Exactly! I was riding in on a noble steed to say how even the named series were okay, but definitely deviated from the source material in ways that altered the morals and viewpoint being pushed (I’ll never forgive what they did to my amos). Like, it’s always going to happen when you change mediums. Just look at how many arguments about how ‘all batman does is beat up people’ that are constantly seen, which is all thanks to the arkham games where, predictably because it’s easy to build the gameplay around, all batman does is beat up thousands of folks. The fear is that even here, without a change of medium, the desire to adapt it to a modern audience is going to drive the writers to ruin the old feeling of the series. Hell, even when produced in the nearly same time frame, the ‘adaptation’ of star gate universe didn’t do well.
