      I’m fine with that. As long as they do at least a decent job of adapting it.

        Best I can do is another Halo style series where the director straight up says that he didn’t look at any of the source material.

          And that’s how it goes.

          • Good TV show that respects the source
          • More people consume more of the source and related products
          • Different IP looks at this and had a brilliant idea
          • Bad TV show that doesn’t respect the source
          • Everyone shits on toxic fans and how making adaptations is not worth it
          • Different IP decides to challenge this
          • Go back to step 1

            Yeah, it boils down to media companies not understanding what people like and wanting an easy cashgrab
