Top 10 Movie Creations That Turned Against Their Creator

[@SilverFeet]

"Knowledge is knowing that the monster is not named Frankenstein; wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster."

[@kytemode1401]

#wordsofwisdom

[@MusingSprite3045]

+Brian Jensen That's rather deep.

[@theodorehoesni4126]

Damn son

[@kytemode1401]

Back at it again with the white vans

[@bentramer682]

Who said that?

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

Wow! The Indomidus Rex, which looks like a raptor, talks like a raptor, and walks like a raptor... MIGHT ACTUALLY BE PART RAPTOR!!!

[@GeneralSteelflex]

+Josie Alyvia "Talks" like a raptor?

[@abigailsowrey1902]

Nostalgia critic much?

[@Pr7nce.]

No one in the world knows what a raptor sounded like. And yes it is part raptor.

[@vedpatil2353]

NAW DIP SHERLOCK!

[@isaiahhackshaw201]

Man! Who would've thought?

[@shirleyochoa4953]

"Ima tear up the fucking dance floor dude, check it out" LOL NATHAN

[@tibbygaycat]

-Okay, I'm quite glad about this one. The reference to Frankenstein is good, it's the prototypical example, and people don't know nearly enough about "The Monster". The poor guy, he just wanted to be good. Humans taught him to be evil by continuously shunning him. And HAL's death is pretty sad.

[@ColinFox]

Replicants from Blade Runner

[@toasteddanish4883]

+Colin Fox ^This

[@Susiruhtinas]

Ultron - Avengers: Age of Ultron Darth Vader - Star Wars saga Skynet - Terminator franchise Jason Bourne - Bourne movies Wolverine - X-Men Origins: Wolverine Agent Smith - Matrix trilogy Frankenstein's Monster - Frankenstein

[@Chateau22]

AGREEEE!!! ^^

[@mountaindewed101]

Hal needs to be #2

[@jakesherman8080]

+Susiruhtinas yes

[@RyansChannel0203]

Excellent choices! Don't forget about Henry from Hardcore Henry though.

[@RyansChannel0203]

And Mewtwo from Pokémon: The First Movie.

[@madamefluffy4788]

John Preston from Equilibrium.

[@kewlusername6692]

Madame Fluffy Fuck yeah!! Highly underrated movie :D

[@dafilmqueen556]

What little I remember from reading the book of Frakenstein is that the creature was actually kind.All it wanted was family and acceptance,but you know how people tend to react to fear,and it was their hatred of it that made the creature blame it's master for its ugly appearance.

[@sfisher923]

MewTwo from the 1st Pokemon movie

[@SonicUnderground316]

Two thing i think would deserve an Honorable mention at the very least are : - Dr.Moreau's Man-beasts - Wolverine from the X-Men films

[@confucius12012]

How can you leave off Roy Batty from Blade Runner?

[@mitchiku4931]

+confucius12012 Right!? He should have been no. 1

[@_Breakdown]

+confucius12012 -- good point - almost forgot about him.

[@confucius12012]

avazian MZUU DOWN UnDa Yep, Mojo clearly dropped the ball on this one. "I want more life, fucker." lol

[@TheWizardYeof]

Welp, guess there’s no reason for me to continue watching

[@squeaktheswan2007]

He was already on another list.

[@NorrisVaughn]

Well, Fritz was abusive to the Monster, so he kind of had it coming.

[@sparkweaver]

To be honest I thought Ultron would be greater than an Honorable Mention.

[@Antasma1]

"I Had Strings, But now i'm free..... There are no strings on me."

[@tylanmaul6646]

He deserves a full spot on this list.

[@tenhirankei]

Frankenstein's monster only killed Fritz, because Fritz tormented him with a torch. Another Honorable Mention would be Colossus the supercomputer from Colossus: the Forbin Project. Colossus was the original Skynet.

[@Yaletsgetit]

Ex machina was such a good film

[@k1tdragon5]

It really was. Amazing actually.

[@KarlKreationHD]

Underrated i think.

[@REALCAUTION]

yeah i really liked that film

[@archerypeacegirl]

Blew me away. It's crazy how you find yourself questioning wether she is a robot or not even though you know the truth. Brilliant.

[@REALCAUTION]

archerypeacegirl yep that and interstellar are my favourite movie very well done

[@samkresil6011]

This list needs a REVAMP. Doris - Meet the Robinsons (2007), Tighten - Megamind (2010), Jared Nomak - Blade ll (2002), Wolverine - X-Men franchise (2000 -) and MechaGodzilla - Godzilla vs Kong (2021).

