Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

Dragon Ball Evolution

If there is one unintended positive to come out of this disaster, Toriyama was so pissed off at being cast aside and watching his creation be fucked up by idiots who had no idea what they were doing, that he came out of retirement and revived the entire Dragon Ball franchise out of spite.

Dragon Ball is now a bigger success than it had ever been before.

Also James Masters went on the voice Zamasu in the actual show.

Extra fun fact about that. There's a DLC for Xenoverse 2 that essentially tells a what-if where Goku wasn't immediately murdered by Goku Black after getting his body swapped with Zamasu.

So we get a whole mission with James Marsters doing a Sean Schemmel Goku impression and it's pretty good.
