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?

The adaptation of The Foundation by Aasimov. The best part of the show is something that wasn't even in the books, while it basically treats the books like decoration while its core themes are completely ignored.

Good scifi, bad adaptation.

really liked the clones plot lines, wish it was somehow retroactively added in the books so you can have everything good with the foundation inside a single thing
