Someone was going to say it, and honestly I can't think of any origin stories which ruin the characters that I even bothered with.

Like, the hobbit trilogy is bad, but I don't think it ruins Bilbo Baggins.

Kevin Smith wrote a Batman story that takes place during Batman's first year in which a flashbang he throws into a room startles him and he pees himself. Does that count?

I don't hate it, but I did prefer the idea of her just being a self hating goblin.

Amon from Korra is kind of ruined by his backstory.

it really annoyed me for the same reasons. i dont full on hate her or anything but she went from my favorite character down several pegs just because it added a layer to it that made it way less interesting to me despite increased complexity

DCs New 52 retconned the iconic Mr. Freeze origin story from the tv show and turned him into a creepy incel. Think it got retconned back though.

Also I was never a fan of Wonder Womans born from clay thing. Something about it doesnt sit right with me, and it seems pointlessly contrived.

But whats even weirder is that in the Ninja Turtles comics, April O Neil was revealed to have been a drawing brought to life by a crystal. Not really sure that was a story that needed to be told. >_>

Oh yeah, that was stupid as fuck. It was something like he never even knew Nora, she was just the first person to be cryogenically frozen and he became obsessed with her?
