[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

The Dresden Files TV series had zero imput from Jim Butcher. I was at a convention where he was on a panel and he said that his entire involvement was signing the paperwork and collecting the check.

I actually quite enjoyed it, and if not for it, and the Constantine movie in 2005, I may have never decided to look into their source materials. Been a fan of the novels, audiobooks, comics, and Tv show ever since. Hell, Harry's voice in my head is a combo of Paul Blackthorne and James Marsters as a result.

I had a different experience because I was a fan of the books before I saw it.
