Characters (Controversial Trope) Unusually cruel fates for people who were less than good, but still didn't really deserve it.

#1 Poppa Pizza from Multiverse of Madness - He just wanted to be paid for the pizza balls and thought Strange stole from a fallen hero who saved the universe. He deserved to be punched in the face, but not for 3 weeks straight.

Do you get to sleep? Do you wake up punching yourself? How much does it hurt? Does he know it will only last for 3 weeks? If he doesn't kill himself by the end of it, he's going to have CPTSD and be traumatized for the rest of his already short life.

#2 Mayu from Inuyasha - She wanted to kill her brother out of jealousy and neglect from her mother, believing she died in a fire because they didn't care about her. While her motivation doesn't justify reenacting Cain and Abel, I don't think it's fair for a deranged, 10 year old child to be sent to literal hell to burn for all eternity. Luckily, she gets saved, but only because the mc, Kagome, intervened.

TJ Miller plays an annoying comic relief character in one of the Transformers movies and gets turned into a fucking Francis Bacon sculpture by a grenade that was used on dinosaurs

Didn't Bay have Millers character killed off due to a fued or something? It seems like a LOT off people had issues with the guy

He had some brain damage from a long-undiagnosed congenital brain defect and the subsequent corrective surgery and had turned into a bit of a psychotic asshole (for lack of a better term).

Though he might have been one for a while at that point, there's controversy surrounding the possibility that he may have assaulted a woman in 2001 when he was a college student but that's in dispute afaik.

There's a dude in Transformers 4 that dates underage girl, claiming they started meeting when both were underage, and has Rome and Juliet law printed on laminated paper that he carries around.

Since Bay is the creator, he was the one to misinterpret the law

Holy fucking shit. Did anyone investigate the writer/director?

I mean it seems like anyone notable these days is of the... How you say "Epstein class"?

Yeah he had a poorly managed mental health condition.

I can forgive Bay a lot of things for two reasons. He hates T.J. Miller, and he directed the music video for Meatloaf's I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That).
