Science fiction has truly ruined antimatter's reputation. Everyone expects it to obliterate galaxies when it's actually busy helping grandma check for tumors. The PET scanner—where positrons (antimatter electrons) annihilate with regular electrons to create gamma rays we can detect—is basically the universe's most underwhelming doomsday device. Thirty years of Star Trek had us believing antimatter would power warp drives, when in reality it's powering through your bladder scan. The greatest disappointment since finding out dinosaurs probably had feathers instead of scales.
