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/Kilroy0497 → u/Loose-Step3115]

This one becomes especially stupid, when you remember that she’s going to California to study it when they live in HAWAII!

Californians try not to be egocentric challenge

[u/Kilroy0497 → u/Dakotasan]

Yeah that sounds about right. Like I know most of Hollywood thinks that whole state is in the end all be all of everything and can do no wrong, despite the streets apparently being covered in turds at the moment, but I mean, a simple google search could have told them their being stupid in this regard, and then they wouldn’t have had to spit in the face of original and its message so hard. Of course then again, I’m pretty all these live action remakes exist mostly to spit in the original’s face, but still.

And Californians wonder why every other state hated California…

[u/Anybro → u/Dakotasan]

That's the south california. A good portion of northern california is a lot more well rounded. Especially in the mental department, and we look at our southern brothers and wondering, what the hell is going on down there? Trust me, we're just as confused as the rest of the states.

[u/Dakotasan → u/Anybro]

Maybe I should narrow it down to the Hollywood/LA area
