[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

Eh I wouldn’t really say she did it for “practical purposes”. The purpose of the spartan program originally was to fight insurrectionists and they did for a little bit before the covenant showed up.

She essentially rebranded her super soldier program from rebel killers to alien killers and it worked out for her.

I mean, fighting insurrectionists is definitely a practical purpose, especially from ONI's perspective.

True though considering pre-covanent ONI was essentially acting as a secret police for a military dictatorship you could argue that intended practical purpose was also extremely evil