[@samuelquan3826]

I knew the Frankenstein monster would be number 1. Although I admit that I thought Skynet would be number 2 not number 3.

[@leozingy]

Replicants in the Blade Runner. That scene where Roy Batty confronts Tyrell... one of the best 'creation versus creator' scenes.

[@dartagnanx1]

You missed Roy Batty from Blade Runner

[@MrBlahblahbaa]

Roy Batty from Blade Runner? His "Tears in a Rain" monologue killed me inside when I watched it.

[@puffle610]

Blade runner?

[@DancMach1988]

Another one that comes to my mind right now is Ashton (played by Vincent d'onofrio) in 'The 13th Floor'. He is a virtual character from a simulated 1930's era Los Angeles that discovers that his life and world are a computer simulation. When he attempts to kill his programmer Douglas Hall (Craig Bierko), however, he sends his maker unintentionally onto a path that leads him to find out that even his own 2000's L.A. is a computer simulation. Apparently fate doesn't lack sense of irony.

[@BowserMovies1989]

Glad Darth Vader made it to this list and that Ultron and Omnidroid v10 made it to the honorable mentions.

[@soulweaponx6644]

How could you guys forget Maximum Overdrive? The iconic scene where the waitress screams out to the now sentient vehicles, "We made you!" before being shot to hell.

[@JaDangerz]

Where's Dren from Splice, DOR-15 from Meet the Robinsons, and Mewtwo from Pokemon?

[@flashnfantasy]

"Tai Lung" in Kung Fu Panda "Spawn" in Spawn. "Erik Lehnsherr" against "Sebastian Shaw" in x-Men First Class". "Wade Wilson" against "Francis Freeman" in Deadpool

[@samkresil6011]

and Tighten in Megamind

[@chrishale7480]

A smart man knows that Frankenstein isn't the monster. A wise man knows that he is.

[@AbdelEmperor]

+Chris Hale That's deep man!

[@chrishale7480]

+Abdel Emperor Actually, I was paraphrasing something someone else said but, yeah it is.

[@zaneonmeinhart7952]

Wait are you paraphrasing MatPat?

[@chrishale7480]

He was quoting another source too... I think.

[@zaneonmeinhart7952]

According to Google he was quoting Adam King but idk.

[@EwoudMusic]

I was hoping to see the Black Liquid from Prometheus on this one... i agree that the movie might leave open a lot of questions and gaps in general, but the idea of an intelligent organic bio-weapon that went on to spawn an entire alien race really makes it a very original 'character' in movie history.

[@User5973]

Wow...bet number one ever. Actually worthy of the spot.

[@travelinggirl8257]

AVA certainly had to be on this list but the first one that came to mind for me was Robocop, so I was surprised it wasn't close to #1, much less missing altogether. Having the boss fire the truly evil executive of the creating company (Ronny Cox, who played such a good guy in Deliverance) which allows Robocop to dispose of him is one of my all-time favorite movie memories. Yes!! :)

[@martijnvanweele6204]

Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein wasn't the monster; wisdom is knowing Frankenstein WAS the monster...

[@hiro2protagonist]

Exactly, you don't get to treat your sentient creation like a pet. The monster had a mind and free will. Chaining it up was unkind. Of course using any brain that was abynormal was also wrong.

[@dafilmqueen556]

Makes me wish I was the comforting zone for the Monster!

[@josephmotto8921]

Guys Robocop(The original, haven't seen the remake) Didn't turn on his creator. His creator was killed by his business reveal and Red Foreman from "That 70's show"

[@stefand8603]

+Joseph Motto don't bother, it was trash in comparison to the original.

[@BPgamemaster12]

Skynet: Want to kill all Humans V.I.K.I.: Wants to control all Humanity to help it EVA: wants to live her own life and doesn't care who have to die along the way Man when AIs go AWOL it always suck for mankind.

[@colinp2238]

The lesson to learn from Frankenstein is don't go to the top of a wooden mill if you are being pursued by a torch wielding mob.

[@musicsmoviesofficial]

Great Top 10

[@leojean3185]

+Epic Music Movie i like too

[@boblerat7039]

+Epic Music Movie Great channel, I like Epic Music

[@killuazero4629]

Yes yes, much great film this watchmojo make

[@RookwingsKirk]

Demon Seed. I loved the "monster computer" and was glad when it won

[@johnmiller567]

And it knocked up its creator's wife!

