Powerpuff Girls managed to be bad enough to have several bad reboots until I stopped caring or paying attention to them.

Transformers started as a glorified toy commercial and even at its best didn't wander far from that, but the Michael Bay era almost killed my fondness for the setting and its characters. Almost. The Bumblebee movie seemed like a sincere apology attempt.

The bloated and unnecessary Hobbit film trilogy. :why-angel: Check out the short and beautiful Rankin Bass animated movie instead.

Most Disney live-action remakes of animated films sucked, but the Mulan one was especially insulting and utterly missed the point of both the literary original and the animated film that was a lot more respectful to it.

    Most Disney live-action remakes

    Is the remake of The Lion King a "live action" remake, or a "3D animation" remake? :soviet-hmm:

    But yeah they're so garbage. I remember watching the Aladdin one in theaters (my family was going and I didn't want to be a killjoy) and it was like watching the original film on fast forward with random scenes from bad romantic comedies intercut with it. Then there's how they really tried to do girlboss feminism with Jasmine, only to have her get completely sidelined and rescued in the final scene by a man anyway! Like jfc have any of the higher ups at Disney actually done the reading because it seems like their brand of feminism completely cynical and out of touch. :astronaut-1:
