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.
It certainly wouldn't be appropriate for a savannah ape, but species more used to a subterranean lifestyle would probably like it just fine.
What got me was the utter hubris (the same shown in Clarke's Childhood's End) - Humans don't need the Earth any more, so fuck it and everything else that still needs to call it home.