[@robertkilbourne323]

HAL was following orders given to him by Heywood Floyd, orders contrary to his programming by Dr. Chandra. This resulted in a catastrophic malfunction resulting in psychosis. What he did was a misguided attempt at ensuring mission success, and his survival, the most important part of the Discovery mission. I hate it when people talk about HAL being 'evil' with never having seen or read '2010.' Frankenstein's creation turned on Victor only after Victor's abusive treatment of him. Every version of Frankenstein is the same - the creature only ever attacked anyone after being provoked. He never harmed a child, he never hurt the old blind man, etc.

[@lindavanzanten4076]

+Robert Kilbourne HAL was never evil. I agree completely with that. HAL on his own was completely capable of completing the mission. and with the crew dead, the contradiction was eliminated.

[@KronosUniverse]

Deadpool did that as well. Also Gremlins, Mewtwo, Robocop 2 (Evil Robocop) from Robocop, Wolverine, the apes from Planet of the Apes & the pets from Frankenweenie.

[@Best5Official]

Universal soldier.. ' Scott: Say good night, assh0le. Luc: Good night, assh0le. :)

[@dsmfusionmedia]

Love it. :)

[@dadoctah]

I could make the case that Frankenstein *is* the name of the monster. The artificial man created in the lab wants only to continue living the life he never asked for, but the doctor is the one whose behavior and actions are truly monstrous. (Even more so in the sequel, where the nastiest living thing on display is the newcomer Dr Pretorius.)

[@spencerr1983]

where was robo cop? You had Vikki from I robot on here but not RoboCop? Not even honorable mention?

[@EnjoyCocaColaLight]

+Spencer R I must re-watch i, Robot. I don't recall any evil robots there.

[@jervaisepaget1533]

+EnjoyCocaColaLight all the robots turn on the humans because viki reprogrammed them

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

I don't really think _RoboCop_ turned on his creators as much as it / he rediscovered his humanity and sense of identity. E.D.-209 on the other hand, but then that wasn't so much as turning against humanity as being poorly programmed by us.

[@MazeFrame]

Ex-Machina is a brilliant film, right up there with 2001: A Space Odyssey!

[@Freak_Gamer]

Fun fact: agent smith was actually the good guy, he is the one that saved humanity.

[@josephmotto8921]

+freak gamer Someone watches Film theory

[@Freak_Gamer]

Joseph Motto What does that have to do with anything?

[@josephmotto8921]

+freak gamer It just that was a episode of film theory.

[@Freak_Gamer]

Joseph Motto oh, wait, sorrry, I tought this was a disscusion over if heat was inportant in prision architect, I tought this was another converstion xD Sorry

[@Freak_Gamer]

Martian Moose Studios Ltd no joke.

[@jegliker123]

Next on Watch Mojo: top 10 movie characters with a turtle neck and a beard in a brown-ish but definately not black color

[@jakenapier6925]

Lol

[@Feroxing12]

Splice was epic and should be in this list.

[@FutureLifeSounds]

Splice was a terrible movie.

[@CativaBR]

13:52 Aww, but thats like telling us to not press the red button.

[@rudylinares8134]

my favorite dr gero is betrayed and killed by his creations androids 17-18

[@Avagirl14]

Splice would be an interesting addition

[@asokerov]

Roy kills Tyrell in Blade Runner...

[@Sporkmaker5150]

+Alexander Sokerov Among other questionable things. Should have been number one.

[@jeniferdivine]

thank you for saving me having to watch any of these movies!!! (i did see Frankenstein, the very 1st Star Wars, 2001: A Space Oddesey, the 1st Terminator, and scenes from the Matrix)

[@nitsan2823]

Hal from 2001 better be on here

[@nitsan2823]

Good

[@HandSanitizerAttack]

I can't let you comment that, Nitsan.

[@stevenkimdmd]

Hal did not turn on its creator. The crew did not create it.

[@lukeyboybeckett]

Top 10 perfect/most realistic castings for father and son and top 10 worst castings for father and son

[@lunacent4622]

wow i was at least waiting an honorable mention of mew two

[@edwardness7497]

+Luna Pam how could I forget that

[@lordhumungus8720]

Top 10 creations that turned against their creators in video games My favourite example is Jack and Fontaine from bioshock

[@matthewparker4013]

And the raptor listen to grady at the end.

[@jakealter5504]

The raptors turned on the military guys and indominus, they ultimately sided with the trainer who worked with them

[@guszo77]

this......so the jurrasic world entry is incorrect

[@jakealter5504]

+paul allen it is correct, the raptors did turn on their creators but they did turn on indominus not long after that. They basically just switched sides again

[@gilbirdsareawesome]

Exactly the Raptors never turned on owen.

