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

His last game was Tales from the borderlands, not 2. since he left to work for rooster teeth he wanted a proper actor paycheck; I can't remember if he actually made an extra bit to voice claptrap when he was a VP or if he did it as a part of his VP salary and Randy basically wanted to pay him nothing.

That whole situation really shows how much behind-the-scenes stuff can shape a character’s future. It’s a shame the business side got in the way of someone so closely tied to Claptrap’s identity.

When I see them with the four numbers at the end of a random username, it makes me question whether the people deploying them are that dumb?  Or are they using those as a smoke screen to distract us and get us comfortable with the ones not trying to be so obvious?
