What character re-interpretations do you hate? Which do you love?

It's not even airing yet but I already hate that they changed Pollution on Good Omens beyond recognition.

On rewatches, I don't like how Joss Whedon interpreted Captain America's character in the first Avengers movies. The first Avengers is probably one of the reasons I didn't even like him all that much.

I never even made it to the latest Avengers movies.

What changed?

In the Joss Whedon movies (imo) he was stripped of all his sarcasm and rebelliousness. He says stuff like, "There is only one God and he doesn't dress like that" or he chastises people for cursing. Then again, I think the only character Whedon really cared about was Tony Stark because he is the typical 'sarcastic dude with a one liner' that Whedon loves.

I'm pretty sure the only character Whedon actually cared about was Black Widow, because she fulfills his kinks lol.

I feel like the first Avengers movie didn't have a whole lot of characterization in general. Tony got more than anyone else, but even with him it was lacking. I like the Avengers movies because they are fun, but I do wish they'd put more character moments in there. I much prefer the solo movies for characterizations. Actually, I prefer the solo movies in general.

Basically every character in GoT is an improvement over their shittier ASoIAF versions. Even Bran is tolerable.

Basically every character in any live action Disney bullshit is 100% worse than their original version.

Facts.

Not a big fan of what happens to Sleeping Beauty in the original (Italian? I don’t remember) fairy tale where she was raped while unconscious and woke when one of her (twin, jfc) babies sucked the splinter out of her finger while trying to nurse. Also original Beauty and the Beast has a shitton of random fairy politics and I might be misremembering but also an ogre mother-in-law I think, but there were a lot of those and I might be misremembering.

By original version I meant original Disney version as compared to live action Disney.

Fairy tale characters mostly straight up don't have personalities so ...yeah.

eurgh

The one big change I appreciate is the aging up of the characters. It just makes things make more sense. Except Robb. I wish Robb had stayed younger because the whole angle of him being still a boy and not ready to be a leader and making naive decisions because of it. That angle was lost. But the rest of the younger characters, I appreciated the age changes.

Robb was still pretty damn young. He's the same age as Jon, so he would've been about 16 when the show started, and 19 when he died. Definitely young enough to be not ready to be a leader, and making naive decisions due to inexperience.

I loathe the Phantom from the 2004 Lloyd-Webber Phantom of the Opera. Gerard Butler can’t sing, and reimagining the Phantom as an only moderately deformed 35 year old who had no experience of the world beyond a cage and the already existing Opera basement, and who had been basically grooming Christine since she was a young girl, made his character less compelling and more creepy.

Like, yes, he’s absolutely a creep no matter how you slice it. But a 50-60 year old stalking a 20 year old for a few months and then kidnapping her =/= a 29 year old ‘befriending’ a 10 year old and then kidnapping her when she was 16.

Weirdly, I didn't mind the Phantom's singing, mostly because I didn't think the Phantom's singing from the original London musical recording was all that great. I didn't feel like it was a step down from anything, is what I mean.

But yes, he's still creepy af, regardless of adaptation.

AYRT—Aww, I like Crawford! But setting aside the backstory changes, I wish they’d cast someone who could really sing in the film or at least dubbed Butler with someone who could. Butler was a six pack a day smoker who’d been in an amateur rock band and only started taking lessons when he got cast. Even autotune couldn’t save him from sounding like the congested offspring of Bullwinkle the Moose snd Groundskeeper Willie. He was worse than Russel Crowe as Javert!

I've never read Marvel comic in my life, but I'm still 90% certain that I prefer the MCU's take on Loki to the one in the comics.

..........which one

On the hate side, obligatory movie!Thranduil mention. Also Gondor in general. I'll also bring back up Les Miserables 1998 (Liam Neeson & Geoffery Rush) PURELY for the horrendous last scene where Valjean makes possibly the most OOC decision in history and not only lets Javert commit suicide right in front of him, but toddles off happy about it. Because that is absolutely what an extremely religious 19th century man who's previously sacrificed his freedom for random strangers let alone people he actually knows would do.

On the like side, I'm going to admit what is probably blasphemy and say I prefer the movie version of pretty much all Alan Moore comics that have them. Mostly because they're significantly less depressing. Though Mina at least could definitely have been served better by the LXG movie, I admit. Replacing Griffin with Skinner was definitely the right choice though.

Yes to movie Thranduil. Terrible. I love Lee Pace, but he just wasn't Thranduil. It wasn't his fault, but it didn't work.

A lot of the Tolkien movie characters didn't work well for me. Thranduil is a big one. But as much as I love Viggo Mortenson, and as much as I get why they made some of the changes, a lot of the changes to Aragorn just made him less awesome than book Aragorn. Frodo also. Not sure in his case if it was the writing, the casting, or both. And the stupid literal flaming eye of Sauron will never not be stupid.

Personally I enjoyed the giant laser beam coming out of the eye. It was like a stadium light show. LOL.
