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

It'd be really funny to have Ellie be played by a forty year old woman and have everyone in universe act like she's a normal 14-year-old

Funnily enough there is a TV show that is actually a 14 year old girl played by an adult, and all the other actors look much more age appropriate. (The reason is she's telling the story of her days in high school, so her adult self is in the place of her when she was a teen)

I cannot remember what its called tho.
