I think I was more responding to 42 than you, SE.  Though, to be honest, I was partially responding to my own inclinations.  It seems that we are all generally too quick to jump on anything that seems too mainstream.

I've showed you my favorite Pentasmal strip right? I hope so, because I'm too lazy to look it up right now. But essentially, an adaptation is exactly that. An "adaptation," meaning things will get changed. If it weren't for adaptation, we'd have no Lais of Marie de France, no Mallory, no T. H. White's Once and Future King. And that's just Arthur.

Anyway, yeah. that's all I guess

I have a completely irrational perspective of Disney being the Spawn of the Devil.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

You and my likewise angsty/haughty artist brother. He calls them an "evil empire" yet uses Microsoft.

My use of Microsoft is merely a sign of their enslavement of mankind.

I've never forgiven Disney for murdering Jim Henson.
