* The Old Mill at at the historic Kennywood amusement park had been rethemed multiple times over it's 100+ year history, but it's biggest re-skin was in 2004 when Kennywood, wanting to modernize the ride, changed it to ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'s Nightmare''. This change did not go well over with most parkgoers, as it was criticized for its cheap cardboard cutout effects, a questionable use of chromadepth 3D, and tons of ProductPlacement at the beginning of the ride. Despite this and the noticeable lack of upkeep, the ride lasted sixteen years before it was changed back to The Old Mill and it's classic "haunted WildWest'' theme, to critical acclaim.

* The 2020 redesign of Froot Loops mascot Toucan Sam got a ''massive'' {{hatedom}} as soon as it was revealed. Common complaints about Sam's new redesign include his beak being overlayered with a rainbow gradient instead of having individual stripes and his mouth ''overlayering'' the edge of the beak, his eyes being overly large and sparkly, looking like he is constantly on some sort of FantasticDrug, and being extremely lazily designed in general. It's pretty clear that Kellogg's is trying to [[FollowTheLeader emulate modern cartoon styles]] while having absolutely no idea what made those work. Plenty of artists on Twitter have made their own redesigns in response. The ad campaign didn't last a year before Kellogg's scrapped it due to the immense backlash and gave Toucan Sam and his associated ads a second redesign in a much less obnoxious artstyle that was, for the most part, better received.

* The long-running Hershey's "Christmas Bells" commercial (with Kisses ringing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas") was altered in 2020: it starts off as normal, then suddenly a hand picks up one of the Kisses and it instantly changes to a father and daughter decorating cookies with Kisses set to a remix of the music, which is what Hershey's claimed was the real icon of the Christmas season. Fans were not happy about this change, and backlash was immediately posted online. The controversy was so much that Hershey's cancelled plans to replace the original "Christmas Bells" ad with the new one and began airing both versions interchangeably, before pulling an AuthorsSavingThrow by [[TakeAThirdOption debuting a third version]] in which the bell that was taken returns to finish the ad as normal. The original 2020 commercial is still seen during subsequent holiday seasons, and fans still don't take kindly to it.

Updating the last part as of the Nickelodeon section; the 2009 logo is still disliked even after the backlash cooled down, and I'm frankly happy that Nick bring back the old logo after 14 years of seeing that "modern" logo.


* The 2009 Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} logo was torn apart by upset Nick fans upon being revealed, with the majority of complaints being that it looked "bland" in comparison to the classic "splat" logo. The logo was so unpopular when it debuted that some believe that the logo's designer, Eric Zim, is actually an alias that was used to protect the designer's identity. This died down overtime, though, as many consider the new logo to be just as iconic as the old one.

For some people, the very act of adaptation ''is'' decay. A film version of something should be a direct [[ShotForShotRemake word-for-word transcription]], with utmost care that the sets, costumes and people be reproduced in every detail. If a character who wears a homburg in the original now wears a fedora, that will be enough to ruin the character, and therefore ruin the film. It will be all you will hear about from these fans on message boards, with them going on at length to explain how their homburg visually defined their entire personality in a way that a fedora never could.

this is a bit tautological; bad changes are bad because they're bad? Adjust a bit. I don't really buy Prospect theory is that relevant - I get the analogy, but it's distant.


This is not only used for adaptations and translations. It is also applicable to ongoing series where a significant change is made between seasons. This can be explained in terms of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_theory prospect theory]], where fans are much more averse to losing any aspects of the original, compared to the enjoyment gained from any "improvements".



* When producers (or executives above them) make drastic changes just for the heck of it, it can get rid of any redeeming qualities the property had. An established franchise making sudden, drastic and often unnecessary changes usually heralds the beginning of RunningTheAsylum and/or an AudienceAlienatingEra.
* If fans liked the franchise for what it was, and then it is totally changed, the new stuff may be good and please both old fans and new people coming in, but it's valid to complain that what people ''previously'' liked is probably never coming back. If a complete overhaul of a franchise is old enough, fans who want the franchise to go back to its roots are not rejecting change, they are demanding change ''back'' to what provably worked.
* An adaptation/reboot that has too many changes can become a bastardization of the source material that seems like an insult to the fans, or even become InNameOnly; fans can argue about why adapting/rebooting something popular to profit on the existing audience, but don't deliver something that connects to them.
* The introduction of online updates to video games can make the criticisms more valid: unlike a new sequel that can simply be [[FanonDiscontinuity ignored]], updates can effectively make the game they enjoyed non-existent. {{Nerf}}s are particularly likely to cause fan uproar. The same can apply to any other media that goes through [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion changes in rereleases]] and [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the original version becomes unavailable]].

