The topic of why adaptations of books, video games, and anime often fall short of expectations is explored in this video. Common issues such as condensing complex narratives into shorter runtimes, losing key elements and nuances of the original material, and creative clashes during production are discussed. The video highlights the challenges of translating the essence of one medium to another, especially when movies and TV shows struggle to capture the immersive experiences of games or the internal thoughts of novels. Some argue that adaptations should prioritize crafting a great film that honors the source while embracing necessary changes, while others critique recent adaptations for overly emulating existing intellectual property, especially by being "woke." Ultimately, the success of an adaptation hinges on understanding the source material and how filmmakers approach the translation into a new medium.
