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

[dreemyweird]

The point is that there is a chasm of difference between reading a text and watching a film/play or playing a game? They're?? Different media???

I don't know, it's a bit like asking what's the point of enacting plays on stage if they have already been written down anyway.

As a person who enjoys well crafted AU adaptations immensely BUT also regularly gets upset at those that turn out to be botched up: being upset at "unfaithful" adaptations mostly does not mean disliking the fact that the adaptations in question did not get every single line from the original right. A good AU adaptation is all about understanding what the original was about and then changing its message/characters in a clever and tasteful way. It must both echo the original and discuss it. When it fails to do so or does so in a stupid fashion, it's... like someone singing a great song horribly off key and then claiming that it's just "their variation".

Taking that to its logical conclusion, doesn't that mean that all adaptations necessarily involve major changes to their source material? Moving something to film is a major change, even if you don't change the setting, plot, etc. It's a bit similar to translation in that way, really.

Which really only reinforces your point - since any adaptation involves a change because of the medium, if we're going to judge adaptations, we have to analyze them in terms of whether their changes were good or bad.

[dreemyweird]

That's true. The only difference between literal adaptations and AU adaptations is that the former variety endeavours to expand the original fictional universe, while the latter creates a new one (with a new set of rules).
