Now that I think of it, Lord of the Rings was a fairly enjoyable adaptation for me as well (especially director's cut editions). Some book fans disliked how things were changed but they worked quite well considering it were movies, not books. That's kind of the whole point of adaptations.

I think the problem with HP movies was mostly the reduced screen time for many important side characters like Order of the Phoenix members (for example Tonks, who had about fifteen minutes of total screentime, and there was only one second of her and Lupin's romance and one random mention of their kid). They should have made the fifth and sixth movies two-parters, after all, it's the universe people like to return to again and again.

Well, Heavy Rain was more or less made of QTEs just like other games by Quantic Dream, or Telltale Games' titles - they are more like interactive movies and less like games. Out of such games I liked was The Wolf Among Us (I'm probably among the few who prefers it over The Walking Dead, because I'm not a fan of the zombie survival/human drama subgenre). What I meant was cases when action/FPS games include QTEs out of nowhere, for no good reason, especially with mashing - I'm actually afraid of breaking my keyboard sometimes.

And yeah, don't get me started on how great FMA was. I really miss it, and there's no manga to replace it. Some of them might have great this or great that, but FMA had great everything.

The ninja/Nazis thing is a tad more complex than that, and it mostly concerns just Fu. Occult Nazis are recurring enemies in my crossover fanfic multiverse, and they've done a lot of things including experimenting on Fu's ancestors... Which didn't really reflect on him but caused other things to happen. And it's the same multiverse in which Ran is associated with Lovecraftian lore and hooks up with an alien chick. So it's weird all over.
