They Live.

The Thing but not The Thing From Another World.

Most things based on the work of PKD.

A lot of Lovecraft adaptations have to be a bit loose (because his stories tend not to lend themselves to films and he wasn't a good person) and are all the better for it - Re-animator, From Beyond, The Color Out of Space, Dagon, etc. plus quite a few fan films.

Flash Gordon film.

The first two Blade films - they struggle to make great Blade comics.

The Legion TV series.

"The Manchurian Candidate" isn't a great book.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Gotta disagree, the book is extremely entertaining, and has an element of satire that's missing from the movie. I agree that the movie is one of the best ever made tho, and I'm not sure which one I like better, because it's so well done.

Deep Space 9 is light years better than TNG.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

TNG > TOS too. But yeah all three are great and not telling the same story or anything.

The Ten Commandments

I think the anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End was genuinely better than the manga. Which is saying something, because the manga was already pretty damn good.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby.

I think the TV series of Station Eleven is better than the book. Not that the book is bad at all, but the show is something else.
