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?

I mean that's often what happens when people not in the group try and pander to a group. They fail miserably at the attempt and it becomes insulting.

Another example: Miles Morales Thor. Basically did a "if Miles was Thor and everyone was black it would basically look like Harlem." A Hispanic creator was responsible. Black comic fans were not impressed.

I can't believe how many people worked on this and no thought "hey, maybe this sucks actually".

This really is one of those images that gets worse the longer you look at it

I dunno what's worst "he got so many rings, check out all rings." OR the shoes hanging from the powerline, I swear the writers were like "Okay let's Google hoods and use them as inspiration, surely having a black character act like those harmful stereotypes IS GONNA SELL LIKE HOT POCKETS YOU DIG ME DAWG!"
