The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It's making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

Ender's Game was bad because they changed the overall internal conflict from one of horror at making the 'necessary' decisions to a 'yay we beat the bugs' ending of generic sci fi. Yeah, internal dialogue is hard to adapt, but when the core part of the book is changed it should be an interesting contrast like in Starship Troopers.
