Now whenever I see an ad for a new show I buy the book due to the times we live in. I know Foundation is being done by Apple but forgive me for believing this will be like every modern day reboot. I saw a recent interview with the show runner and he said he wanted to make it for a “modern audience” which is a red flag as well as gender and race swapping. He said he checked with the Asimov estate. Too bad they all aren’t like Christopher Tolkien.
I don’t understand why they don’t just adapt the woke garbage that has won Hugo’s/Nebulas the last few years. I find it pretty ironic to hear the constant bashing of dead white male authors but they have no problem making money off their work.
And I know Wheel of Time is coming. I’m sure the critics will clap like seals about it but that showrunner has shown that he knows jack about the story.
If I remember correctly, in some woke academic paper they spell out the intention that they don't want people to be enjoy any sort of escapism or entertainment that might distract them from "The Struggle".
Everything must be about their cultural revolution. You will not be able to read a book, watch a TV show, enjoy some sport, buy bread and milk at the convenience store, or deal with the bank, without constantly being reminded of The Struggle.
You can add to that the petty malevolent intention to bring about the "End of History" by changing everything from the past until it's unrecognisable.
As we used to say on KiA back on Reddit, "they hate you, they hate everything you like, and they want you dead".
Yea I do notice how the woke mafia gets upset if someone expresses a desire to just read a story and not be beat over the head with current year politics
They actually made a word for that, they call it "praxis".
Nah, the evil guy from Jak 2
Now that's an older reference.
