yeah, but really it's only shifted over the years. Used to be they'd only use certain Actors/Actresses cause they knew people would go see them, or just specific writers or Directors. I personally have no issues with adaptations, and yesh, they want to make money, but that's kinda the point in a capitalist market. You don't want to drop millions on a movie(Airbender) and not make that back.

To the same extent I agree, I wish they would take a few more risks on unquie storylines, but it's hard to walk that fine line between original and reworked.
