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?

Supergirl (2026)

In the comic it's based on, Kara teaches Ruthye that killing and vengeance won't resolve her painful past, and that true strength comes with helping others and restraint.

In the movie she just slimes the main villain of the story.

[u/Cautious-Phone-4461 → u/TheOnlyTrueFlame]

I took this as her not wanting Ruthye's hands sullied by murder.

[u/Timeless_Ranitomeya → u/Cautious-Phone-4461]

That was confirmed to be the intention, but because movie's writer misread the comic's ending as Ruthye killing Krem and thought it was really dark.
