When a work becomes popular, it is likely to get adapted to another medium,note For the purposes of this trope, "adaptation" is applied broadly and can also include parodies and remakes within the original medium often by people of a completely different mind than the original creator. Sometimes the adaptation stays true to the source, at least enough to please the creator. Sometimes, however, the adaptation makes the creator cry, and cry very vocally against it. A few creators will have enough pull to limit the distribution of the adaptation, or disallow further derivative works based on it. But in most cases, the creator signed away the rights long ago, which they may not know about at the time, and can do little more about it other than write Strongly Worded Letters and perhaps strive for more creative control in the future. Regardless, they will distance themselves from the adaptation in question. A variant of Creator Backlash. If a creator can do something about it, and does, the result is often Canon Discontinuity. Compare Only the Creator Does It Right. Contrast Creator-Preferred Adaptation, Approval of God, and Spiritual Adaptation. Can also lead to No Adaptations Allowed when the creator gave out dissatisfaction to the adaptation of their work and will not give out rights to any other adaptations to their work. This is usually limited to works that were adapted while the creator of the original was still alive. While we would like to think that some posthumous adaptations have the creator rolling in their graves, we'll never know for sure. However, there have been some cases where family members/estates of the deceased creator have taken this stance against an adaptation if they own the rights of the work. It's also worth noting that several examples here, while disliked by the creator, were very well received by critics and fans and in some cases were Vindicated by History, so this does not automatically mean the result of the adaptation was terrible. |

In an interview, Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons outright said that he refused to read Doomsday Clock (a twelve issue mini-series by DC Comics chronicling a crossover between the main DC Comics universe and the Watchmen universe), going on to say that it was the politest thing he could say about the story (and later clarified that while he understood why people would want Doomsday Clock, he just didn't see the point). Alan Moore was a whole lot less kind, however, saying that all people involved in the creation of story, up to and including the people who read it, "should be dragged off to Hell by their nipples". While Moore is infamous for hating any attempt at adapting his work, in the case of Doomsday Clock he was Screwed by the Network as his contract with DC stipulated that he'd get the rights back once it went out of print, only for them to reprint it and salt the wound by integrating the story into The DCU to boot. |

Robin Hardy, director of the original version of The Wicker Man, disliked the 2006 remake. More subtley, Christopher Lee was also quite surprised about it and thought of it as a different film altogether rather than a remake. Hardy went so far as to make The Wicker Tree, a thematic sequel to the original film, nearly forty years after the fact simply out of spite for the remake, and cast Lee in a minor part for good measure. While The Wicker Tree was a critical and commercial bomb, all that mattered to Hardy was that it got a better reception than the remake. | |

The real Dr. Hunter Adams was dissatisfied with Patch Adams, saying that it is more commercial and focuses more on him being funny than his actual methods.note His philosophy is about using friendliness and humor to help in the healing process, using alternative medical treatments as well; the movie presented him as guy who likes making people feel better but actually getting better is a secondary issue. He was also annoyed that Robin Williams did not bother to donate any of his $21 million salary to his institute, although he did not dislike Williams as a whole and applauded his support for St. Jude Children's Hospital. In fact, the two were otherwise pretty good friends, so much so Adams would later write for Time Magazine a heartwarming farewell to Williams after his death in 2014. | |

Mitsuo Fukuda, in a series of tweets, wasn't happy over how Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny was adapted in the Super Robot Wars games (specifically, Super Robot Wars Z), presumably due to the Fix Fic nature of the games. Ironically, this is in sharp contrast to the consensus of the fandom at large, in large part due to SEED Destiny's controversial reception. | |

Following their departure from the Crash Bandicoot series, original developers Naughty Dog have given mixed feelings towards other developers' attempts at recreating the franchise. Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells states that "It's a little bit like watching your daughter do porn". Naughty Dog was, however, quite impressed by Vicarious Visions' work on the N. Sane Trilogy remasters of the original 3 games. | |

Don Mancini, the creator of the Child's Play franchise, was not pleased with the announcement of its 2019 reboot, not least because he was still making Child's Play films himself and was working on a TV adaptation at the time. While noting that the studio had the legal right to do as they pleased with the remake, he turned down an executive producer credit, feeling that he was being patronized and that the studio was reaching out to him simply to get his stamp of approval. Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly, who voiced the killer doll Villain Protagonists Chucky and Tiffany in the older films, also expressed their disapproval with the remake. | |

