You're missing a word. I love to see faithful adaptations of GOOD novels, short stories, comics and plays. The original Interlude comic doesn't qualify as such. I know my original review is maybe a hundred pages back at this point, so I'll just bottom line it for you: The comic was written by someone who has no idea how to write comics and drawn by someone who has no idea how to draw comics and the resulting comic shows that, and the absolute last thing anybody should have done was faithfully adapt it into a film, because all that could happen is that all the flaws of the original material will just be transferred onto the screen...and judging by Maurice's review, that's exactly what fucking happened. (Pacing is absolutely the biggest problem with the comic.)
A comic is not a storyboard. A comic script is not a shooting script, and there's a difference between being faithful to original material and being enslaved to it. Lane should not have committed to filming a shot-for-shot, word-for-word remake of the comic without at least correcting the comic's flaws first. He said he would, and from what I'm reading he stuck to that promise, so no, I don't need to waste however many minutes of my life watching a video I know will be shit. If you want to, fine.
