I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

The ending of se7en makes no sense. All the previous victims were murdered because they suffered from one of the seven deadly sins (gluttony, sloth, greed, lust, pride). But the final two victims - that supposedly would complete the list - did not suffer from these sins, but instead the perpetrators murdered them out of envy and wrath. Gwyneth did not suffer from envy, and Brad did not get murdered for his wrath.

Such a shame because the rest of the movie is great.

that ending was the very first draft of the film. there were multiple other ones but the directer was sent that one by mistake but loved it so much it stayed as that

That's really interesting! The ending is famous and otherwise well regarded, so the director probably made a good decision - even though I will always disagree :)

Brad suffered extremely for his wrath. As did spaceys character. (who was wrath all along in this movie.)

With envy you're right. Never thought of that. But the whats in the box scene is so very powerful I kinda never noticed. It is powerfully acted, directed, shot. It cemented the career of everyone who was involved, right there.
