How do you feel about taking something from real life and...


... turning it into a cool genre movie or show? It can be a person, event, myth or even a symbol (like a country's flag or shield). This happens more often in the super-hero genre, but not always (like this year's GODS OF EGYPT). I ask because I've read/heard from time to time people saying that it's disrespectful.

Obviously it depends how it's done. But, for example, if you take someone like Abraham Lincoln and make him a vampire hunter, then there's no disrespect going on - it's fantasy.
