An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

[u/Morr4Seiya]

Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

Lilo and Stitch (2025)

Apparently, 'ohana means giving up custody of your sister to study marine biology.

[u/goodnightmoonshakers → u/Loose-Step3115]

Leaving HAWAII-which has marine biology schools-to do so.

[u/foxfire981 → u/goodnightmoonshakers]

Leaving a full ride scholarship for a partial scholarship because "Hawaiians don't know what Marine Biology is." That movie was so racist.

I dont even wanna know the entire movie beyond memes

Im not even gonna larp it

[u/LaLloronaVT → u/lePROprocrastinator]

Honestly the original animated movie, sequel movies, and the series, are all pretty solid. At its worst the series is just fine but I never felt like it had a dog shit moment. It really felt like one of those series that ended good and didn’t need to be continued or remade.

There is no Lilo and Stich (2025) in Ba Sing Sae. Same with no The Last Airbender or Promised Neverland. None of these exist in Ba Sing Sae.

Incidentally, neither does the quote "There is no war in Ba Sing Se." It's a mandela effect

[u/Nick_Wild1Ear → u/Bamzooki1]

S2E13 22:16 City Of Walls and Secrets The Dai Lee tell Jet, “There is no war in Ba Sing Se. There is no war within the walls. Here we are safe. Here we are free.”

Oh damn, the Mandela effect might be a Mandela effect

The meme stuff is straight up lies, though.

[u/Zephronias → u/Funkycoldmedici]

They stopped my pal Pleakley from crossdressing, the cowards.

How

All the ‘Nani abandons Lilo to the foster system to fuck off to a lesser university instead of the better one that she gets for free’ is just not in the movie. The whole movie makes a point of the ohana idea with their neighbor they’ve known and been extended family with their entire lives. Nani doesn’t have free college available in Hawaii, that’s just not a thing. She does have a full-ride scholarship to UC, and it is a higher rated marine biology school than UH. Being an island doesn’t automatically make it a better school. The UH campus isn’t even near where Nani and Lilo live, it’s an hour+ flight away on another island, not a convenient commute.

So the movie ends with Lilo and Nani realizing having this bigger family, Nani getting to pursue her dreams for free, and she has an alien portal gun, so she is still in Lilo’s room with her any time she wants. Everybody wins. Don’t get into from memes.
