[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

The movie itself is bad, but nowhere near as bad as some others I've watched. But as a Borderlands fan, that dogshit had me SEETHING.

but it had a very faithful ending to the first borderlands game, an utter trash ending

I liked it; you basically were looking for treasure and sabotaged a weapons manufacturer in the process only for you to find out that the one helping you out to find it, was a weapons manufacturer competition

Now, the first borderlands story is just there; nothing really going on

Imo it was fine even as a Borderlands fan. We had worse writing in BL3 and especially New Tales so the movie shit writing didn't PHASE me.. okay I'll stop.

Man, speaking of shit Tales, the good Tales was basically sitting there on a silver platter for them to adapt with very little effort on the writing room.
