* YMMV.{{Nintendo}}: This is one of the most common theories as to why the UsefulNotes/WiiU failed. The system was intended to aim towards both casual audiences and more hardcore gamers, however the latter group was turned off by the Wii branding and lesser hardware compared to the UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, while casual audiences were confused by the odd marketing and the gimmick, on top of being turned off by the high price. It didn't help that Nintendo placed a ton of focus on the gamepad in the marketing, as well as the non-indicative name, which led to many seeing it as an add-on for the pre-existing Wii or an upgrade in the same vein as the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance SP or the UsefulNotes/NintendoDSi as opposed to a brand new console altogether. As a result, the Wii U ended up appealing to nobody (outside of Nintendo fans) and failed to gain traction.

* YMMV.TheThreeMusketeers2011: The film can be difficult to rate objectively as an adaptation, because it clearly tries to be as faithful to the novel as possible in some elements and just as crazy and embellished in others. This ultimately played against the movie, as gimmicks like the airships and cool weapons repelled purist fans of the novel and period film enthusiasts, while conventional action flick fans were likely uninterested due to the film being an adaptation of a swashbuckling novel (which wouldn't probably cater to a wide audience either). The fact that an infamous pop-corn director like Creator/PaulWSAnderson was in charge of the film didn't help either.

* Trivia.HighGuardianSpice: Per [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eTz_HVWmNAU Daftpina]], this was why the show wound up being TV-MA. The team was told to “age up” the show, likely because of {{Website/Crunchyroll}}’s main demographic being Anime fans more used to such content. This despite most concept art pointing towards a more child-friendly series, contributing to the UncertainAudience problem the show developed.

* YMMV.{{Heathers}}: ''[under the 2018 show]]'' In theory, the show was meant to appeal to the younger, teen generation, but it does so by playing straight ideas that most of them don't have, which would instead appeal to much older, much more conservative viewers, who are unlikely to be interested in a show about high school.
-->'''WebVideo/SarahZ''': It seems like neither of these groups (Social Justice Warriors and more Conservative groups) actually like the adaptation and both are convinced it was created to pander to the other.
