imo if you are adapting something that plays with its medium into a new medium (book to film, podcast to tv show) you are obligated to ALSO play with the new medium and do something interesting. I donโt care if itโs not 100% faithful, I care if it WORKS. You cannot take a comic book that pushes the boundaries of what you can do in that space and then make the most boring visually flat screen adaptation you have fundamentally missed the point

Murderbot TV is such a great example of how screen adaptations really well and truly donโt have to be direct book-to-script transfers because the medium of TV has the ability to show you different things than books do while still telling the same story.
(spoilers for the finale)
โI need to check the perimeterโ โyou need to check the perimeterโ only hit as hard as it did because of the acting, the composition, the backing track. Thereโs a way that visual media can convey information that would take so long in a book to convey that it would take you out of the moment.
Likewise, MB just fucking bailing worked very well in the book because we got to dig deep into its understanding of what it was doing and why. Just having it walk off, even with an excellent narration, would never have hit as hard on screen.
I truly believe each likely did one of the best things its medium could do to convey the same message, and thatโs a REALLY beautiful thing!!
