In the Film medium Directors don't just apply their Directing Talents to a movie but often bring their own style and vision to a movie and in the case above a completely original story not based on any of the comics at a all.
Sometimes this is well received like with the Christopher Nolan Batman movies and other times not like with Ang Lees underrated Hulk.
Recently theres been backlash amongst comics fans of a directors style and tone for an upcoming adaption, a recently past adaption as well as a Director leaving a lest gestating project due to his vision not fitting the studios vision and with this news above of James Gunn ignoring the comics and doing his own story and his own thing I was curious how other CBM fans look at the subject of Director freedom.
What is your opinion of a Director applying his own style, tone, vision, story or changes to the source to an adapted work?

For me what I want first and foremost is a good movie, no point having and accurate turd when you can have an in-accurate rose. After that I want them to be as close as possible to the specific version of the comic characters they've chosen, Afterall there are many versions of the same characters.
When looking at Directors I'd say that there are certain directors I'd love for certain comics but mostly I adapt to the vision of the director at hand and buy into the concept so to speak as I find it interesting how the same stories or characters can be told in different ways, doesn't always work out for the best but it gives each movie a uniqueness which is welcome

Adapting a well known comic book property into a live-action television series or film is a tricky prospect. On one hand you have the original property and an expectation from fans who want to see a faithful translation. And on the other, there’s the obvious desire or need for creative freedom, an approach that may involve drawing inspiration from the source material or handpicking specific elements from said comic instead of strictly following it. Film is a very different medium than monthly comics, after all. |

What many moviegoers may not realize is that one of Marvel’s most successful and well-received projects, Guardians of the Galaxy, is actually the least faithful to the comics. The way the five main characters led by Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord come together, their origins (i.e. Drax no longer from Earth), who they battle against (the villainous Ronan was drastically different than the books where he eventually becomes a heroic figure) and and for (Nova Corps), are all different than the comics. Visual cues, set pieces, most characters and other iconic elements were intact, but for the most part this story was born from the mind of writer and director James Gunn. With a sequel on the way, Gunn’s making it clear that he’s going to be making even more changes going forward, including of course, who Star-Lord’s father is – a mystery that will be answered in Guardians of the Galaxy 2when it opens in theaters May 2017 |
Quote:
In speaking on the Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend podcast this week, Gunn spoke about the sequel, confirming that it’s not just little things that will change, but the entire story of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be his and not based on specific story lines from the comics. |

With Guardians of the Galaxy 2 deviating further from the comics however, and given Marvel’s “whoa” reaction, it could be even riskier. By not following the books or changing characters and their stories, Gunn is potentially creating missed opportunities in not being able to adapt some of the absolute best spaced-based comics Marvel’s ever made (looking at Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova comics from 2006-2010 and their corresponding crossover events). An example of this is how Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) was turned into a relentless “psycho” villainin Guardians and seemingly killed off. Gunn already confirmed Ronan’s not coming back for the sequel (here’s a list of who is coming back) and if he never returns, throwing out Ronan’s important role would also be tossing out his involvement and relationships in many years of cosmic adventures that are worthy of the big screen. We have a feeling he could return down the road though… |
