I have this compulsive desire to know 100% everything that is going on in that universe, regardless if it's "good" or "bad." Am I really the only one? It can be somewhat hard to explain my reasoning. As a comic book collector, there are just somethings, people, events, that just should be changed or altered when they are transferred to the screen just because the comic book logic is too far fetched. Then, there are just certain characters I have certain views and opinions about and hate it when changes are done to those characters to make them more interesting or because that was the only way they could make the stories work. So I guess what I'm saying is that I hate it when character I like are messed with by the writers and are changed for the shake of the current storyline. I understand. I am a book nerd and I feel the same way about changes in books to films. Sometimes they work. (i.e. ditching Glorfindel from The Lord of the Rings.)  Sometimes they don't. ("The Ring goes to Gondor.")  But I understand that sometimes things have to be changed because the medium changes. For example. I adore the play The Marriage of Figaro. And Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro is my favorite opera. The play was used as the source material for that opera. However, changes (some significant, others not) were made. And I'm 100% okay with those changes because they were necessary for the new medium.
