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
