[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

Yep, i feel like op is conflating alot of shit to fit with his personal feelings

Yeah, the Supergirl thing isn't even true, it just gets touted everywhere. The director made sure he read the og comic book after he read the movie script so he could judge the two on their own terms rather than conflate the two.

Video game/comic fans and making shit up on the internet name a more iconic duo.

It’s completely off base, because Supergirl is more of an adaptation of True Grit than it is of Woman of tomorrow, and it is faithful to that, for better or worse
