Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Offhand I can only think of one movie (and sequels) where “didn’t read the book” made the movie significantly better: The Bourne Identity. Those books really were awful!

I thought the 1993 Mario movie was pretty fun

The Witcher video games are better than the source and the original author is seething from its success

The games are great because CD Project are massive fans who read the books many times, so that hardly fits.

I mean the books are great too, apparently they're even better in it's native language.

I think there's a difference when the source material isn't great. IIRC Forest Gump is another example.

Also Starship Troopers

I thought that was debunked?

I'm not sure how you think this video is related to the comment I replied to ?

There's also Adaptation, technically.
