History RuinedFOREVER / Film

** Four words: [[TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial Star. Wars. Holiday. Special.]]

* New ''{{Buffy}}'' movie reboot... WITHOUT JOSS WHEDON?! ''BLASPHEMY!!!!'' (Admittedly, in this case; it's not so much that it's not Joss Whedon, it's that it is Fran and Kaz Kuzui, who own and "[[ExecutiveMeddling ruined]]" the [[Film/BuffyTheVampireSlayer first movie]] and had no actual creative input on anything past that.)

*** For what it's worth, this reaction was pretty short-lived. After getting over the shock, many realized that anything bad Disney could do to the brand (like sub-par sequels or [[CashCowFranchise exploitative merchandising]]), Lucasfilm had already done. If anything, getting George to be more hands-off would be an improvement.
**** Of course the fact that it will become a FranchiseZombie with no clear end (Disney announced plans for James Bond-like sequels every two or three years) is still a doubt on many people's heads.

** And now Creator/{{Disney}} has bought Lucasfilm. I can hear the cries of RUINED FOREVER from here because Disney will CLEARLY turn Leia into one of their Princesses and make her MARKETABLE (which they can't because of why they can't make Giselle a Disney princess) and ANIMATE it and make it KID-FRIENDLY. I should into to the people who believe this that Pixar, Marvel, Touchstone Pictures (DeadPoetsSociety, WhoFramedRogerRabbit), and Lucasfilm are owned by Disney, yes, but are still separate divisions that fly under the Disney flag. The animated Disney team is a separate department. The live-action films are under a different department than the Animated films.

* Jason Bourne won't appear in ''The Bourne Legacy''? RUINED!
* Depending on who you are, this starts with either the first, third, or sixth ''HarryPotter'' film. Either because the FilmOfTheBook constantly sucks, because of CanonDefilment, or turning the film into a romance-centred disaster that cut out a great many important details to make way for romance. Kinda like the fanfiction people who hate the ending ships prefer.

* Every single ''StarWars'' film, novel, game, or any product ever, except for ''[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack The Empire Strikes Back]]''. While this sounds like an extreme exaggeration, if one could kindly direct oneself to any large StarWars message board at the time of the release of a new installment, one would witness hordes of supposed fans screaming that Star Wars is ruined and that nothing can ever save it, generally leading to [[InternetToughGuy someone threatening to kill]] George Lucas- [[MisBlamed regardless of how much he was involved in the project]]. These same fans usually shut up after a while, if they don't leave the fandom entirely.

** ''[[StarWarsTheOldRepublic The Old Republic]]'', though, suffers from this with too many examples to keep track off. Graphics, animation, combat, dialog, lore, all are being listed as ruining the game FOREVER. The true irony in this? People were saying this before the game was even released. [[FanDumb Imagine that.]]

** See the ''SouthPark'' episode in which the movie is [[SeriousBusiness treated like a real-life rape case]], complete with homages to (in)famous cinematic rape scenes.

** For the record, a significant portion of the people who don't like Craig as Bond feel that while ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' was a fantastic movie, Craig's still a terrible Bond. Great action star, sure, but a bad Film/JamesBond.

** To say that Star Wars Kinect is a complete bastardization of everything good about Star Wars and the absolute worst part of the Star Wars Franchise to date just because of the dance-off mode alone is a HUGE understatement!

* The ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' movie [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] has MichaelBay as executive producer... OH NOES!! The franchise will never be taken seriously again!

* While the majority of reaction has been positive, to say the least there are at least a few fans (even Frank Oz held some degree of the sentiment) of ''Film/TheMuppets'' who are crying this after Fozzie Bear introduced "fart shoes." Even if the joke was making fun of lame humor.

** This [[YourMileageMayVary seems to be]] starting to turn around somewhat thanks to the ''very'' strong [[{{Fangirl}} fanbase]] built around Andrew Garfield because of ''TheSocialNetwork'' and a general love for Emma Stone...but we shall see.

** See also: [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "The vampires are playing baseball."]].

* Daniel Craig as JamesBond. He's blonde! He can't drive stick! He wore a ''freaking life-jacket on a boat to the press conference announcing he was Bond!''. Oh, wait, ''CasinoRoyale'' was the best Bond movie in years. My bad. Can't wait for ''QuantumOfSolace''. Wait, Craig cut off part of his fingertips? Oh, dear god...

** ''Quantum of Solace'' is eerily similar to ''LicenceToKill'' in this respect. What these people do not realize, is that Craig's Bond is by far the one closest to the source material in Ian Fleming's literature. The same was true for the earlier films starring Timothy Dalton as Bond.
** For the record, a significant portion of the people who don't like Craig as Bond feel that while CasinoRoyale was a fantastic movie, Craig's still a terrible Bond. Great action star, sure, but a bad JamesBond.

** ''[[StarWarsTheOldRepublic The Old Republic]]'', though, suffers from this with too many examples to keep track off. Graphics, animation, combat, dialog, lore, all are being listed as ruining the game FOREVER. The true irony in this? The game isn't even out yet. [[FanDumb Imagine that.]]

* The very concept of "nuking the fridge". This was coined barely a week after ''IndianaJones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' came out. The thing was the coiners actually claimed they had found a "new" kind of jumping the shark, just for movies instead of TV ([[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike and even spammed YKTTW with it]]). Not only is "jumping the shark" not media-specific, but that term was coined ''years'' after the episode aired, not ''days''.

* The next ''[[Film/TheAmazingSpider-Man Spider-Man]]'' film won't be directed by SamRaimi and will feature a new cast, with a story taking place earlier than in 3, with an English actor as Peter Parker?! A reboot only years after the first film!? KILL! KILL! KILL!!!
