From 'House of the Dragon' to 'God of War' to 'The Witcher,' shows are getting smacked by creators for seeming to stray from source material. And there are reasons it's happening now.
I never understood why you would take a story loved by millions and then change it in unpredictable ways. You are losing the best advocates for what you’re creating! The worst example of this is the horrendous monster that is the latest Terry Pratchett TV show, which was rightly condemned by the estate and everyone who ever read anything by Pratchett.
I think it’s because they’ve gotten away with it for decades. Like the Shining movie vs books. Or Jurassic Park movie vs book, gave movie studios the power to tell the actual author to go fuck off.
