Line 21:
* Because 4Kids redubbed and edited ''[[Winx Club]]'', it got quite a bit of this reaction from fans [http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments=1&v=6sVxBKXk9PI This comments page for a video of a cut scene] has quite a few comments expressing anger at 4Kids for removing the scene, even though as far as the plot goes, it's completely unnecessary.
** Some changes have been more generally preferred, however. On example is the hip-hop music used in the Halloween episode. Another liked change is with Stella, who was a stereotypical blonde bitch in the original, is A LOT nicer and more likeable in the 4kids version.
** 4Kids have had a HORRIBLE track record of dubbing foreign shows to the point that they become stupid, makes no sense, and leaves plotholes you could drive a truck through (see [[Dub Induced Plot Hole]]). Scenes of character development have been taken out of Winx Club or developing lines replaced with "funny dialogue" which is usually a string of puns and taking away all the drama. Some personalities were also changed to the extreme, the main one being Layla. Originally, she is a girl with insecurity issues due to her royalty life and wants to have friends, but 4Kids turns her into an extreme feminist who tends to act like a bitch.
** Now that Nickelodeon has started airing a [[Adaptation Distillation|heavily condensed version]] of the series, fans are complaining that they've removed too much. While that is an understandable complaint, one of the major things that has angered fans is the removal of the "[[Sword of Plot Advancement|Charm]][[Mid-Season Upgrade|ix]]" which after season 2 [[So Last Season|was never used or mentioned again]].
* ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' fans on hearing the show would be switching from models to CGI. Caused acts of [[Fan Dumb]] on [[YouTube]].
Line 34:
* Complaints were leveled at ''[[Green Lantern the Animated Series]]'' for incorporating a lot of the more recent and controversial elements from the [[Geoff Johns]] run (such as the Red and Blue Lanterns and the Star Sapphire Corps) despite starring the original Silver Age GL, Hal Jordan, and not any of the more recent Lanterns like John Stewart, Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner. Early fan outcry was also leveled at the series for using CGI animation rather than the traditional hand-drawn looks used in most other DC cartoons. And even the fans who liked the elements from Geoff Johns' books have criticized the serie for things such as the Red Lanterns not being mindless raging beast like in the comic.
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'' gets this from some fans of the original series who are upset that it has an entirely new cast and takes place several decades after the original ended, instead of directly continuing ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''.
* ''[[Beware the Batman]]'' is already getting this despite nothing more than two teaser posters being released. Some fans are angered about a teen version of [[Birds of Prey|Katana]] appearing as Batman's sidekick despite traditionally being portrayed as an adult in the comics. Alfred using firearms has proven to be another controversial element. Additionally, some fans seem to take issue with the fact that a teen Katana is being used as Batman's core sidekick when [[Batgirl (2000 comic book)||Cassandra Cain]], the Asian [[Batgirl]], fills a similar function and has yet to be used in any DC telelvision show beyond a non-speaking cameo in ''[[Justice League]]''. And of course there are also animation purists who detest the use of CGI.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' had a rumored new voice cast that thankfully [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/93577-Futurama-Cast-Inks-New-Deal-with-Fox-Confirmed-to-Return didn't go through], possibly due to fan reaction.
** Or maybe because you know...replacing the entire cast would be really messed up.
*** "Messed up" or not, the dispute was mostly due to the voice actors' salary demands, with numerous fans afraid and angry at the possibility of change demanding that Fox throw as much money at the actors as was necessary. Because who doesn't want to invest large amounts of cash in a series that had to be [[Uncancelled]]?
** Now that the show's back, it's already getting wild accusations (even after the first two episodes of the season!) that the show has officially been [[Ruined FOREVER]] just because the jokes have become slightly edgier (the third episode in particular is also getting a lot of this because of all of its topical humor).
* Many people didn't like the idea of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' where Bruce Wayne wasn't the actual Batman. As far as [[Spinoff Babies]] go, this series is easily one of the best examples of it being done right.
* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' gets this reaction a lot. While the original wasn't a classic, apparently [[Your Mileage May Vary]] isn't allowed to apply when it comes to declaring the franchise [[Ruined FOREVER]]. Just look at the series page. While some of the criticism are justified, others tends to fall in the [[Fand Dumb]] department.
