Gn Adaptation - Tumblr Posts

Opinion time: adaptations that are 100% faithful to the original are not only challenging to create but also have limited utility.

Adaptations are in conversation with their source material, not competition.

Not that criticism of adaptations is invalid on these grounds. Just that a material and it’s adaptations are two different works with merits and weaknesses all their own. Though we tend to notice absences in adaptations, they are uniquely positioned to say something new about the subject already addressed in the source material.
