81. Conversation with Sovereign
Origin: Mass Effect (2007)
Nominated by: Anagram (3/4 remaining)


So, here's a scene I was super conflicted with. In the full context of the game, this scene is a huge plot twist that changes everything you know about Saren, his ship, and the Reapers' role in everything. It's a scary revelation to be sure, and Sovereign's intimidating voice and stature makes sure the player is aware of the gravity of the situation. Yet, the direction of this scene is so goddamn boring. The character expressions are about as lively as a department store mannequin, and though the player may buy Sovereign's threat, Shepard and crew look like they'd rather be anywhere else. Everyone stands around stiff as a board while the most intense dialogue ever is rattled off, and it's a tone ruiner. In the moment, as a player, it's something you don't really notice as you focus on making your dialogue choices, but as an outside viewer, the weaknesses unfortunately start to shine through, and makes the scene lose a little of its bite.

82. One dies
Origin: Star Trek: Voyager (Drone S5E2, 1998)
Nominated by: redrocket (3/4 remaining)


This is very similar to the Agents of SHILED scene, not in that it's really bad or anything, but the full emotional impact of knowing these characters for a long time is quite lost on someone who has never seen the series. In fact, I would say the acting is particularly good here and sells Seven and One's relationship quite well in just a few words and glances. I like the make-up and effects used too. The camera work is perhaps a little flat but there's not much you can do with a scene like this anyway. If I knew the show better, this maybe would've ranked a little higher, but alas, without knowing the full consequences of this scene, it's ultimately something that I just watch and then forget about it shortly after.

This trope is very similar to Fragile Speedster, though Deoxys didn't win that one, it was Sonic.

83. Skye Shoots Ward
Origin: Agents of SHIELD (What They Become S2E10, 2014)
Nominated by: Murphiroth (3/4 remaining)


In a universe where I cared more about this show, perhaps this scene becomes a little more impactful for me. However, based on what little I've watched, the context provided, and how much I don't care about ether character in season 1, this scene comes off just about as dry as a man dropped off in the middle of the Sahara Desert with an empty water bottle in hand. The editing is frankly choppy and doesn't really illustrate the scene very well, and I sense zero chemistry between the two despite them supposedly being former lovers and Ward betraying Skye. Chloe needs way more anger in her "Never turn your back on the enemy" line, and also wow, what a generic and impersonal thing to teach someone. There's also something really goofy about Ward's facial expression after being shot. This is a scene of mismatched pieces that have the potential for something greater, but it just keeps fumbling at every possible opportunity.

84. Stelio Kontos
Origin: American Dad (Bully for Steve S5E16, 2010)
Nominated by: Pirateking2000 (3/4 remaining)


This scene encapsulates a style of humor that doesn't really appeal to me anymore. It's too blunt and too obvious, and frankly bland that lacks any sort of wit or cleverness. At its pure essence, it's merely a slapstick scenario without any real craft or clever set-up/payoffs that make that type of comedy typically so enjoyable. It's one man getting beat up over and over again and the animation is way too weak to carry any sort of weight or damage progression for something like this. I have also never really liked that cliche operatic vocal accompaniment trope. I can't really explain it, it just feels stupid. It's not that I really expected more from this scene considering the source material, but just a little more craft and care goes a long way.

85. Brent Attack
Origin: The Mystery of the Druids (2001)
Nominated by: PumpkinCoach (2/3 remaining)


I pretty much knew this would be the last place spot just from the thumbnail alone. Anyone will tell you that from first glance that these graphics are god damn hideous, especially the character models. The backgrounds might trick you into thinking they are nice at first, until you realize how empty, lifeless and tacky everything is, with the ugliest shade of red I've ever seen definitely not helping things along. After getting one of the most hideous close-ups in existence, this John Constantine looking motherfucker "barges" in and delivers one of the most hilariously awkward slaps ever before we get more close-ups, non-stop barrage style, that make it so hard to take anything in the scene seriously. Both Brent and the woman look like they're having diarrhea attacks. If that wasn't enough, the voice acting here makes the original Resident Evil seem competently performed!

I could see the argument for this being "so bad it's good", but honestly I wasn't really getting that here personally. It's just a pure pile of crap in my eyes!

- The first time I played through DMC1 & 3, I used Easy Automatic
- My first time playing through the Resident Evil series, I wasn't able to beat Code Veronica because of the Steve boss.
- Selling many of my PS1, GameCube, & PS2 games when I got my X360 because I didn't think I was going to play them anymore. Got most of them back though, and thank god I didn't get rid of any my horror games with how expensive they are now!
