    People were mad it didn’t follow the book when Adam’s was very insistent all versions of Hitchhiker’s should be different.

            Honestly that’s the other thing in my mind. I know Adams was very clear he just wanted to change up the story but it was either him or some major comic writer who specifically said adaptations being the same story over and over are just boring.

          That’s a very silly take imo, I’ve watched some movies 20 or more times, and if I go watch a movie from a book I would like to see the story from that bloody book.

              So you are saying I don’t even know the real thing, now I’m really pissed off. My point is if uou want to tell a different story, give it a different name.

          The one I saw get brought up a lot was the Arthur/Trillian romance. He had actually experimented with that in drafts for other versions, too, but the movie was the first time it got all the way to the final product.
