[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

Sorry guys we'll have to cut things so we can make room for the Perrin's wife story arc, the Nynaeve death fakeout and fallout, and Rand/Egwene boning. Gosh this story is so long! So unfortunate that we have to cut, but how else will I tell this useless story about a Warder and his Aes Sedai?

Utter bullshit from the writers.

If you can't tell the story of one book in more run time than the original Starwars trilogy; in more run time than the theatrical release of LoTR; in more run time than the Dune Miniseries you suck. Yet they were complaining they weren't given enough episodes.

The fuck you weren't.  They had 4 feature length movies of run time to do ONE book. They suck.

I was so happy it was cancelled because it means the turnaround time between adaptations will be shorter. Maybe in the next iteration we'll have competent writers who actually want to tell the story.
