[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

They say TV shows operate on a different formula especially in the days of multiple screens. You gotta give more info at a faster / easier pace to the people who haven't read the books.

Which I think is total bullshit and hollywood has no spine because plenty of shows succeed without this formula, but that's the reasoning.

That sounds like the kind of argument Wheel of Prime apologists would give.

Sure but I literally said it was bullshit so take that mess elsewhere.
