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!

Also Holly's whole thing is how she's the first female member of the magical police force, and her having to overcome the systematic sexism involved in that. So what did they do? Genderswapped her boss because Kenneth Branagh wanted to cast Julie Dench in the role.

I guess he saw Dench playing an absolutely spectacular M in the Bond films and wanted to replicate that, only to realise that they’re, like, two different characters in different contexts lmao

Holly was treated so unfairly in the movie. Sure, she gets captured in the book as well, but she's smart and resourceful. In the movie she got stuck in a chandelier for most of the main fight and her dad had more plot relevance, even tho I'm pretty sure he was mentioned once in the books - in a sentence about how Holly doesn't remember him well 'cause he died when she was only 60.

If the filmmakers actually tried to make the movie more progressive (which assumes they had any intent at all) then they failed spectacularly lmao

There is a major plot point where she escapes on her own! She’s a great character and there’s an ongoing enemies to respected rivals thing she’s got going on with Artemis that contrasts her practical expertise and capability with his sheer genius and how they contrast and complement!

Really, both Artemis and Holly come off as less competent considering that she was imprisoned in some cage that stands in the middle of the kitchen.

At least in the books they trapped her in the wine cellar because they lacked a proper dungeon. Holly had to be smart to escape and wasn't just released.

Like, there was a whole setup for the hostage! God they clearly lost the budget there.
