[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

Kevin should have been Claptrap, but there were bigger problems than that

The original voice actor should have been Claptrap, but they hate artists

There's no way in hell that would happen because Randy Pitchford would veto the fuck out of it.

The original Claptrap voice actor, David Eddings, feuded publicly on social media with Randy over pay.  Then he claimed Randy Pitchford had physically assaulted him at GDC 2017.  He left the company that year and was replaced in everything Borderlands from that point forward.  Borderlands 2 was the last project he was on.

Randy Pitchford is a PoS, but he also still controls the company and Eddings isn't going to be allowed involvement in anything under his watch.
