Im glad I lured LtM in this topic because he gets to what I actually want to talk about which is the notion of comics fans angrily demanding precise replications of what they know. None of whats different from the comics hurts the film Birds of Prey in anyway. The question should never be does this follow the comics but does this serve the film, the comics are really irrelevant. It was the same with Iron Man 3 for instance.

Now if you bristle at that, what if I told you that the comic purists are just the precursor to the its bad because the story didnt go the way I wanted type of fans that really became s thing around The Last Jedi. It is the exact same root issue.

You should embrace things that challenge and differ from existing material and your existing ideas on that material. Some of the greatest adaptations of all time radically alter elements of the work. The greatest example may be the ending of The Mist which is genuinely one of the most harrowing endings of any film and also not just radically different but also the complete ideological counter of the book. That would never happen under a mindset of adherence to a source.
