So he took my sweet, lovely, earnest orphan Anne and made her a LIAR? 0_0
I feel violated.
And yes, his third movie was an abomination, and the second one strayed from the plot way too much as well. I only really liked the first one. And Megan Follows is indeed a great Anne.
I had grave doubts when he announced he was doing a prequel, but I didn't realize she wasn't an orphan in it. I loved seeing Megan and Jonathan again in the 3rd one, but the story was really stupid, as you said, so I didn't have much faith in Kevin Sullivan after that. Add to that the animated Anne series he produced a while back (I only saw a trailer for it, but it looked awful), and I really wasn't hoping for much from this one.
It really is sad, because I adored the first two. :(
And I think there's a difference between writing fanfic out of love, that honors the spirit and intentions of the original, and writing it for profit. So I don't think you're being hypocritical :)
(Also, I don't know if it's that LMM's estate wasn't careful, or if it's that Anne is public domain these days? You can get the first several of them on Gutenberg, anyway.)
And introducing a whole new mythology to the unknowing masses and and making money off them is in no way equal to Fanfiction, where the readers already know the original story and everybody puts the toys back once they've finished playing with them. Also, Megan Follows was never my Anne and the thrid movie sucked.

What is wrong with that man that he thinks butchering the Anne franchise is such a good idea?
