No. I think the kindest thing would be to put the movie franchise out of its misery/let it die. They won't "always be the books regardless of how different they are." The books are the books and the movies the movies. They're different, and the movies are a disgrace to a wonderful book series.
I agree with Matthew. Let it die.
If they make the third one into a movie, I'm going to throw a bitch fit. The first and second movies were bad enough.

If you look close enough they actually did stay fairly true to the main overall plot of the book in both movies . I mean in LT the only real major differences were the age and the replacement of the chimera with the hydra. In SoM a lot of what they left out like the stuff with blackboard, etc would have been too ridiculous and expensive to to put on screen. While they could be better they were actually very true to the core essence of the books of a young man growing up and dealign with hidden greek mythology and going on pretty much the same quests as the books. Them being older does not change the poignancy or character envelopment as we all need that same level of development no matter the age.
I would like to apologize for making my justifications seem rash. I understand how much this series means to you guys. I do love this series too, despite disagreeing with what the majority thinks of it.I do perfectly well understand how it feels to have “the things that we like about the series” taken out, especially when some people disagree with you on it. I see a lot of potential in the movies; ways in which they can also satisfy you book fans. They could do so many creative things with the series which is what an adaptation from its original source is all about. While the movies’ ideas so far have been a bit weak, they have the potential, if you believe in them, to bring something new to the series which can make it even better than it was before by introducing new concepts and ideas, kinda like how the Harry Potter movies and their video games added on a lot of new ideas that made me like that series overall more than I ever could, when I already loved it to pieces. To quote a fan concerning the upcoming Shadowhunters (Mortal Instruments) tv show:
“Wow I had no idea how awesome! considering they didn't follow through with the second movie I'm really glad not that the show could do the book justice but it spreads the shadow world”
I think the movies completely butchered the books and I could barely sit there and watch them. I'm sure they were enjoyable to those who did not read the books.

Pj, what you don't realize is that probably 90% of the fans don't want another movie made. Even if you enjoyed the movies, nearly the entire fanbase didn't.
I saw the last half of the first one, and none of the second. But of what I've seen...Naw, I don't think we need another movie.
#LET IT DIE #IT NEVER DESERVED TO LIVE #DROP IT IN A DEEP DARK HOLE #SCRATCH THAT #DROP IT INTO TARTARUS
I've watched only the first one, and I didin't like it.So I think that we don't need an other movie.
second one is a lot more like the book, besides how many times have you seen it? i often find that if you give a movie a second chance you may form a different opinion

Please retweet and help support the cause for more movies i this series. Even if you do not care think of those that do. The books will STILL ALWAYS be the books regardless of how different they are.
