This is one of those things that kind of drives me crazy. Whenever a movie or TV adaptation comes on, based on a book or a video game or whatever, and people scream that “it isn’t accurate!”
Who cares? If you want accuracy, go read the book or play the video game. I want entertaining. I want something close enough that I can see the source, but that is it’s own thing and has value on its own.
Sadly, I seem to be largely alone in this.
Recently, a couple of reboots have appeared on the television landscape, some good, some bad. Now keep in mind, I am not a fan of reboots, reimaginings or any of that in general. I think Hollywood needs to be original, not just produce half-assed copies trying to relive past glories, but that’s not the world we live in. So let’s take a look at the good and the bad of late.
