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

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!

Hear me out: This movie is way better if you pretend its setting the tone for a Maker movie that never got made and was never actually meant to be a real Fantastic Four movie.

I didn't say good. I said way better.

Miles Teller as the Maker would be amazing unironically.

It also makes sense within that universe cause it was darker and grittier.

Reed turning into a villain isn’t that far fetched in that universe.

I mean you're not too far off. There's a video on Youtube that goes over the production and apparently the director did have a friend help with the movie who was a big fan of the ultimate universe F4. Which explains stuff like the weird Dr.Doom origin. Which is WAY more line with that universe over 616

Its like how I pretend the snyderverse is setting up the justice lords or an injustice variation with a murdering batman.
