Default Re: Adaptations, good thing or bad thing

I'm not against adaptations personally, but I know there is so much work involved.

You don't want to piss off fans and purists, but I don't think I've ever seen a straight one to one conversion from anywhere.

Its just a fact of life that a book doesn't function as a movie, a movie doesn't function as a game and a game doesn't function as a movie.

So liberties have to be taken.

Though I was thinking and maybe its just me, but you hardly ever see anyone mention a book adaptation (that is movie to book or game to book) that gets it wrong.

I don't know if its because there are few of those or because people don't read em
