In no particular order:
- Avatar (James Cameron movie) - Part of it is that the humans are portrayed as doing what they do largely out of self-preservation, part of it is that humans actually make at least some efforts to be peaceful, and part of it is that the Navi are really unlikable.
- Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - So basically, the game's story is trying to be about how escapism is tempting but bad. Maybe it's the English translation, but the story does a pretty poor job at showing why escapism is actually a bad thing, and instead makes the protagonist look like a dick who wants to rob his friends of happiness for no particular reason.
- Jaws - Part of my feelings are due to the fact that I sympathize with IRL sharks. But ultimately, the shark's big crime in Jaws was being hungry in the ocean and fighting back against a boat of humans trying to kill it.
- Pokemon (anime) - Sometimes, you just want to see Team Rocket get some W's.
- Pokemon Ruby - Team Magma was right, Hoenn has too many boring water routes.
- Slasher Movies - Frankly, you don't watch these types of movies if you're unwilling to watch the villains perform horrible deeds upon the protagonists.
- Star Wars (prequel era stuff) - No, I do not want to root for the increasingly authoritarian government that uses slave armies and commits war crimes.
- You know the cereal Trix, with the rabbit mascot? They should give the rabbit his damn cereal.