[@OnyxKaisor]

I really thought mewtwo would be on the list or get a mention atleast

[@AgentHooligan]

Mewtwo is a video game character

[@kompuglobalhypermega]

+pey8523 Mewtwo appeared in the first Pokémon movie as a main villain.

[@AgentHooligan]

kompuglobalhypermega This list is for *movie* creations. Mewtwo originated in a video game. Therefore, Mewtwo doesn't match the criteria.

[@snarkus63]

Sgt. Todd 3465 (Kurt Russell), from "Soldier"

[@Olimpina]

I really think Blade Runner should be in that list, at least in the honorable mentions...

[@rainyday4970]

+Olimpina MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT! The Replicants! Plus that's my favorite movie!

[@Olimpina]

+Rainy Day I liked Philip.K.Dick's book it was adapted from, I think both are two of the few science-fiction works I appreciate in literature and cinema :-)

[@rainyday4970]

I love Philip K Dick's stories too! I'm SO PSYCHED that Blade Runner II is coming out! Do you know about that?

[@Olimpina]

+Rainy Day No, I didn't, thanks for telling me :-)

[@rainyday4970]

Apparently Harrison Ford is coming back as Deckerd, but this time HE'S hunted, because HE'S a replicant!! Isn't that AMAZING? That's all I know so far.

[@movienaut]

Im glad that when you put Terminator on the list, you, with great respect, showed only clip from Terminator 1 & 2, not 3, Salvation or Genesys. Good job, Watchmojo, Good job!

[@grimreaper3882]

+movienaut Also, they actually called him an android. So that is also a great thing.

[@movienaut]

To be true, Kyle Reese said T-800 was a cybernetic organism!

[@grimreaper3882]

movienaut But he was wrong. A cyborg is something living that needs cybernetics to survive. An android is a machine that mimics humans.

[@foreverdead1248]

Are there ANY Frankenstein movies adaptions that are actually accurate to the book?

[@HideousConformity]

+FoxyWhite Apparently, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) - starring Robert De Niro as the monster - has been the most faithful adaptation. It still takes some liberties though...

[@foreverdead1248]

HideousConformity One thing I've noticed is few to none of the movies seem to depict Viktor's IMMEDIATE revulsion for the thing he created.

[@b_rad5651]

Whoa! So many were left off! What about Wolverine, Robocop and The Joker (Batman 89)? Also, Indominus should've made the list instead of the raptors. Owen didn't create them, he trained them. But Clare's scientists created Indominus and Indominus tried to kill everyone, including her.

[@edwardness7497]

+Bradley Hansraj Wolverine, good thinking

[@resonanttotality8322]

I liked V.I.K.I. from I, Robot.

[@Cancoillotteman]

Sometimes its hard to know who turned against who: a human dies, and when he/she finds itself before God, both yell "My creator !"

[@hulkfan97]

Stop titling your videos top 10 movie fill in the blanks. Theyre lengthy and and sound stupid when it comes out of our mouths. Title your videos like this Top 10 Creations in Movies that turned against their creators. not like what this title is.

[@WatchMojo]

+hulk fan That actually makes the title longer though.

[@timmyturner5952]

+hulk fan Learn how to count, before you type. Mojo title: 9 words, your title: 10 words. Sooooooooo

[@stevenzhang4629]

+Timmy Turner His sounds better tbh

[@ImDeluxeSP33some]

+Steven Zhang Nah.

[@yukki9053]

rekt

[@loranddeka]

Frankenstein's monster is really the gold standard. Everyone else in the list are his progeny

[@jennarizzo22]

Where is Mewtwo?

[@monsterhobbiesonlinestore]

Awesome! Glad they recognized 1931 Frankenstein!

[@sourpeach1216]

The Truman Show?

[@RookwingsKirk]

Colossus: The Forbin Project. Just brilliant.

[@deans-rewind2882]

What about hitman!?

[@aziz.mp4]

Wasn't planning on watching these movies anyways..*cries internally*

[@geinerelizondo2019]

Really? You take for Darth Vader the "Noooo" scene!!! Come on...

[@TheLordKell]

+Geiner Elizondo It's the only version, as far as I know, that's made it to the digital world. And there may be copyright issues with other versions. Though I did want to rip my ears off listing to it.

[@geinerelizondo2019]

TheLordKell Noooo! XD

[@robbperez1278]

+Geiner Elizondo I guess I never saw that version. Just watching it now, I was like, "I don't remember that when I saw it in the theater in '83..."

