Listen. I am NOT the type to be overly precious about plot details maintained from book to movie in the process of adaptation. I have taken whole classes on adaptation. I understand that sacrifices need to be made.

It is absolutely crucial that you know that I understand that things must be sacrificed in the process of adaptation.

BUT THE TOWER???

THEY CUT THE FUCKING TOWER????

#megs watches annihilation #like I'm sorry the tower IS THE BOOK #like THE TOWER IS MORE THE BOOK THAN THE LIGHTHOUSE ITSELF.#also (and spoilers ahead for the book) but THEY ALSO CUT THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER JFC #this is really just. WHAT DID YOU KEEP HERE.#they kept the mission and the breakdown of the people and. nothing ELSE APPARENTLY #haven't been so mad watching an adaptation since eragon (2006)#actually no inkheart was the last one but I had very low hopes for inkheart lmfao #for the fact that a HUGE percentage of hollywood films are adaptations. MOST FILM WRITERS ARE SHIT AT ADAPTATION.#for the record I'm watching this now cuz my spouse cannot do horror at ALL he absolutely cannot #and he was like '.....are you.... having fun?' and I was like 'yeah I love media critique and complaining I'm having a blast :3'#as you might imagine I have NO problem with horror whatsoever lmfao
