There is no way you can be 100% true to a book or a comic when making a movie on it. There is just no way, and I understand that.

But what if Jackson had decided to make Aragorn a staff wielding Wizard instead of a Sword swinging Ranger in LOTR?

Or what if Iginla was portrayed in a movie as a defensive defenseman that chips in the occasional goal?

That is the best analogy I can give..

You don't have to nail it right on, but when you drastically butcher the fundamental characteristics of your main character.. you lose a lot of credibility.

I don't really want to get into this debate, because movies are always interpreted differently by different people. But this is how I feel, it was meant as a casual comment originally I wasn't trying to spark this..
