Proper adaptation when?
>>221141412Warehouse 13 has a cute girl but the show sucks
>>221141412Far too surrounded in bullshit and legal landmines
>>221141412In my country nobody knows who this is
>>221141412This show predates the scp foundation.
>>221141587I don't know if legally there's that much risk. Surely somewhere in the terms and conditions you have to agree on to make an account there's some line about how everything you write can be used freely and sold by the site owners. The only thing they had to do was change the pictures of some SCP because they're from third parties who never gave permission (for example the artist who made the statue 173 is based on said it was okay to use his work as long as they didn't profit, so eventually they changed it).The real difficulty is to agree on what the setting actually is. From articles to articles the Foundation can be normal scientists trying to keep their head above water with pretty analog solutions or can be a fully multiversal conglomerate with arguably more magical know-how than the actual anomalies they're tracking. It's like if the MCU had no single "main" universe you could look up for reference.

>>221141412Hopefully never.I personally hate the urge to commercialize community projects. A bunch of anonymous people came together to create SCP as a hobby. For free. No desire for financial compensation.Seeking to turn that into commodity to make money off of is obscene because it's explicitly based on charging money for marketing, writing, and ideas other people created for free. If an IP was created as a free watering hole with no financial incentive, showing up and trying to harness it for your own personal gain is fundamentally sick.I felt the same way about The Backrooms, but at least Kane Pixels actually contributed personally to its vibe and lore, so it's not quite as egregious even if it wasn't really "his" setting. SCP is more egregious because making profit on it almost explicitly entails stealing the fruits of someone else's free creative labor.I genuinely believe that if a setting exists for free in the creative commons, it should fucking stay free in the creative commons.I despise these hagfish parasites who discover these popular ideas and settings out in the wild and then try to fucking absorb and exploit them for their own ends.
>>221141412If you made a feature length full budget SCP film it would be like the Backrooms, ie; terrible. The best way to adapt SCP is as low budget auteur driven short films on the internet.
>>221141595Same with mine apparently and I live in the best country.
The smart move is to just lift concepts for monsters or anomalies or whatever from it and put them in your own story. All the other shit is worthless chaff that can be discarded.
>>221141607The X-Files predates that show you posted.
