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.
Are you my friend? I’ve had to stop taking any of his movie or TV show recommendations without extra verification. He thinks that everything he watches is great. I kinda envy how he can enjoy literally any TV show or movie.
