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.
That's a perfect example of how long they've been playing their game. I remember that mess when I was in school in the 90s, it was all about how it's against freedom of speech to even mention the existence of religion in schools. Generally applied to mean anything is okay except Christianity put in a positive light. Their whole spiel about how it makes people uncomfortable who don't share that religion, etc. It's the same old refrain they use today for trannies and the like, I just never bothered to notice.
Freedom of speech for them has for decades been instead freedom from other's speech they don't like.
This is the craziest thing. I remember bashing Christians as a teen in the 90s, laughing at their "slippery slope" arguments.
And God dammit, they were right! The insane asshole ranting about the commies in his garage was right all along.
