When you have an idea for a movie or a tv show and you absolutely love that idea, to what extent should you compromise to create it in the industry? Most famous filmmakers suggest that you should always be loyal to your original idea, on the other hand there is the matter of keeping it interesting for the audience. Where exactly should the line be drawn? Should you stick to your idea even if many people won't like it? or should you compromise everything ( even deviating from your original idea) to make it look appealing for the audience?
This is frankly a really hard, controversial question. Every day new aspects of the audience's taste get revealed to filmmakers. Subjects that seemed completely out of line or boring 20 years ago, are now used as the basic standards of an interesting movie.
The history of cinema has shown that we can't for sure know what the audience wants. Every standard you name, there is a completely different movie out there with reverse standards which is appealing to the audience. It's like there is no definitive answer to what the audience wants exactly.
So with all these in mind, to what extent should filmmakers compromise in order to make their movie or Tv show happen?
