I want to see how physicists would respond to this quote: “Do you know why a ship floats, and a stone cannot?” asks Finrod. “Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast, and irresistible. The ship sees the darkness as well, striving moment by moment to master her, and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward, but up, fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than darkness ever knew.” This pseudo philosophy is pure comedy.🤣🤣🤣

Finrod : Do you know why a ship floats and a stone cannot? Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast and irresistible. The ship feels the darkness, as well, striving moment by moment to master her and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For, unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward but up. Fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than darkness ever knew. Young Galadriel : But sometimes the lights shine just as brightly reflected in the water as they do in the sky. It's hard to say which way is up and which way is down. How am I to know which lights to follow? [he whispers in her ear] Young Galadriel : But that seems so simple. Finrod : The most important truths often are. But you must learn to discern them for yourself. I won't always be here to speak them to you.

It wasn't a cheap ripoff of a large built-in audience.

Remember that one interview with Peter Jackson? The one where he goes "Tolkien was really specific about _his_ values and _his_ message, so we thought it was only right to let that shine through as much as possible. You know.. the banal beauty of the countryside. The corruption of man. The need for good people to stand against evil. The fact that even the simplest and humblest of people can make the world a better place." Something like that, I'm probably paraphrasing heavily. Anyhow, this was in 2001.

Yeah, PJ showed amazing respect for the source material, even when there were things he doesn't agreed. It's totally okay to have SOME changes for the sake of adaptation only. It's impossible for a movie to show everything on a book, many things will be kept off. But it's really offensive (not to the fans, but to the author) to changes thing because you think you can "make it better". Something we sadly see a lot today.

"true to the source material" isn't really feasible or good for a movie/show. What matters is proper respect and reverence to the source material. Trying your best to make the vision of the author and their fans visible on screen. That's what happened with the original LotR movie trilogy. Despite deviating in various ways (which at the time was also critiqued by book readers, but they couldn't have foreseen the current film era), the essence has been preserved and the team was incredibly passionate and on a mission to make the best thing possible at the time. You don't ever see the same amount of passion and resourcefullness on any movie currently.

After season 4 it just became so bastardized compared to the books that even if George told them his ending there is no way they could have gotten it remotely close with everything they cut and changed. Like bran being king is certainly a possibility, but he won’t be THE king he will be A king. Daenerys has been fighting the system her ancestors started (slavery) basically from book 1 so having her come to Westeros and end up dissolving the 7k is entirely within her character. No faegon, no crazy blood magic Euron, no dornish plot, no lady stone heart, too much was left out , I can’t possibly see how they could tie in any ending George gave them. Hence why it was so shit.

It's crazy to think that they forget these stories and books got popular because the person that originally made them made it good. Why do they think "changing it up" is going to ever be received well? I think the biggest thing is that people don't understand the essence of the material, they just see a story and think it can be different or they can inject their opinion/agendas and it will magically be "good". As amongold says, if you are confident you can make a book as good as some of these popular stories, make one yourself rather than trying to edit someone else's work.

@tzaphkielconficturus7136 Ай бұрын

Because sometimes it works. Sometimes you get adaptations which are quite different from the original, and either better or sufficiently different and good for different reasons. The issue is that these people think they can produce one of those with committees of talentless hacks pursuing contradictory goals, writing for an audience that only exists hypothetically. They want to change the material to be better, but they don't want to take any risks. They want to write something that appeals to a mythical "average" consumer. They want something different and interesting enough to appeal to a wide audience, but bland and mushy enough to not turn any of that hypothetical audience away. This wouldn't work any better if they weren't adapting things, which is what they've figured out, because if they produce another mindless, mechanical cashgrab with the name of some popular brand from the 90s on it, idiots will immediately forget all the other terrible adaptations and rationalize about how this one will be different, before donating their money to those some soulless bureaucrats who are "ruining" their favorite things from their childhood.

They truly lost the thread, didn't know what to do with the characters most of the time, and tried to Hollywood Ending the thing when the real ending is probably that everyone died. But we'll probably never know, because Martin has zero focus on finishing the books. He'll do anything _but_ write them, it seems. How long has it been now, since _A Dance With Dragons_ ? July 12, 2011 according to Google. Really, George? Almost 13 years to the day now. Will we ever really see the end of this story? What's also pretty bad is when other productions seemed to try to imitate _Game of Thrones_ . Like _RWBY_ . They did this in their Volume 7 and 8, I think, and it didn't fit that series at all, and also made their lore and worldbuilding fall apart. Not a single character wasn't done dirty, and by the end of Volume 8, both I and my niece had decided to drop the series altogether. Do not be _GoT_ Season 8.

