What's the most unforgivable sin done in media that you're still bitter about? (piefed.social)

I still can't stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That's a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they're fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.

That's actually really interesting. I remembered the whole reason the original FLCL aired on adult swim was related to a sweepstakes where the winner got to set the programming for the night.

They wrote passive aggressive bumpers about it so I got the idea nobody there liked FLCL. Finding out they were involved with the sequels makes them even more uncanny

That board meeting must have been like "Oh okay. FLCL sequel. What should it even be about?"

"I dunno man. Just sexualize some minors or something. I think that's what the original show was about so that's all it should take to make a sequel"
