I didn't say that.

I said

"I brought up LoEG not as an example of quality but as an example of what you can expect to see if the original novel were made into a movie by a Hollywood studio.

The reasoning behind adding Tom Sawyer to this movie was because 'American audiences wouldn't connect to the British characters'.

The same applies to WotW.

If done by an American studio, and set in the 19th Century, don't expect a faitful adaptation, expect something with an American lead. "