I love fanfic (I mean I write it) but he's absolutely right that showing it off to the og writer unprompted is. Very much frowned upon, even in fanfic circles. The fan in fanfic is supposed to mean by fans for fans. Not by fans for the writer. It's you going "I love this so much, anybody like this that much too?" and a bunch of people going "Yeeee." It's helped me massively improve my own writing because I try to achieve something comparable to my favorite authors and study how they write.

@Najemniczkas Ай бұрын

I also feel like he was mainly talking (or rather sent I suppose) about the fanfics that purely focus on shipping/sexual scenes between characters with not much regard for how the characters are themselves 🥲 Edit. Just going off of the next sentence he mentions. And I wouldn't be surprised if those people that write that kind are the ones sending it

The irony is that GRRM bashed on Star Wars fans for calling out creators for doing the exact same thing, saying that they were just hating on it just to hate on it.

Same guy couldn't understand how people can hate something they used to love. This is why. When new writers make stuff their own. Make it woke, shit on the lore, and obsolutely bastardizes the story. That is why people now hate Star Wars, Amazon LoTR, The last seasons of GoT etc.

@twaggytheatricks4960 Ай бұрын

You can add Megamind to the list now, but honestly I don't even think it's _because_ of the wokeness, or not caring about the lore. I think it's simply because they can't even do that well. I mean if you screenwrite... I don't know, a version of Beauty and the Beast and the Beast is a woman instead, technically, the gender doesn't actually change that much about the story. That is, you know, if you can actually write it well. But if you write it with the _specific intent_ of celebrating your awesome lesbian couple rather than just being like "hey, how would princess x princess affect the worldbuilding realistically, lemme study medieval France ('cause that's the setting) and ask a bunch of competent historians to make sure I get my lore as right as possible", then yeah, you're just being woke instead of legitimately trying to do something cool. Same if you're trying to make a sci-fi version of it. Like, you can, but at this point just research lore and worldbuilding to make sure you make something that's actually unique. This might be a hot take, but from what I've watched and read so far, I think people would be a lot less offended by adaptations if the writing was good.

I took a screen writing workshop a couple years ago and it really opened my eyes to why so many good ideas will never hit the light of day while so many trash ideas get made. The writing community is super small and insulated. Its an echo chamber where not being "on the team" means you will NEVER get past the MULTIPLE levels of gatekeepers and script writers that come before you EVER get close to a director or producer reading ur script. The writing community in Hollywood is almost entirely ran but the gay mafia & they will END YOUR CAREER if they think you are not behind EVERYTHING they support 100%. That workshop really turned me off writing once I realized its not really about what you write, but who you know and what you have to do to get them to back you.

@kerianhalcyon2769 Ай бұрын

As a struggling author, keep writing anyway. Hollywood's heading for a huge crash and new opportunities will dawn following it. If you've got a good film idea, write it down and keep it handy, since you never know when you might get a chance to use it. If nothing else, you can always go the extra mile and make it into a book. The lesson to take from here is to never trust the mainline institutions to get things done anymore, and that thanks to the internet indie stuff can and will flourish without them.

Sounds like an excuse. As a writer who has actually sold their writing to some notable studios, like Blumhouse. I have never had to deal with this, imaginary all-powerful, gay committee you seem to have made up in your head as an excuse as to why you will never be a writer. And I don’t know if you’ve been living under a rock for the entirety of the human race’s existence, but it’s almost always about who you know-networking is the most significant improvement to one’s career, hard work only takes you so far.

I'm not against fan fiction. Because fan fiction isn't written from a place of insult & disgust for the source material. In fact all the fan fiction writers & artists I have ever encountered in my 20 years of existence were actual fans of the IP, they wrote the fanfic because they have immense respect for the original writer & his/her IP. They were willing to put so much effort & time into the fan fiction because they liked the IP in the first place. They were simply exploring the "What if" scenario with their fanfics. An alternate timeline. So the problem isn't fan fiction. The real problem are these woke people at Hollywood & gaming industry who hate the IP & they have an agenda/propaganda they wanna insert in these pieces of art. They look at an IP with ill intentions & have no respect for it. They are not fans of the work, they are activists who wanna change it to feel morally superior. They actively insult the real fans of the IP & make everything about themselves. Basically fan fictions are made by hardcore fans & the community whereas whatever these clowns at Hollywood are making is not a fanfic because these writers & directors are not an actual fan to begin with. Most of them haven't even read the source material. These are talentless people who are just there to get rich off someone else's work & also promote their ideology & propaganda in the process
