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?

Leaving a full ride scholarship for a partial scholarship because "Hawaiians don't know what Marine Biology is." That movie was so racist.

I would imagine that Hawaii is actually the best place to study marine biology, because you know... HAWAII IS SURROUNDED BY THE VAST OCEAN, also native Hawaiians get a good tuition deal, fucking take up that amazing damn deal and stay in Hawaii with your sister!

People go to Hawaii to learn marine biology. It's the world's best program. Nani didn't even need to leave. She could've lived at home with Lilo and commuted to uni.

No.. it's not the best.

Edit:

All right, you pasty folks really like to imagine things look good on the islands like when y'all fly over for a sweet little summer vacay.

Still better than San Diego, would’ve maybe made sense if they went for Santa Barbra, CA (the actual like #2/#3 school in the U.S. for marine Biology) instead of Hawaii, but no she went to a college know for bioengineering and STEM?

Edit: damn your comment became racist FAST
