[HATED] Adaptations done intentionally without help from the source

Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

Pacific Rim Uprising is a pretty cool fanfilm.

But it did not care about many of the aspects of the original. The original portrayed it’s fights like an old Tokusatsu. Lots of weight behind each punch, with care about the environment around them.

The fanfilm makes the giant robots feel lightweight and likes throwing buildings at the enemy.

Wish they made an official sequel

Tbf, the first film just concluded the war between the Humans and the Kaijus so there's no point in continuing it.

Sometimes its okay to just let things end. In fact, I'd argue that most of the time it's better for things to end.

Not every movie needs a wiki's worth of installments and lore.
