Evil Ed is more annoying than Jar-Jar Binks


Anyone else agree?

reply

He is supposed to be but the kid from the remake is light years worse. Evil Ed from the original is essential.


Nothing is as it seems so I wouldn't judge by what you think you see.

What do you mean by "Essential"?

reply

Nope

Not at all. He's funny annoying, thats just his character. Jar-Jar Binks on the other hand is not the least bit funny and is by far one of the most hated characters in cinema history.

Evil Ed sure as hell doesn't make me wanna stick hot needles into my eyes and ears every time he's on screen.

I didn't want ed to die. I felt sad for him. Jar jar I wanted him to die a painful death. Every second of the movie.

I just can't stand Ed's voice or the way he talks. I understand there's characters that you're not supposed to like, but characters that make you actively hate what you're watching is a whole other level.

Unbearable. It hurt my ears, literally.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have felt this way for years and last night I introduced a friend to this film and all he kept complaining about was how annoying Ed was. He was clearly displeased with him and I'd done nothing to warn him about the character beforehand so it wasn't my own judgment coloring his.

reply

Nope. Evil Ed was hilarious.

reply

Agreed! I always loved Ed and thought he was really funny. The scene where Peter Vincent kills him is heartbreaking.

If he hadnt made such an impression on you then this thread wouldnt exsist.

Blew your mind, what I did right there, right?

When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.

reply

Omg thank you! I just re-watched this after many years and Evil is so annoying. The movie is really cheesy, but the sfx makeup is still on point! Evil made a better vampire than a character though.

reply

He was irritating but thankfully he didn't have as much screentime as the other characters so he didn't hurt the movie any.

reply

I found Ed endearing. It was sad in the alleyway when Jerry got him.

he was less annoying in the gay porn he did later on

True. However, having to hear that voice at the very end again... 
