They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character/Quotes
Well, thank you, movie. Thank you for ruining the only possibly cool character in this entire film. You've dashed my hopes yet again.—The Nostalgia Critic, in reaction to the easy defeat of a cool-looking white-faced ninja in 3 Ninjas.
Every time I watch a show, I get hooked on one particular character who isn't a main character. He or she only gets about one or two scenes per episode, and I watch while slowly and unconsciously ripping a hole out of the sofa pillow with my teeth, because it seems like only I can see the potential in this person that ISN'T being exploited!
The woman had sparks. Sparks of characters, sparks of ideas. She consistantly fails to live up to the potential; the only one so far that does has been In The Shadow of the Lion, on which she had two coauthors to keep her honest. I have more contempt for that than for lack of sparks, because she's wasted good characters - and now she sockpuppets them to soothe her conscience. Not impressed.
