While I'm one of those assholes who get the urge to say "well, in the books they explain how..." from time to time, I agree completely. The adaption should be able to stand on its own.

I *get* why fans of the source material do what they do, though. It's really hard for me to watch adaptations with someone because I constantly want to point out what the adaption has changed from the source material, especially the parts that don't make sense to the other person. It gets frustrating if you know that the book/whatever explained something and the explanation got cut from the adaption. But the thing is that I don't think that works as an argument. If something gets adapted into a movie, chances are that it's the only version a good portion of the audience will experience. Which means that the film should be able to explain stuff like backstories and character motives to that audience. The source material shouldn't be used as an shield to excuse the adaption's faults.

Also, the whole "oh, you just don't like it because you didn't get it~" argument? I hate that. Nope. People can totally get the point a movie was trying to make and still dislike it.

Yeah, I think it's more an urge to defend the source material if the adaptation was bad, and not so much about defending the bad adaptation.