Death Wish: Brian Garfield, author of the original novel upon which the film was based, disliked the film adaptation, acknowledging its impact but calling it "woeful" as cinema. He hated the sequels even more, calling them "nothing more than vanity showcases for the very limited talents of Charles Bronson." He wrote the book as a deconstruction of vigilantism, portraying it as a road that led to fascism no matter the good intentions of the people who turned to it, and the films' endorsement of such led him to write the sequel Death Sentence as a far more pointed and blunt deconstruction that portrayed the vigilante as a Villain Protagonist. Death Sentence would itself receive a film adaptation in 2007 from James Wan that, while heavily altering the story (most notably by turning it into a standalone film rather than a sequel to Death Wish), still retained its core themes, and thus largely met Garfield's approval. As for the remake, Joe Carnahan was not happy with how his script for it was handled. He had little nice to say about either the rewrites or the casting of Bruce Willis in the lead role (which caused him to leave the project), such that he's considered taking his original script and making a standalone film out of it. |

British folk singer Ewan MacColl hated each and every one of the many covers of his song "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", even the version that had become a worldwide hit for Roberta Flack. His daughter-in-law recalled that he held a special disdain for Elvis Presley's cover: "He said that the Elvis version was like Romeo at the bottom of the Post Office Tower singing up to Juliet. And the other versions, he thought, were travesties: bludgeoning, histrionic, and lacking in grace." | |

Steve Moncuse, writer and artist of the comic book Fish Police, had no kind words for the CBS cartoon of the same name. In a 2010 interview, he said of the latter, "The less said about the animated series the better. I think I finally got the last knife out of my back about three months ago." It probably didn't help that the cartoon was an In Name Only adaptation that kept almost nothing but character names and an underwater crime setting. | |

To date, there has only been one exception to this rule: an episode of the animated show Justice League ("For the Man Who Has Everything", based on the comic of the same name). Moore approved of them adapting his story beforehand and allowed his name to appear in the credits, and Dwayne McDuffie did confirm that Moore enjoyed it. He was also reportedly amused by Harry Partridge's parody short Saturday Morning Watchmen; contrary to popular belief, he is not actually on record as having enjoyed it or approved of it in any way (though Dave Gibbons did). | |

Katsura Hoshino was dissatisfied with the changes made to the first anime adaptation of D.Gray-Man due to TMS Entertainment's inclusion of filler material. Eight years later, TMS offered to make Hallow, but given her thoughts on how they handled the series, Hoshino unsurprisingly declined at first. Although she got involved as a supervisor, Hoshino later admitted on Instagram that she was disappointed with the changes made to her characters as well as a promotional poster depicting Allen and Kanda in suggestive poses resembling two people post-coitus. | |

V for Vendetta: Moore specifically requested that his name be removed from the production after Joel Silver (the film's producer) lied about Moore's enthusiasm for the shooting script. This, and the rather poor quality of previous adaptations of From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, prompted his decision to have his name removed from any further adaptations of works he has no ownership of, and his pseudo-royalties distributed amongst the relevant artists. Hence, he has received no money from the filmmakers behind V for Vendetta, Constantine (2005), or the Watchmen movie, and adaptations of Moore's works after Watchmen are credited to the co-creators (e.g., the adaptations of Watchmen and Batman: The Killing Joke were credited to Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland, respectively). | |

Yellow Submarine was initially this. At first, The Beatles wanted to disassociate themselves from the project based on the poor reviews of their TV special Magical Mystery Tour and their dislike of the television cartoon based on them. But after seeing the finished project, the group got excited and chose to do the live ending. To this day, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr still embrace the film. | |

Williams hated the adaptation of Suddenly, Last Summer, denying he had any part in writing the script despite having screen credit. He thought Elizabeth Taylor was miscast as Catherine, that the film went too far afield from his original play and "made [him] throw up". | |

Perhaps the most extreme example is Boris Vian's reaction to the film adaptation of his novel, I Will Spit on Your Graves (not to be confused with I Spit on Your Grave). Vian denounced the adaptation while it was in production. He attended the premiere, but started complaining about the film a few minutes into the screening. Then he collapsed with a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital. | |

SCP Foundation: Animation channel TheRubber has been called out by numerous authors on the wiki for deliberately changing the narratives of SCPs covered by them and removing female, non-binary, and LGBT representation from them. Over 1000 articles had any current or future translation on the Spanish branch disavowed in August 2022, due to concerns over homophobic dogwhistling being involved in an updated policy for translated works on the branch.Specifically...The policy prevents the website logo from being altered in site themes unless it is relevant to the article, like Site-43's logo or that of a Group of Interest. It just so happens that the only reason this would not be the case is to include a pride flag. |

