There’s also a fair few English teachers tuning in, and joking about how they’ll probably have to correct student’s papers for years to come for all the things featured in the adaptation that aren’t in the source material.
It appears that, while this story is an adaptation, it does take a few creative liberties.
One of which being a deviation from Dickens’ dialogue, which have ruffled quite a few feathers.
There’s definitely no shortage of haters, and purists who hopped online just to let others know they prefer Michael Caine’s Scrooge to that of Guy Pearce.
