I'm really torn on this subject... I'm a very visual person, too. As much as I love reading, I love seeing those worlds and characters brought to life even more! But it's disappointing to see them done badly. I guess on the one hand I appreciate that people try even if they fail and something is better than nothing?

But on the other hand, media tends to be a bit of a zero sum game. If an adaptation of [insert series here] is made and is a total flop, it'll likely be years before anyone tries to adapt it again, if it happens at all. And because the entertainment industry in the U.S. is so risk averse for big budget projects, not only will that affect the original series, but it'll also have a negative effect on all similar projects, too.

same. I hated the LOTR movies (yeah I said it!) so it took forever for those visuals to get out of my head. and that's for a relatively popular/liked movie, imagine how much worse it would be for an actually bad adaptation that is universally panned. the visuals will still haunt you.

your point is valid but I'll add to it the flip side - if an adaptation of a series is made and is wildly to marginally successful, no one will try again for a long time because of the sense that you already have what you want, why would you want someone else to try again? it may mean there's a market for extremely similar series to also get an attempt but if that one series is your beloved and you didn't really like the adaptation no matter how popular (see: LOTR), you're still SOL because no one else is going to try to remake those movies for at least another 20 years.
