None of them even care about the IP they just want to be a creator and have a show and make millions and they are ultra successful at that.
The witcher was particularly egregious because she kept basically bragging about just not caring about the IP and seeing it as her chance to create something she wanted.
If she went to netflix and said hey i have this new ip and i want you to take a look at it, for one thing her writing is god awful so they'd say no so instead she goes and sell's witcher, and then once it gets greenlit she starts turning it into the show she wanted to make that was not the witcher and now it's both neither the witcher, nor the show she wanted to make and tried to sneak it in it's a horrendous mash up of the witcher and whatever shitty ideas she had for the original IP she wanted to do.
Why hollywood people don't understand this and don't say tell me why you love this IP, tell me who you have talked to who is behind this IP that are down with your vision, tell me who you're collaborating from that IP and agree to show us scripts way in advance and also agree to be immediately replaced if you start trying to completely change everything because you have some secret agenda to sneak your own show on top of this IP you're claiming you want to make.
People in Hollywood think the Fans of these IP are so stupid that they'll watch and eat up whatever they make just cause of the name! So the writers don't bother to cater to fans and make something totally different and then are surpise when the fans hate it
the way studio heads, project managers, the people who greenlit all these projects go i assume as soon as they see a popular IP they go ahead with them because they'll take some kinda massive bonus for getting a project going, how the project goes doesn't seem to matter.
It feels like there used to be a time ceo's and senior execs used to get paid more out of direct profits of successful projects and got fired for failed projects and now everyone just gets paid upfront regardless and no one seems to get fired for constant failed projects.
Netflix is run like absolute trash, so many awful films, tv series and ruining the few good series they've had. it's crazy.
