Crikey! That's a material change.

Really, what's the point? If something has to be altered that drastically to make it acceptable, shouldn't they just move on? We didn't need the Amazon Prime Video take on a minor classic. Are they that short of source material?

It's like Beaver and The Three Musketeers.
