Oh right, you mean what's the worst offence one could commit when adapting something?. Boy, that's tough one.

I think the primary way to muck up any new iteration of a property is to not understand or respect it's original spirit or to just not care about how your version may tarnish it's legacy. Lindsey Ellis gives some good examples of this, in a number of her videos. I'd like to write a big piece that really explores the nature of what i mean, but i don't have the energy for it (at the moment). Basically, i think the most important thing is to have a coherent narrative and compelling characters. I think the basic rules good writing and storytelling apply to every genre or concept, whether it's Shakespeare, superheroes or cartoons.

Now, if i had to choose the worst example of fan-service i have seen in pop-culture so far, it would be the repeat of the "Chopper" line in AVPR. I was honestly insulted by that scene.
