      Sorry not sorry to all the "Harry Potter taught my generation to read" folks, but I always thought the two most important media in the Harry Potter franchise were the movies and A Very Potter Musical So Daniel Radcliffe and Team Starkid standing up to JKR warms my fanboy heart

      (The movies are... not great as movies, because they were so stuck slavishly following the books But they did improve on a lot of the worst shit from the books simply because they had to in order to function as movies)

      This is what I mean when I say that people who shit on movie adaptations being "always worse than the book" are just noticing regression to the mean If the book is really good then of course the movie is usually worse If the book sucks then usually the movie ends up better

      Of course, people will argue that this means the movie adaptations are still generally worse because if a book gets famous enough to be adapted at all then it must be a good book They say this because they have no awareness of how the world actually works

      i definitely do not think this, but i still think there are very few movies that are better than books, even when the books are very bad. HP may be an exception but i can't imagine watching four million hours of HP movies to find out.

      Mostly Hollywood wrecks its source material EVEN IF its source material is appallingly bad to begin with. Which, of course, is the case with MANY bestselling books.

      Nah tons of movie adaptations are better than the books, especially the wacky surprise successes like, say, Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray

      The main thing Hollywood does is iron out the weird idiosyncrasies of the author in order to make something practical to film, which, again, is "regression to the mean" - truly genius authors will be badly served but most bad authors will be improved
