      eaton irwin Like, this is def an age-gated example again, but the difference between Starship Troopers the novel, the context/intent imbued by its author, vs remix into Starship Troopers the film. A great example of how the Author can be removed from their own work b/c they are problematic

          eaton irwin Another good avenue to explore might be how the people paying for a thing can exert pressure to change it, like how WB wouldn't let the character Switch change genders, as in the original script, when they enter vs are outside The Matrix. Though there are plenty of other examples

            eaton irwin Or... on the other side of the equation... how fans can change authors' decisions! Like how Sherlock Homes came back from the dead based on fan response. Or how the Original Star Trek series was renewed by the network b/c of fan letters.
