  I hate it when they take a brand, butcher it, then claim it’s the same brand.

  Last time we let a bunch of nerds create a love letter to the source material, it won countless awards and the New Zealand tourism agency has been riding that wave ever since

  Hollywood writers hate original source material because they are incapable of writing anything original. So they write their own versions out of spite or what they see fit.

  They hate it because it wasn’t their idea. They are no talent narcissists.

  Bad writers: &quot;This IP would be so much better if the main character was just like me&quot;.

  In the 2000s, writers were merely embarrassed by the source materials but at least tried to capture the essence of the stories. These days, they steal the visuals but don&apos;t adapt the stories or character personalities as properly. Marvel Studios has increasingly become that way.

  Basically this sums up modern writers. <br>1. By having grown-up humor, you make it more *childish*. <br>2. By &quot;modernizing&quot; the dialogue, you make it more *dated*. <br>3. By changing the source material, you show how much you <b>don&apos;t</b> respect what&apos;s already *perfect*.
