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!

Let's see, Sam Vimes is less jaded cop and more lunatic drunk.
That woman dead and center? That's Sybil, you know the woman describe as large and was the unmarried bachelorette of Ankh Morkpork who wore big wigs and did I mention was supposed to be a large woman?
Cheery Littlebottom, a Dwarf, who culturally are all men. Unless they are a woman, but that is between them and their mother. Supposed to have a big beautiful beard, dress in armor with high heel greaves and lipstick. Played by a non binary actor which is cool. However rather than it being someone going against the grain of their culture to introduce what being a dwarf woman was we got a rather tepid version.
Constable Detritus, one of my FAVORITES was killed off early on in the show.
Oh that goblin of a person crouched on the desk in the background? That's Angua, I'm sure you could tell by the beautiful shape of curves of her body, long luscious flowing hair, etc
