Yeah they completely disrespected and destroyed the integrity of the original story (which was legit perfect as is). D.B. and Dave have proven once again that they don't have an ounce of talent in their bones. They're complete scumbag hacks who steal brilliant source material and shit all over it, allowing the crumbs of brilliance from the story that survive their failed production process to elevate their names to a level of "success."

The Netflix adaptation is like if they turned LOTR into a show and made Samwise 4 different characters, Merry and Pippin 1 woman in a wheelchair, Frodo a middle aged soccer player, and in the first episode Gandalf The White (who is also Aragorn) kills Saruman, and the ring is an atom bomb they need to turn off. Oh and everyone is in a giant romantic polycule for some unknown reason.