[@TheLordKell]

Robb Perez The "NOOOOOO!!!!" was added in the DVD remakes. Along with the Han didn't shoot first scene. That DVD was the definitive start of the downcline of Star Wars. Thank God they took George Lucas out of control.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

+Geiner Elizondo I cringed so hard when I heard that. Don't forget to save your DVDs. I take my blu ray out and put in the DVD when that scene comes up, so I don't have to hear it.

[@momjeans9751]

How The Whole Jurassic Park Series Went " Oh, looks like the dinosaurs are going to kill everyone " " Nah, lets mix the two most dangerous dinosaurs here. Give it camouflage while you're at it too " " OK. THIS DOESN'T SEEM REALLY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS " *The End*

[@bobthecopywriter]

What about Eve of Fritz Lang's Metropolis?

[@jamesfrost126]

R Wixel Barnwell That only happens in the various edited versions. In the unedited cut she is actually following Rotwang's orders because he hates the Master of Metropolis and wants to destroy the city in revenge for losing the love of his life.

[@MunchyMakesStuff]

You have no idea how much I wanted Mewtwo from the 1st Pokemon movie to be included on this list...

[@aGuibuK]

what about Mewtwo!!!!!

[@findingninno]

Hey WatchMojo, y'all should make a video about the "Top 10 KZbin channels with the most videos", and y'all would be on the list.

[@brianban110]

is splice gonna be on this list

[@danieloleszek4280]

I am sorry to say this but Splice is not on the my friend and that's very surprising

[@RTHoyt42]

i cant believe that Collosus: The Forbin Project was left off the list.

[@rainyday4970]

Ex Machina was a pretty damned good movie. Someone listed Blade Runner here, and I agree. Who could forget the REPLICANTS!! Roy Batty? It's my favorite movie!

[@hansgerber8654]

so smith became a free agent ..

[@Truth04ful]

I love how you say Darth Vader is one of the greatest characters in cinematic history, yet he's number 8 on this list.

[@criticalboom1360]

what about the thing in Wall-E. The steering wheel thing

[@thenonsensicalpoet291]

+Bossing 101 bossing 101 jr Auto? He was trying to protect the humans from returning to a diseased planet, and he turned against the other robots not the humans.

[@criticalboom1360]

+Breanna Yearsley k

[@bioozi-yt3394]

lol

[@45100]

Truth be told my first thought was that number 1 will be Skynet. But I agree with your choices.

[@ellnats]

technically, Frankenstein is also the name of the monster, its is created by him, basically his Son, only his mother was lightning, fact, he somewhat takes a name, Adam Frankenstein

[@JonnyLikesGames87]

Noo... NOOOOOO!!! Why would you use the bluray footage of Return of the Jedi?!

[@croco3671]

ikr i thought that too

[@thomaslemos2240]

Tis the end of humanity

[@robertfreeman4684]

They too lazy.

[@aztecwrrior1997]

I realized that I was like 'what the hell?'

[@tobalaz]

The sharks from Deep Blue Sea. They were smart enough to manipulate the scientists into flooding the facility so they could escape. Grant it, they ultimately failed, but to make such apex predators so intelligent the thought of them escaping into the ocean and having offspring is truly frightening.

[@Destroyerofstraws]

mojo jojo

[@kai_winchester_66]

Good list :) *thumbs up*

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

Crappy movie, but what about the Aliens in Alien Resurrection?

[@sheboyganshovel5920]

Vader, for all the reasons that are perfectly obvious, did not howl 'No!' before picking up the Emperor and dropping him in the shaft.

[@TehWhiteTiger]

mewtwo

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

+TehWhiteTiger That's the first thing that came to my mind.

[@misteryman526]

I always imagined that there was a bomb in Eva set to go off if she got more than a mile away from her creator's freaky bunker/house. There she was emulating a good gloat over what she just did to her 'master' and his gullible employee while watching the scenery go by, and then BOOM! I mean, that IS the sort of thing that Nathan would have done since he was so controlling and paranoid.

[@bearthedevil9675]

Sidious wasn't trying to kill Luke he was trying to make him cave in and turn to the dark side with the fear of being electrocuted to death

[@MrLuck88]

Thought Skynet would have been first but overall, it's a good list.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Best one that's kind of not been revealed is the ALIEN, against the 'Engineers' - still such a great character.

[@theblitzkrieggamer3196]

When I saw the title, I thought it meant directors that got turned on, but then when watching it I feel really really stupid.

[@hannahbatt5815]

Lol you're not alone I thought the exact same

[@HelloKittyV0mit]

It Pisses me off when people think that Frankenstein is the monster when it is the name the creator

[@karaokekingskingdom]

had my chips on skynet or hal personally.but Frankie is fair.