Martin Charnin, lyricist and director of Annie, stated in an article in 1996 that he refuses to acknowledge the film. However, unlike other instances of this, Charnin goes on to state that it's his own fault that the movie turned out the way it did, as, in his own words, he, composer Charles Strouse, and librettist Thomas Meehan, failed to secure any degree of creative control over the film when they signed away the film rights. | |

When creating Ashley Kafka for The Amazing Spider-Man (1963), J.M. DeMatteis based and named her after a friend of his, Frayda Kafka. The real life Kafka wasn't happy with the character being Gender Flipped and made into a villain for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, nor for that matter, is she happy with Dan Slott killing her off. | |

David Wise, one of the writers for the original Transformers cartoon, has a bone to pick with the films. He feels that they have less story and characters than the show he worked on, and has questioned the portrayal of Optimus Prime, mainly him executing Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. He compared the original Optimus with Abe Lincoln, and responded: "He's got to have malice toward none. And Abe Lincoln doesn't just up and bust a cap in a dude's ass because he was a turncoat." He told Michael Bay "Leave my stuff alone!" in relation to both the original Transformers cartoon and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987). | |

David Morrell, the author of First Blood, was always fairly pleased with its film adaptation and the resulting Rambo film franchise, even with the many changes it made (particularly John Rambo's Adaptational Heroism; Morrell originally wrote him as a murderous villain). He was not nearly so cordial about the fifth film, Rambo: Last Blood, saying that he was "embarrassed to have [his] name associated with it" and that he felt "degraded and dehumanized" as he left the theater. He had originally been working with Sylvester Stallone on the script, but Stallone wound up using only the most basic outline of his ideas in the finished product, and he found the resulting film to be soulless and poorly made on top of it. The only part he liked was the first two minutes. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: J. R. R. Tolkien did not hesitate to reject the very first proposal to make The Lord of the Rings into a live-action movie in 1958. His comments on the alterations made in the proposed scripts are one long "The Reason You Suck" Speech, ending with this gem: Tolkien expressed displeasure at the only adaptation of The Lord of the Rings to be produced in his lifetime — the 1955-56 BBC Radio Drama. His critiques generally boiled down to his belief that the books were unadaptable and that the cast and crew of the production were not taking their source material sufficiently seriously. Unfortunately, modern-day audiences aren't able to form an opinion on the matter either way, as the tapes were wiped and all episodes are considered lost. Tolkien's third son Christopher disliked the way New Line Cinema handled the film adaptations of LOTR, describing them in a 2012 interview as "action movies for 15 to 25 year olds". Christopher's son Simon (Tolkien's grandson), meanwhile, had nothing but positive things to say about the films, which unfortunately caused a rift between him and his father until their reconciliation in 2012. |

Metal Gear: Hideo Kojima, who was not involved in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of the original Metal Gear, doesn't like it due to the many changes that were made from the redesigned stages (such as the addition of a jungle area at the beginning) to the omission of the actual Metal Gear mecha. Kojima seems to be a bit more positive (or less negative, depending on your point of view) regarding Snake's Revenge, as seen in this interview. While he did refer to it as "a bit of a crap game" during his GDC 2009 presentation, this seems to be more of an acknowledgement of the game's lackluster reputation, rather than his own stance. |

Frédéric Molas has said in an interview that he doesn't like the Joueur du Grenier comic, and recommends to not buy it. He specifically associated with Piratesourcil because he knew the artist could produce the kind of comic he wanted, and they came up with various jokes on par with the kind of humor found in JdG, but the editor scrapped all of their ideas to make something more consensual, resulting in a rather bland comic. He even included a Take That! to it in one his video, where his younger self read the comic and his father (played by Frederic Molas aka the real Joueur du Grenier) tells him to stop reading that crap. | |

They were disgruntled with how the anime adaptation of Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- turned out to be due to its Troubled Production and the tight deadline NHK gave Bee Train. It reached the highest point in the first season finale, where a spell caused dead people to revive — which nullifies all the plot of Tsubasa! The first season finale also created a Plot Hole as the characters were fighting with the main villains mooks, as by that point in the story the main characters were unaware there was a villain who had connections to the heroes. The studio undid it the next season, but the damage was already done, and both CLAMP and Bee Train pulled the plug on a potential third season. The anime production staff was switched to Bee Train's parent company Production I.G to produce the Tokyo Revelations OVAs. | |

House of Gucci: Patricia Gucci (Maurizio's second cousin) told the Associated Press, in the name of the family, that they were "truly disappointed" by the project. "They are stealing the identity of a family to make a profit, to increase the income of the Hollywood system." She added: "Our family has an identity, privacy. We can talk about everything, but there is a borderline that cannot be crossed". According to Gucci, the three central concerns of the family are the lack of contact with Ridley Scott, the alleged inaccuracies in the book on which the film is based, and the casting of high-profile actors to play people who weren't connected with the murder. She also said that the Gucci family will decide what their next course of action will be after watching the completed film. | |

