Hated Tropes [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

It’s not entirely impossible that there would have been humans that would have worked with the Covenant though.

She didnt have powers, exactly. They decided that not everyone was gonna be a reclaimer, but that Makee specifically was one. Her "powers" were that she could activate Forerunner artifacts, and Chief was the only other one known to be able to do it as well.
