It's complicated.

In general, my attitude is that faithfulness to the text is much less important than quality and interpretation - what I want is for the person adapting it to make the best possible work that they can based on their understanding of the underlying themes and aesthetics of the work that they're adapting. At the same time, I will absolutely hate an adaptation if the creator's interpretation of the source material is different enough from mine. But I don't think that's about faithfulness to the text - it's just that the qualities that I liked weren't present in the adaptation.

I do want to say that I think the best of all time at making adaptations are the Coen Brothers. Their version of True Grit is maybe the single most faithful adaptation of anything I've ever seen, while also being a really fucking fantastic movie. It's an incredible accomplishment & tbh for pretty much any American genre work that was set in our world, I would want the Coen Brothers to adapt it.
