An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

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?

The Lorax (2012) returns to Thneedville after just one Trufulla seed is planted and congratulates the Onceler for doing good. In the original story, the seed is given to Ted with the warning "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not."

There's A TON of examples from this movie like

-taking away the oncler's agency by having his family encourage him to be evil instead of him falling into it himself

• having the lorax advertise a gas guzzling car in marketing and labeling it as lorax approved. Which is something they make fun of IN THE MOVIE!

• writing one of the best villian songs ever (biggering), only to cut it for being too anti corporate for the LORAX and BLATANTLY anti corporate story

Like holy fuck this movie is a train wreck inside and our

Exactly, the whole thing feels like they completely missed the point of their own story. Cutting “Biggering” while having the Lorax endorse a gas guzzler is especially wild.
