Line 57:
** Bizarrely, fans of the comic even complained about the character of Dr. Manhattan himself - specifically, the rumor that he might be wearing a G-string to cover his glowing blue penis. Disregarding that male full frontal nudity [[Double Standard|is very hard to portray on film without getting an X rating]], it was only ever a rumor, and he's portrayed as wearing something similar several times in the comic itself.
** Things didn't help much when they trimmed out the supporting characters in order to fit the story in a 3 hour movie. Thankfully, the Directors cut adds much more of the minor recurring characters.
* The new ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' [[
** People were in an uproar when the first brief images of Piccolo showed him to be a pale white. (Note that these early images did not give a very close look of his face.) Later images showed him to be a pale green, symbolic of how long it had been since he saw sunlight. When trailers appeared, it seemed like they did some color correction to make him more green, possibly to placate the fans.
** Lots of people have also been complaining about the hair. Goku doesn't have his distinctive hairstyle, Bulma's hair only has a blue streak, and Roshi actually has hair and no beard. Apparently the filmmakers considered making both Roshi bald and Bulma with bright blue hair, but why get Chow Yun Fat in a major role and have him unrecognizable and Bulma's hair looked just as goofy as Goku's original hair style.

*** [http://www.theonion.com/content/video/trekkies_bash_new_star_trek_film This Onion News Network video] pretty accurately reflects the attitudes of longtime ''[[Star Trek]]'' fans towards [[Star Trek (film)|the new movie]].
** ''Every'' Star Trek movie has attracted this trope for some reason or another.

* Most of the criticism of the ''[[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]]'' movie was based on this. The DVD includes an interview with [[Neil Gaiman]] explaining why he made these alterations, and they're pretty decent reasons.
