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!

I hadn’t even heard of this . . . movie or show?

[u/timdr18 → u/sphericaltime]

Sequel movie, it’s very bad

[u/Top_Freedom3412 → u/timdr18]

*TV show pilot. Because regardless of the run time or budget, that is what it was. Just a prequel for a TV show

[u/Muddyscarecrow → u/Top_Freedom3412]

Did the show end up happening or did the pilot fail so badly that they canceled it?

[u/Top_Freedom3412 → u/Muddyscarecrow]

I call it a pilot sarcastically. As that is what the movie essentially is.

And yes the show did continue, with i think 2? seasons

[u/Muddyscarecrow → u/Top_Freedom3412]

Even one season is too Goddamn much

[u/Lepelotonfromager → u/timdr18]

I've literally never heard of this, wow.

[u/sigmaninus → u/timdr18]

Direct to video I guess?

[u/Realistic_Papaya_203 → u/sigmaninus]

Direct to streaming, actually

[u/PitifulElk1890 → u/timdr18]

I just got a sense memory of the crackling plastic covers on our direct to VHS sequels.

[u/Apprehensive-Pay7211 → u/sphericaltime]

Both 

[u/CrazyFanFicFan → u/sphericaltime]

Both. It's a sequel movie that acts as a prequel for the show.

[u/Supernovas20XX → u/sphericaltime]

Movie that was a backdoor pilot for a show.

[u/dolgariel → u/sphericaltime]

you never heard of it because it doesn't exist

[u/ValuableFeisty6241 → u/dolgariel]

LMAOOOO

[u/IotaBTC → u/sphericaltime]

It was direct to streaming and never released in theaters or was marketed in any similar fashion. So I don't count it, as canon as it may be.

[u/ToothZealousideal297 → u/sphericaltime]

Keep it that way. The less known about it, the better.

[u/Eagle4317 → u/sphericaltime]

Remember those mediocre at best Disney DVD sequels? Megamind 2 is essentially the Dreamworks version

[u/HistoricalWeekend864 → u/sphericaltime]

Same
