Let's face it: Most of the time, a work is at its best in its original form. However, sometimes there are exceptions to this, and be it by Adaptation Distillation, Adaptation Expansion, Woolseyism, or Superlative Dubbing, the new version of a story comes out so much better than the old that even the original creator admits the superiority of the new one. Compare Approval of God, which refers to fan-works that the creator has a positive opinion on, even if they don't Ascend into canon. Contrast Disowned Adaptation. See also Superlative Dubbing. |

He also prefers the happier ending of the film adaptation of Cujo to the grimmer ending of the book, which he views as something of an embarrassment in hindsight, having written it when he was at a very dark point in his life due to cocaine addiction (such that he can barely remember writing half of it). | |

Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, prefers the TV series over the original comic on a number of points. In particular, he's a huge fan of Daryl, a character created for the show, to the point where he feels that bringing him into the comic would do a disservice to the show. He also feels that Shane and Carol's arcs were handled better on the show. | |

Despite the fandom's reaction to the event, Hajime Isayama of Attack on Titan has gone on the record to say that he preferred how the anime handled Annie's Villainous Breakdown to the way it ended up in the manga, since it more closely matched his original plan for how he wanted that scene to go and he regrets not using it. In fact, he outright pushed for many of the changes himself in order to 'improve' on the manga. | |

Despite he and the rest of his The Death of Superman cohorts having done material built off it, including Superman: Exile, Dan Jurgens had taken issue with how John Byrne ended his Superman run—or more specifically, the fact that it ended with Superman executing a beaten and depowered General Zod at the end of The Supergirl Saga. Jurgens has said that he prefers how Man of Steel handled its version of Superman killing General Zod, done as a heat-of-the-moment decision made to protect an innocent family Zod was actively threatening over the outright execution Byrne went for. | |

The Incredible Melting Man was intended as a parody of horror movies by the director, but Executive Meddling intervened and saw to it that the film became pretty much the type of movie it was intended to spoof, much to the director's dismay. A couple decades later, Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed on the movie and unintentionally restored the parody element, resulting in the director vocally approving of the MST3K episode (unlike several others). (It helped that the episode was filled with shots at Executive Meddling and Hollywood in general, as a means of therapy for Best Brains after the horrors they endured making Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie.) | |

Gary Wolf preferred the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit to the novel he wrote, Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, upon which it was based. He loved it so much that when he wrote a sequel to the film, he retconned the first story as a dream. It was also a matter of practical marketing, since the movie was so much more popular than the book, he figured people who got the later books would expect something more like the movie. | |

Martin hasn't stated that he prefers Game of Thrones to his series of books it is based on (and has hinted at the reverse as the show progressed), but he has gone on record that there are slight differences he wished he had thought of; for example, he stated he considers the show version of Shae a much better character than his book version. In addition, he's apparently said that he might move some of the TV-only characters over to later books, citing Natalia Tena's performance of Osha as being more interesting than how he had written it. | |
