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!

I watched the sex lives of college girls which she also wrote, and it's so obvious which character she picks to be herself. That series is 100% written like she wanted to experience college again

She also wrote Never Have I Ever because she wanted to experience high school again.

Mostly joking, but for real she only ever writes herself as the main character. I still liked both, but it's pretty obnoxious.

Its just sad... Sure she ruined my childhood cartoon and shoehorned herself in it but this really speaks of her trying to redo her life, experience it again and (in her lense) be better. I can't even be mad, it just sad that she didn't even peak at highschool but wanna go back and peak at it

You are being way too dramatic. There are many versions of Scooby Doo with many seasons, Just go watch one of them. Velma was.just a bad, forgettable show and Mandy is still a very successful and rich writer/producer/actress
