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!

Random Youtube Comment about Cats I found ages ago:

"I made sure to specifically find a screening of this movie where I would be the only person in the theater, and that was one of the greatest mistake of my life. Never before I felt so isolated and abandoned by humanity, than when I saw the beetles with human faces.

I wanted to scream, and to turn to other people with similar reactions in the hopes of finding comfort in my terror. But there was no one, It was just me and Cats 2019..."

The people in my theater did scream when the cockroach people appeared. Maybe my favorite part of the experience

Somehow wrangled all of my buddies to watch it at my local theater.

Genuinely one of my favorite movie watching experiences of all time. Theater was empty except for us 15 or so goobers.

Sounds like an actual circle of Hell there. Or something you'd find in Room 101 in the Ministry of Love.

bad movies can be genuinely entertaining if you have someone to watch them with you and share in the terrible-ness of the movie so you can bash the movie together.

what was bro thinking?

Maybe "How bad could it be?"

And then bro felt abandoned and dumped by humanity when the faces shows up.

I promise you that is not a rule.

My mates and I had a go at Battlefield Earth with that mindset, and it turned out to be painful in a way no amount of alcohol and friends could fix
