Disowned Adaptation	comment	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.

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.

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.

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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_1f00cb01	comment	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.

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).

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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_56e10d85	comment	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.

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.

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.

We can talk about everything, but there is a borderline that cannot be crossed".

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.

In a 1989 interview with The Miami Herald, he said, "I seem to be the only guy in the United States who doesn't like the movie. Everyone had a whack at it. They screwed it up 99 different ways." For one thing, Pearce thought Paul Newman was "too scrawny" and completely wrong for the part.

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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_7e3cca6a	comment	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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Disowned Adaptation / int_f2041376	comment	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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_f4163996	comment	Paolo Lorenzini, the nephew of Carlo Collodi, the author of the original The Adventures of Pinocchio book, hated the Disney adaptation for playing fast and loose with his uncle's story, and unsuccessfully tried to sue the studio for misrepresenting his uncle's work.

Disowned Adaptation / int_f53fe2fa	comment	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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_fa450b74	comment	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.

When Sunrise formally announced Legendary Pictures was going to be working on a live-action Gundam film, assurances were immediately made it would not resemble G-Saviour or else it wouldn't be released.

Disowned Adaptation / int_fde40b55	comment	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.

Disowned Adaptation / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Around the time of Star Trek: The Next Generation, series creator Gene Roddenberry admitted that he no longer considered Star Trek: The Animated Series to be canon, believing aspects of it to be "apocryphal". Fan response has since caused Paramount to declare the series is canon, not the first time they've ignored Roddenberry's edicts (see the Live-Action Film folder).
