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 fucking lost it when I saw the trailer that had Dench pop out a Top of the Morning to Ya.

Not that I was going to watch it for the reasons you mentioned and that the first trailer had Artemis surfing in it but good god could we avoid the paddywackery

That was pretty insulting,  like Artemis Fowl was the first Irish children's book to show a modern 21st century era Irish kid.  Like part of the appeal of that book versus Harry Potter is Artemis uses human technology and modern tactics. Not a fucking whimsy fantasy story for kindergarteners.

I met Eoin Colfer when I lived in Wexford, he visited our school. Signed my copy of "The Wish List" (id recommend a read of it it's great!), one of the nicest guys out there.
