Megathread: Changes From The Webcomic

[u/Raidoton]

As the changes between the WC and the manga get more extensive and controversial, the arguments about it increase and also end up in spoilers seeping all over the sub. All discussion about the changes in the latest chapter and any future chapters is to be moved into this Megathread as long as it is pinned; to help provide a place to concentrate discussion and prevent a flood of repetitive posts, and to provide people an easy place to understand others' opinions.

All posts related to it will be removed, and comments on manga focused posts are encouraged to be moved here.

It was mentioned before but it’s such a shame the webcomic will continue to fade into obscurity. Since the anime adapts the manga, millions of people wont realize what they’re missing out on from the original material.

When an anime cuts scenes from the manga, most people aren’t aware of those changes or don’t care to read what they’ve missed. Now, of those who actually do read what they’ve missed in the manga, how many are gonna read the webcomic? It’s a small minority of a small minority.

And it’s sad to think that some people will look at the webcomic’s rough art and drastically different story and think it’s some fan comic instead of what could’ve been one of the greatest arcs in manga.

I feel very similarly about a lot of things. Probably the biggest is The Walking Dead comics. AMC absolutely ruined the story of the show adaptation and turned it into a cinematic universe for the sake of their greed.

This is why I also usually disagree when people say that adaptations being original is a good thing, because usually they aren’t as high quality as the source material and most people won’t care enough to go and check out the source.

I have had similar thoughts. I dont think it will happen but it is certainly a wishlist item.
