(#14) Aladdin
- Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, DuPont Show of the Month, Aladdin, The Arabian Nights: Adventures of Sinbad, Time Travel Tondekeman, Aladin, or the Wonderful Lamp, The Return of Jafar, The Desert Hawk, Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, Aladdin, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Aladdin and His Lamp, Thief of Damascus, Arabian Nights, Aladdin, Aladdin, Jr., Aladdin
The poor orphan boy gets the princess at the end of Aladdin and they live happily ever after until the sequel. The thing about Aladdin, though, is that he's actually quite terrible. He not only steals food, but he does so with gusto. He's trained a sweet little monkey to be his accomplice, he treats the genie like a slave, completely ignoring his sound advice to be honest with Jasmine - the 15-year-old girl he courts despite being 18 himself.
Aladdin does indeed lie to Jasmine repeatedly to trick her into falling for him and he coaxes the girl out of her room in the middle of the night. Ultimately, Aladdin gets everything he wants and all he has to do is lie, steal, and manipulate a minor.
(#2) Emily Weaver
- Crazy, Stupid, Love.
In Crazy, Stupid Love, Emily cheats on her longtime husband Cal with her coworker and the movie opens with her asking for a divorce. She has a mid-life crisis and that's tough but does she really deserve to get her husband back?
First of all, she somehow feels that she deserves to keep the house and kids in the separation, even though she's definitely the one who destroys the marriage. Besides that, cheating on your spouse when you have a family together is selfish. Plus, she toys with everyone's emotions by getting back together with Cal in the end.
Yes, it's an ending the audience wants but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the ending Emily deserves.
(#5) Seth
- Looper, Beauty & the Briefcase
To be fair, Seth is a high schooler and young people are often monsters, but he stands out. He's selfish, whiny, dumb, and super perverted. He puts Evan in actual danger on his quest to get alcohol and feels wronged when Evan has finally had enough.
Seth is a little horn ball but in the end he somehow lands Emma Stone's character. She's a pretty girl and a decent person so it doesn't add up. Hollywood loves to couple a great gal with a loser dude.
(#9) Clark Griswold
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Vegas Vacation, Vacation
In Vacation, Clark actually starts out as a good husband and father but by the end of the trip, he's done some pretty unforgivable stuff. First and foremost, he kills a dog by leaving it tied to the bumper of the car. Yes, it's an accident but it's disgustingly negligent, and a criminal offense. Then he flirts with the Ferrari girl while in the car with his family. Of course, he later goes skinny dipping with her and that's even worse. Somehow, Ellen just forgives him for this. Finally, he threatens a security guard at Walley World with a realistic-looking gun, forcing the man to take them through the park as he's become unhinged after the disastrous getaway.
Owner Roy Walley decides not to press charges against Clark out of sympathy and the Griswold family enjoys a lovely romp through the park. If Clark isn't going to be imprisoned for his crimes, Ellen should have left him in the desert.
(#11) Benjamin Barry
- How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Both Benjamin Barry and Andie Anderson (excellent character names, by the way) play some pretty shady games in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Anderson comes up with the idea to write an article by the titular name. To do so she has to toy with a man's feelings. However, the man she chooses is, fortunately, even more of a jerk because he is acting on a bet that he can make a woman fall for him in 10 days, after which he would presumably toss that woman aside.
In both cases, the casual manipulation of another person is appalling. One could make the argument that both main characters are terrible and thus neither deserves a happy ending or perhaps, that they actually do deserve each other because that way they each end up with a horrible partner.
(#8) Angel Clare
- Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Tess
Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a late 19th century drama that's been adapted a number of times, with one of the most recent being a four-hour BBC special starring Eddie Redmayne. In it, Tess Durbeyfield meets Angel Clare and the two fall for each other. However, when Tess reveals that she once had a child out of wedlock (a result of a heavily implied rape, in fact), Angel is disgusted that she's engaged in premarital sex, something which he has also done.
Later, Tess murders the man who raped her, and before she's hanged, she tells Angel to marry her sister. He agrees, waits for the black flag of the prison to rise signaling Tess's execution, and strolls away, hand-in-hand with Tess's sister. The story effectively challenges the morals of Victorian England, yet Angel isn't painted as a villain, while evidence suggests otherwise.
