I talk about this often; the idea that by abusing the source material, eventually the very story that is being adapted is… weakened. Not that the story itself is weakened, but the impact, the perception, and the inspiration of that story to the masses don't mean nearly as much, if anything, for what it should have or what it used to. Did you know there is a Darth Maul television show out right now? Yes, a brand new Star Wars show is out now with Darth Maul as the lead protagonist. Maybe some of you know about it, maybe you don't; regardless, I’m sure not many of you actually care. This is a broader problem. It’s not just Lord of the Rings. Or star wars. Or just movies. It’s the entire entertainment system. It’s storytellers and decision makers and corporate executives that have forgotten what telling stories really is and, especially, the value in letting stories end. • • • Try the Wizard's Hot Cocoa https://FakeWizard.com • • • Discover NEW Games from Indie Developers Visit https://Fa
