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?

Every single last attempt to make a live action of Death Note

[u/arandompurpose → u/LordVader1080]

There was one of them I enjoyed the ending of more than the anime and it was where L prevented Light from killing him with the Death Note by writing his own name in it first and saying he would die in like a month or so. That said, seeing a real person eat all those sweets that L does is pretty gross. 

[u/Meowcate → u/arandompurpose]

This is from the two-parts Japanese live action movie, and it's decent.

Wasn’t a fan of The (L)ast Name’s sequel that butchered Near for a “one last case” story with L though, “L: Save The World” that takes place in the 23 days between the ending of Death Note the (L)ast Name and his death

[u/stanzark → u/LordVader1080]

setting it in Seattle (the shinigami ARE JAPANESE) and making the guy who was intended to look unattractive black sure were choices

[u/DogOwner12345 → u/LordVader1080]

The musical is fun.

[u/Illustrious-Wrap-776 → u/LordVader1080]

You can throw in the Death Note anime as well.

Most of it is fine, but they absolutely botched the ending by leaving out how pathetic Light gets once he's caught.

[u/Kirajudgeoftoons → u/LordVader1080]

Hey, first two were actually pretty goddamn good!!!

[u/SenritsuJumpsuit → u/LordVader1080]

Why must every film be a one to one its neat having variants we got like 20 Evangelions, Netflix films a fun showcase of having a normalish American kid getting the book

[u/VerySmallWeen → u/SenritsuJumpsuit]

The issue is that the Netflix movie was pure garbage. Resident Evil's first movie had basically nothing to do with the games but its still an alright movie. Death Note was horrible across the board though.

[u/SenritsuJumpsuit → u/VerySmallWeen]

Nah it's funny

[u/VerySmallWeen → u/SenritsuJumpsuit]

It's not even a "so bad it's funny" type of movie, it's a "funny how bad it is" type
