I hate stuff that sticks TOO close to the source material when adapting to a film. It's also why I don't like the animated version of Dark Knight Returns. They need to update stuff from the 80s to fit modern times and adapt certain story elements to fit the medium of film. For some reason with comics, novels, and graphic novels people always seem to get mad if anything changes. They are adaptations not copies and when they copy it just shows lack of originality and laziness clothed in "respecting the source material" |
a self contained story needs pretty much to stick to original material or pissing off the fans alot , for reals guess thats why iron man 3 never bothered you
but watchmen and 300 , you can't modernize or adapt those stories looslely or they wont be the same films , not all films need a modern aesthetic or update , that'd even be boring or disrespectful to the source material
especially when all hthe plot elemetnts for watchmen were made by the cold war era
like i said those movies are so much better if you undertsand the era they were made in
context is needed
