Re: what is the point of adaptations that don't change up the source material a lot

Probably because a straight adaptation is rare. Most of the times they tweak adaptations enough so that it is unique to the source. I have yet come across an Alice in Wonderland adaptation that is EXACTLY like the book. More often than not, they either add music, forgoing the poems and smoosh Through the Looking Glass in there as well. Because heaven forbid you have an Alice adaptation and leave out Dweedledee and Dweedledum.

Oh, I hate this. This happened to Kidnapped, too, and to a number of other things I'm fond of. All the supposedly "literal" adaptations have these weird original elements in them that neither enhance the end result nor are enjoyable in themselves.

(I mean, why would you mix Catriona with Kidnapped when you're creating a faithful adaptation of the latter?)
