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?

Starship Troopers was intentionally going against what Paul Verhoeven thought was a pro-fascist book to be far more satirical.

Edit- NOT Super Troopers unless there's a crazy copaganda book I missed haha

[u/notherenwerebear → u/NarmHull]

Did you mean star ship troopers, only because I was unaware super troopers was based off of a book

[u/NarmHull → u/notherenwerebear]