John Byrne also hated the third movie's Mandarin twist. Ironically, given his own tendency to Darker and Edgier work, including the original Civil War, Mark Millar found Captain America: Civil War to be too dark. Mantis' creator, Steve Englehart, wasn't happy with the decision in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to use the later Guardians of the Galaxy comics' version of a spacey, oddball precog and emotion manipulator, as opposed to his original version in The Avengers as a willful and seductive mystical martial artist. It didn't help that the movie completely changed her background from a human woman of German/Vietnamese ancestry with ties to the Kree, to a total alien as well as eschewing her distinctive speech patterns. Combined with a creator not knowing about a pre-existing concept, Lou Ferrigno thought the Savage Hulk's appearance made the character work and thus frowned upon Professor Hulk being used in the film — seemingly unware the film didn't create Professor Hulk, as it was an element taken from Peter David's run on The Incredible Hulk. |

While he doesn't hate X2: X-Men United, the years since its original release has seen Chris Claremont view it as a poor adaptation of God Loves, Man Kills because of the changes it made. Unsurprisingly, Rob Liefeld hated what X-Men Origins: Wolverine did to Deadpool, going as far as to write a letter asking the film to be reshot with Deadpool sporting a mask. According to Liefeld, Jim Lee was also unhappy with how the film did Gambit, one of Lee's creations. Bob McLeod, who co-created the New Mutants comic, gave the film a savage review, despising the casting of a white Brazilian as Sunspot (an Afro-Brazilian character), hating how the other characters were adapted as well, and the final insult being how the credits spelled his name as "Bob Macleod". |

The only film King likes less than Children of the Corn is the film adaptation of Maximum Overdrive, which he directed himself. He admitted to making the film while in the middle of a nasty cocaine habit, and has gone on record as calling it a "moron movie." | |

Scott Spencer hated both film adaptations of Endless Love. For clarity's sake, the novel is about a Stalker with a Crush, and the extremes he goes to in order to be with the object of his obsession. Both films went for a straightforward romance: He called the 1981 version a "botched" job and wrote that Franco Zeffirelli "egregiously and ridiculously misunderstood" the novel. He thought that the 2014 version was even worse. He said about the script: |

Bloom County creator Berkeley Breathed is disappointed by the 1991 animated special based on one of his books, A Wish for Wings that Work (which itself is based on Bloom County), because of the overall results, despite being credited as writer and executive producer. When asked about a copy of the special on VHS or DVD in a 2003 interview, Breathed replied that "Hopefully in the rubbish pail. We can do better than that and we will with an eventual Opus film.. but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I presume your family was on speed when they watched it. I would imagine it helps." In a 2007 interview, Breathed claimed that the reason he dislikes the special was simply "unspectacular ratings" and his humor "wasn't meant for television, even if it was done right." Another reason was his "lack of writing experience" and the director was way over his head. He also would have preferred Sterling Holloway to provide the voice for Opus. | |

Coolio famously hated "Amish Paradise", "Weird Al" Yankovic's parody of his greatest hit "Gangsta's Paradise." Coolio had told Yankovic's people no when they asked, but Yankovic maintains that he was given a yes from the rapper's record label (who probably cared more about the potential royalties than their artist's personal wishes). Yankovic has since made it a point to directly ask the artist themselves if he can spoof their song rather than going through middlemen. However, Coolio later admitted he regretted his initial reaction,note Upon reflection, Coolio remembered that Michael Jackson was a big fan of Al's song parodies, giving Al approval to spoof nearly anything in Jackson's discography, and that his own snub was an attempt to place himself higher than Jackson. also stating that he found the song to be funny, and the two artists had made amends before Coolio's death in 2022. | |

Don Henley hated a cover of "The End of the Innocence" by indie rock group Okkervil River so much that he filed a cease-and-desist injunction against the band, forcing them to remove it from their website, where they had been uploading covers of songs that had been important to their lead singer Will Sheff. Henley's issue was that Sheff had written an additional coda to the song and included it at the end of their cover. In a later interview, Henley made a rather blunt statement about covers of his songs, in light of both the Okkervil River controversy and Frank Ocean's sampling of "Hotel California" on one of his songs, which Henley had also blocked from release. | |

