They Changed It, Now It Sucks/Film: Difference between revisions

** ''[[FoxTrot]]'' responded to this trend with a fictional conversation between two main characters and Peter Jackson, in which he said a faithful adaptation would be 40 hours long "and no one wants that, right?" One character's response, some time later: "Figures our mouths would be too full of drool to answer." (Humor notwithstanding, this is a transparent [[wikipedia:Straw man|strawman argument]].)

** At least one online fan was seen complaining that Aragorn having a stubbly beard was an outrage because descendants of Numenor don't grow facial hair.

*** Of course, studios lie in casting calls to prevent fans and media from finding out details of the production. All the casting call actually says is that they need a female between 15 and 30 able to learn fighting and acrobatics while wearing contacts and a wig, able to portray a previously dedicated character who's life has taken an unexpected turn.

*** The extra scenes with Arwen in general got a lot of hate. Essentially the adaptation took a lot of scenes that were handled by various "one-shot" elves and gave them to Arwen, in an attempt to give her more character development.

** More like a [[Justified Trope]]. The changes weren't minor and the movie seemed like a "safe" adaptation that got rid of what made the series original and replacing it with cliched ideas and [[So Bad Its Horrible (Darth Wiki)|just pain bad writing/acting]]

* Way before [[Star Trek (film)|the 2009 Star Trek film]] came out, a [[Fan Dumb|segment]] of fans were already frothing at the mouth that the producers aren't exactly re-creating the crappy cardboard sets and cheesy 60's costumes of the original series (and I'm saying this as a Trekkie). Although it could also be down to [[The Other Darrin|the recasting of the original characters]], even though the cast are in their seventies and DeForest Kelley and James Doohan are dead, not to mention {{spoiler|Kirk was trapped in the Nexus for decades}} in ''[[Star Trek Generations]]'', even ''before'' his [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|bridge dropping]].

** ''Every'' Star Trek movie has attracted this trope for some reason or another.

{{quote|[[RedLetterMedia|Harry S. Plinkett]]: ''Star Trek: Generations'' is the stupidest movie ever made. It ruined everything; and not just Star Trek movies, but ''everything''.}}
