The term was first used to describe Duryadhan, Ravana, Priam et all.
But over the years, the list has been filled with other distinguished luminaries like the French Army of the last 4000 years, the Inca kings Huascar and Atahualpa, the Bong King Laxman Sen, anyone in the path of Genzhis Khan, Guy of Lusignan (King of Jersusalem who got spanked by Saladin), Louis XVI, the Japanese numbnut who ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Arsenal defence etc.
But now, an addition has made made in this creme-de-la-creme of awfulness.
I am talking of Potter8, the undisputed king, nay emperor of horrible series endings.
Make no mistake about it, there have always been bad series endings: Spiderman 3, Jurassic Park 3, Indy 4 and of course the last one of the Matrix.
But forget the cake, HP8 takes the whole bakery when it comes to sucking.
For some mysterious reason, they (the movie people) decided that the story wasn't cool enough.
So they cut out the best 2 scenes of the whole series from their movie (am talking abt Potter coming out when Prof McGonagell gets slapped...and Neville's grandmother coming and declaring how proud she is of him)
They leave out Fred's death, completely mess up Snape's death, totally ignore Hagrid's giant brother and Kreacher....but somehow find time to create a totally ridiculous scene involving Neville on that bridge.
The emotion you got while reading about Molly Weasley's battle with Bellatrix was one of jaw-dropping surprise and pleasure. The feeling you got from watching the same scene in the movie was one of meh.
And the less said about Ron Weasley's expression at the epilogus (yes I made up the word, live with it) scene of the movie, the better.
The movie had 1 positive though.
It ended.
