Topic	Why does Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events misrepresent the books?

I've never read the series or watched the show, but he's a grown ass man who can't outwit a few plucky orphans that he is literally related to despite being old enough to, you know, hire a lawyer. How savvy could he be? Olaf in the books was a cruel, cold, and calculating bastard who never broke character for an instant. Again, how calculating if he is constantly outwitted by someone literally in diapers. I really wouldn't consider it "outwitted" when the three main characters are only barely escaping by the skin of their teeth each and every time. Every guardian they had wound up dead by his hand; they once had to resort to burning down half a hospital to escape him. Again, though, he is evenly matched by children, then. tbf those children are prodigies. Violet builds a hot air balloon out of paper, Klaus reads dictionaries or something, and the baby makes gourmet food and holds her own in a fucking swordfight with a grown adult with her teeth. So suspension of disbelief is in effect that these orphans are all literal geniuses, but when an antagonist facing off against children over the course of a series is inept, it breaks immersion? It's not me personally but I'm pretty sure TC just doesn't like how they flanderized Olaf's character. It's like if they decided to make darth vader some goofy deadbeat dad who actually went to the dark side because he didn't want to take care of Luke who was an accident and then gets his ass beat by Jabba the Hut in a Star Wars reboot. You'll definitely get fans of his character pissed off that way. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:895080059] in Why does N...
