Hi! I have been looking forward to your scholarly review of Hound. Your insights are invaluable because you have studied Irish mythology and it's rare to see someone like you. Do you have any favorite adaptation of any mythology, not just Irish mythology?
I really enjoy the original "Clash of the Titans", it's kind of an epic filmmaking style that we don't see anymore that is also faithful to the source material in addition to having great effects and acting.
Yes, I get what you are saying. It’s kind of like when they a movie out of a novel and completely leave out parts of it or change the way in which things happen. Very unsatisfying!
I get the distinct impression you are not happy with the way Bolger adapts the original version of the saga, making too many deviations from the original, and seriously altering the the flow of the Gaelic version of the saga. I know it is an adaptation, but some of the changes and subtractions from the original you mention would undoubtedly have made the graphic novel much more admirable.
At the end of the day I'm happy to accept the changes that an artist made to suit his vision, some of the alterations just didn't sit 100% right with me from a scholarly perspective even if it makes sense when taking the adaptation at face value. I'm just very passionate about the details when it comes to adaptations of Celtic legend.
