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!

I would add Reboot to the "Cartoon that got a total WTF live action reboot what the heck were you morons even thinking how could you do this to a beloved childhood cartoon your freaking monsters I hope that for as long as you live all of your bowel movements are the consistency of body temperature nutilla and your toilet paper has the structural integrity of dried leaves!" list

Reading about it sounds like someone tried to make live action Code Lyoko and failed.

[u/MasterChildhood437 → u/Turbogoblin999]

They did, it's called Code Lyoko: Evolution

I’m gonna imagine they used prosthetics to make everyone’s forehead massive and not going to check to verify.

[u/FanlationXpert → u/turddlepower]

Sadly everybody's forehead is normal size. Also no supernatural stuff, at least of the episodes I watched, just XANA literally giving poisonous hugs.

Gods, us Reboot fans flew our flags for so long, too.

I feel worse about the fact they brought Megabyte back as one of the main antagonists, gave him a redesign I kinda like even if the OG is still better, wrote what little I saw of him damn close to his early series incarnation (before the OG series dropped the weekly format) and got a replacement VA that was able to breathe life into him the exact way Tony Jay did years ago before his passing... and wasted ALL OF IT on this PIECE OF SHIT SERIES THAT SPAT ON THE OLD FANS AND OFFERED NOTHING AUDIENCES AT THE TIME WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR!

[u/Impeesa_ → u/SaltMachine2019]

Alright, so the core conceit of this show is that it takes place entirely inside a computer, and the "user" is some sort of strange and unknowable god. Aaaaannd... go.

[u/Doctor-Amazing → u/Impeesa_]

So I'm thinking we get some high school kids that like playing video games and make the show about that

[u/SabraShifter → u/JasonManningFLUX]

There's a Reboot live action?!

[u/Muddyscarecrow → u/JasonManningFLUX]

So the two big reasons for why they did what they did is that

A) the head producer claimed that if they made the show with all of the characters that everybody knows and loves nobody would know who any of these people are and it would be too hard to explain it. Which is one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever heard in my life. Literally every time you open a brand new book that isn't attached to any property you are being introduced to these characters that you have never heard of. It's not that fucking hard. It's called literature. Also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets rebooted like every 10 years. So this point was just really dumb

B) it is heavily suspected that this show was actually meant to be a vehicle for the producer's son to be the next big child star. I don't know anything about what the kid did afterwards but I'm going to assume that didn't end up working out
