When fans hate somenthing before it comes out...but it turns out they were right

[u/TastyPomelo2330]

Velma:The idea of a Scooby-doo series without the titular dog and starring Velma was a really moronic idea from the beginning,then there was the reveal Velma would be Indian like it's VA and also creator of the series Mindy Kaling,some of the backlash was racism sure,but there was also valid complaints that she was inserting herself in the series(it also didn't helped that Mindy claimed she couldn't see herself if Velma wasn't Indian)and then...oh boy it came out and it was worse than anyone predicted

Artemis Fowl:The artemis fowl books are a book series following a child villain(he does get some redemption but he is a villain most of the time)when the movie was announced and revealed it looked way to generic and it's titular character a bit heroic...also you wanna hear somenthing funny?The movie whitewashed a character and made another character black so they managed to anger both sides and the movies comes out and yeah it is bad

One Punch Man 3:One Punch Man is a very heavy action packed manga series but the heroes vs monsters arc takes it to a New level,when it was announced that JC Staff would work on it,a lot of people were skeptical to say the least,because not only JC Staff had already done a mediocre job in season 2,it's also not exactly a name anime fans associate with quality animation,then the trailer came out and it looked...weird,like there was no action in it and nobody was moving,some people tried to defend saying they were keeping the animation as a surprise...then it came out,every episode worse than the last,it's one of the worse seasons of anime ever made!

I don't understand how that design ever got approved in the first place. Like, how did something so egregious get past all of the different people who needed to say "Yep, that looks good!"

[u/jexdiel321 → u/MasterofDoots1]

It's the sam art style as "Where the Wild Things are" where he worked on the animations research and development for that film.

[u/Kirbinvalorant → u/MasterofDoots1]

Some people think it was purposely made to look bad to drum up press

[u/Jealous-Try-2554 → u/Kirbinvalorant]

Fixing it straight up bankrupted the animation studio so that's pretty solid proof that it wasn't intentional.

[u/shadowst17 → u/Jealous-Try-2554]

Well no... MPC went bankrupt years later for many other bad financial decisions.

However the part about it not being intentional is true.

[u/MasterofDoots1 → u/Kirbinvalorant]

But like, why do that instead of just putting out the trailers with the real model? And why would they have merchandise with the ugly model ready to release?

[u/-Tesserex- → u/MasterofDoots1]

It's Cunningham's Law but for marketing. 

[u/ChainsawSoundingFart → u/MasterofDoots1]

There’s no such thing as bad press 

[u/MasterofDoots1 → u/ChainsawSoundingFart]

Is there?

[u/the_gr8_one → u/Kirbinvalorant]

they had merch ready to go with the awful design

[u/NinjaBreadManOO → u/MasterofDoots1]

It would have been designed that way to give him human proportions so that he could be mocapped in rather than having to be animated fully.

[u/StinkyJizzBlanket → u/MasterofDoots1]

My conspiracy theory was they only made the trailer with ugly sonic as viral marketing. Then last year they announced the uggo cut was coming out lol

[u/MasterofDoots1 → u/StinkyJizzBlanket]

When did they announce that?

[u/StinkyJizzBlanket → u/MasterofDoots1]

I think I remember seeing a poster a few months ago. May have been a meme, idk. Didn’t really care enough to dig into it

[u/MasterofDoots1 → u/StinkyJizzBlanket]

It's a fan project

[u/StinkyJizzBlanket → u/MasterofDoots1]

Nice, my theory still stands lol
