Some classic movie villains are just having a bad day, had a tragic backstory, are trying to protect the people they love, are straight up following a contract, or just get attacked by the protagonist for no reason. On the other side, sometimes a fictional character is written or portrayed so well that they inspire genuine feelings of hate.

Just about everyone grew up watching the Simpsons, and the show remains a wonderful memory for many of us, up to somewhere around season 9. Here are some Simpsons facts, from ideas that got dropped, to obscure canon, to the real world inspirations for certain episodes. Here are some absurd moments of cartoon logic that make perfect sense.
Many of us have dreams of finding an old hat or something, taking it on Antiques Roadshow and finding out it was worn by Lincoln when he gave the Gettysburg Address. Not many of us think to treat it like a garage sale and bring in a flatscreen tv that was made during the Obama administration.

Nothing quite brings the blood rushing to the face like being called out on live TV for stealing. Yes, Ellen and her team's hidden cameras managed to catch some audience members very clearly not playing by the rules. Naturally, the ensuing moments of folks getting called out were filled to the brim with cringe.

That smiling anime guy lingers forever in the minds of anyone who grew up watching the title sequence of Malcolm in the Middle. It's from a 1998 anime called Nazca about people who find out that they're reincarnated souls of ancient warriors. Anyway here's smiling headband guy killing a dude with an umbrella.
It's hard to cover up every plot hole of a cartoon that is by definition supposed to not make sense anyway. Some of these are delivered with a wink and a nod by the creators themselves, and others just kinda seem lazy. Sometimes it goes deeper, like how Tumblr explained that the Power Puff Girls are supposed to be freaky handless monsters.
"The Expanse" definitely has an established fan base going. In this case, a fan of the show gets contacted by the prop master from "The Expanse." Amazingly, the prop master offers to send the fan some cool stuff from the show. It's stuff like this that just warms the heart. Don't even have to be a fan of the show to appreciate someone fulfilling another fan's dream.
Marvel's certainly seen stranger things evolve in its vast universe than some sort of unexpected "Red Guardian" origin story. Anyone who's enjoyed "Stranger Things" and is familiar with/enjoys Marvel will appreciate this crossover conspiracy theory from fans. Just imagine if Hopper was the Red Guardian. That'd be kind of dope.
There are worse ways to let down your family, but damn, getting a simple question so confidently wrong has gotta sting. Especially when she gets mocked by the host. Given that it's Family Feud Canada, she probably feels real sorry right about now.
Not saying we could do much better, but damn these guys are slipping and sliding all over the place. The whole thing is just one big panic. Remember, crime doesn't pay, especially if you're this bad at it.
