Superheroes

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-comic-book-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Women in comics</a> have been a staple since the beginning, but they&#39;ve often taken a back seat to their male counterparts. Comic book publishers have tried to correct the imbalance between male and female superheroes in many different ways, both creating original characters and inventing gender-bended iterations of male heroes.

Gender-bending in comics has not always been met with enthusiasm, but there are quite a few characters who have managed to step out of the shadows of their male forbears and reinvent&nbsp;the idea of what a hero can&nbsp;be. Some gender-swapped&nbsp;characters have become equally, if not more, popular than the original incarnations. For instance, Carol Danvers is now better known as Captain Marvel and is more popular than the original&nbsp;Mar-Vell Others have fostered a smaller but fiercely dedicated fanbase.

2010s:  A Decade at the Movies

The Best of the 2010s

The millennium is finally moving out of its awkward teen years and into the 2020s, but there are some rough memories that will continue to plague this decade for years to come. While superheroes and art-horror headlined the decade&#39;s cinema, there are quite a few films that will be remembered for how little impact they had on the box office. Not every movie can be a hit, but this decade saw some pretty big flops limp their way into - and quickly out of - theaters.

Some of these movies will be remembered for being box office failures of historic proportions;&nbsp;others underperformed so badly that they changed the course of major franchises forever. Even some&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/notorious-flops-that-made-money/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">movies that managed to make their money back</a> are considered huge flops, as film budgets don&#39;t necessarily account for other costs like marketing.

A good chunk of these films will likely be forgotten in time, existing as little more than answers to obscure 2010s trivia questions. These are the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/box-office-flops-from-your-birth-year/michelle-nati?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">biggest movie flops</a> of the 2010s, and their box office failures will largely define their historical legacy.

Kings & queens, princes & princesses. They're made of blood and bones like the rest of us, but they're told they can do whatever they damn well please. Sometimes, this causes problems.

Royal Pains

When most people picture a dictator, the first thought that comes to mind is usually of a strongman in military regalia. Seldom does one picture a dictator as a woman, and for good reason. There really hasn&#39;t been a female dictator in the modern sense of the word, but that doesn&#39;t mean that powerful women throughout history have never ruled with an iron fist. In fact, some of the most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-historical-queens/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">famous queens</a> and female rulers in history have committed cruelties on par with their male counterparts.

Oppression is one of history&#39;s most depressing constants, and absolute power is known to corrupt absolute. Queens are not immune to this truth, as evidenced by the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-royal-marriages/setareh-janda" target="_blank">ruthless reigns</a>&nbsp;of history&#39;s most cruel queens. These are the worst <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-historical-queens/mallory-weiler?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">queens in history</a>, who between them are charged with unnamable atrocities.

Gaming

The last decade saw huge innovations sweep the gaming world,&nbsp;from the refinement of VR to the pioneering of cloud gaming services. However, not every release was an instant&nbsp;success. The decade was also filled with missteps and blunders from some of the biggest names in gaming, and it appears no developer was immune to fan ire. Delays, microtransactions, and buggy gameplay drove gamers to the brink on numerous occasions, with massive social media backlash forcing some developers to apologize for their games.&nbsp;

Here are the gaming mistakes that defined the decade, the ones that future developers will look at when navigating the storms of controversies to come.&nbsp;Witness the blunders that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-bethesda-mistakes-in-company-history/robert-carnevale" target="_blank">nearly toppled studios</a>&nbsp;and tarnished the names of beloved&nbsp;franchises.&nbsp;

Rick lives in a world of high stakes and high rewards, and he&#39;s definitely <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rick-and-morty-characters/greg-hahn" target="_blank">open to cracking a few eggs</a> in order to make his science-omelette. The ends always justify the means in Rick&#39;s mind, even if the means end up destroying entire planets in the process.&nbsp;

Throughout the series, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/rick-and-morty-doofus-rick-fan-theory/eric-vega" target="_blank">Rick</a> has done a lot of objectively horrible things. He&#39;s not known for beating around the bush or being subtle about his opinions, and his actions speak even louder than his words. Sometimes he can be a bit passive-aggressive though, so he&#39;s not above being low-key in his debauchery either. He&#39;s open to casually exploiting an entire universe at once&nbsp;or even cloning his loved ones and exploiting them. This is a breakdown of Rick&#39;s most low-key cold-blooded acts in&nbsp;Rick and Morty, ranked by how subtly evil they are.&nbsp;

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Hobbits are curious creatures. They spend most of their time sleeping, eating, and enjoying the simpler comforts. It&#39;s not often that a hobbit gets into mischief, but it&#39;s been known to happen from time to time. Every once in a while, a stranger will arrive in the Shire looking for a companion on some great adventure. Most hobbits would shut the door in their face, but some are more adventurous than they may first appear.&nbsp;

It goes without saying that some hobbits are much handier than others. Not content just to sit at home tucking into multiple breakfasts, these handy hobbits jump at the chance to help an ally on a quest. Some are perfect helpers, cooking and cleaning to their heart&#39;s content. Others are proven warriors, able to slay any foe who is foolish enough to underestimate them. The best of them possess an unshakeable loyalty. These are the hobbits that you would want at your side when darkness threatens the world.&nbsp;

Movie criticism is a complicated art. A lot of hard work goes into even the worst films, and sometimes you can really tell. There are absolute garbage fires of movies that are still able to impress their audiences with dazzling special effects that are way ahead of their time. Stunt people and camera operators are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty for films that barely make their budgets back, and there&#39;s something amazing about that.&nbsp;

While these movies might not be the cream of the crop, their amazing special&nbsp;effects have managed to make them relevant long past their expiration date. Marvel at these B-movie visuals because they are surprisingly out of this world.

