The Netflix live-action Avatar remake.
The animated show is such a materpiece, but it's still a kids show. There was potential to flesh out some of the more adult themes (war, romance) the show touches on in a way a kids show couldn't. But other than that, they should have stuck very, very close to the original show.
Well, maybe I wasn't "highly excited", I was pretty sure they would screw it up.
But what I couldn't have expected was just how badly they would screw it up. It took less then 5 minutes of watching to realise that the show will be bad (as they open with a prime example of "tell, don't show") and it really just went downhill from there. I think I dropped it on episode 4 and it took a lot of forcing myself to even get that far.
What's really surprising is how once piece ended up being pretty good, after all the garbage adaptations.
Oda the writer of the comic had a lot of control and forced them to make changes and do reshoots.

That would explain it. One person that actually gave a shit or even knew the content.
I don't follow anime at all, but I loved the live action One Piece.
