Audience-Alienating Premise

This entry under AudienceAlienatingPremise.Western Animation doesn't really talk about the show's premise and sounds more like They Changed It, Now It Sucks!

• The 2015/2016 reboot of Blinky Bill, to fans of the "classic" (1992-2005) series. Fans were extremely divided about the new character designs, and whether the switch to CGI animation was a good thing or not.
  • To add insult to injury for fans of the classic series, they also changed most of the supporting cast. Blinky and Nutsy are still there, of course, along with Splodge, Marcia and Wombo... but there's no Flap, as well as no members of the Dingo family. In fact, Marcia is the only original character from the classic series to return, since Blinky, Nutsy, Wombo and Splodge all appeared in the original books from the 1930s.
  • Replacing Flap is a frill-necked lizard named Jacko, who takes Flap's place as Blinky's sidekick. ^note A character named Jacko already appeared in the classic series, but he was a kookaburra, and there was also a frill-necked lizard, named Ruff. Jacko was also a kookaburra in the original 1930s books, so essentially changing his character to a completely different species was considered by the fans to be a huge middle-finger towards not only the classic series, but also to Dorothy Wall's books.
    • Due to all of these changes infuriating and alienating the fans of the classic series, as well as Australians in general due to said series being just as, if not more iconic than the 1930s books, it's no wonder why Yoram Gross and Flying Bark made the decision to Un-Reboot the series a few years later.

Would it be OK to remove this?

Okay, I'll see that.

There's a separate cleanup for this trope that would probably be more suitable for bringing your example up.

While we're here though, might as well note I started a wick check for this trope that I still haven't gotten to finishing.
