my comment
excellent video, I concur, judgement of faithful comparison is used negative. Yes, religion is the problem, the thing read again isn't sacre sanct. To your point, the echo chamber structure of the modern world wide web, and how people collaborate in the echo chambers, makes the solitary read more enjoyable to those who desire an echo chamber more than the collective art construct of films where varied voices one does not want get a say. Where would King Arthur rule if not for adaptation?


IN AMENDMENT
I always try to see what a fellow artist is trying to do. Even in movies I dislike the most,  like cw fields birth of a nation, which is an adaption, i see what fields wanted to achieve. And although I don't like the book either, I comprehend the author's arguments or points as an artist should to any other artist work. If anything my negative issue isn't adaptations but forced reboots. Never continuing a story, always rebooting is tiresome for me. I think stories can be changed or repaired in their storytelling quality through continuing the story.... I have given myself time to think and when I think on Songs of the South from disney, which is an adaption of uncle remus tales from chandler which itself is an adaption from spoken folk tales from black people. I don't care for the variation of the stories, or the uncle remus character but the movie wasn't created to be enjoyed black people. The film was designed to get white kids to enjoy and comfort white parents. It wasn't meant for nonwhites who at that time didn't have the fiscal potency of today. ala Disney making Black panther in modern times. 
ANOTHER COMMENT
@marocat4749  I think for some making howl not an "ugly duckling " hurt. many enjoy  that in the books aside of the hatter women's more strong willed natures as a group. It is only teased in the film. But I enjoyed the books+ the film. I like what they did with the witch of the waste in the film.Miyazaki to his defense doesn't like the all bad or all good characters... and lastly, while the castle is a smoke stack in the book, i enjoy the flying frog in the film
