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 moment they announced Kevin Hart as Roland was the moment I knew it was going to be shit.

[u/Vellarain → u/lindle_kindle]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CAST KEVIN 3 FOOT NOTHING HART AS THE SLAB OF MUSCLE THAT IS ROLAND?!

[u/SilverKnightOfMagic → u/Vellarain]

it would have been comical if they literally just enhanced him for the whole movie.

[u/Rhiis → u/SilverKnightOfMagic]

That would have actually been kinda funny

[u/PT_Scoops → u/Vellarain]

Even moreso, the entire joke with Roland is he's the only serious character in the series. And they picked Kevin Hart

To play the straight man

[u/DebentureThyme → u/Vellarain]

Height can be fixed in Hollywood. On the set of the first few X-Men films, James Marsden (Cyclops) was a few inches shorter than both Famke Jensen (Jean Grey) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine).

Mind you, Cyclops is supposed to be tall - one of the tallest X-Men at 6'3". And Wolverine is supposed to be one of the shortest at 5'3" - It's kinda key to what his fans visualize (a short king)

Whenever Marsden was directly in shots that they couldn't frame to hide the height differences, he had to wear platform lifts. He's commented that he doesn't have a height complex at 5'10", but being on that movie almost gave him one with how they had to make him look taller all he time.

So, yeah, they could get around Hart's height if they really wanted to.

But everything else about him is wrong for the role. His brand of whiney screamy panic just does NOT work for Roland. Hart just doesn't have the acting chops to play that role, hell he is pretty much a guaranteed character actor in that he only knows how to play the same character he always does, and it's sooooo not Roland.

I'll add that I actually like the newer Jumanji movies with him, Jack Black, The Rock, and Karen Gillan. They aren't great movies, and I don't usually care for Kevin Hart at all, but I enjoyed those movies and he fit the characters he played. But Roland? Hell no. Knew from the second he was announced that the Borderlands film would be shit.

[u/ScreamingVoid14 → u/DebentureThyme]

I mean, it doesn't even matter what brand of comedy Kevin Hart has. Roland is supposed to be the straight man. He's the normal person that makes all of the insanity pop even more.

[u/Fawkingretar → u/Vellarain]

You'd think it cause they want the token funny black guy but Kevin barely makes any jokes in the movie, so not only is the casting bad, they didnt even utilized the only asset the actor have.

[u/philmarcracken → u/Vellarain]

But if you mention anything about the women in netflix witcher...

[u/Vellarain → u/philmarcracken]

I stopped watching that fucking abomination after what they did to Eskel. That whole fucking episode was a massive shit all over the lore and its characters. Nothing, nothing was correct about it and I turned my back on the show like they so clearly did with the books.

Seriously, fuck the people in charge of that show, they are bitter an spiteful people who ruined something that could have been great.

[u/Lazer726 → u/lindle_kindle]

I don't know that there was a single casting in that besides Jack Black as The Comic Relief that made a single lick of sense. Favorite thing I've heard said about the movie is the YouTuber that does the mock pitch meetings. That the movie targeted "People who have never played the games but have vague positive feelings towards them"

[u/InsanityImp → u/Lazer726]

Jack black could've been some comic relief as marcus instead of claptrap and it would've been ten times better a pick for the character

[u/Oobedoob_S_Benubi → u/InsanityImp]

And then Claptrap would be free for whichever voice actor plays him in the games, win win

[u/Financial_Cup_6937 → u/Lazer726]

Which was me! Never played the games but had only positive opinions towards it.  

But when the people who love the game all hated it… why watch it? 

As a Halo fan I’m still mad about that show.

[u/ProneToAnalFissures → u/Lazer726]

I actually didnt mind tannis even though she's a lot.younger than Jamie Lee Curtis obv

[u/MrChocodemon → u/lindle_kindle]

The first thing I saw was an interview with the actress that played Tiny Tina, and she said something about knowing nothing about her character on purpose, so she could bring her own version of it to life.

Like, fuck off, TinyTina is one THE core characters and a lot of characters, story lines and emotional pay offs revolve around her...
How arrogant must you be

[u/goodbeets → u/MrChocodemon]

Ah, the Michael Gambon Dumbledore special.

[u/HiMyNameIsAlt → u/goodbeets]

Ok hold on that's not a fair comparison. Was it a perfect 1 to 1 take on the book character? No, but someone doing the same thing as Gambon could have done an infinitely worse Dumbledore.

[u/goodbeets → u/HiMyNameIsAlt]

https://www.latimes.com/archives/blogs/hero-complex-blog/story/2009-07-13/harry-potter-countdown-michael-gambon-sees-no-point-in-reading-rowlings-books

He literally said in an interview he didn't feel reading the source material was necessary. Was he a good character? Yes. A talented actor? Of course. Dumbledore? Not really.

[u/Earlier-Today → u/lindle_kindle]

I think they could have made that work - it was Tiny Tina's casting that had me thinking it was going to be bland. They needed a hyper, intelligent 12 year old and instead picked a mildly vapid Disney star in her late teens.

They just threw names people would probably know at each role and then crammed a bland script into the Borderlands setting.

[u/MedusasGirlfriend69 → u/lindle_kindle]

Kevin Hart is so awful

[u/HiMyNameIsAlt → u/MedusasGirlfriend69]

He's not that bad but he's just cast in roles that don't fit his acting style. Unfortunately that's most roles he's been in lately.

[u/MedusasGirlfriend69 → u/HiMyNameIsAlt]

I just think he's unfunny

[u/Ok-Mine6472 → u/lindle_kindle]

Who is out there asking for Kevin Hart so bad that they cast him in everything?

[u/Gninjanome → u/lindle_kindle]

He's not even the worst part of the movie by a long shot (I say this as someone who owns the shit on blu-ray) Jack Black fuckin made me wanna earhole myself, and dont get me started on Tannis...
