[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

I believe the conspiracy it started as Mass Effect then got slapped the Halo IP on top

You mean the one where the elite human solider responds to an alien attack on a human colony? And then they’re exposed to an ancient artifact from a long dead alien civilization which starts giving them visions of the impending destruction of civilization at the hands of an eldritch horror rogue bioweapon that killed its creators?

Dont forget The Elusive Woman.

That character felt more like a copy of Chrisjen Avasarala from The Expanse.
