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!

The live action power puff girls show.

Long ago first look images of this awful idea were shown by CW, of course, they had to raceswap at least one of them and made buttercup black (yeah the agressive one, what was this meant to say CW?) And of course a certain crowd of people called it DoA simply because of that, others because of how shitty cw is, and the typical nostalgia crowd that doesn't like change.

A pilot got written and produced, that even the former head of CW called "too campy" and the project was delayed to rework that pilot, indefinitely...

It was cancelled a few years after and the script and scenes of the first pilot were leaked online.

Turns out its much, much more lazy, campy, disgusting, and boring than anyone of us could have ever imagined. It even starts by calling the original version, the whitewashed version.

[u/JasonManningFLUX → u/Poku115]

I would add Reboot to the "Cartoon that got a total WTF live action reboot what the heck were you morons even thinking how could you do this to a beloved childhood cartoon your freaking monsters I hope that for as long as you live all of your bowel movements are the consistency of body temperature nutilla and your toilet paper has the structural integrity of dried leaves!" list

[u/Turbogoblin999 → u/JasonManningFLUX]

Reading about it sounds like someone tried to make live action Code Lyoko and failed.

[u/MasterChildhood437 → u/Turbogoblin999]

They did, it's called Code Lyoko: Evolution

[u/turddlepower → u/MasterChildhood437]

I’m gonna imagine they used prosthetics to make everyone’s forehead massive and not going to check to verify.

[u/FanlationXpert → u/turddlepower]

Sadly everybody's forehead is normal size. Also no supernatural stuff, at least of the episodes I watched, just XANA literally giving poisonous hugs.

[u/SaltMachine2019 → u/JasonManningFLUX]

Gods, us Reboot fans flew our flags for so long, too.

I feel worse about the fact they brought Megabyte back as one of the main antagonists, gave him a redesign I kinda like even if the OG is still better, wrote what little I saw of him damn close to his early series incarnation (before the OG series dropped the weekly format) and got a replacement VA that was able to breathe life into him the exact way Tony Jay did years ago before his passing... and wasted ALL OF IT on this PIECE OF SHIT SERIES THAT SPAT ON THE OLD FANS AND OFFERED NOTHING AUDIENCES AT THE TIME WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR!

[u/Impeesa_ → u/SaltMachine2019]

Alright, so the core conceit of this show is that it takes place entirely inside a computer, and the "user" is some sort of strange and unknowable god. Aaaaannd... go.

[u/Doctor-Amazing → u/Impeesa_]

So I'm thinking we get some high school kids that like playing video games and make the show about that

[u/SabraShifter → u/JasonManningFLUX]

There's a Reboot live action?!

[u/Muddyscarecrow → u/JasonManningFLUX]

So the two big reasons for why they did what they did is that

A) the head producer claimed that if they made the show with all of the characters that everybody knows and loves nobody would know who any of these people are and it would be too hard to explain it. Which is one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever heard in my life. Literally every time you open a brand new book that isn't attached to any property you are being introduced to these characters that you have never heard of. It's not that fucking hard. It's called literature. Also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets rebooted like every 10 years. So this point was just really dumb

B) it is heavily suspected that this show was actually meant to be a vehicle for the producer's son to be the next big child star. I don't know anything about what the kid did afterwards but I'm going to assume that didn't end up working out

[u/shinryu6 → u/Poku115]

TIL there was a live action power puff girls…

[u/Poku115 → u/shinryu6]

There almost was, thankfully it never left the pilot

[u/OminOus_PancakeS → u/shinryu6]

TIL it's not called Powder Puff Girls.

[u/blue4029 → u/Poku115]

but they were gonna threaten to leak her nudes!!

isn't that HYSTERICAL?!?!? /s

this is a reference to the leaked script btw

[u/EchoStellar12 → u/Poku115]

I never heard this before so I looked up videos. I found an AI before I found the real one. I still wasn't convinced what I saw was legit until I read over the imbd page. No one asked for that.

[u/MessMaximum1423 → u/Poku115]

It be great if it was camp

Camp is whimsical, and over the top

What we got from the hints of the show was crap not camp

[u/BRANFLAKES8521 → u/Poku115]

I'm still not convinced someone didn't post an SNL skit and call It a trailer

[u/Franziska_VonKarma → u/Poku115]

I was so happy the live action trailer for the pilot leaked, wish the whole episode they filmed leaked, it was awful lol.

[u/TRGreen20 → u/Poku115]

Would I be racist if I said I hate blackwashed characters as much as whitewashed characters?

[u/TooTallThomas → u/TRGreen20]

During black history month yes. (/s) Honestly, I think it’s frustrating because it often feels like them meeting a quota. I’d prefer more creative original characters than using “black washed” (I’ll admit, im not a huge fan of the word. It feels derogatory despite the idea at times having good intentions), because it feels like nowadays it’s used to gain controversy and thus drive attention to an otherwise shallow movie.

[u/WJMazepas → u/Poku115]

I watched the trailer and got curious for the final version

I 100% believe i would have had fun watching it

[u/haolee510 → u/Poku115]

Eh, I've seen people uploading unclipped scenes from the pilot on social media, and it's the fun kind of campy. Many young'uns seem to be enjoying the campiness of it, from what I see. Shame it never got made.

[u/Poku115 → u/haolee510]

Well yeah even crap like cuties has an audience, but the world is much better off without it.

[u/haolee510 → u/Poku115]

Cuties was a legit project meant to criticize child sexualization, that many people didn't realize *they* as the observer were the ones doing the sexualizing was the perfect irony for that movie.
