This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

My point has been consistent. An adaption made by someone that likes and respects the original IP will be much more likely to be good then an adaption by someone that hate or doesn't even know the original IP.

But on a personal level, I'd rather watch a bad movie that is true to the source material than a good movie that shits all over it.
I don't disagree with that, just the fix part. Though I'm not particularly interested in bad movies that are true to the source material. Fidelity is not the be-all that a lot of fans claim.

People who set work in a historical period and ignore a large segment of the population, plus the huge wrongs dobe to them,  deserve some revision.  A

Also the  movie made another change, it humanized Poirot, which even AC wishes she had done. AC honestly came to see poirot as arrogant,  concieted and pompous. She finally killed him off. She couldn't stand him.

DotN made poirot a lot more human, less of a pompous waddling characiture. He admiited to his conceit, and arrogance. He also had a human back-story.
Fuck the fascist right and the fascist left.

I'd rather see a good movie over a bad movie. Source material is irrelevant to me when it comes to entertainment.

Dramatic romance backstory does not make one "human".
And obviously his rampant Roman Catholicism was dropped.

Making weird people more normie is not humanizing them - it's making humanity narrower.

Wow, that's a lot of stupid to process. I mean maybe a contard brain can handle the level of fucktardism you just let, but it takes a while for a thinking person to process it.


Look at what you just said: ''Making weird people more normie is not humanizing them - it's making humanity narrower.''

Are you even capable of recognizing the cognitive dissonance in that one sentence?  You are saying weird people are not human, and portraying them as human narrows humanity.

Holy fucking idiocy, batman!  You decide to narrow the definition of human to people wbo are not  'weird', then say considering weird' people as human narrows humanity.

I guess the contradiction you just made went right past you.

Oh, your avatar? Yeah,  Rorschach was not cool, he was not a hero, he was a small minded intolerant self righteous little fuck who could not deal with the idea that anyone who wasn't like him could be anything but evil. He was black and white in a 50, 000 shades of grey world and Manhattan was right to nuke him to save that world.
Fuck the fascist right and the fascist left.

I'm saying weird people are perfectly human anyway, a portraying them as more "humane" in normie ways shows normie prejudice against their eccentricities.
Poirot was already portraied 100% human in books, adding some normie shit is not making him more human. It shows normies like Branagh does not consider him human enough because weird.

Here follow line: Book Poirot is perfectly human being though extremely eccentric -> Adding normie "human" characteristic to him, shows normie directors consider you have to have them to be human -> Ergo normie creators consider eccentrics inhuman.

Not me - I fully embrace humanity of weird. They decided to mix it with own "normality".
It was you who said that Poirot is more humane in film.

Wow, that dumb attack that went from absolutely nowhere.
But to be precise: sure Rorschach is fuck up. That's why we like him. That's what Great Magical Asshole Moore could not understand while trying to bring Rorschach down, he should stick with assshole Randist Question. And quite obviously he wasn't black and white character.

Also: fuck Ozzie and Dr. Manhattan - not only history proved that whole Atomic Scare was mostly scarecrow (but that's again dumb wizard foolish idea) but no I shall not condone genocide, to MAYBE save the world. If that's too black and white, fuck it.

Avatar is there basically because I like the look of it.

You might want to re-read the sentence. You got it completely backwards.

Saw the newest Jurrasic movie. It was shit. I usually find something positive even in bad movies, but this was just ahit.

I've read Jurassic World synopsis on Wikipedia. It was especially shitty.

Clearly, the solution is a Predator vs. Jurassic World movie.

I know the answer is money, trumptard. The thing is the movies aren't even making major profit anymore, and they still shit more out.