World War II

There are few historical eras with as many movies about them as WWII. It was one of the bloodiest&nbsp;events in human history, and storytellers have been exploring this period since before the conflict&nbsp;was even over. Countless actors have stepped into the shoes of the Allied and Axis leaders, with some performances being more memorable than others. Even still, there are some actors living today who would be perfectly cast in a new WWII film.

If budgets and schedules weren&#39;t a factor, what would a dream casting of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-influential-people-of-the-second-world-war/mwahahahaha" target="_blank">the most influential WWII leaders</a> look like? There are tons of talented actors who&nbsp;could play the parts, but only a few who could truly embody the personalities of Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler. All of these actors are alive today, so we can fantasize that they might actually come together to make the greatest WWII film of all time.&nbsp;

Nobody likes to get stung, especially by a Queen Bee. They are often the most popular and powerful people in high school, and getting on their good side is a goal for many wannabe cool kids. Most Queen Bees rule with an iron fist, using lies, manipulation, and outright viciousness to get what they want. Queen Bees are often vindictive, and their bad side should be avoided at all costs.&nbsp;

Not all Queen Bees are the same&nbsp;though. Countless actors have portrayed Queen Bees on film, and each brought her own&nbsp;unique spin to the long-established trope. At this point, there are almost too many Queen Bees to remember them all. Who should&nbsp;be remembered as the ultimate Queen Bee, and who should be deposed?

History is full of amazing women who have overcome enormous odds to do something truly triumphant. However, it&#39;s relatively rare to see monuments that celebrate the achievements of women, especially history&#39;s female warriors. But they do exist.

Throughout the world, you can find monuments and statues of&nbsp;some of the most amazing women in history. Figures like&nbsp;Joan of Arc, Boudica, and Hua Mulan have all had their deeds permanently memorialized in monuments that are as impressive as the women themselves.

While these monuments might not be all that well known, they deserve a turn in the&nbsp;spotlight for their craftsmanship and historical importance. These are some of the coolest statues and monuments dedicated to female warriors across the world.

Horror movies are often described as a &quot;guilty pleasure&quot; and rarely make a splash when award season comes around, which is really unfair. There are plenty of horror movies that are absolute critical darlings, changing the way we think about fear and the world.

A lot of work goes into the worldbuilding of historical and fantasy properties, as it&#39;s one of the most important aspects of these movies and shows. You need to believe the world in order to drop in as an audience member, and a small thing like a random water bottle or car in the background can really take you out of the moment. Some of the biggest properties in history have made these mistakes. And unfortunately for them,&nbsp;in this modern internet age, it was noticed.&nbsp;

A closer look at the scariest, goriest, and most suspenseful films that defined the genre in the 2010s decade.

2010s Horror: Decade of Dread

Graveyard Shift

Looking back at the 2010s, it&#39;s hard to ignore the impact that horror movies had on the decade. In a landscape dominated by big-budget blockbusters, relatively small-budget horror films began to break out all over the cinematic landscape. It has&nbsp;also been a decade of horror nostalgia, and many scary movies of the last 10 years didn&#39;t actually take place in the 2010s. This was true of both <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/2024-indie-horror-movies/jason-bancroft?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">indie horror films</a> and bigger-budget movies, like&nbsp;IT&nbsp;(2017), which became one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies of all time.&nbsp;

Some of these films came from first-time directors, launching their careers into the stratosphere overnight. Others came from the twisted minds of well-established filmmakers. From the 17th-century Massachusetts wilderness to the scorching&nbsp;Summer of &#39;84, these are all of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-horror-films-ever-made?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best horror films</a> of the decade that took place in the past.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

It&#39;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia&nbsp;is officially the longest-running live-action sitcom in television history. That&#39;s pretty impressive for a show that&#39;s never won an Emmy and frequently addresses the existence of &quot;toe knives.&quot;

That&#39;s especially true of horror films, as the dim lighting and constant suspense can throw even the most astute viewer off their game.

Old West

They don&#39;t make Westerns like they used to. Much like the Wild West itself, the production of Western movies has largely&nbsp;faded away since the genre&#39;s golden age, which lasted from&nbsp;the 1940s through&nbsp;the 1960s. However, that doesn&#39;t mean <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-00s-western-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">Western films</a> stopped being made once Monument Valley stopped being the location du jour.

