Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is, unfortunately, a metaphor for 2016. What should have been a fun movie about two men — one super, one bat — solving countless playground arguments turned into a bleak portrait of what happens when a rich guy tries to kill an “alien.” So it’s no wonder that Zack Snyder’s critically maligned superhero team-up was the most edited Wikipedia page for any movie released in 2016. Dawn of Justice was modified 3,593 times, placing it number 18 on the full-year list, between “Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016” and Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo.
Those weren’t the only pop culture items to crack the top-20: “Bailando 2015,” the 10th season of the popular Argentinian dance show Bailando por un Sueño, is number 7 (5,342 edits); “2016 in South Korean music” is number 10 (5,074); and “2016 in Philippine television” is number 14 (4,600).
The rest of the list is either political, depressing, or both.
