Line 7:
Contrast [[My Real Daddy]].
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Gundam]]'' has some fans who insist that the [[Alternate Universe]] shows are all crap because [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] had nothing to do with them (ignoring the fact that ''[[Turn
== Film ==
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
** Cameron ended up on the opposite side of this trope after the second ''[[Terminator]]'' film.
* Richard Donner directed ''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'', and got fired halfway through ''[[Superman II]]''. His cut of the sequel, which emerged in 2006, is generally considered better than the theatrical cut by Richard Lester. Of course, in this case it wasn't the name. There was a push to go [[Lighter and Softer]] that would culminate in the [[Canon Discontinuity|now disowned]] ''[[Superman III]],'' and the Donner cut has less of the slapstick that was forced upon them.
* The planned new ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[
* ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' is a good example, since the best-regarded
* The ''[[Saw]]'' sequels since the departure of creators Leigh Whannell and James Wan are highly regarded as significantly inferior to the original trilogy, with the [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|frequent exception]] of ''Saw VI''.
* An odd inversion with ''[[Star Wars]].'' [[Your Mileage May Vary|Many fans]] believe that ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' were much better films than ''[[A New Hope]]'' in part because [[George Lucas]] took a more hands-off approach and left them in the hands of other writers and directors. These fans believe that the prequels would have been much better off if Lucas hadn't insisted on writing/directing all of them, in a case of We Love the Creator, but He Doesn't Do It as Well as Others Do.
== Literature ==
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
* ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''. To the most visible portion of the fanbase, the true Conan stories are the ones written by Howard and only by Howard. The post-Howard writers are referred to as "Conantics," and [[Internet Backdraft]] ensues if you admit to liking any of the books by Lin Carter or the others. (The films, curiously, don't receive nearly as much backlash.)
▲== Live Action Television ==
* ''[[Supernatural]]''. Many fans blame current showrunner Sera Gamble for the show's current less-than-stellar state. Note that the original creator still has some input on the show.
== Video Games ==
Line 48 ⟶ 44:
* Some fans / tropers think the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' series has never been the same since the fifth entry, Thracia 776. The reason is due to the departure of series creator Shouzou Kaga.
* Some people felt this way with both the newer ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Spyro|Spyro]]'' games.
* A common complaint of older ''[[Command
** On a side note, it has been noted that this a common trait of [[Electronic Arts]]' approach to "market competitiveness": Buying off competing properties and [[Franchise Zombie|milking them for all their worth until they drive it to the ground]], allowing their own in-house products to flourish. The [[Other Wiki]]'s [[wikipedia:Electronic Arts#Studio acquisition and management practices|article on EA]] even says something similar.
* Although they did get lots of positive reviews, Obsidian's two sequels to the [[BioWare]] games ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' and ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' still aren't ranked as highly as their predecessors.
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
* ''[[Max Payne 3]]'' is getting quite a bit of this, due to Remedy having no real involvement with the series.
* The ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]'' series gets this as well. First there were the official-but-subpar games for the PC and the [[Game Gear]] that were not developed by Capcom. Most of the later ''[[Mega Man X]]'' games also tend to receive this treatment, since Keiji Inafune intended to end the series after ''X5'' but it was [[Executive Meddling|continued without his knowledge or input]]. And now that Inafune has left Capcom, faith in the series has now dropped to an all-time low.
* What many fans think about the modern ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]'' games, and one of the reasons there is so much skepticism about the upcoming
* ''[[Silent Hill]]'', which has become a [[Broken Base]] since the breakup of Team Silent and the series being outsourced to Western development teams. The absence of Akira Yamaoka's soundtrack work on ''Downpour'' is already getting this reaction from some.
* Some of the fans of the first three ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' games, developed by New World Computing, aren't too thrilled about the fully-3D ''Heroes V'' (Nival Interactive) and ''Heroes VI'' (Black Hole Entertainment). Of course, there's also ''Heroes IV'', the last game to be developed by NWC, which may fans simply [[Fanon Discontinuity|ignore]]. The biggest complaint is not with the gameplay changes but with the fact that the storylines of the last two games have nothing to do with [[The Verse]] of the first three games.
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' after [[John Kricfalusi]] was sacked.
* ''[[Gargoyles]]'' fans got this attitude after Disney tried to do a season without [[Greg Weisman]] and botched it up.
* Similarly, not many fans cared for the subsequent incarnations of [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]]
* Only the original ''[[Ben 10]]'' series involved [[Man Of Action]]. The sequels, ''[[Ben 10:
* This is most people's reactions to sequels to [[Don Bluth]] movies. ''[[An American Tail]]: Fievel Goes West'' gets a pass sometimes, but notably [[Steven Spielberg]] was still involved in the production as he was with the first movie.
* After [[Lauren Faust]] lessened her role on the show, ''[[My Little Pony:
