Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I hate it when a book gets adapted into a movie or TV show, and all the cover art gets replaced by publicity stills from the movie. Especially when the show makes radical changes to the characters so the covers are no longer even vaguely related to the book characters anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

When I was into Twilight circa Breaking Dawn, I absolutely hated the movie adaptation covers. I was so glad I had the pre-movie covers for my books.

[philstar22]

Hard same. Usually already have a copy though. But the movie-covers of books still irritate me.

[(Anonymous)]

God, yes! This is lifetime-long pet peeve of mine too.

[kaijinscendre]

Same, it is super annoying. Especially when those are the cheapest options.

[(Anonymous)]

And even if they don't change the artwork, it's mostly covered by a "Now A Hit Movie!!!" sticker. Haha, actually no, it's printed and you can't remove it.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh. I hate the printed on sticker of "now a hit movie / tv show" on the cover.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I'm reading the book, why do they need to plaster the movie all over it??

[(Anonymous)]

I could not agree more! It's one of the few things I hate about my Kindle; it'll update the covers of stuff without asking me. I really hate it a lot, I never ever want a movie or TV show tie-in cover. Like you said, it's much worse if it's a cover that doesn't accurately reflect the text. But even if the characters look "right" I still don't like it.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't mind having a cheap paperback copy of my favorite book with the tv show cover for annotation and/or lending purposes but I'm not buying said copy when I have... uh, two nice copies? Or, one REALLY nice copy and one copy that was nice but is kind of ruined.

[(Anonymous)]

lmaooo I have a (quite good) scholarly biography of Mary Queen of Scots that for some reason has a photo of the actresses from that movie that came out a few years ago on its cover. The movie was hilariously inaccurate, so if the idea was that the screenwriters referenced this biography they sure didn't take into account what it said

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Even if I liked the movie, I prefer "real" cover art, not a shot from the movie. It just seems so low effort and not very pretty.

[(Anonymous)]

I hate that too for the most superficial of reasons: if I have to buy the post-movie/TV show adaptation of a book, I don't want people to think that I've only read it due to the movie/TV show!

[(Anonymous)]

I hate when comic books do it too!

[(Anonymous)]

I very much agree!
