The Bayverse Effect

When a (usually live action) adaptation of a popular cartoon is hated and it's redeeming qualities are ignored because the fans of the cartoon are stubborn and do not like their favorite show being rebooted.
"Dude, the Michael Bay transformers movies were shit"
"They had some redeeming qualities despite the writing, the designs were actually really cool, you're just too used to the original blocky designs. Classic case of The Bayverse Effect."

The Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.
In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

The Floyd Effect

Short for "The George Floyd Effect". When a population has an extreme reaction to an isolated incident involving only a few people out of hundreds of millions of people, usually due to media focus and sensationalization.
