Butchering cult classics in our modern days

[Arteker]

Now days more and more tv shows, movies are being made from cult books, comics, a ND game, but each time more and more of them just keep the basics of the main source the tittle and little else. The originality and work which turned them into cult classics killed in order to make em fit with the current political agenda.
If you please let me know some upcoming material butchered from the source
Here is the latest case :


Grendel by Matt Wagner.been following this comic since the late 80s . here is brief explanation of the original grendel( as it had many characters following the original steps).
Devil By Deed:The story begins with an extraordinarily gifted boy named Eddie. Because victory in his endeavors comes so easily, it all seems meaningless. In despair, he throws a world-championship fencing match and becomes romantically involved with Jocasta Rose, a trainer twice his age. When Jocasta dies, Eddie leaves behind his life and takes on two new identities: Hunter Rose, successful novelist and socialite, and Grendel, elegant costumed assassin and later crime boss. Grendel is hunted relentlessly by Argent, a several hundred year old Native American man-wolf cursed with a thirst for violence. Argent works with the police in an effort to turn his curse to good.

the comic is brutal sordid ruthless and isnt afraid of nothing from the start wich depict a kid falling in love with a adult women to how he become a monster murder.

Netflix is currently making it with 8 episodes run.and allready broke with all original motivations of the character . turning main character ethnic , and more.is feel free to post so we can avoid watching.
