[HATED] Adaptations done intentionally without help from the source

[u/Chill0000]

Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

I thought I remember he mentioned that he was mad they wanted to play the death of a character as a joke instead of treating it with respect

Literally never happened. There was a cute line that Geralt called Roach the best roach he ever had (his horse name that he reuses for all his horses) and he suggested a different line and they liked it and used it.

Yeah this show unfortunately has a lot of made up behind the scenes stories, due to the actual true production problems and creative friction between Henry and the showrunners, people were primed to believe any ol' nonsense youtubers made up about it.

Funny enough I saw people try just copy/pasting some of those stories to Henry's upcoming Warhammer project with amazon, which was weird.

Huge chunks of the internet recycle stories without any sort of verification, it definitely seems to be a bit worse lately with regards to movies and tv shows and behind the scenes stuff though.

Well the one story that tells me that Henry was in the right is from Beau Demayo. When he left, he protested against the writers not wanting to do source material and mocked the materials even. He currently works on x men 97 which has so far been pretty good and faithful to the original 90s series.

[u/ArttyG12 → u/Windyandbreezy]

The source being the guy who got fired from X-Men because of all the harassment and shittery leaves, well, some doubt about it's accuracy.

[u/beary_neutral → u/Windyandbreezy]

Beau Demayo was responsible for writing the most hated episode of Season 2. And lied about the reason he was fired from X-Men '97 (he sexually harassed young staffers). So maybe don't trust his word.

Lol some DeMayo apologist is mad at me.
