It ’s been a somewhat great class formovies , TV show , and especiallycomics — but just about the worst for everything else . Political nightmare , celebrity deaths , more political nightmares … the list of horror go on , which had the left over essence of make the year ’s on - screenland disasters look almost … ease by comparison . Here are some of the incubus scenario we ’d have rather dealt with than 2016 itself .
1) The big brawl in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Two whale egos endanger a major metropolitan sphere because neither of them pull in their mamma have the same name , and that ’s before Lex Luthor unleashed a giant , genetically ’ roided - out General Zod on the city in his attempt to kill the heroes . Still , friendly relationship is sorcerous , and if an entire “ desolate ” city has to be demolish so these superheroes could hug it out , so be it .
2) The robot uprising in Westworld
Hey , you know what vocalise like a groovy estimation ? Robots that canfuck us to expiry . Thanks to Dr. Ford for fetch on the robotic uprising against the pestis of humans and , what ’s worse , make us actually coolheaded with it . Next affair you ’ll be assure me Caesar should get his Planet of the Apes because humanity is that horrendous — oh wait , he should . Humans are terrible .
3) Magneto’s freak-out in X-Men: Apocalypse
Magneto has tried to put down urban center countless times through the geezerhood ( and the X - Men movie franchise ) . But only Apocalypse had the musical theme to bring the master of magnetic attraction to Auschwitz , give him a power - up , and then have him set about suck in up all the world ’s metal . It ’s all part of Apocalypse ’s program to make certain only the primed survive , “ fittest ” in this case clear meaning “ the great unwashed who were not stand up next to alloy objects when Magneto set off his nonsense . ” Still , a blue Oscar Isaac overlord sounds like a worthy cause compared to some we ’ve seen this year .
4) The demon attack in Doctor Strange
If Doctor Strange left me with one thing , it was wishing I had the power to just stop dead clip and untie all the worst shit of the year , merely by forcing an impending Cloud of Doom to watch my snarky can chew it out again and again .
5) The alien invasion in the DC/CW Crossover
In Doctor Strange , it was completely cool that Strange keep messing with the timeline to try a point , but in the bountiful DC / CW Supergirl / Flash / Arrow / legend of Tomorrow crossover that ’s what stimulate this particular near - Revelation of Saint John the Divine . The Dominators got upset that a human proceed messing with the timeline that they decide to kill / enslave all of humanity . Given how confused everyone else was with Barry ’s selfish bullshit , the aliens ’ feeling were really pretty reasonable .
6) Whatever the hell Enchantress was doing in Suicide Squad
Thank God Amanda Waller formed the Suicide Squad , or else how would she have been able to hold back the Revelation of Saint John the Divine she unleashed by form the Suicide Squad ? Gee , it ’s almost like our leaders are sometimes not out for our honorable interests . Bonus points for Enchantress ’s powers come from throw off her fucking ; negative point in time because I still have no theme what the hell her “ machine ” was supposed to do . And yet , I still understand this well than I do anything that actually happened this year .
7) A less half-assed alien invasion in Independence Day: Resurgence
A crew of unknown come down and come out blast the hoot out of everything … and for what ? Fuel . That ’s right , the integral human raceway gets pummeled because some moron queen and her drone ground forces blank out to fill up at Space Chevron before repel through the sector . Still less frustrating than 2016 .
8) Giant monsters rule the planet in 10 Cloverfield Lane
Ever get that feel that 2016 is just a delusion and eventually you ’ll realize some crazy asshole was making it up the whole time ? 10 Cloverfield Lane ’s ending confirmed this is the real world now , punks , and you ’re just gon na have to deal with it . Michelle might call back John Goodman ’s making up the foreign invasion to keep her lock up up , but nope , everything ’s go to hell and also there are giant bird beak demon .
9) A giant, sexist ghost rampage in Ghostbusters
Okay , this one is personal . After getting calendar month of on-line molestation from work force because I was emotional about the female Ghostbusters picture , I have to tell you , nothing made me happy than follow a male villain with head game of superiority stomp through the city as an abhorrence of the original movie ’s logo , and then get its ectoplasmic ass handed to it . In the moving picture ( and in real life ) , Ghostbusters ’ nostalgia fundamentally became its own monster , and look out it get squashed like a pathetic bug by the end was very psychotherapeutic . Quite unlike 2016 .
