Message: [QUOTE="Neb Lleb, post: 170260, member: 160436"] Firstly, Apu is NOT a negative stereotype (He was actually one of the most helpful characters on The Simpsons), and secondly, [B][I]WE KNOW.[/I][/B] We KNOW that adaptations will take deviances from the source material. In fact, barring the 1995 Mortal Kombat film, the best video game to screen adaptations do take liberties whilst retaining the key characteristics, iconography and spirit of the original work (I.E. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider or the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, the third of which even goes as far as to play the final boss theme from Sonic Adventure 2, vocals and all). Netflix May Cry on the other hand makes changes it shouldn't have because, again, the show has it out for the source material because the showrunner is a poser who despises how silly it is. It doesn't make changes to fit with the new format, it ditches the source material barring stuff it can use for fanservice because it doesn't want to be Devil May Cry. It wants to be a serious "prestige" show a la Daredevil: Born Again, Invincible, or The Boys, and that's why it changes so much to the point of unrecognisability.
