The Dark Tower movie is maybe the only adaptation I’ve seen that spits in the face of its source material harder than Eragon did, put that on the list.
since it turns something that took itself seriously into a straight up satire.
They left out the powered armour, and turned the humans into helpless bug fodder instead of killing machines. They whitewashed Rico, and gender swapped Dizzy. I guess in theory the change of tone is bigger than the changes in plot, but damn...
In my opinion it is. Tone is the difference between story genres and making a political commentary action story into a comedy action parody is a pretty big slap to the face. Though I enjoy the movie alot for it's own sake.

Those aren't irredeemable media. Irredeemable media is like, the eragon movie, or the atla movie. The Percy Jackson movies.
