blast these two away with little trouble.
62. Cuchillo (Predators)
"I unleash."
Cuchillo was a powerful drug lord before he was taken by the Predators to be their prey. He talked a big game with his two machine guns, but he did seem older and slower than the rest of the group. He's the first one to go when the Predators unleash their hounds on the group. We don't see him go, but we do see the Predators try to fool the group into a trap with his corpse and pre-recorded pleas.
61. Monk Gyatso (The Last Airbender)
"I won't let them take you, Aang."
I had no problem with Monk Gyatso being black. The Air Nomads aren't technically a nation so, to me, it's fine if their ethnicity is ambiguous. He's Aang's mentor and the closest he has to a father figure. Finding out he can't be with him as the Avatar is what prompts Aang to runaway in the first place, saving him when the Fire Nation arrives and kills Monk Gyatso and the rest of the Air Nomads.
60. Ulysses S. Grant (Jonah Hex)
"This country could use a sheriff."
When the President finds out Turnbull is alive and well, he realizes the man's potential for destruction and declares him a threat to the country. He figures the only one capable of stopping him is Jonah and assigns him the task of killing Turnbull and his men. He mostly stays in the background worrying about Turnbull until Turnbull attacks Washington in the middle of his speech. When Jonah stops him, President Grant offers him a job as the country's sheriff. Jonah declines but they still manage to part on good terms.
59. Stans (Predators)
"If we ever make it home, I'm going to do so much fucking cocaine."
I feel like every movie has to have at least one guy that you just can't for them to die. Stans was that guy. A prisoner on death row, Stans was a really twisted guy who's idea of fun was incredibly questioning. He didn't add anything useful to the group but at least when he was killed it was out of an act of selflessness? His death was the most brutal, which was his spine and skull being ripped out of his body.
58. Stacey Pilgrim (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)
"Wallace? Again?"
Anytime Scott does something stupid his little sister Stacey finds out thanks to Wallace who likes to gossip to her. She's so focused on trying to get Scott busted for dating Ramona and Knives at the same time when she needs to focus her energy on Wallace, who keeps stealing her boyfriends.
57. Marty, Todd, and Erika Cho (Kick-Ass)
"You guys never saw 'One Night in Spider-Man'?"
Marty and Todd are Dave's best friends while Erika is friend's with Katie. The trio didn't start hanging out until Dave and Katie started dating. They're a bunch of regular teenagers that take every opportunity to joke around and have fun. While Marty develops a crush on Hit-Girl, Todd and Erika actually become a couple at the end of the film.
56. Jeb Turnbull (Jonah Hex)
"He was my father! I didn't have a choice!"
Jeb didn't dared disobey his father so when Jonah, his best friend, did, he had no choice but to take him out. Unfortunately for him, Jonah is quicker and has a better shot. Jeb then spends the days of his afterlife watching as his best friend and his father go down their own paths of darkness. When he gets over the fact that Jonah killed him, he decides to help him take down his father once and for all.
55. Roxanne 'Roxy' Richter (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)
"Well I'm just a little bi-furious!"
Roxy is the 4th ex Scott has to battle and the only girl Ramona has dated. She's able to teleport via smoke and owns a pretty deadly belt whip. Ramona has to help Scott take her down since Scott won't fight a girl and Roxy ends up dying from...an orgasm? Turns out the back of her knee is one of her sensitive spots.
54. Matthew Patel (Scott Pilgrim vs The World)
"Pirates are in this year!"
Matthew is Ramona's 1st ex, therefore being Scott's first opponent. His mystic powers involve fire but it doesn't help him much as he's the only ex Scott fights that loses to just him alone. Even the coins Scott's rewarded isn't good enough to get Scott a bus fare, while all the other exes have rewards in the thousands.
53. Mombasa (Predators)
"I'm ready to die. Are you?"
I liked Mombasa. He didn't back down from confrontation and had a sense of honor to him that quickly left him respected among the others in the group. It's a shame that he was the one that died due to Royce's plan because it wasn't a quick death as several spikes shot out and through his body.
52. Commander Zhao (The Last Airbender)
"The Fire Nation's power will not succumb to childhood superstitions!"
With Firelord Ozai becoming a more featured character in the film, a lot of the twisted things that made Commander Zhao so hated in the show wasn't shown in the movie. Zhao just appeared as another lackey and not a dangerous person with no respect for the spirits and a thirst for power that makes him unstable. Killing the moon spirit wasn't even his idea in the film. It also bugged me that instead of the water spirit taking revenge on Zhao, he's taken out by some random waterbenders.
51. Wade Travis (The Losers)
"I was born in Quebec."
Wade was Max's lackey. I thought he was going to be a threat but he didn't really do anything intimidating except for when he threw that guy over the building. He fails at protecting Max's money and when it looks like he's going to do something cool in a motorcycle, Cougar takes him out in an explosion.
