    Virtually every single bad adaptation can be directly traced back to studio interference.

    Movies like LoTR only happened because the studios thought it would be a colossal flop, and so left the directors and producers alone.

    If you want great movies, the studios need to leave the producers and directors the hell alone.

      Counterpoint: Game of Thrones. The studio would have been happy to give them a few more seasons to develop a better ending. It’s the creators who gave up and phoned in the ending we got.

        George RR Martin is the creator of game of thrones, not the show runners.

        Oh wait, the original example was lotr, which also was based on books lol. Nevermind me, carry on.
