This might be a controversial opinion but I generally try to think of movie/TV adaptations as distinct texts... sort of like fan fiction, or parallel universes? That helps me to appreciate the world created in film and not constantly draw comparisons to the book. I have loved the new LOTR series by prime but recognize theyβre deviating significantly from anything Tolkien ever wrote. I donβt take the TV show as βcanonβ but see it as an opportunity to live in a version of the world of LOTR!
I love this idea. I am huge fan of music videos and to me they are an interpretation of the song. Just like movie are interpretation through a second artist of the book.
Oh wow that office stat is so depressing! Just discovered your stack, congrats on the 200!

I like the fan fiction idea. I think thatβs a good way to look at it!

I like this, too. It's a fun way to look at it. And might make me slightly less rage-y when they diverge from the book π
#200. WOO HOO!
