The Broadway / Film Adaptation meme is a popular comparison format that satirizes the often-disappointing transitions of stories from one medium to another. Closely related to the 'Netflix Adaptation' meme, it usually features three panels representing the original manga, the anime adaptation, and finally, a hilariously mismatched live-action or Broadway version. The trend took off as a way for internet users to express skepticism toward big-budget remakes that fail to capture the original's charm. Today, it is used to mock anything that feels like a budget-restricted or overly dramatic version of a superior original, serving as a staple for fandoms across the globe.
