Nuances of source material will be lost I'm afraid

Luc Besson is not a master of subtlety. Valerian contains references to philosophy, politics, ideological thought and a very dry sense of humour. I fear that all of that is lost on mr Besson and his production company Europa. It will become a space opera with giant plot holes and crass humour. Before Besson starts he should be cross-examined by a committee of experts concerning his ideas and intentions.
Please please Dargaud, keep a tight grip on your crown jewels!

I don't think that Dargaud really cares.
Blueberry sucked because they made a lsd trip worthy of Moebius but not Giraud.
Michel Vaillant sucked, it was just a movie with the title of the comic.
Iznogoud sucked in every possible way.
Lucky Luke (with Dujardin) was a waste of time.
Asterix got worse with every new movie.
Marsupilami was another waste of time.
The Smurfs had nothing to do with the original stories.
So ... why should Dargaud or anyone else care what happens to Valerian?
I expect the worst and hope for the best.
