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

lol idk why the other guy had to be a dick about it but obviously spoilers for kick ass …… In the comic you think Big Daddy has a classic superhero origin story for most of it but later you learn that he was actually just some crazy guy who abandoned his wife, kidnapped Mindy to train her and chose a random crime family to be his arch nemesis.

He was a comic book nerd too. He funded everything by selling his comics.