RuPaul's Drag Race: Once a Season the show holds "The Snatch Game," a Match Game parody challenge where the queens impersonate a celebrity and have to give their best improv performance. Most living celebrities love seeing themselves impersonated on the show even if the performance goes poorly. Not Patricia Quinn, best known for playing Magenta The Maid in Rocky Horror Picture Show. When Season 12 contestant and Rocky Horror aficionado Aiden Zhane impersonated her in the challenge and utterly bombed it, Quinn minced no words saying that she hated the performance, was insulted by Aiden calling her a senile drug addict, and she made it clear that she doesn't know Aiden despite the latter's claim that they had lunch together (most likely it was one fan event out of countless others). | |

While he was brought up to write the first draft of the script, he has stated on several occasions that director Kevin Munroe and writer Gerry Swallow ended up rewriting it so heavily that all that was left of his influence were "his fingerprints," and he would end up leaving the project due to creative differences and due to the stress that working with a movie studio put on him. | |

However, he did say that he enjoyed it as an original work, and noted that, since it diverged so heavily from the book beyond the basic premise, he didn't think that the filmmakers butchered the story he wrote. He even stated that Jurgen Warmbrunn, the only character who made the transition from the book to the movie, was "pretty spot on" from how he imagined him. | |

Christian Nyby, the director of the 1951 film The Thing from Another World, hated John Carpenter's 1982 remake, titled simply The Thing. He said that audiences who wanted blood (the film being much Bloodier and Gorier than the original) were better served going to a slaughterhouse, and that all it was good for was serving as an ad for J&B Scotch. Kenneth Tobey, the lead actor from The Thing from Another World, also criticized the 1982 film, saying that the gory special effects overshadowed everything else and "were so explicit that they actually destroyed how you were supposed to feel about the characters". | |

Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the Double Dragon series, disliked the Master System port of the first game published by Sega in his French biography Enter the Double Dragon, claiming that the developers (later revealed to be Arc System Works working under a contractual basis) focused too much on trying to faithfully reproduce the arcade version's level designs, moves and enemy characters on a less capable hardware at the expense of the game's playability and visuals. He prefers the approach his team took with the NES version, where they remade the game to fit with the hardware's specifications and argues that's the approach they should've taken with the SMS version. Ironically, Arc System Works would end up becoming the copyrights owners to all of Technos Japan's former IPs from previous copyright holder (Million Corp.), which ended up with Minoru Kidooka (ASW's founder and CEO) apologizing on his company's behalf to the former Technos staff members in an interview. | |

Stargate writers Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin (the former also being the director) have had less than kind things to say about Stargate SG-1, which is why they refused to get a "created by" credit for it, and at one point planned to make a direct sequel to the film that would have completely ignored the TV series just to spite it. Ultimately subverted by Devlin in a 2020 interview with Gateworld as while he was uncomfortable with the nudity in the Pilot Episode (which understandably was a result of Executive Meddling, thus syndicated airings and the Re-Cut version remove said content), he came to believe that the passion of SG-1's fanbase reflected the fact that Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner had created a really good show, having reached out to Glassner for the first time. |

Fresh Off the Boat faced this from Eddie Huang, the writer of the memoir that it is based on. Shortly after the series premiere, Huang criticized the show for scrubbing out the darker aspects of his life and veering away from the actual events to be more of a traditional family sitcom. He even left his part as the narrator of the show early on. His feelings have since softened up — although he never returned to narrate it over the course of its run, he did come to praise it for being a positive portrayal of Asian-Americans. | |

Brian Garfield, author of the original novel upon which the film was based, disliked the film adaptation, acknowledging its impact but calling it "woeful" as cinema. He hated the sequels even more, calling them "nothing more than vanity showcases for the very limited talents of Charles Bronson." He wrote the book as a deconstruction of vigilantism, portraying it as a road that led to fascism no matter the good intentions of the people who turned to it, and the films' endorsement of such led him to write the sequel Death Sentence as a far more pointed and blunt deconstruction that portrayed the vigilante as a Villain Protagonist. Death Sentence would itself receive a film adaptation in 2007 from James Wan that, while heavily altering the story (most notably by turning it into a standalone film rather than a sequel to Death Wish), still retained its core themes, and thus largely met Garfield's approval. | |

Little Lulu creator Marjorie Henderson Buell hated the cartoons made by Famous Studios in the 1940s, which she didn't feel were true to the original comics, and got involved with the making of those two Lulu shorts in the '60s to make sure that they were faithful to her work. | |

Warlord of Mars, the adaptation of John Carter of Mars was notoriously disowned by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate, who filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against its publisher Dynamite Entertainment citing the nude cover variants featuring female protagonist Dejah Thoris as they feared it would harm their brand. Surprisingly, the lawsuit did little to affect the comic and its spin-off's publication until 2014 when the dispute was amicably resolved, and both parties have worked together to relaunch the comic. | |

