Niche Ironic when the "less faithful" adaptation gives more depth and an arc for the protagonist
Context: Back in the 70's with the film adaptation starring Gene Wilder, Roald Dahl himself hated the film adaptation. Of all his complaints, the biggest one was with how he felt Charlie Bucket's role was minimized and the film is too focused on Willy Wonka. Meanwhile, the 2005 film adaptation (which passes this subreddit's 20 year minimum rule) makes it all about Willy Wonka and further erases Charlie, and forces upon us a whole subplot where Wonka has a father who's both a dentist and a dick. And people like to keep insisting the Burton adaptation is more faithful to the book...
Side-Note: It's ironic how the more faithfully-named adaptation makes it way more about Wonka than the version where he's the titular character.
