What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?
-
So was 3D.
Remember the prices for 3D TVs?
I bought one. It was expensive but nowhere close to VR.
-
Mulan. The live action remake was so bad, but I had high hopes because I like the original.
And it had questionable casting

I feel like dictionaries are over rated as a form, since they lead to nit-picky comments like this
You asshole! By asshole I mean kind, loving gentleman!
Kind of a free for all if there is no dictionary

Oh, I guess it's cliche but Star Wars Ep 1 for me
I was 12 when that came out, and while I recognized it wasnt good, the pod racing was cool enough I wasn't too upset to have seen it. I did not watch the next two in theaters, we just rented them.

I'm old enough to have been a big fan of the originals and drove with friends to see it opening night
It was a really fucking bizarre experience. The crowd in the theater was packed, and ecstatic for new Star Wars. There was cheering and whooping when tbe title came up, etc. It was all fans.
But during the walk out of the theater....NO ONE TALKED. Like, literally no one. Everyone just silently shuffled out.

Starfield.
All Bethesda had to do was make it at least as good as Skyrim. Not Oblivion or Morrowind, but Skyrim.
But they couldn't even manage that.
I was holding out hope until recently that things would be improved with updates kind of like No Man's Sky or through DLC like what Phantom Liberty did for Cyberpunk 2077.
I haven't read a lot of reviews because I like going into games blind but from what I've heard a lot of the issues really seem baked into the core of the game.

They added a car and a shitty side quest. That's about it.

The two that come to mind are Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Farcry 6.
They might have been ok games if the previous ones hadn't been so damned good.
At least with Breakpoint they tried to make it right with a new mode, but still don't enjoy it as much as Wildlands.
Leveled enemies and weapons are just not something I'm going to play.
What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I've heard it's pretty mid and I haven't heard much about it since which leads me to assume it's not even memorably bad or good

Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end

That's because HD-DVD was the real new standard, but Sony killed it.
That probably wouldn't have changed my perspective.
DVDs were nice because they were better than VHS, and bandwidth and storage were prohibitively expensive for me. Whatever came after was basically doomed to fail for me as a user (personally).

The Hobbit (trilogy)
I love the LotR trilogy, just so well done. I knew De Toro started the Hobbit and I was hyped! Then he departed and it was a bit concerning, but Jackson was coming to the rescue so it couldn't be that bad, right?
It did not need to be a trilogy. Adding more characters who are women was a good idea, but doing it for a romance subplot was stupid. Legolas didn't need to be included at all, there were enough characters already and another dude didn't help out.
Then there was the inconsistent tone, the stupid barrel ride crap and goblin caves super mario scene and the whole thing missed the point of the book which was about a bunch of bumbling dwarves, most of which were past their prime, hiring a hobbit to be a spy to raid a dragon horde. Instead we got superhero dwarves doing outrageous stunts and a ton of side characters padding out a trilogy.
Ugh.
Yep. Leading up there were red flags but, like you said, so many green flags as well. What a let-down! Helped nerds brace for impact when Star Wars came back though

The thing that immediately ruined it for me was the leveled enemies and weapons.
Ok, so I can head shot a guy in this region and he dies, but same enemy one zone over takes like 10 shots.
It's a lazy way of forcing artificial difficulty and making you follow a certian path through the game.
Did the same shit to the assassins creed series as well.

Phantom Menace
Rogue One
Last JediR2-D2 was a bisexual opportunist.

Justified: City Primeval
I LOVED Justified.... The new series was pure shite... Timothy seemed like a fucking side character and went from being a cool badass with a heart, to a joke.
And don't get me started about his forced love interest... Holy shit that was awful.

The Doom movie.
It wasn't even originally written to be Doom; just a bullshit, mediocre sci-fi nobody would have cared about until they forced the Doom franchise upon what would have worked better with Resident Evil because it was less Doom and more Resident Evil in spaaaaace. It also made me dislike The Rock because he lied his fuckin' ass off about the movie.
Mario Bros would be here, but it looked like crap even from the trailers as a kid.
All the rock does is lie. I can't stand his fake persona.