* The 1985 "New Coke" formula was made during [[UsefulNotes/PepsiChallenge the cola wars between Coca-Cola and Pepsi during The '80s]]. It was an intent to change the old Coca-Cola's formula by making it NewAndImproved. "New Coke", as it has come to be known, tested well in blind taste tests, but it was a major failure once it was actually released on April 23, 1985 and consumers realized that the original Coke had been replaced. Though New Coke was accepted by many Coca-Cola drinkers, many more resented the change, especially in the southern part of America, where Coke is part of a local identity. Coke was not prepared for the backlash to this change being so intense, later saying of it "To hear some tell it, April 23, 1985, was a day that will live in marketing infamy... spawning consumer angst the likes of which no business has ever seen." New Coke was reversed by bringing the old formula back as "Coca-Cola Classic" with New Coke getting yanked off the shelves on July 11, just 79 days after New Coke's launch. Despite a small run of New Coke to promote Season 3 of ''Series/StrangerThings'' getting more positive reviews from consumers that hadn't grown up with it, New Coke remains one of the biggest flops in the modern food industry's history.

* The long-running Hershey's "Christmas Bells" commercial (with Kisses ringing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas") was altered in 2020: it starts off as normal, then suddenly a hand picks up one of the Kisses and it instantly changes to a father and daughter decorating cookies with Kisses set to a remix of the music, which is what Hershey's claimed was the real icon of the Christmas season. Fans were not happy about this change, and backlash was immediately posted online. The controversy was so much that Hershey's cancelled plans to replace the original "Christmas Bells" ad with the new one and began airing both versions interchangeably, before pulling an AuthorsSavingThrow by [[TakeAThirdOption debuting a third version]] in which the bell that was taken returns to finish the ad as normal.

Not helping matters was the original ad in the campaign featured Mr. Peanut sacrificing himself in a helicopter crash, which led some to criticize it for airing following the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash in late-January 2020.

The controversy was so much that Hershey's cancelled plans to replace the original "Christmas Bells" ad with the new one and began airing both versions interchangeably, before [[TakeAThirdOption debuting a third version]] [[AuthorsSavingThrow in which the bell that was taken returns to finish the ad as normal]]. This didn't stop the original 2020 commercial from airing during the 2021 holiday season, and fans still didn't take kindly to it.

* Disney announced at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con that they were planning to turn California Adventure's Ride/TheTwilightZoneTowerOfTerror into a ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''-themed ride, later titled ''Ride/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyMissionBreakout'', which prompted an online petition to keep it as it is. (The ride itself ... as opposed to the theme ... was also revised slightly, but the general consensus is that the changes to the mechanics of the ride proper were an improvement.)

Uncanny Valley is now IUEO. Proper audience reactions are being moved to Unintentional Uncanny Valley while misuse is deleted.


* The 2020 redesign of Froot Loops mascot Toucan Sam got a ''massive'' {{hatedom}} as soon as it was revealed. Common complaints about Sam's new redesign include his beak being overlayered with a rainbow gradient instead of having individual stripes and his mouth ''overlayering'' the edge of the beak, his eyes being overly large and sparkly, looking like he is constantly on some sort of FantasticDrug, and being extremely lazily designed in general. It's pretty clear that Kellogg's is trying to [[WereStillRelevantDammit emulate modern cartoon styles]], while having [[ShallowParody absolutely no idea what made those work]] and falling deep into the UncannyValley instead. Plenty of artists on Twitter have made their own redesigns in response. The ad campaign didn't last a year before Kellogg's scrapped it due to the immense backlash and gave Toucan Sam and his associated ads a second redesign in a much less obnoxious artstyle that was, for the most part, better recieved.

For some people, the mere act of adaptation ''is'' decay. A film version of something should be a direct [[ShotForShotRemake word-for-word transcription]], with utmost care that the sets, costumes and people be reproduced in every detail. If a character who wears a homburg in the original now wears a fedora, that will be enough to ruin the character, and therefore ruin the film. It will be all you will hear about from these fans on message boards, with them going on at length to explain how their homburg visually defined their entire personality in a way that a fedora never could.

As long as it is still the same basic story and keeps all the best bits and characters intact, then it couldn't matter much less that Bob's bald, Alice dies in a train wreck instead of a car crash, the football game ended with a different score, and they cut the watermelon scene, right? It's a bit of a shame they screwed that bit up, but really, it's not like the entire work is DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER, right?
