One word: graphic novels

I'm being stupid for the funny factor. Don't think I'm serious.

That’s my theory on why movies made from books are often regarded as “not as good as the book”. Partially because movies leave some things out, but I feel like it’s mostly because reality of the movie is no match for your personalized imagination of the story. >

I think this is also the case with manga and anime. I often see people complain that a manga did a certain scene better than its anime. Many times when I check them side by side, the anime scene looks exactly the same, except with extra movement.
I figure that the issue is that they imagined a certain tone of voice and movement in the manga and are disappointed when it doesn't happen like that in the anime. >

Animation absolutely screws with frame details, especially when movement is involved. Add the effect of coloring and you can easily have a bunch of scenes that look better in manga form. >

Not if they saw the movie first.   Millions of people have one memory of Lord of the Rings from the movie.  They will see that when they read the novel. >

I have Aphantasia, I have no idea what characters / scenes in books 'look' like. >

Same. Random question do you usually listen to music? While working or gaming?
And can you hear voices in your head? (have inner monologues) >

I also have aphantasia.  I usually do listen to music while gaming if i get tired of the games music (usually when playing roguelikes).  I also listen to music while doing pretty much anything i dont like doing to entertain myself. 
Also i got an inner monologue. >

Ok so I do not have inner monologues. Its quiet all the time for me on the head. Me myself I can't really lisen to music while playing games because I can't concentrate then.
I guess it's not connected with aphantasia. >

Yeah people with and without aphantasia can have a quiet mind or a inner monologue.
When youre really focused thinking about something do you think in words then? or is it some kind of other thought process?  Ive heard people usually think in images when they dont have an inner monologue but i guess that wouldn't be how you do it. >

It's the best part! My mind's version of "Jurassic Park" would've never made it past the censorship board 🦖 >

Oh God I want to watch it >

I often imagine some scenes from books as similar to certain places I know. A random neighborhood might be like my neighborhood, and I might imagine the layout of a character’s house as similar to my own. >

never have i seen such a relatable comment >

I love this! >

What did it say? >

That's why books to films can be tricky. You have to make thousands of people happy. >

And those will change if you reread the book at a different time/place in your life. >

Not if the face is blurry. I'm sure a lot of us imagine blurry faces. >

I work in advertising and this is the analogy I use when preparing a client for a creative project- that you have to decide whose vision you’re creating (typically businesses have many stakeholders in creative decisions). Every person will have a different vision of the outcome despite the same inputs and parameters. So similar to a movie- only the director will think “this is exactly what I envisioned”, everyone else will find that elements are “off” from what they imagined. But it’s impossible to realize everyone’s vision - whether you’re making a movie or any creative project.
