  1. I don't actually think it's the execs fault with this phenomenon. And believe me I love to blame the suits. Take Halo for example. Microsoft has been throwing money at people to make Halo film content for decades. None of it really "takes off," some of it like Halo Legends has a cult following, but that particular work isn't the basis for a series or franchise. The content has varied widely in style and quality so it can't be said that the execs aren't doing their job. They provide the money and greenlight the project and stand back. If they were taking a strong hand and interfering, all the content would be more or less the same, but it's not. What's the problem is the people they hire, especially for the Halo TV series. These are people who paint themselves as professionals, people who take their job seriously. How do they tackle a well-beloved IP like Halo? They announce to everyone that they didn't play the games because "the games don't matter" (paraphrased). Typical Hollywood shitheads who think games are still for kids and that movie is king, even as their industry is surpassed in revenue, with a true house-on-fire this-is-fine attitude. To them, they put themselves through the grinder that is Hollywood. They believe they are "owed" success. So they have no qualms about wearing the skin of a beloved IP in hopes of riding it to success, and then taking all the credit if by some miracle their project does succeed.

  2.  @jackharrow7147  You're really going to compare custom Space Marine chapters to how Hollywood writers typically fuck things up? Could you be any more obtuse? The type of meddling he's referring to would be "actually Space Marine chapters are abolished and all the Space Marines now work together because that is epic look at my epic reimagining of Warhammer 40k you guys!!!!"
