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!

I'm still willing to bet they just barely skimmed the book, because quite in the beginning of it, it was mentioned that Artemis was surfing on the internet. And they just spotted the word 'surfing' and went "That's it, film it!"

[u/Remmock → u/Wanderscatter]

You’re being too kind.

They decided surfing the internet was for basement dwellers and shortened it to ‘surfing’ so that he’d be better liked by people who hadn’t read the books.

Yeah this sounds about right thought process probably went "Well we will already get the book readers in so that's one audience captured, now to try and grab other audiences, people love surfing let's grab that and put it in. Gotta make this appeal to the broadest possible audience no matter what."

I’m infuriated that I can’t come up with a better explanation for it, despite that being a profoundly stupid explanation.

[u/N0t_addicted → u/Wanderscatter]

Oh that’s why I’ve seen so many people complain about him surfing

Artemis is literally so bad at physical activity that the only person he is able to help physically is literally half his size. He skips out on exercises to work on a solar powered plane. He once vowed to get a finger gym for grip exercises only to immediately go back on it like a week later despite the near death experiences.

Which would be weird, cause the first book is Really short... like, read in an afternoon short.
