An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

[u/Morr4Seiya]

Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

Butchering the message so bad…it’s a crime

As good as "How bad can i be" is, "Biggering" Is wayyyy better

Definitely can see It as one of the best villain songs OAT if they stuck with it

The original Onceler song from the 1972 movie "Sitting Down with Myself" also did a great job of showing how pathetic and hypocritical the Onceler truly was. There's a great comparison vid on it by Shady Doorags on YT

I would have done is keep How Bad Can I Be then the Biggering as a darker reprise once the Lorax leaves and then flashback ends.

Wow that’s actually a way better song
