Ghost Rider (film)/YMMV

The Comic:

 * Complete Monster: Scarecrow
 * Epileptic Trees: The Friend. The demon Challenger claims he was an illusion used to manipulate Ghost Rider, but who would believe, well, a demon? To this day people debate if he was an illusion, demon, agent of Heaven, another Hell-Lord trying to spoil Mephisto's plans, Angel, a normal (but maybe not quite sane) guy who just happened to be in the right place at the right time, or even Jesus Christ himself.
 * Word of God says that he was supposed to be Jesus Christ, but Executive Meddling made them change that.
 * Squick/Gorn: The most recent series was filled with it, along with High Octane Nightmare Fuel. As was the miniseries Trail of Tears, with the High Octane Nightmare Fuel turned Up to Eleven. It featured a pair of outlaws that the Ghost Rider killed by smashing them together so hard they fused together. They came back as minions of Hell, still fused together.

The movies:
"Ghost Rider: "Roadkill.""
 * Acceptable Targets: The overweight goth woman Johnny saved from an attacker; her interview was played for laughs the next night, and not so much because she was describing a man whose head was on fire.
 * Adaptation Displacement
 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: When footage from the next movie was released at Comic-Con, fans took solace in the fact that it looks deliciously insane.
 * Anticlimax Boss: Roarke at the end of Spirit of Vengeance.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Moreau in the second film.
 * Nadya as well. Her entire story is perhaps the only good thing about the second film.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Idris Elba playing a guardian warrior monk.
 * Why is the Rider so incredibly psychotic in the second film? Johnny's been keeping him locked away. He hasn't had any fun in a long time, and suddenly he's been given carte blanche to do whatever it takes to find Danny. Let the slaughter begin!
 * The Rider's line in the first trailer released on-line also shows that in addition to being completely out there in terms of his brutality, he also has a disturbed sense of humor when he defeats one of the mooks.


 * Narm: Blackheart's first line as Legion.
 * Narm Charm: 'He may have my Soul... but he doesn't have my Spirit.'
 * The sequel should be called Narm Charm: The Movie
 * Signature Scene: Carter Slade's last ride.
 * So Bad It's Good: Both films, though it's debatable which is better than the other.
