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?

A major theme of the Halo games and novels is seeing how far someone is willing to go for survival, shown in how Master Chief and the other spartans are child soldiers who willingly accept their role as weapons and the last hopes of humanity

This falls apart in the Paramount show when Master Chief abandons the war against the covenant because he doesn’t like that he’s a child solider

I think it’s even worse than that. In the original lore, I believe Catherine Halsey (the one in charge of the Spartan program) and captain Keyes talked about whether or not to use something to make the kids completely obedient to them like altering their memories or mind control. They rejected the idea on the off chance that if any of the Spartans ever recover their memories or break out of the mind control, there’s a high chance they’ll betray the UNSC. So they decided that the children will all be told the cold truth that they’ve been kidnapped and will never see their families ever again on day 1
