DA

I wouldn't mind that if they had made it clear that it was not the same Roland instead of titling the thing The Dark Tower and saying it's an adaptation of the books. If they'd gone with a Doctor Who kind of thing where he's Roland #337 and titled it something else, I'd have expected... less? More? Not gone in expecting to see the story from the book it titled itself after?

But, that was the whole point of the Dark Tower!

In a meta in-universe Dark Tower sense, you have a point.

In the real world starting a movie franchise sense, viewers expect something titled after a book to be like the book. I'm not surprised it bombed at the box office. Fans would be disappointed that it's so different, and new viewers would have no idea what the hell is going on.

Sure, from a marketing perspective it's a nightmare. But in terms of "canon," anything King signs off on is "canon" because he practically wrote himself in as God in "canon."

I didn't mention canon? Whether something is or is not canon, or what the Word of God is, only matters to a few hardcore fans most of the time. My point was that it departed from the book which most viewers and readers casually familiar with the series would expect it to stick to, leading to a lot of disappointment.
