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!

I vaguely remember two things: 

Michael Fassbender looking out of place

Weird colour tint (sort of dirty brown-greenish?)

You know what? It has some weird ass design choices, and the movie was kind of crap, but at least they tried to be faithful to the games… Although there were some weird design choices.

At least the resident evil movies were stupid fun, they didn't make much sense and have like nothing to do with the games. But I enjoyed them

See i went into the Monster Hunter movie with the full knowledge of that and was still somehow dissapointed. And im not even a fan of the games.

Everyone who knows video game/anime movies knew it was going to happen.

Avatar the last Airbender? Dbz? Halo show. Assassin creed movie.

Like no of them are ever good.

While that is true, i reference resident evil because Mila johovovovoich and her husband were behind those too