It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown: Charles M. Schulz regretted giving permission to show the Little Red-Haired Girl and giving her a name (Heather) as he had wanted her to remain The Ghost in order to show Charlie Brown's hopelessness in longing for her. He subsequently declared that the TV specials weren't canon and only the comic strip counted (he would still continue to help write the TV specials until his death in 2000). | |

Transformers series: David Wise, one of the writers for the original Transformers cartoon, has a bone to pick with the films. He feels that they have less story and characters than the show he worked on, and has questioned the portrayal of Optimus Prime, mainly him executing Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. He compared the original Optimus with Abe Lincoln, and responded: "He's got to have malice toward none. And Abe Lincoln doesn't just up and bust a cap in a dude's ass because he was a turncoat." He told Michael Bay "Leave my stuff alone!" in relation to both the original Transformers cartoon and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987). Matt Moylan, the former editor and staffer for Dreamwave's Transformers: Generation One comics and author of Lil Formers, also expressed complete distaste to the entirety of Michael Bay's live-action films. He even claimed that in his eyes the Transformers franchise is financially dead because of this. Simon Furman, who wrote several issues of The Transformers (Marvel), had mixed feelings about the Michael Bay films. While he appreciated the scale of the action scenes and visuals, he felt the films lacked compelling stories and characterization. Furman admitted that while the films would likely appeal to children, they were too frenetic and overly long for his tastes. Derrick J. Wyatt, the art director and character designer for Transformers: Animated, didn't care much for the way Lockdown, who he helped create, was adapted in Age of Extinction. He was even less happy about the design of Hot Rod in The Last Knight, responding to a tweet of the design (which proudly boasted it was "no cartoon") with a blunt "Fuck you" and deriding him as a "name slap" within replies. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Various Sonic Team members have decried the multiple western Sonic cartoons for having been developed with little or no input from them. Most notably, Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka has gone on record to criticize them for getting Sonic wrong in his eyes. A particular source of contempt of his was Sonic Underground giving him siblings. It's likely that this was one of the reasons why the Sonic franchise was forced to follow the Japanese game canon worldwide come Sonic Adventure. Similarly, current head Takashi Iizuka publicly apologized for the Sonic Boom franchise and went on to say that he deeply regretted not having a greater say in its development and design. The only exception was Sonic's original designer, Naoto Ohshima, who was a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) despite that show never reaching Japan airwaves, even receiving an art cel from the crew. Whilst Sega has a complicated relationship with Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic The Hedgehog Sat AM, they will occasionally allow some material from them into adaptations. This is not the case for Sonic Underground with Sega outright vetoing Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) from using characters or concepts from Underground, even though they were allowed to use things from the prior two Sonic cartoons. |

Back when the compilation film of the Future Boy Conan was being made, some staff sent a VHS tape with some early animation to Alexander Key, the writer for the book the series is based on, and his family, as a courtesy. However, Key hated the show and the changes Miyazaki and the other staff made so much that he told his estate to never allow the anime to come over in America, threatening to sue anyone who ever attempted to do so. | |

Pogo creator Walt Kelly despised Chuck Jones' The Special Pogo Birthday Special, mainly for mucking about with what Kelly wanted, and how "he took all the sharpness out of it and put in that sweet, saccharine stuff that Chuck Jones always THINKS is Disney, but isn't"—something Kelly didn't say lightly, considering he was a former Disney animator and a good friend of Walt Disney. He and his wife, Selby, worked on their own animated Pogo short (We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Us) that would've been more political and closer to the strip, but Kelly's failing health prevented it from being completed. | |

Ichiei Ishibumi was dissatisfied with the third season of the High School D×D anime, BorN, due to disagreements between him and Tetsuya Yanagisawa over adapting volumes 5 through 7 for that season. Ishibumi would go on to write the EX spinoff for the Blu-ray release to make the season's last four episodes into an Alternate Continuity before he and Yanagisawa went their separate ways. Then, Passione took over as the main animation studio for the fourth season, Hero. | |

He was very critical of the film adaptation of Clear and Present Danger. Most notably, he disliked the ending. In the movie, Ryan blows the lid off the covert operation in Colombia by publicly testifying before Congress. In the book, the men responsible for the operation are quietly dealt with behind the scenes. Tom Clancy feels that Jack Ryan would never take a course of action that would result in the United States being damaged by a major scandal. | |

