Line 90:
** Some complaints include [[Did Not Do the Research]], derailing several characters, some of which to preserve certain relationships (namely Sonic and Sally's). Some things he's gotten a more positive response for however have been [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|his killing off very unpopular characters]], rewriting bad stories, cleaning up unresolved plot points, and offering other related fanservice to the fanbase. One of his most notable contributions has been citing a lot of Sonic internet memes. All he's missing is [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Vector saying "Find the computer room".]]
* ''[[Transformers]]'' comics suffered from this during their revival by the now-defunct Dreamwave Comics. Under Dreamwave, plots tended to be either simple or vague while the authors took time to work in [[Fan Wank|explanations for the toys with rub signs]] and rampant [[Easter Egg|Easter Eggs]] that contributed nothing to the story. It didn't help that they essentially just built off the old kid's cartoon from the 80s.
** On the other hand, fans have had no problem with Nick Roche and James Roberts, who made a short [[Continuity Porn]] story that [[Author's Saving Throw|used elements]] [[Arc Welding|of McCarthy's run]] to turn Prowl into a bona-fide [[Magnificent Bastard]], and created new, likable personalities for a half-dozen characters in ''[[Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers]]''.
* [[Reginald Hudlin]] is a fan of [[Black Panther]]. After he started to write his adventures, T'Challa was turned into a [[God Mode Sue]], Wakanda into [[Mary Suetopia]], and Storm from ''X-Men'' was given a giant amount of [[Character Derailment]] so she could [[Token Romance|marry BP]] and have everybody near him carry [[Idiot Ball|Idiot Balls]].
* In ''[[Daredevil]]'''s case, it seems like all the best writers that get their hands on him (including [[Ann Nocenti]], [[Kevin Smith]], [[Brian Bendis]] and [[Ed Brubaker]]) are fans of [[Frank Miller]]'s run and just like him are trying to make Matt's life [[The Woobie|as miserable as possible]]. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|Fans don't mind]].
