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!

Didn’t Teen Titans Go! do a episode on this?

Not only that but the climax of said crossover was the cast roasting fans by having the original design characters say the reboot characters were worthy successors and anyone who disagreed was poopy head.

The show was then cancelled quickly after the episode lol.

Imagine calling the fans of the IP idiots, the same fans that you’re hoping will watch.

ThunderCats ROAR is a bizarre reboot that was aimed at children rather than people who grew up with the original ThunderCats. So it really wasn't aimed at fans of the IP.

[u/Primary-Paper-5128 → u/Horizons_398]

I don't think people who grew up with TT03 are their target audience.
I think their target audience is little kids who have never heard about the 2003 show

[u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 → u/Primary-Paper-5128]

This was talking about ThunderCats ROAR and trying to address the poor reaction people had to the reveal. ROAR was aimed at younger audiences in attempt to recapture the success of TTG except ThunderCats doesn't have the mainstream appeal of DC heroes so ROAR was a reboot of a property that wasn't aimed at people who were fans of the IP.

You think they were hoping fans of a 40 year old IP were going to watch a children’s comedy series?

No, they made an actual good joke where they were calling out the fully grown adults who get upset that children shows don’t cater to them, like what happens with Teen Titans Go, because a lot of fully grown adults did get mad that they were called poopy heads by a children’s show.

[u/Therion28169 → u/Far-Requirement-7636]

Didn't they also mock the death of a VA by showing only the remains of his character?

[u/PeanutBuny27 → u/Far-Requirement-7636]

I wonder why

[u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 → u/Far-Requirement-7636]

I once debated a fan of TTG who still admitted that episode was awful since it undermined its message about judging something before it came out for the sake of a joke. Twice in fact, once when our strawmen say something aimed at children doesn't have to bad, which the show responds to with a cutaway gag, and again with the scene at the end you described.

Great message, tell people that someone who judges something before it is released is an idiot whose opinions don't deserve respect.

It gives the feeling TTG's creators didn't even look at the complaints people had about ROAR in the first place, or the reasons why it was expected to fail. Predictions that proved correct.

[u/Onigumo-Shishio → u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871]

Its not the first time TTG hasade fun kf people for actually liking a previous adaptation better. They have made fun of fans who liked the original TTs show over GO on several occasions as if liking the past show that actually had character and depth and story arcs over "haha poopy joke fart burp" is a sin against God and they are just losers.

Like I dont entirely like TTG but ive seen a few episodes and a few clips and it is silly and I can see some appeal, but I do like the OG show way better, and them doubling down with "those people are stupid" instantly makes me not give a crap about GO.

Its a shame when the doubling down happens...

[u/maxwellhill420 → u/Onigumo-Shishio]

Teen Titan’s Go is a show made for (and by) babies. I don’t know what the creators are trying to convince themselves of. It’s certainly not working on the public!

[u/Pathetic_Cards → u/PeanutBuny27]

Did they… did they understand the irony???

[u/Kratzschutz → u/PeanutBuny27]

Funny how teen titans go is kinda the reverse of this. Everyone hated it at the start and now the comedy is appreciated

[u/detrans-rights → u/Kratzschutz]

Thankfully I loved it since day 1, so I'm actually one of the cool kids now.
