James M's Most Annoying Things of 20183 of 10
#8 Detective Pikachu's Cold, Dead Eyes
I had more than two years to prepare myself for Pokémon Detective Pikachu, the first live-action film in the unstoppable franchise's history, but after gazing deep into Pikachu's coal-black eyes (and, to paraphrase Nietzsche, having them gaze back into me,) I realized no amount of time could've prepared me for this horror. Just look at that thing — it's like it knows your darkest secrets. Somehow, the voice of Ryan Reynolds and the adorable Sherlock Holmes hat only made IRL Pikachu more unsettling, BTW.
