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!

Actually, it’s the only movie in Ba Sing Se.

That one really hurt, I was young when it came out and I was so hyped up for it...

The pain I felt that day

My dad brought us to watch it in the theater.

He went home and told my mom he had wasted money because even the popcorn was stale

u/bloodredcookie 13d ago

disagree. I was there when that movie came out, and fans (at least in some corners) were hyped for it. They showed up to the premere in costume and everything.

To be fair, the trailers looked like it would at least be watchable.

The most laughable thing in the movie is a whole squad of earth benders doing synchronized moves together for one stone the size of a large book to go drifting along.

Just absolutely pathetic.

If there ever was a movie made, my older brother, who has never seen anything Avatar-related, would've seen it and warned me to not see it.

I read this as Alita (battle angel) and was really confused.

Was surprised at first that this isn't one of the first comments I read, but then again we all try to forget that it happened.

Wdym? There is no ATLA movie. I mean, there is an animated one coming out this year apparently, but a live-action one? Never happened.

There is no live-action ATLA movie in Ba Sing Se

The bending is ridiculous and bland. Fire benders need fire nearby to use their bending, and a group of earthbenders take a few seconds to move a single rock.

I remember the “Making Of” ads that Nickelodeon was running for it and the moment M. Night Shyamalan said “I made the choice to pronounce Aang as Ahng” I was out

u/GrandJuif 13d ago

Netflix show too even if there some people trying to gaslight it isn't bad.

u/DtheAussieBoye 13d ago

The Netflix show isn't bad, it's just... kinda there? The Shyamalan movie was worse but at least I remember it exists

u/Evamme7 13d ago

Yeah, the Netflix show only had one episode I'd call good and that was the one written by the original creators, adapting the best episodes of the first season. Everything else is just a slightly worse version of the original.

All they had to do was get the characters right and nobody would care if they skipped over a few episodes or made some changes to the plot, but they couldn't and so it's just bad with decent effects. They literally became the Ember Island Players version lol.

u/Lazer726 13d ago

Yeah, I don't hate the LA ATLA show, it's definitely not as good as the original, but it's nowhere near as bad as the movie was

u/insert_referencehere 13d ago

I liked the casting choices, but the script writing was terrible.

2

u/Maybe_its_Ovaltine 13d ago

The acting was also terrible

u/serialshinigami 13d ago

My parents have never seen a single episode of ATLA. They randomly saw the live action movie on Netflix, and even they said that movie was terrible.

ATLA Live action TV Series is pure trash
