Really fascinating to see where it differs from the movie! Definitely felt sort of darker and sadder. I liked how this continuity's Ballister embraced villainy more explicitly, though I do think the movie making him more of a woobie was a good choice for the screen. The way he loses his arm and how it affects his relationship with Goldenloin was also darker and kind of more complicated, which I liked. Super fun to pick out the details which were offhand mentions in the graphic novel that became cornerstones of the film adaptation.
