Film adaptations of popular works will always be met with opposition.

There are countless examples of this sort of change in appearance, but which are the worst offenders?

Dinklage is, simply put, too handsome.

Thorin Oakenshield

In J.R.R.

He is younger and without scars, and his beard has been clipped.

Chief among them is the antagonist, Feyd-Rautha.

Split image of Willy Wonka, Renfri, and Norman Bates

In the novels, the PI is described as being immensely tall, well-built, and scarred.

Cruise’s short stature and flawless looks did not seem appropriate for such a character.

In place of the imposing figure is a tremendous cloud of dust and nothing more.

It is easy to understand why fans were upset by this change.

Norman Bates

Anthony Perkins shined as Norman in theAlfred Hitchcockclassic slasher,Psycho.

In Robert Bloch’s source material, Bates is overweight, balding, and a heavy drinker.
