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?

Lilo and Stitch (2025)

Apparently, 'ohana means giving up custody of your sister to study marine biology.

I almost thought sticking to the more "realistic" ending was ballsy, but then of course they decide to end it with Nani being able to use Pleakly's portal gun thing to visit in person whenever she wants anyway. So none of it matters, I guess.

Also, fuck Disney for being cowards and not letting Pleakly crossdress.

[u/Sean_13 → u/under_the_c]

It is really weird times when cross dressing has been normalised for decades (E.g. Bugs bunny) but only now is it deemed unacceptable

[u/1_Am_Andrew_Ryan → u/Sean_13]

Yes, because now it will upset some men.

Men who were boys watching Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry and Ms Doubtfire etc etc etc
