History YMMV / CodeLyokoEvolution

* ActorShipping: Quentin×Mélanie, popular even before the actors were known to be playing Ulrich and Yumi respectively. A bit different from other examples in that they are actually currently dating (and caused quite an uproar when they revealed it!). Becomes adorably sweeter when the two eventually become married and have a daughter together in TheNewTwenties.

** The previous series had the Lyoko Warriors finally accept Sissi as a friend to the group that put an end to their feud (and they still do in ''Evolution''), yet she's OutOfFocus in this series, when she could've ''easily'' taken Laura's place (a role the {{Prequel}} season from the original series had already toyed with and which the final episode hinted at) as the Seventh Warrior, meaning that fans once again miss out on Sissi actually fighting on Lyoko, making matters worse is that Sissi could easily act as a means to cover the Warriors' trails from her father.
** Speaking of Sissi, Herve and Nicholas her two minions from the original series are absent from this series, with only the latter getting a name drop (implying Nicholas was going to appear in some form). Many have felt with Sissi now a friend to the Lyoko Warriors meant that Herve could have easily taken up Sissi's old role as TheRival to Jeremie and antagonize the group or even have Laura take up Sissi's old role as part of Herve's friend group, her former bully victims, Milly and Tamiya are completely absent in this series when they were ''major'' characters in the original animated series.

** Back to Laura, she was clearly set up to be a full fledged enemy to the Lyoko Warriors after joining them temporarily (in a similar vein to William) [[spoiler:following her betrayal in "Mutiny", that lead to her eventual banishment from the team and she immediately uses the contact card Tyron gave to her earlier to identify the gang, exposing their identities and that of Kadic to him, setting her up to be hired by Tyron to work for him to potentially becoming a Ninja.]] Unfortunately the series wound up getting cancelled before the Lyoko Warriors even get a chance to actually fight and or reason with her.

** The 2D being replaced by live-action, of course. When it got announced, half of the fanbase was excited while the others were crying the death of the series. (Which ultimately turned out to be the latter as ).

* FanonDiscontinuity: A lot of fans think this of the series. That a new creative team is working on it, with the old one only there for the first two transitional episodes, makes this even easier. [[note]]This even extends to the original creators of the original series as well and to some degree Sophie.[[/note]]

** Fans are divided about whether Laura [[spoiler:being excluded from the group and getting her memory erased at the end of "Mutiny"]] was a well-deserved punishment or [[spoiler:a {{Hypocrite}} move from Jeremy, considering how many times he himself ended up putting the Lyoko-Warriors in trouble with his own mistakes]], considering how massively hated Laura was in the series and how big of a threat she was to the Aelita×Jérémie ship, many were glad [[spoiler:she was banned from the group]].
* DieForOurShip: Laura ''wasn't'' well-received by Aelita×Jérémie fans when it was revealed she would serve as TheRival to Aelita. And it only got worse after her introduction episode. The show later downplays the LoveTriangle, and it's solely about Laura being less of a team player, and getting on everybody's nerves.

* {{Moe}}: While the live action version of the Lyoko Warriors closely resemble their animated counterparts, the 3D models of Yumi and Aelita in Lyoko are considered to be far more adorable than their original 3D selves from the previous series, especially with their expressions.

** Back to Laura, she was clearly set up to be a full fledged enemy to the Lyoko Warriors [[spoiler:following her betrayal in "Mutiny", eventual banishment from the team and she immediately uses the contact card Tyron gave to her earlier to identify the gang, exposing their identities and that of Kadic, setting her up to be hired by Tyron to work for him to potentially becoming a Ninja.]] Unfortunately the series wound up cancelled before the Lyoko Warriors get a chance to actually fight her.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The 3D portions of the episodes are ''vastly'' superior in terms of design and looks (most notably dropping the infamous big foreheads of the original 3D designs). The Factory building itself is also quite impressive to look at, even looking fairly realistic. The reactivation of the Supercomputer, especially, is a wonder to see. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80apDVFYp0U Return to the Past animation]] is also evocative of the original, but much more lively.

* TakeThatScrappy: Laura, a polarizing figure in the team and arguably the most polarizing character of the entire franchise, [[spoiler:but has her memory wiped after betraying the group and essentially gets booted off the main cast and becomes an permanent enemy to the team.]]

** Speaking of Laura, her sharing the last name of Gauthier, implies she could be related to Theo Gauthier, a minor one shot character from Season 1 of the original animated series who had a thing for Yumi, said character who could've easily teamed up with Laura after her FaceHeelTurn to antagonize the Lyoko Warriors. However Theo is nowhere to be seen.

** Downplayed with William. One one part, several fans wished to see his original Lyoko avatar to see what were his original powers. However, most fans argues that he is much better in ''Evolution'' since he permanently joined the team, still stood out (since he's unable to deactivate towers), was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, and kept [[FaustianRebellion the powers XANA gave him]] in Season 4.

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: While the actors (and the series overall) were heavily criticized for being wooden in places, Mélanie Tran's portrayal of Yumi, as well as Bastien Thelliez's portrayal of Jim, were seen as harmless at worst for the former and stellar for the latter. The actors do seem to get better the further the series progresses, however, it helps that they look exactly like their animated counterparts.

* QuestionableCasting: [[BrokenBase Depending which part of the fanbase you ask]] when it comes to the main actors, though many agree that the castings for Ulrich, Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi, Jim and Franz Hopper were spot on as they attempted to look almost as close as their animated counterparts as possible, with Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi, Jim and Franz Hopper agree to be the best attempt at bringing their animated counterparts to live action (though Jeremie's and Aelita's portrayals would be highly criticized for going against what was established in the original series). Where as the worst offenders of this was Anthea (who is a ''blonde'' instead of her canonical pink hair), Sissi (who is also blonde in this series, though her being blonde was chalked up to a line Odd said in the original series), her father Principal Delmas (who not only looks younger than the original series version and is clean shaven, he ''doesn't even look like his animated counterpart'' at all, nor does he attempt to even resemble the character in spirit giving him a major case of AdaptionalAttractiveness), William (who looks far too similar in appearance to ''Ulrich'' to the point they could easily pass as siblings) and Odd (who's not only brown haired in this series and lacks his iconic AnimeHair, he's also closer to the age Odd is by the time the series starts and is the second youngest of the entire cast next to Jeremie who got a major case of DawsonCasting).

** The fact everyone except William can now deactivate towers instead of Aelita alone. [[note]]{{Justified}} as XANA did this in order to [[BackFromTheDead revive himself]].[[/note]]
