[HATED] Adaptations done intentionally without help from the source

Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

Dragon Ball Evolution

If there is one unintended positive to come out of this disaster, Toriyama was so pissed off at being cast aside and watching his creation be fucked up by idiots who had no idea what they were doing, that he came out of retirement and revived the entire Dragon Ball franchise out of spite.

Dragon Ball is now a bigger success than it had ever been before.

It also had Cinemasins who typically don't review the source material do a bonus round that this movie deviated from the original Dragon Ball series.

Yes, Cinemasins did research on Dragon Ball for their video on this movie.

For the first and last time they'd ever do it.

I remember trying to watch their videos and being confused when there was a critique or a joke. I just didn't find them funny, I guess.

Cinemasins worked when their videos were like 3-5 minutes and poked fun at actual sins and plot holes. Once their videos hit the 8-10 minute mark, they lost the plot by getting wayyyy too nitpicky. Now their videos are anywhere from 25-40 minutes.
