The strange thing is there isn't that same stigma about books even
though there are lots of books which are complete trash. You get the
same thing with watching 'too much' TV but being a bookworm is
considered a positive.

Apparently, you've never heard of "head canon." It's impossible *not* to
stimulate some imaginations.

Far from it, that's exactly the point.

It's the main criticism of many people when their favorite book/series
is turned into movie(s)/TV series, that the cast does not look like they
imagined them to look when they read the book(s).


When the movie or TV is the original, you don't run into that, you are
presented with a fait accompli of the casting director/script
writer/producer/directors idea of what they should look like.

Some people might want to mentally re-cast the show to suit their own
preferences, but most just accept what they're given (unless an
actor/actress is terrible at acting and practically forces them to
imagine someone competent in the role.)
