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.
I didn't mind the I, Robot move so much, though, because the book itself was really just the memories of that "Robot psychologist" woman, because her life basically spanned a lot of robot "evolution"; basically, a bunch of high-concept short stories about robots held together with the roboshrink as the framing and connecting device a la Heavy Metal and other such anthologies-in-a-nutshell. The movie's story was basically just another story along the line, to me. The question was simply "Can I stand Smith's camera-mugging for that long?"
