Its crazy how Netflix have bottled this. Why spend all that money on rights just to desecrate the source material?

In doing so, kill the interest of the only group championing the show. A mistake so insanely common in streaming, how the **** do they keep making it. Plus, every time they do this - the show ****ing sucks. Every time without fail.
Writers ****ing suck, no one cares about your creativity. Just get the ****ing people who wrote the game/books to do it you scrubs.

Agree - Rings of Power is a similar case in point. I enjoyed it for the legitimate bagging it received on YouTube. I'm therefore torn between wanting them to change course (to something nearer the source material) and continuing as they are!

Ironically fishing and not living in a house were quite big activities amongst the Jesus crew.Fishing, camping, cricket. Fck religion
I've no idea how close it was to the source material, but I don't think much could have saved it. The writing was trash.
- Galadriel was completely one-note for all 8 episodes.
- The greatest smith of the second age needed to be told what an alloy was
- Was it even ever established how the elves were going to die? Was it because their tree was sick? Why was the tree sick? How does that kill immortal beings? What has mithril got to do with healing a bloody tree? Barely alluded to, and never explained. Zero stakes. I had no reason to care.

It like creating a Halo tv series with writers that never played the game series. Great idea.

Alternatively I reckon Sandman would have been done better by a fan/writer than it was by the author. In this instance they gave Gaiman too much control and he went waaaay off the ranch.
Also having a big second innings after being nailed plumb in front of the woodwork in the first.

Stephen King once directed his own movie based on a book of his and it was by far the best adaption of his work.
With creative control he nailed it.

Quite apart from some narrative changes (which one must accept when crossing media) and some awful acting (I'm looking at Cain and Abel). Gaiman made some of the following changes. Now this ain't a Little Mermaid situation. It just took out some of the immersion for fans of the comics.
White to black...meh, that's fine, but the gender and bodyshape change was just jarring.
Gender change....ok, but don't add sexual tension...oh and John Constantine exists outside the story as well, so why change!?
Gender change of Lucifer....meh, but at least get someone who can act.
Made no difference, in fact the change of colour made more sense here.
This one I hated, Death was a goth teen type. That's what made the character interesting. Changing her into a streetwise 30 year old black woman made zero sense!

i've never read the comics and had no knowledge of it whatsoever and enjoyed it. the missus who was obsessed with it and knew all the details already, also enjoyed it.
as for the witcher, the first season was great. i love the short story/anthology format as it fits the witcher world well. when they tried to make it GoT giant political epic i lost interest. don't really care about cavill leaving as they already ruined what was good about it already.

IIRC Witcher season 2 was another show that slashed nudity and sexual content, just like Game of Thrones.

This will send shivers up the spine of anyone who tried out on the drums as a kid and couldn't get it. (and kudos to those able to sing lead at the same time).

Twitter is ****ing amazing now. It's just wall to wall shitposting. Best thing to happen to social media since it started. Less ****ing doom and gloom screaming into the void along with rich people opinions/hot takes absolutely no one asked for, more trash talk.
