If you could fire one showrunner of any book/game adaption or remake/"reimagining" that has been done since 2016 who would it be?
Very tough choice for me, but I think I would fire the showrunner for Wheel of Time. I'd love to tell him to his face that I wanted someone to actually adapt the book and to not inject their personal garbage. The guy actually said that he wanted to bring out lgbt stuff that the book only hints at or doesn't go into detail about, but when the book specifically describes how people look, that doesn't seem to matter. Or the whole Dragon Reborn prophecy doesn't seem to matter amongst other things. You could've have had such a popular show with someone who actually cared about adapting the books.
I guess an honorable mention would be to fire in advance the lady who is doing the Chronicles of Narnia butchering.... I mean adaptation for Netflix, but there are so many I could pick.
Either Lauren Hissrich, the fucking cunt behind the abomination that is Shitflix's The Witcher. Or Shin Itagaki, the incompetent retard behind the disastrous 2016 anime adaptation of Berserk.
How did they mess up Berserk? One of the many mangas on my list to buy
I'll just let this clip do the talking. But in short, everything about this series was atrocious. The animation, the sound design, the soundtrack, the voice acting, the visuals, the atmosphere, the action, the storyboarding, the actual storytelling...all of it was horrendous on an amateur level. This was not the kind of thing that should have ever passed muster in a professional setting, and it's clear the idiot in charge had no idea what the hell he was doing. And this happened to Berserk, where the manga is an absolute masterclass in art and storytelling, which made the whole production come off as a gigantic middle finger to its creator and fans.
