“The comic is brilliant, Why mess with it? If it broke don’t fix it.” Exactly. If you’re recreating shots based on panels and staying really true to the story, doesn’t that go from a fun filmmaking exercise to a movie that’s not really even necessary at a certain point? For people with all of this reverence for the comic and whose north star is replicating the comic, why, as movie-goers. should we not just go read the comic instead? That would (with respect) be my follow-up question.
