Throughout the transcript, the speakers emphasize that fans desire respectful and faithful adaptations, rooted in the source material's heroic ideals. For example, they offer suggestions for fans to imagine smarter, more grounded portrayals of iconic characters like James Bond or Luke Skywalker—arguing that current versions often fall into overly emotional, disconnected portrayals.
