* The biggest example concerns the horror genre - whether direct-to-video or low budget in general, no matter how many are respected by the fandom, there is a stigma that these things are bad, even though most big-budget horror movies are - and have been for a long time - riding the coattails of low-budget independent films like ''Film/SawI'' and Film/ParanormalActivity, and despite Hollywood films that are respected by the fandom, such as ''Film/{{Sinister}}'', often having much lower budgets than their usual horror films.

* When ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog'' was announced, the redesign given to Sonic for the film proved to be the one thing that united the infamously BrokenBase of the Sonic franchise in one belief: it was ''the worst''. Thankfully, the studio listened to the criticism and would WinBackTheCrowd with a new design for Sonic that was much more faithful to the games, but the fandom, and other commenters online, will always poke fun at the "sleep paralysis demon" that Paramount pushed to use in the film.

** The franchise has garnered a reputation for [[GirlShowGhetto lackluster representation of women]]. In spite of the critical and financial success of each entry, the franchise did not have solo film with a female lead until 2019's ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' (which is itself [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement controversial]]). Fan-favorite ComicBook/BlackWidow, who was a founding members of the ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', won't be having her own solo movie until 2020 and has mostly played a supporting character in movies with male leads. Some have criticized the later ''Avengers'' movies for downplaying Widow and ultimately [[spoiler: killing her off without having a proper funeral (in contrast to the one Tony Stark got) in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'']]. Things behind the cameras weren't any better. Marvel Studios fired Creator/PattyJenkins from ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' over creative difference, thereby squandering the opportunity to release the first female-directed blockbuster movie. Even the merchandise discriminates against women with Black Widow getting replaced with Ultron drones and Hawkeye in the toylines for ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' while Gamora was absent from the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' merch. The issue became so pervasive that even Creator/MarkRuffalo, who played the Hulk since the first ''Avengers'' movie, openly called for more female representation in films and merchandise. Granted, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has been working tireless to increase representation like bumping the heroine Wasp to share top billing in ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', and much of the underrepresentation was due to ExecutiveMeddling courtesy of Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter. Nonetheless, the stigma of the franchise's alleged sexism isn't helped when the rival Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse (a newer and more divisive superhero franchise) managed to beat the MCU to releasing the first acclaimed superheroine movie and first female-directed tentpole movie with ''Film/WonderWoman2017'', which incidentally happens to be directed by Patty Jenkins.

** Disney executive Alan Horn is considered one of the most respected film executives for green-lighting ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter films]]'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' when he was at Warner Bros and dissolving the meddlesome Marvel creative committee on the request of Kevin Feige. But the average moviegoer is most likely to remember Horn for his catastrophic firing of Creator/JamesGunn from the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' films. Right before the third ''Guardians'' movie was about to start filming, Horn fired Gunn for old offensive Tweets that were unearthed by alt-right trolls, unintentionally empowering said trolls in the process. Despite the outrage from audiences and Gunn's previously apologies, Disney was forced to stick by their decision as they were finalizing a multi-billion dollar buyout of Fox. After completing the acquisition and failing to find a replacement director, Horn rehired Gunn but the damage was already done. Not only was Marvel Studios forced to scrap many of its post-''Film/AvengersEndgame'' cosmic storylines that Gunn was supposed to oversee, but Gunn also decided to direct a ''Suicide Squad'' sequel for the rival DCEU in the interim, meaning that ''Guardians'' 3 will be delayed by ''two'' years. Even worse, Horn had been happily retired until Disney brought him back in just to go through all this. It certainly made Horn more cautious the next time someone in the Disney fold was accused of sexual misconduct, less than a year later, as Disney has yet to comment on that situation.

* ''Film/GrossePointBlank'': Martin Blank had nothing to do with the death of little Boudreaux. Little Boudreaux was a retriever, and just following his instincts and trying to fetch a stick, which happened to be one of the sticks of dynamite the "three junk bond fuckos" were using to flush out game birds, while Martin was attaching a bomb to their car. However, the incident was enough to brand Martin as "the guy who blew up a dog" for his entire career.

** ''FilmXMenDarkPhoenix'' is more or less Fox's final nail in the coffin for its Marvel universes, in that it's financially bombing '''''[[EpicFail harder than Fant4stic did]]''''', and more egregiously ending a mostly beloved film series with a rather boring, plotless, shallow adaptation of one of the most well-known comic arcs in Marvel's history - ''[[HistoryRepeats one that they already tried doing before]]'' with ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', which people are now considering superior than the purported AuthorsSavingThrow version that is this one. Fox was also even planning to adapt the Dark Phoenix story into a trilogy, [[ForegoneConclusion something that immediately fails given that Marvel is getting the film rights for the X-Men and Fantastic Four anyway]]; showing that Fox not only failed ''harder'' trying to fix a previous stumble in their series, but also clearly DidntThinkThisThrough when it comes to wrapping up said series properly.
