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?

I actually like the fact that it was so bad it got cancelled. This being my favorite series ever, I was extremely disappointed after S1 thinking the general public will now forever relate this wonderful tale with whatever happened in the show.

Luckily, they made it even worse, got cancelled, and everyone ever completely forgot about it.

I’m optimistic that in 20, 50, or even a 100 years, the entertainment industry will evolve to the point where they will be able to adapt fantasy series (any other genres as well) as good as LotR was done.

I didn't even bother to watch, I knew I'd be so disappointed.

Season 3 was ok and had one amazing episode.

So at least it got better. But it is hard recommend if you go from horrible(S1) to bad(S2) to ok(S3).

And then it got cancelled.

Nah mang I was really enjoying it. I was sad that it got cancelled.

It wasn't canceled because it was bad. Holy fuck this thread has a bunch of whiners in it that want to do nothing but complain about shit that never happened to push their own agenda.

[u/Tankanko → u/ChocoPuddingCup]

So it was cancelled because it was good then? Hmmm...

[u/ChocoPuddingCup → u/Tankanko]

It was canceled because it was expensive, and there were three parties arguing over the direction to take it: iWoT (who we can all agree shouldn't own the rights to WoT), Amazon, and Sony. Season 3 was actually the best season it had, and it was much closer to the books. So piss off with your bookcloak bullshit.

[u/Tankanko → u/ChocoPuddingCup]

It was very widely panned and only had a strong opening release to show for it. It was canceled for multiple reasons, but it was not good, if it was they'd resolve these issues.

“I liked something that’s objectively bad and now whenever someone mentions it was bad on the internet, I get offended.”

[u/ChocoPuddingCup → u/spade030]

Or "I liked something that somebody else doesn't like, therefore I am wrong because they don't like it."
