They Changed It, Now It Sucks/Film: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

** Though in the process it is moving ever more steadily towards an [[In Name Only]] adaptation. They're still good, but they're becoming entirely different stories.

** The extremeness of this trope was demonstrated by a small line at the end of the third film - "Jill Pole's stopped by for a visit". Cue dozens of purists wailing "Jill and Eustace aren't meant to be friends! Why is she coming over to his house! [[Ruined FOREVER]]!".

** And perhaps proving that this trope does sometimes reflect reality, or at least the box office, while the BBC's version continued on for some time, Walden Media's version staggered and died after ''Voyage of the Dawn Treader''. Apparently the changes didn't bother just the readers.

* The film versions of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' have suffered from their fair share of this, notably with the removal of the last part of ''The Return of the King'' and the complete removal of Tom Bombadil (walking [[Deus Ex Machina]], quintessential [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]] and unplayably strange person that he is) from the story.

** Not to mention Ghan-buri-Ghan and ''his'' [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]], but arguably they are more important to the narrative and the themes than ol' Tom.
