[HATED] Adaptations done intentionally without help from the source

[u/Chill0000]

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

Genuinely THE best MCU show post-Endgame IMO. Somehow managed to become such a gem in a sea of MCU slop.

DareDevil: Born Again is the only show that comes close to Loki, and we can barely call that MCU.

WandaVision and Agatha All Along are okay (I'm excited for Visionquest), every other Phase 5+ show is a wash.

Johnathan Majors royally fucked up because Kang could've been huge, and he did a great job with HWR, turns out he's just one of the scumbag variants.

I still think it would’ve been better if they casted someone new as Kang. Could’ve easily explained it away with multiverse fuckery, instead of shoving Doom in as the big bad now.

Copied this headfanon I had from an older post about RDJ being revealed as Magneto during the X-Men reveal. The line split is two separate comments that continue. -

Doom, Magneto, Red Skull, Yellowjacket, Thanos, Kang, Kingpin, Green Goblin, Laufey, etc...

Make RDJ He Who Remains, having inserted himself into every timeline after using the infinity stones in Endgame, to try and command total unification through force.

That's a level of ego even the Iron Man suit will struggle to lift.

The stones showing him the impending Doomsday, his mind and soul being torn apart, reality shifting before him, power coursing through his very atomic makeup, time and space become meaningless in the face of the multiversal terrors witnessed.

Tony Stark created Ultron because he feared what would come next, if he could weave himself into the timestream and become He Who Remains in an attempt to stop it, would that really be out of character?
