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?

IDG WHY they thought animal farm was meant for kids

[u/-Release-The-Bats- → u/Mmicb0b]

I read it when I was 11 and didn't get it at all. The only talking animal stuff I'd read until that point was Redwall. I didn't re-read it until the early 2010s (when I was in my 20s) after seeing The Hunger Games.

What gets me even more is that it was Angel Studios--who makes conservative Christian movies--that was behind Animal Farm. It was a massive "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" moment for me.
