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?

Castlevania was good overall, but it feels like a fluke now.

Iirc that's because there are actual writers fighting against Adi's nonsense.

DMC(Netflix) was all him, and so suffers hard because of it.

Well it was far worse than the original. Story, entertainment and animation.

Actually he sued the people working on it because he was excluded from it and was given a producer title to stop his tantrum.
