No, but adaptations today have little to no respect for what they are adapting. When showrunners talk about the importance of diversity or “reflecting the world we live in” instead of what they are actually adapting it shows priorities. Granted I won’t watch and I honestly rarely watch or read anything made after 2014. No interest in a lot of modern content. Like with Star Wars, I love the EU books and comics and have many I still need to read but I still wish Disney didn’t own Star Wars. Doesn’t invalidate what came before but I still don’t like it. Two things can be true
A shitty adaptation takes nothing away from the original works. Shakespeare was written for all male theater performers. Adaptations are made not as some sort of “importance” thing, but just as a new retelling.
The book is great. The original movie is great. If you ask me there’s not really any reason for someone to try and just make the movie again. If someone wants to make another version where there is a new element, then great. If it’s shitty, oh well. I don’t have to watch it, you don’t have to watch it. What’s the use of complaining?
Yes, I learned that about Shakespeare in elementary school. Didn’t need you to teach me a history lesson, but thanks I guess. But an adaptation is taking the author’s vision and putting it on screen or a different medium. Can’t do a one for one adaption but I can respect the effort. But as I mentioned before I am happy watching like 95% older content. There is so much out there I have never seen. I don’t see a problem if people want to complain. Would you be chiming in if they were being super positive? Yes there are bigger things going on in the world but fans will be fans. I used to complain about Disney star wars until I realized nothing would change and I can consume pre Disney stuff. Also cancelled d plus. That taught me these companies will do what they want and don’t care about fans but I can always consume older stuff
I'm not trying to teach you anything, obviously I figured you were smart enough to have known that already. I'm giving an example of how adaptations have continued and will continue for centuries.
I just think it's funny that oftentimes this sub is just people finding things to complain about. I love Lord of the Rings. I'm watching it with my pals at the end of the month. Gonna read the book as well. I would never know about this or even think about this because I'm content with the old material as well.
Positivity is, as a whole, a good reaction. Negativity, literally, worsens health and outlook.
I’m personally not going to be positive about people who own the IP screwing it up but I say it’s best to ignore. People are free to express opinions positive or negative. I love the LOTR books. I mean if you just want to hear people talk about how every new show or movie is the best thing ever there are shill sites.
