    Monster hunter movie? Yikes, that sounds like a great idea that will get butchered beyond belief my executives.

    And for the record, the worst adaptation I have watched till date is Index 3.

    Avatar: the last airbender movie was just terrible to watch.
    Percy jackson was a dumpster fire.
    The giver was meh at best
    And I could go on. I don't even know why I even watch this and am disappointed most of the times.

    Starship Troopers.
    Book: Squad based armored calvary in Powered armor, with a lot of background nationalism.
    Movie: Normal Infintry that use human wave tactics, sex, and not so background nationalism.

    The movie was another one of those so bad they were passable in the end.

    Sadly the same cant be said for the Sword of Truth series. The Legend of the Seeker was subpar at best and only lasted a couple seasons. I hear the Wheel of Time series will be getting its own web series this year but again not sure I'll bother
    As it was one that I read multiple times and know i would be ranting the whole time.

    On a side note, did anyone read The Avatar novels before it hit the big screen? I heard the author was able to keep it rather close to the books, but have yet to read any of them. --edit--
    Oh shit Disney bought the right to this so guessing it will be driven into the ground like all their other acquisitions.

    Last i heard the Honorverse movie(and later mini series) were never completed. Honestly not looking forward to them butching one of my favorite book series.

    since it seems that im the only one in the thread to have actually watched the AF movie i gotta say that as bad as you think the movie is from the trailer i promise you that... it's 100x worse then what you think. i did a long rant about it after i watched the movie. i knew it was going to be bad within the first few minutes after the narrator (Mulch is the narrator for reasons) said that Artemis loved ireland and nature and it showed him fucking surfing..... okay. im trying not to go into a rant again.

    the Last Apprentice was terrible (it was called Seventh Son as a movie title) and if their names hadnt been in the movie i would never had even known it was an adaptation from that book series

    the Cirqu de Freak manga adaptation was horrid and had bad casting. Larten Crepsley, the teacher of the MC who's a pretty cool dude, was acted by John C. Reilly which doesnt fit at all.

    the Maximum Ride adaptation i heard was aweful, also heard the same for the Mortal instruments series.

    anyways in terms of book adaptations AF is worse than percy jackson. watch the dominic noble review of the movie and youll see how bad it is as he does a pretty good analysis of it

    Am I awful if I like the PJ movies?
    Yes, I read the books until the titans, but that did not stop me from enjoying the special effects and the book animated to life.

    Hated the hairstyle in the sequel, though.

    I feel like I have seen that movie... Something about the darkness taking over and having to find certain artifacts... Could also just be another random movie but 7th son of the 7th son was a theme present in that one. If it is the one we're talking about oh my God did they depart from the plot. Nothing was the same

    I really liked some of the Earthsea books and felt sad that the movie will be how many people think/know of them.

    I've watched that, I thought it was good, but I haven't read the manga.
    Ditto
    What's snk?
    That is very true.

    in order to be a spook (title of the job the MC is training for in the series) you have to be the seventh son of a seventh son as it lets you see all manners of magical creatures. I’ve yet to watch it but the trailer for it is the reason why. What was in the trailer was never a scene in the books

    Bad adaptations are never going away. I wonder what's going to be butchered next in Hollywood. My money is on Undertale, One Piece, or Stormlight Archive series.

    Technically anime but it still works. Black clover. The jp va for asta...omfg way to turn off any same person from wanting to watch the anime. Manga is ok,a bit derivative, leaning heaving of nakama power and naruto-esqe themes but still ok

    Not the Amazon LOTR Second Age? I have some hopes, but, honestly, I expect it will be a disaster.

    I sadly expect netflix's adaptation of avatar the last airbender to be bad too...seeing as how the og creators left after disagreements.

    I am pretty sure Black Clover lost a significant portion of international audience due to their ears going deaf hearing Asta scream. It seems to be do very well in Japan though.
