Hated Tropes An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

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?

That's unfortunately a very common outcome of the foster system, actually. Lots of homeless kids and young adults.

Adopters want babies the vast majority of the time. They're not adopting foster kids, especially kids with connections they want to keep. Kinship care tends to have far better outcomes for the children in custody.

You should look any of this up before you keep saying something so boneheadedly wrong.

Just say you realized your point was stupid and you can't defend it, it'll take fewer words than whatever this nonsense is and we'll all understand it the same.

Part of reading comprehension is knowing when someone is bloviating. I gave you facts and reality that undermined your arguments, you gave me nonsense. Therefore, we can both conclude you are unable to discuss the actual facts.

And there you go proving my point again. When you don't understand what someone is saying, you just say nonsense to pretend you're an equal participant in the discussion.
