Here is something that has been on my mind for a long time
Im a big fan of anime and manga and I have always wondered how is with comics there is almost never a faithful adaptation of the source material like it is presented with anime.
I obvioulsly know that they are pretty different mediums mainly because on the side of manga there is lmost always only one writer and then when that is adapted it is still the same story told by the vision of the director and such, but the story is almost always the same beat by beat.
That never happens with comics.
Im mainly thinking about this right now because of the new Hush animated movie
I have not watch it yet and I actually wasnt even planning on picking it up, however thanks to CBR I got spoiled on the new twist.
Which I absolutely hate.
Even without really watching it I feel that this direction is complete non-sense
I dont even like Hush(the storyline or the character) that much, I think the story is extremely overated and both Heart of Hush and House of Hush are way better stories about that.
another good example of this is movie: Batman Vs. Robin
which despite of its title is actually an adaptation of Scott Snyder's Court of Owls storyline, which is one of my all time favorites and yet this is also not that either, it is instead a weird amalgamation of Snyder's Court of Owls with Peter Tomasi's Born to Kill storyline, which is also a very good arc too, yet the movie doesnt serve as a good replacement for either, I did enjoy this movie but not as much as I would expect something like a direct adaptation from beginning to end from those stories.
Would it be bad if for example DC made a new animated tv series and they just adapted Snyder's arc or Morrison's or King's from begining to end, scene by scene, panel by panel, bubble by bubble?
Im I wrong thinking something like that wouldnt be bad or difficult or even non-profitable or should DC Animated wing be independant on just adapting the stuff that they have with what they have?
or maybe should they start making completely new original stories again?
remembering that BTAS gave us Harley Quinn, the new origin for Mr Freeze, the Phantasm, etc.
