Hey, this guy wrote a super popular series of books that have sold a bazillion copies.

We should buy the tv rights to all those books!

Yeah... and then throw out the books, hire no-name hack screen writers and get them to make up stupid shit!

Fuck yeah!

No, they don't "have to", they're just talentless hacks wholly unsuited for the task.

People want to believe Hollywood is some kinda meritocracy where actually talented artists are promoted and given the best projects but that simply isn't the case.
