I know I need to play Fallout and my high school aged cousin keeps telling me to play New Vegas. I’ve also heard that the controls are similar to Skyrim so that is good. Apparently the main character is female. I guess in the game you create your own character like Skyrim. There was a time when a female lead wouldn’t have made me bat an eye but in the time we live now it’s a potential red flag. Also I heard the showrunner says he isn’t following the lore in the game or something. I would imagine more guys play Fallout,but that’s the same with Halo. I used to want an Elder Scrolls/Skyrim movie but now I hope they stay far away

They wear their disinterest in the source material as a badge of pride.
Edit: pardon the word dump, Smith. I just kept going lol
One of the biggest red pills for me as an avid reader and movie watcher was the realization that “muh adaptation” is almost always used as a smokescreen to obscure the deliberate vandalism of the source material by resentful “creatives”.
The truth is most creatives are deeply arrogant and narcissistic people, and they resent being asked to simply adapt or expand on the beloved works of better writers and filmmakers.
Most Hollywood writers just want infinity dollars to work on their own pet projects (which no one seems to like for some reason). But Hollywood wants the safety net of a preexisting audience in order to lower risk, so the only gig in town is adaptations/sequels.
Leftist creatives view these gigs as opportunities to shove in as much of their own ideas and political/cultural agendas as possible. When someone calls them out for it, the writers then deploy the same predictable collection of canned excuses:
adapting for a different medium requires changes!
I wanted to update the story for modern audiences!
you don’t want to watch the exact same story again!
you are a bigot of some kind, and this content isn’t for you!
If not for the streaming model hiding so many failures and ESG bucks propping the whole thing up, woke entertainment would have collapsed almost immediately. Instead, it’s probably going to take decades for this shit to clear out.
No problem at all. With so many adaptations you they will say at least one of those things. Like you said, they just want to tear down what came before
