I know the hate for this kind of relationship between books and movies are strong. I don’t understand why most people don’t just see the movie version as an offshoot, and standalone telling of the story. It definitely is the attachment to the original material that bugs most, but why not separate that and see it as its own. I mean it is a “live action” way to see your favorite story taken physically. Any opinions on movies that hold their own as it’s “original” telling of the story? Whether it’s worse or better. Any merit you guys give your favorite stories turned to the screen?
