I mean, to be fair, sikhs know how to deal with jihadis, lol
fair, maybe put it in the category of harbinger of downfall or something (not added to this list)
not sure. I know it bombed hard, and they basically rewrote Misa's character... Not sure if L rises to the level of a palette swap, though...
Shame, willam dafoe as Ryuk looked good, but willam dafoe is one of those actors that can spin gold out of almost any shitty script...
does the netflix death note count?
Sorry, not trying to crapflood your inbox
Normally, I'd agree with you, but in this case, I feel like leaving the philosphy open-ended works better in this case. it makes you think about the questions asked, rather than having the answers spoonfed to you by somebody who took a philosophy 101 class to get their screenwriting major...
maverick was a fantastic followup to the original (I actually watched the first movie right before heading to the theater, and it holds up incredibly well), even the female pilot wasn't the girlboss I was dreading.
The only real stumbling block I saw was the character development of the new cast members, which wasn't awful, but really needed more time focused on fleshing them out.
might wanna add captain marvel...film only did well off the back of the avengers movies...and I'm pretty sure it broke the MCU's crushing it streak...
ressurections was okay-ish... Bad case of sequelitus, but it was watchable...
Sega seems to make misttep after misstep... First with the upgrades to the original genesis, which, while cool, didn't really add much in the way of value (and the Sega CD games rivaled the NES for punishing difficultly out of the gate). Then the saturn flopped, so they pushed out the Dreamcast, which had been their pet project for most of the decade, only for the PS2 to drop like a month (two?) later and basically make it irrelevant, which is a shame, because there were some fun games on that console, which is ironic, given the Sonic title for the console was a glitchy mess.
...and of course the failure of the Dreamcast basically killed the one-time rival to nintendo as a console developer, and they've made unfortunate choice after unfortunate choice ever since...
shame, I really liked the blue blurr... the chemical plant zone alone was worth playing sonic two...
hey, they made it work for racist, sexist, etc... at least for a while...
I'd settle for dinosaurs honestly...
don't really have a dog in this fight, because I'm not really into vtubers (neither for or against, just not my thing), but you could easily expand this argument to any kind of social media brand, or hell, really any form of entertainment.
Some examples come to mind:
-
Splash, a movie from the eighties/nineties about a man who meets and eventually falls in love with a mermaid, starred tom hanks (I know, I know), John Candy, and an actress whom I forget the name of. the film did well enough to get a sequel, but apparently not well enough to hire back the original cast for said sequel, and it ended up being tonally almost completely different as well. I don't know if there was a splash 3, but somehow I doubt it.
-
The King of Random/TKOR youtube channel. When Grant Thomspon, the original creator of the channel, stepped back from the camera to focus ont he business side of things, it was mildly off-putting, although Nate was at least doing some interesting projects, it just wasn't the same as with Grant, the personality was different, the projects were different, and was just not what I personally signed up for. When grant passed away (RIP), it seemed to become a kid's channel, and I just fell off in interest. I don't know how they're doing, but they seem to still be making videos.

<insert your favorite example of pallette-swapped "new" character replacing the old here> Do you like the new and improved version, or do you want the tried and true og back?
-
Game Theory I don't know who else paid attention to this here, but when matthew patrick (aka MatPat) 'retired' from the game/film/food/style theory public face, it set off a conspiracy theories about what really happened(true or untrue is up to you to decide, particularly with his announcement of retirement. It didn't help that Tom, the replacement host for game theory, seems like he was more at home at the writing desk than he currently is in the recording closet. The fact that matt had sold the rights to the brand a few years ago probably doesn't help either.
consuming each others' feces...
=P they just forgot to turn off Big Head Mode
fair, lol.
also, he was one of those actors that teens swooned over when he was younger, wasn't he
right!?!
hard to believe she'll be sixty in a few months...

Obama
...that does seem to be the tipping point. I remember my mother calling him a Manchurian Candidate (learned a new word that day, lol), and I remember the campaigning for him being off-putting, though I always chalked it up to him being a Dem, and me coming from a pretty conservative family...
...and I remember the gaslighting at the time about him being elected having "nothing" to do with him being black, and thinking it was bullshit even then...
wow, thanks, you've given me a lot to think about... =)
yeah, but I get it.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt so my inner cynic stays "inner," lol.
...and this is why i'll never be internet famous, lmfao. I wouldn't have even thought about that.
to be fair, I suspect a lot of people probably skimmed that bit of tl;dr on my part, lol.
...it's weird how many examples you find when you start looking for them... people having been posting so many I hadn't even thought of...
I don't disagree, at least for characters who are supposed to be attractive like this one, just clarifying.
...don't really want Aunt May to be played by megan fox or taylor swift circa 2001, lmao... that would be...weird...
nah evil has lines. self-interested lines, but lines all the same.
...stupidity on the other hand....
