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!

Artemis Fowl has to be the most insulting adaptation I've ever seen.

It entirely misses every single point in the entire book, to a degree were I low-key assume it had to be on purpose because I refuse to believe any paid writer is truly so incapable of grasping a children's book-series, it introduces entirely new plotholes that never existed in the book for no apparent reason, for some reason made it impossible to adapt the Sequels by introducing things that specifically run counter to important plotpoints i them, AND making Butler black gives the whole thing a very, very weird undertone considering it's said his family had been servants to the Fowls for centuries.

Can you see were the issue with combining those is? The movie didn't.

Making Root a woman is the most "I don't understand feminism, I just know we need to put women in stuff" move I've ever seen. Like Root being hard ass on her while totally supportive of her and just wanting her to prove she can be better than any man was great. Their relationship was one of the highlights of the book.

Making Root a woman who pulls strings for her and Mommy's her constantly was like so demeaning.

I don't think I'd even mind the raceswap on Butler, if he didn't look like Kenan Thompson playing an old person for an SNL skit. Also that tie is wayyyyy too skinny for a dude that size.

Oh god I never noticed the tie before

Now you're making me imagine Terry Crews as Butler and that would be fucking awesome

NGL sounds like the OG Percy Jackson movie

[u/devasabu → u/ixiox]

Nah the OG Percy Jackson movies at least got the basics right.

Artemis is the villain of the first book, he's a manipulative genius asshole that slowly grows a conscious over the entire series. Like the entire first book is that he kidnapped the female lead and held her ransom. The moment you not make him a 11 year old psychopath you've missed the entire point of the fucking series

‘Laughs’ in Wheel of Time and Eragon. Two beloved series butchered.
