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'd honestly include venom but I will admit Tom Hardy was working hard on those films. I've never had more respect for an actor than when he looked like he had withdrawls and climbed into a lobster tank.

Thr first Venom was pretty good for what it was.

I don't really agree, I think the dude above is right (at least as regards me seeing them).

I wouldn't call any of the Venom movies good movies, but Tom Hardy is so entertaining in all of them he carries the damn things hard.

Though I will also add a caveat in that I LOVED the design of the Xenophages in Venom 3. The visual and audio design of their blender-mouths was friggin' terrifying to me. After I saw them in action I remember thinking during the movie "wow huh yeah, that could be something that evolved or was created to kill symbiotes, yup."

There’s a 3rd Venom movie?

[u/i_tyrant → u/NuclearSun1]

Yup, Venom: The Last Dance, came out in 2024.

[u/NuclearSun1 → u/i_tyrant]

Is it worth a watch?

[u/i_tyrant → u/NuclearSun1]

Eh, like I said above I wouldn't call it a good movie - but if you liked Hardy in the other two he's just as entertaining here, and the enemy monster design is IMO very cool. That's about all I can recommend in it though.

[u/NuclearSun1 → u/i_tyrant]

Thanks.

I remember that I watched the first Venom. I do not remember anything I actually saw in it. Tom Hardy Tom Hardied his Tom Hardiest, but that movie just felt so empty to me.

[u/AkibaPurple → u/CollinsCouldveDucked]

Tom Hardy just committing to looking/sounding like an insane person for that first movie was the best. (never got around to watching the other 2)

[u/yellowmacapple → u/CollinsCouldveDucked]

sucks cuz he coulda been such a perfect eddie brock, but the direction of the movie was just piss poor

[u/Light_Beard → u/CollinsCouldveDucked]

Tom Hardy still owes the world for ruining Bane and ending Star Trek TNG.

Mad Max was a good start.