The tradition of the Western continued to live on - and does&nbsp;so to this day. The spirit of the West was simply transplanted to small 20th-century towns, the Australian wilderness, Iranian ghost towns, and&nbsp;even post-apocalyptic wastelands. These films&nbsp;take instantly recognizable elements of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-western-movies-ever-made?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Old West movies</a> and simply take them out of the West, often blending them with&nbsp;other genres and settings no 19th-century cowboy would ever recognize. Some of the best &quot;Westerns&quot; in this vein don&#39;t take place in the West at all. The genre has proven just as malleable from a temporal standpoint, with Westerns popping up in every era, including those yet to come.

Gotham City

Gotham City isn&#39;t just a location on a map; it&#39;s a character as rich and storied as the Dark Knight himself. Through&nbsp;the decades, Gotham has evolved and transformed to reflect the different eras and artistic tastes of comic book creators. It&#39;s always been plagued by villains, but you can feel the unique quirks and differences between the Gothams of&nbsp;different eras.&nbsp;

The variations in Gotham&#39;s aesthetics are perhaps most distinct in the many onscreen adaptations of Batman, where filmmakers&#39; various styles have a massive influence on the city&#39;s appearance. Joel Schumacher&#39;s films are filled with as much pop and color as a comic book, while Nolan&#39;s gritty Gotham feels like a real city in our own world.

Note: No spoilers for&nbsp;El Camino.

The ending of&nbsp;Breaking Bad&nbsp;may have left Jesse Pinkman&#39;s fate open-ended, but the 2019 Netflix original film&nbsp;El Camino&nbsp;aims to bring a sense of closure to Jesse&#39;s story. Written and directed by&nbsp;Breaking Bad&nbsp;creator Vince Gilligan, the movie adds a final chapter to the series that many fans have been clamoring for.&nbsp;

Breaking Bad&nbsp;fans know that Jesse has had a hard time since joining forces with his old chemistry teacher, Walter White. Jesse&#39;s perilous journey through&nbsp;the underworld is one of the most heartwrenching plotlines in television history, especially because of the rich character history that builds&nbsp;up Jesse&#39;s life. There are a few defining moments in&nbsp;Jesse&#39;s history that stand out as critical in his overall development.

Batman (Bruce Wayne) (Character)

The Dark Knight has been patrolling the streets of Gotham for nearly a century, and his lust for detective work has never subsided. That&#39;s not to say that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-batman-actors/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">Bruce Wayne</a> hasn&#39;t changed over the years, as the illustrious billionaire has&nbsp;gone through countless transformations throughout&nbsp;his publication history. Other members of the Wayne family have taken up the bat-mantel as well, donning their own creative costumes. As new artists and writers took a crack at the Caped Crusader, his visual style began to evolve as much as the character himself.&nbsp;

Batman&#39;s batsuit&nbsp;evolution has been a slow but steady progression, and he&#39;s come a long way since his 1939 debut. He&#39;s gone through makeovers, reboots, and reinventions&nbsp;over the years, but ultimately, the man&nbsp;in the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-batman-costumes-v1/ranker-comics" target="_blank">Batman suit</a>&nbsp;always has the same mission - to protect Gotham.

Welcome to Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park Franchise

Jurassic Park&nbsp;is a landmark in cinema history - and still holds up more than&nbsp;25 years after&nbsp;its initial release. Though often considered among&nbsp;the best book-to-film adaptations of all time, it does feature&nbsp;massive departures from the source material. Steven Spielberg did an amazing job crafting a sci-fi adventure film -&nbsp;with some elements of horror - but when it comes to the&nbsp;Jurassic Park&nbsp;movie vs. book, the book is actually much darker.&nbsp;

Some of the goriest events&nbsp;were&nbsp;seriously toned down for&nbsp;the movie or even removed completely. Other disturbing sequences of human-on-dino action were also cut or watered down for the finished product. The novel offers little in the way of catharsis - and boasts a body count much&nbsp;higher than what we see&nbsp;on screen.&nbsp;

Here are the most notable Jurassic Park&nbsp;book scenes that film audiences have never seen.

Sure, they might end up slaughtering a group of air-headed teenagers, but that&#39;s because the film&#39;s writer wanted them to kick the bucket. If you were to transport them to the real world, they&#39;d be no more dangerous than an oncoming steamroller; they can take your life, but they&#39;ll have to catch you first.

This is the reality for a lot of horror movie chase scenes, since characters seem to always make&nbsp;one dumb decision that gets them wiped out by something they could have easily avoided. As it turns out, lots of movie monsters are actually pretty terrible at their jobs. These are the monsters you could probably outrun without breaking a sweat, ranked by how easy they would be to escape from.

What Lies Beneath

Weird History

The ocean is massive -&nbsp;and the creatures lurking beneath its&nbsp;surface can grow to sizes that would be impossible on land.

These are some of the deadliest creatures of all time, the ones who epitomize the phrase &ldquo;there&rsquo;s always a bigger fish.&rdquo;
