Re: Good Adaptions

...But the animal rights thing wasn't literally about animals, but a huge metaphor for racism. We saw it with Elphaba and the munchkins, too. If you weren't like Glinda, you were discriminated against.

As well, Wicked wasn't about literally making the witch the hero, it was about how perspectives alter things and that behind every villain there's a story in itself. how she became the wicked witch was a story in itself, and I found Wicked interesting in that sense. It showed Dorothy as a little girl caught up in something she didn't understand fully. you know, like she actually was.

Okay, but the point still remains. Taking someone else's world and completely changing it in order to get your pet message across still makes for a bad adaption. In the Oz book, there was no hint of that racism against animals. It was added into Wicked.

I'm all for giving villains a background and making them more complex, but not if you change the setting and the way things work in that world in the process. It is totally possible to give a villain a backstory without doing that. And I personally have a big problem with published authors taking that much liberty with someone else's world and characters.
