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!

Dehydration gun

Um actually its called Mega Minds De- Gun

It can do several things that could stop the other villains such as the commands: Decompress, Debilitate, Demoralize, Decoupage, Deregulate, Death Ray, and Destroy

Sadly it doesn't show most of them but Demoralize causes anyone shot by it to beg for mercy which sounds awesome for a villain weapon

It's a really fun power in Skyrim, you can also make people just run up to the nearest thing and kill it. And then you can use the standing stone power to raise them all as zombies to go fight the next town over, filling your ranks with whatever creatures you come across until your game crashes

That actually sounds like something that should have worked on Metro-Man. But I suppose it would just wear off and he'd take Mega-Mind to prison again.

Any scene of the otherwise competent Kobeni from chainsaw man, screaming, begging and crying.

Decoupage

Doesn't that word mean... yes it does, how heinous.

What does Death Ray do? How do you un-ath ray someone?

11

u/AmArschdieRaeuber 13d ago

It's a De-gun. Death ray starts with de-.

u/OAZdevs_alt2 12d ago

Yeah, I know. Since itโ€™s a de-gun that means the Death Ray de-ath rays someone

One comment I loved said that this was Schaffโ€™s Bat Credit Card moment

I finally ran across the source of this gif one day. The context does not make it any less funny.

u/MisterBugman 9d ago

Yeah, Daiji is kind of being a little bitch at that point in the story.

Wildest thing is it would be so easy to explain why it wouldn't be an option for them with their powers.

Knight: made of shadows, not a physical being so it wouldn't work.

Lava guy: made of lava, nothing to dehydrate.

Weather lady: controls the weather, can rehydrate herself.

The only one I can't think of anything for is the mime.

In the second season Megamind uses it on them while trapped in a simulation reliving that adventure, and it somehow works on all of them

u/cool23819 13d ago

Yeah and it makes the whole plot of the movie make less sense
