But no adaptation can actually be faithful - every adaptation involves changing some things, just by the nature of moving to a different medium.

And after all, if the adaptation is just a reflection of the glory of the original, what's the point of the adaptation at all?

nayrt, but have you never attempted to repeat an experience you really enjoyed? I bet you have, whether it's revisiting a specific place, eating a favorite comfort food, listening to your favorite songs...

It's not exactly the same experience every time, of course. But it can hit similar notes, and it's not at all surprising or unreasonable that people are into this. It's not "reflected glory" (frankly that's just silly), it's simply looking for more of what you like. That's the point.

This is a really good point. Even when something isn't exactly the same, it still has the potential to be more of that thing you like. And I can't blame fans for wanting that, or even for thinking they're going to get it. I mean, that's basically what an adaptation is claiming it's going to deliver.

Exactly.

This is true, but a lot of adaptations don't even try.

if the adaptation is just a reflection of the glory of the original, what's the point of the adaptation at all?

Seeing the original in a different medium, for one. Definitely a big part of the appeal for some people. Or if it's a same-medium adaptation, then seeing the original looking shiny and seamless and non-dated. I mean, a friend of mine recently showed me that famous fan-made reshoot of the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, and it was glorious. It changed very little about what actually happens in the scene, and yet the whole thing felt magnificently revamped and revitalized.

I honestly like extremely loose adaptations for a lot of things. But I also understand why people who hate loose adaptations feel the way they do, and I think both sides' perspectives are valid.
