Top 10 Excuses that Certain Video Games, TV Shows and Movies Have Infamously Used for Their Own Terrible Quality

The Top Ten
1 Is helping Turkish Airlines make more money via sponsorship - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Anyone who's watched RalphTheMovieMaker knows what I'm talking about here; this, and also the fact that it's 3D and (optionally) R-rated

2 Foreigners generally don't understand the native language of the films, so they literally watch them solely for the visuals and nothing else - Michael Bay Transformers

Most predominantly used as a tactic for leeching money off of exceptionally clueless Chinese people who are weirdly obsessed with the automobile industry and don't know any better (yes, it's morally repugnant and culturally insensitive as all get-out, I know)

3 Tumblr feminazis will viciously attack anyone (especially anyone male) that says anything even remotely negative about it - Ghostbusters 2016

Please do not call feminists a "nazi"
Hitler only cared about his wife and other women to give birth to blond, blue eyed kids.
Feminists of now are not all mad, only your delusions are mad calling all of them Nazis

(cough) Angry Video Game Nerd, for example (cough)

4 Was made as a painstakingly deliberate parody of 2000s-era gross-out comedies - Freddy Got Fingered

While it WAS actually pretty funny at times, you simply cannot deny that the ONLY reason this film was made was to furiously stroke poor, POOR flipping Tom Green's stupidly overinflated ego (among other things, both of which very clearly belong to animals and are located precisely in their pelvic areas)

5 "The first rhythm game" - Parappa The Rapper

Well, when comparing it to its sequels, it's really not too hard to call it the WORST either (at the very least, I'd say it's actually pretty close)

6 Samuel Jackson is one of the lead actors in it - Snakes On A Plane

"It's like people only do things because they get paid.

And that's just sad, man." - Garth, Wayne's World

7 "Minecraft IN SPACE" - No Man's Sky
8 Invokes an overwhelmingly powerful feeling of soulless product placement- I mean, pop-culture nostalgia - Ready Player One

Check out my review of it for an even more pretentious analysis

9 Has Proof that Nanoha and Fate are a Couple/Yuri Fanservice for the Nanofate Shippers - Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vivid

The NanoFate fanservice scenes, the whole "Red Team VS. Blue Team" mock battle, Vivio Takamachi, Einhart Stratos, the artstyle, and the music were the only good parts of the ViVid anime to me (I've never read the ViViD manga myself but from what I've heard about it, it's not much better.).

10 "The lore" - Five Nights At Freddy's

Sorry, STILL don't get it

The Contenders
11 It's Ok, It's Just for Kids - Teen Titans Go!
12 Were Spin-Offs Of/Sequels to Arguably the Greatest Magical Girl Anime of All Time - Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vivid/Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force
13 Came packaged with a free Wii Remote for multiplayer - Wii Play

And what can you honestly say of interest about the actual game?

Nothing? EXACTLY

14 It Has the Iron Giant, Mecha-Godzilla and Mobile Suit Gundam in It - Ready Player One
15 It Promotes Diversity - The Force Awakens
16 "Good if modded enough" - Skyrim
17 Based off of one of the top three greatest Nickelodeon shows of all time alongside Invader Zim and Rocko's Modern Life - The Last Airbender

Which just made it ALL the more disappointing as a result, ironically

18 It Brings Some Much-Needed Feminism to the Disney Princess Franchise - Ralph Breaks the Internet
19 Has a Great Timely, Much-Needed Message - Zootopia
20 The Title Character is Empowering; a Female Game Character Done Right - Bayonetta
21 The Lead Character Designer is Herself a Woman - Bayonetta
22 It's Just for Kids, Anyone Complaining About the Characterization and Plot Holes is Overthinking Things - Ralph Breaks the Internet
23 Revolutionized Gross-Out Humor in Cartoons - Ren & Stimpy
24 Was a freakishly on-point satire of dumb metalhead teenagers at the time - Beavis & Butthead
25 "Intended more as a tool than as a game" - Minecraft