Exorcist II: The Heretic holds a reputation as one of the worst horror sequels ever made, an opinion that is shared by, among (many, many) others, William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin, the respective writer and director of The Exorcist (Blatty having written both the original novel and the screenplay for the movie). Blatty said that he was the first person in his theater to start laughing at the film, while Friedkin compared it to witnessing a traffic accident and recounted a story of Warner Bros. executives being chased from the theater by angry moviegoers within ten minutes. Blatty, in fact, went so far as to write Legion, an official sequel to The Exorcist, specifically because of what a disservice to his work he felt had been done by The Heretic, despite having never originally intended to write a sequel. Legion would later be adapted as The Exorcist III, which took only the first film as canon and which Blatty personally wrote and directed. | |

The Malibu Comics adaptation of Street Fighter was cancelled after three issues because, according to a statement at the end of the third issue, Capcom themselves didn't like it. The comics made several controversial changes, the most notorious of which was killing off one of the series' main characters in the second issue. It isn't even mentioned in the Timeline section of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, despite the 1994 movie and The Legend of Chun-Li, themselves not held in high regard, being acknowledged in there. | |

Dahl was so angry with Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory — he wrote the original script for it and received sole onscreen credit, but it was heavily rewritten by Bob Kaufman and David Seltzer; also, he wanted Spike Milligan to play Willy Wonka and was disregarded — that he left it in his will that the source novel's sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator could never be made into a movie. Subsequent adaptations, such as the 2005 Tim Burton film, notably have no sequel hook and end on notes of complete closure. Moreover, Dahl's disowning of this film was behind him not granting film rights to any of his other children's books until the late 1980s; films of Danny the Champion of the World and The BFG arrived in 1989 — and then the Rule of Three set in the next year with... | |

They pulled the game from their store and refuse to acknowledge it as part of the series, referring to it as "Russian Postal" and "Akella's Postal spinoff". Postal III was eventually brought back into the Postal games with Postal 2: Paradise Lost through circumstances made after Apocalypse Weekend. | |

Home Alone: Daniel Stern played Marv in the first two movies. He was approached to reprise his role in Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House. He refused, and French Stewart was cast in his stead. Stern was later quoted as saying Taking Back the House was "An insult, total garbage." Director Chris Columbus also worked on the first two moviesnote He was involved in the concept stages of 3, but Macaulay Culkin retired from acting. Other members of the main cast left soon after to pursue different projects. Columbus balked, unable to work with a new cast.. When asked for his thoughts on Home Sweet Home Alone, Columbus expressed displeasure with Disney trying to recapture the success of the original films. In general, Columbus has been highly critical of the numerous reboots and remakes Hollywood has made. |

Godzilla (1998) was disowned heavily by Toho; to the degree that not only did they choose to get directly involved with the next US remake, but Godzilla: Final Wars includes a scene where the 1998 version (credited as "Zilla") is unceremoniously killed off by the original in a Curb-Stomp Battle in Sydney. Both Haruo Nakajima and Kenpachiro Satsuma (former suit actors for Godzilla) also expressed dislike for the 1998 film in interviews. | |

Rev. Wilbert and Christopher Awdry were at first supportive of The Railway Series adaptation Thomas & Friends, Wilbert even stating he thought the first two seasons were mostly decent renditions of his stories. However they came to dislike the increased creative liberties taken from the third season onwards, inventing new stories or retooling their own tremendously, as well as violating accuracies to railway code. Christopher also became annoyed with how the show affected his own writing of the novels, being mandated to rush in more Thomas focused stories. The Reverend's daughter (Veronica Chambers) and the TV adaptation's creator Britt Allcroft would later criticize the Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go Continuity Reboot. | |

P.L. Travers hated the Disney film adaptation of her Mary Poppins books, which served as the subject of the 2013 film Saving Mr. Banks. In a rare 1977 interview, Travers would later state that she thought the film was well made and had a lot of positive aspects to it. However, she felt it was so different from her books that she wasn't happy with the final product. When she was first approached by Cameron Mackintosh to produce the stage musical, Travers stated that no one from the film production were to be involved with the making of the musical. This included any new songs by the Sherman Brothers, though she allowed some songs from the movie, cut or not, into the show. | |

The Witches (1990), the last Dahl adaptation released in his lifetime. The only thing he was pleased with was the casting and performance of Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch. He was particularly upset over the Bittersweet Ending of the book being replaced with a Happily Ever After. The story goes that he stood outside cinemas with a megaphone telling people not to watch the film!note Given Dahl died of cancer six months later, it is not clear how true this is, although he certainly threatened to start a publicity campaign against the film. | |

