A lot of purist always say that being faithful is important for an adaptation, but is it really. I know there are countless of examples of changes made in adaption that made it worse, but also where changes are actually better. One example is when Krillen was about to kill Vegeta, but Goku stops him. Now this where the differences are seen. In the manga and kai , Goku stops him to one day have another fight. While in the Z dub, Goku wanted to give him mercy so that one day he would as well. I just found the Z dub version more endearing and the most sense really. In the original manga, Krillen basically let a man who was about to kill him, his friends, and the Earth just so Goku can have another fight. And remember that Vegeta almost killed Goku himself, so confidence in Goku is not really a good reason. I just find the original intent to be retarded, while the change makes more sense. Does /a/ have instances of these as well, and do you agree that faithfulness is necessary?

Is this a /pol/ thread?

No.
All that matters is that the work captures the tone of the original. Who wants to see the same shit again?

Its called an adaptation for a reason. It has to "adapt" to a new medium and sometimes changes are necessary.

Well that's part is obvious, an adaptation can't copy every single thing it was adapting, but what I'm talking about is story changes. Like instead of the this character dying, he's becomes evil. Or a character personality is changed completely. Either one of these is what people strongly against, but if the change can actually help the story or make it better, then I think it's more then welcomed.

An adaptation should be based on wether it's good or not.
Being faithful or not doesn't equate to it being good.
Of course you can discuss if a diversion from the source was good or not and how the scene worked differently in the two versions.
Sometimes people are too invested in their shitty manga/vn/ln to realize that they've been eating shit all along.
They just everything on the adaptation because then they can't be criticized for liking the source material.
