eg, look at shadow and bone/grishaverse. the book descriptions are wildly different for some of the characters that were cast in the series. don't get me started on the racism aspect when the shows wrote for inclusivity of cast and the books have a very different aesthetic that doesn't line up, so it'd be kind of a dick move to call someone a racist if they went with a book fitting pb for the main char instead of the poc visual cast.