Henk Rogers, co-founder of The Tetris Company, regrets lending the Tetris name to Tetris Attack, which was actually a modified North American version of the Super Famicom puzzle game Panel de Pon. Rogers actually liked Panel de Pon, and part of the reason why he came to dislike using the Tetris brand was because it didn't allow the game to stand under its own merits. Localizations of later versions dropped the Tetris name completely and were released under the title of Puzzle League instead. | |

Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of Harvest Moon, disliked Harvest Moon: Back to Nature upon seeing it. It was meant to be a simple port of Harvest Moon 64, but the team behind the port tweaked it so much that it ended up a completely different title. Wada hated the character changes and hated the emphasis on farming. He had always wanted Harvest Moon to be a fluffy life sim about the relationships people have, with the rural setting and farming elements only acting as a backdrop. Years later, he ended up outright leaving the series due to not liking the way it was going. | |

It's not outright disowned, but Lucas is known for having a fairly neutral opinion of Star Wars Legends, choosing to treat it as an Alternate Continuity to his own films (which it ended up becoming). That said, a few elements did make their way over, such as Aayla Secura appearing in Attack of the Clones, and his own pitch for the sequel trilogy featured Darth Talon as The Dragon to Darth Maul's Big Bad. He has also been very consistent in his approval for it doing stories he himself wouldn't be able to do and has on many occasions made clear that while it isn't his, it is still valid Star Wars. | |

E. H. Shepard, the illustrator of the Winnie the Pooh books, called Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree a "complete travesty" because of its Americanisation. Christopher Robin Milne, the son of author A. A. Milne, also refused to accept royalties from Disney until the last years of his life, for the sake of his daughter. However, the author's widow, Daphne Milne, reportedly liked the film, as did Christopher Robin's daughter. |

Challenger is a 1990 ABC made-for-television film depicting the events leading up to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The families of the astronauts all objected to the film's broadcast, as they had not been properly informed of its production or consulted beforehand. In particular, Jane Smith, wife of pilot Mike Smith, was deeply offended by the finale seemingly implying that he and the other astronauts died happily, claiming it trivialized and exploited the circumstances of her husband's death, while Lorna Onizuka said that the film made a mockery of her husband Ellison's life and the sacrifices he made for his country. | |

¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.? was a series about three generations of a Cuban-American family that ran from 1977 to 1981. In 2018, the show inspired a live stage production titled ¿Qué pasa, U.S.A.? Today!. However, Manolo Villaverde (Pepe, the father) and Ana-Margarita MartÃnez-Casado (Juana, the mother) were quite upset at not being asked to participate in the project, yet having their images used for promotional purposes. All other surviving actors participated. | |

Inafune, one of the creators of the Mega Man series, utterly hated Super Adventure Rockman, a Japan-only FMV title that was mostly handled by others, only dropped into his lap for touch-ups where he wasn't allowed any big changes. His main beef was that it included death in the Classic series, which he felt he owed to the fans to keep lighthearted and friendly. He went as far as to apologize for it in the Official Complete Works. | |

When Charmed (1998) was rebooted in 2018, the decision was criticized by three of the original actresses. Holly Marie Combs said rebooting the show was disrespectful to the original cast and creative team, Rose McGowan said reboots in general are uncreative and has outright refused to watch it, and Alyssa Milano felt that the original cast should have been included or consulted in some manner. Ironically, the only OG actress to be unequivocally supportive of the reboot and its lead actresses is Shannen Doherty, who left the original show due to tensions with her co-stars. Charmed (1998) writer Curtis Kheel had THIS response to the Charmed (2018) Series Finale. | |

The cast members of the original Mission: Impossible television series despised the movie starring Tom Cruise for how it turned Jim Phelps into a treacherous villain. Peter Graves was even offered the chance to reprise the role, but he turned it down in disgust. In addition, Martin Landau (Rollin Hand) and Greg Morris (Barney Collier) were also quite critical about the movie, with Morris actually storming out of the movie premiere in anger before the film actually ended. | |

He has dissociated himself from both remakes of Carrie, as well as The Rage: Carrie 2. Unlike The Shining, though, this isn't so much because he thinks they're a disgrace to his original novel, but rather, because he thinks they're a disgrace to Brian De Palma's film adaptation, which he finds to actually be a better work than his book. | |

Priscilla is a 2023 biopic based on Priscilla Presley's memoir Elvis and Me, about her tumultuos relationship with Elvis Presley. Elvis and Priscilla's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, expressed disapproval of the script and Sofia Coppola's vision for the film, feeling that the depiction of her father was overly-negative, "vengeful" and "contemptuous" despite her mother's approval. As Lisa Marie died in January 2023, nine months before Priscilla was released, it's unknown what she would've thought of the finished film itself. | |
