Made of fail is a dated piece of early internet slang meaning something is thoroughly bad, broken, or disappointing. Popularised in the mid-2000s on forums like Something Awful and 4chan, it treats 'fail' as an uncountable noun (a substance things can be made of), which was itself a novel construction at the time. The phrase has largely faded from active use but is still understood as a relic of early internet humour.
That reboot is completely made of fail — they changed everything that made the original great.
