That's what adaptations do. No book to film adaptation is ever going to include all of the subplots. People have complained about this from Lord of the Rings, to Watchmen, and soon Dark Tower. Also, tons of drama movies that are based off Dennis Lehane or John Grisham novels are always met with "the book was better" criticisms. I don't know why people still expect movies to match the book.
I know you suggested a TV series, but realistically that wasn't going to happen. So basically it comes down to being for or against adaptations in general, I think.
I'm good with it.
Mainly I don't care because I just want it to be a good movie that matches the same spirit, and if I want more detail I can read the book.
