Things I like/love that have been ruined in canon.

In no particular order:

Star Trek: I was so-so about all the TV sequels/prequels (liked DS9 for about a minute). But the movies . . . Fuck Amok Time, they gave us Horny On Demand Spock and Kirk sexually harassing females across the universe.

Star Wars: Jar Jar Binks. Need I say more?

Doctor Who: I really enjoyed the original series, even though it fell apart in the last years. The remake made The Doctor a romantic/sexual being. No no fucking goddamn no.

Supernatural: After Season 5, took everything everybody loved and broke it, killed off favorite characters for Shock Value, then faked bringing them back just to kill them again. Really really hated its fans.

Sherlock: Second season became super self-conscious that it was A Hit, started mocking women because being written by a gay man and a misogynist. Really really hated its fans, then whined when fans stopped watching and the series was canceled.

Sleepy Hollow: Was just staring to get into the Ship when its creators literally verbally attacked fans on Twitter, then intentionally destroyed Ichabod/Abby by killing off Abby. Really REALLY hated its fans.

American Auto: Started out clever and funny like The Office, in Season 2 devolved into 4th grade potty humor.

Clarice: Gave it a chance even though there was no Lecter. First two episodes showed promise, then made Clarice a whiny, weak character, then added an incredibly ahistoric 1991 trans “women” FBI agent -- at a time when in reality gay male agents were fired for fear of their being blackmailed -- who literally yelled at Clarice, and Clarice took it. Thankfully its ratings plummeted after that and it was canceled.

Grantchester: Watched it for Geordie, then they had Geordie cheat on his wife. NOPE.

Foyle’s War: The original series ended perfectly. Then they dragged it from its grave and made a thin, forced series about the Cold War. Bleh.

Inspector Lewis: The original series ended perfectly. Then they dragged it from its grave, made Dr. Hobson clingy and whiny, ruined the dynamic of Lewis and Hathaway, ended it terribly. Bastards.

Endeavor: Revealed Thursday cheated on his wife during the War, then had Thursday accept bribe money, then the series finale . . . Don’t ask.

Shetland: Perez goes against his ethics and tries to fuck his close friend’s wife. But especially they had Tosh r*ped. Fuck that shit forever.

Once Upon a Time: First season was wonderful. Second season iffy. After that turned the series into a promotional vehicle for Disney movies. Robert Carlyle gained 30 pounds, lost all energy, and mailed in his performance. They tried to end it well, but brought it back rebooted and godawful, especially by killing off Belle. Truly, truly awful.

MCU: I loved the first Thor, first Captain America, first Avengers, the Ironman trilogy, and especially Spider-man: Homecoming. Then it all went to fucking hell. Don’t get me started.

Miraculous Ladybug: From season 3 on, its creators took it from being a fun, exciting, sweet, enjoyable superhero story to trying to turn it into part of the MCU. Fucking do NOT get me started about what they did to my man Gabriel.

Possible Future Canon Ruin:

Father Brown: 3 cast members have left the series and been replaced. Haven’t seen Season 10 yet, but I have a bad feeling about this . . .

Addendum:

Rewatched Seasons 7 & 8 of Foyle’s War and actually liked them quite a lot. Me having a crush on Tim McMullan helped.

Have seen Season 10 of Father Brown . . .

The directing is slow and stiff. There’s no dynamic worth mentioning among the new characters. All the episodes felt like dress rehearsals, not polished performances.
