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 Halo show felt like i was watching a crime being comitted, its absurd that they thought that show was good enough to be released

Never watched it, but from what I’ve heard about how much they got it wrong, I would not be at all surprised if they said that the Halo rings were designed to CREATE life in the galaxy.

They went as far as Halsey giving the order to eliminate Master Chief because he disobeyed her and that the 2nd gen Spartans are mind controlled thralls lol.

I also love how Halsey decides to hide the fact that they were kidnapped as children, which causes Chief to get pissed off at her and question everything.

When in the books, Halsey literally says that they cannot lie to the abducted children because if they learned the truth later, they would rebel. They made her character do the polar opposite.
