For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

    She Hulk is great! What did you think of Moon Knight? I’m glad the MCU has not one but two confirmed plural superheroes!

        A superhero for whom there’s more than one person in their head. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are a plural system, and so are Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley. Although Banner and Hulk have integrated into a single personality by the time of Endgame. In She Hulk, Bruce is actually really surprised that Jen isn’t plural. I guess in the MCU he hasn’t realised that his plurality is caused by being beaten by his father like in the comics. He thinks his plurality is caused by gamma radiation up until Jen turns into a hulk but isn’t plural.

            Moon Knight’s arc dealing with a fictive alter is great, but I’d be even happier with the MCU’s handling of plurality if there were an endogenic superhero. An endogenic system is one that wasn’t formed by trauma. A lot of people in the plural community, called sysmedicalists, think plurality can only be a mental disorder. I’d like it if the MCU was brave enough to include a counterexample to this belief.
