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?

Butchering the message so bad…it’s a crime

"But that would make companies look bad!"

Yes. That's the point.

(gestures to O'Hare)

O'Hare is a space goat to not actually paint the companies as bad with the Onceler. He's a caricature of an evil CEO so stupidly cartoonish in what he does to result unrealistical and he get punished in the end while the Onceler was supposed to be cruel and irresponsible, unstoppable by no one but himself and when everything crumble because of him he doesn't take responsibility for his actions for decades, in the book he even still demands getting paid to tell his story and the mail reason he doesn't solve everything planting trees is because he's still an irresponsible shithead

Space goat?

I mean, think about it. Why would Illumination paint a target on their own back?
