All the WTFery in that War of the Worlds thing Amazon just crapped out.

That was an hours long Amazon/MS teams ad.

If stopping an alien invasion involved teams in any way the aliens would win.

After reading American Psycho, having first seen the movie, I was retroactively disappointed that they did not have every character dress like literal clowns that all looked identical, the way the book exaggerates.

Not a movie, but everything about the wheel of time show was a travesty.

Wanted...

It was supposed to be full of knockoff versions of popular heroes like The Boys. But in a universe all the villains won and mindco controlled the heroes I to playing fictionalized versions of themselves as a joke.

The main character kind of got to keep their original power, but not really.

It was a good movie, but it desperately needs a remake that's faithful to the original comic. Probably something animated like Invincible because live action would need a crazy budget.

The Passage tv series. To be fair, I got about 10 minutes into the first episode before I decided there was no way they read more than the book blurb before they wrote the script, but maybe they pulled it back in?

Also Game of Thrones. The drift from source material started small but got pretty wild as they went on. I feel like Martin was pretty clear what the "Game of Thrones" was in the books and I don't understand how a show with him as one of the key production members was able to miss that almost in its entirety. The show didn't need a clear end, that's the game of thrones, it never ends, the same cycle happens just as it always did.

I wouldn't even say the drift from The Source material in Game of Thrones started small. In the second season they already make at least one huge massive shift in a story plot.

The Percy Jackson one is just terrible. They left out so much stuff, like the mist.

Edit; autocorrect
