Salander, Vigilante

Some one-off characters are potential series characters, e.g., Frederick Forsyth's Avenger. That is what happens to Lisbeth Salander in the film, not the novel, The Girl in the Spiders' Web. In this version, she regularly attacks men who have abused women and raids their bank accounts for the benefit of the abused women.

Whereas the Swedish TV dramatizations of Stieg Larsson's Millennium novels are recognizable adaptations of Larsson's texts, the Spider's Web film is simply different from the novel after which it is named and should have been given a different title.

As such, it is an interesting adaptation of the original characters.
