Show Notes
What if the American Dream came true? The iconic graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons explores this question, among others as challenging, but does Zack Snyder's film handle the subject just as well? In episode 111, Luke & James explore the polarizing adaptation in an attempt to weigh the good against the bad, all while exploring the concept at the heart of the podcast: What makes for a great adaptation?
Topics: the way familiarity with the comics changes the viewing experience, the problem of overly faithful adaptations, misinterpretations of the main points of the story, special effects wizardry, a reference to another Ink to Film project, and an explanation of the Bubastis Problem.
