So then wouldn't playing the car crash/controlling the boxer be better than both by your logic? You have both the visuals and the hands on control in that situation.
Is Reading Overrated?

- Start date
Video games?
If so I would be creating the story, I'm now the storyteller instead of the the spectator. Apples and oranges.

MEH!
I agree it would be better to live/see something in real life. But tv ain't real life.
not always
A few things I want to point out
-Goldie, you like the show but the creators and writers all read the books. Without them, there is no show. So you liking the show is a byproduct of them doing all the heavy lifting by reading the book. Why do you think some of the actors picked to play the characters came to be? Or the demeanor of the characters? The author described them as such. Ofc with TV, you have to be able to take those words and make them captivating to an audience. Same with comics
-while reading can be beneficial, it can be detrimental af because too often people just read shit that further supports whatever position they want to take on a subject then say some of the things you are labeling as pretentious. "Well Dr so and so said in their book xyz", completely disregarding and possible agenda there may be. It can be an echo chamber for the weak and easily influenced
Just last month, tariq nasheed was telling people that a Black man created the Russian language which was false on so many levels. But but, he read something that told him that and without doing his proper research, he spread that message to the many followers he has and they just took the shit at face value

The story had to make it to paper first, ie a script. That doesn't mean it's better fam.

The only downside wit reading a book that turns into a movie...is the fact that everyone has this preconceived notion in their head of what a character looks like. But when the movie drops and the character isn't what THEY imagined them to be...they get in an uproar and shyt on the movie.
Perfect example...when Hunger Games dropped and Rue was casted as a black girl. My goodness the "outrage" (mostly wypipo) that followed when the movie came out. Smh. Never read the book, but did they describe the race of her character?

Nah, most video games have a linear story. GoW still gonna Kratos merking gods no matter how you choose to play.
Reading will never be my first option but I cannot lie a good book is bomb! I have a big imagination which to me makes the book so great.

Thats my favourite movie as well and I read the book afterwards... didnt have an issue with it particularly... Book just added another layer that wasn't there before and expanded on what I had already seen in the film.. more detail etc.
Not sure how my opinion would be if I read the book first and saw the film after though...
What'd you hate about that shit?
cuz it's easier.
people are lazy...
people don't want to use their imagination, they want the movie to do it for them.
like look at umbrella academy...people had mad questions, and when i told them to look up the source material, they act like that was too much work..
where as i couldn't wait to look it up...
comic books movies and tv shows, tell me people to look up the issue, it's too much work.. people are very lazy and time sensitive.. they don't wanna waste their time on stuff they requires concentration.....
some people only do books on tape so they can listen while driving....
Yall got me there.
Quick question:
Would u rather watch a boxing match or read about it?
