What about books? Those are artistically designed to be books, but are adapted to film regardless. Are all movie adaptations to be ignored on principle?
This is not the same thing. Adapting basic stories to different mediums is a subject that has nothing to do with this conversation.
How?
Because we weren’t talking about adapting a work to an altered form. You’re trying to purposefully confuse the topic of discussion and I honestly don’t understand why. Maybe start a thread if you actually care about such a topic?
And who says the story adapted is basic? That ignores the nuances and thematic depth a work might have, much like how a movie can ignore such depth or enhance it.
At the most basic level an adaptation adapts the basic story or basic thematic elements. I didn’t mean that the stories being adapted are basic, just that at the minimum (and quite frequently), the basic elements are adapted, without inclusion of the original depth of storytelling, or replacing that depth with different elements that don’t reflect the original work.
