Have you read Dianetics? I would say that it's pretty awful on its own.

I'd have to say The Walking Dead. As far as I remember, it spawned the zombie craze, and nothing good came from that.

28 Days Later probably did that, followed up with the remake of Dawn of the Dead. Walking Dead didn't get popular until it landed on AMC and TWD has been in publication since 2003.

It was a product of the craze more than anything, the romero remakes predated it by a good bit.

Left 4 Dead. I am so fucking sick of zombies now.

Iron Man. Fine enough, but brought on the "beancounter's immersion" of mandatory cameo crossovers and a deluge of watered-down samey-ness.

Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows films. That started the "splicing up a work into several parts for $$$" thing.

And then AMC started doing it TV shows too. They already have it easy with a 14 episode season, but now they're splitting up the last season into 7 episode seasons over 2 years.

Really pissed me off when I got to season 7 of Mad Men on Netflix only to realize that they only had the "first half" of season 7.

The first I saw of that was Battlestar Galactica. They started that nonsense with Season 2, releasing it in two parts, both at full price.

Harry Potter in general. Every goddamn five-volume young adult series to come after it and get adapted into a movie series.

Whichever was the first in this current deluge of post-apocalyptic/dystopian teen romance books. The Hunger Games?

I think the supernatural teen rom/drams are worse.

But those were based on Twilight, which was bad.
