I saw the news about how the people in charge of the Halo show admitting to never playing the game, and of course on the usual sites anyone who feels an adaption should follow the source material as much as possible or respect the lore were called the usual names. I get that it seems that all these companies care about is "the message" but for the life of me I don't get why they don't just save themselves money and make their own woke garbage or adapt the books that win the Hugo/Nebula awards since the only requirement is to screech about the patriarchy or about how evil white men are. They shell out so much money for these IPs only to butcher them (Wheel of Time is on of the most recent). I would tell these companies to stop hiring activists, but that would be too difficult for them.
I can remember thinking of all the comic book characters or sci-fi/fantasy stories I used to think would be great on screen but now I hope they don't touch those characters because they will have to "update them for modern audiences". I also love murder mystery and there was a time when I would've loved to have seen the private eye genre make a comeback but not anymore.
Thank goodness for books. I remember when I first heard Amazon was doing Wheel of Time, I got the whole series and read it because I figured they wouldn't do it justice.
Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made. J. R. R. Tolkien
"Зло не способно сотворить ничего нового, оно может лишь искажать и разрушать то, что было изобретено или создано силами добра" — Дж. Р. Р. Толкин
Great quote. It just always struck me as odd how they bash older stories for being written by white men but have no problem using them
It's not odd at all.
They hate white people, and want us all dead. Especially white men. They want to destroy everything about the west, and a lot of that is changing what exists and corrupting it, and breaking people into CONSOOOOOOMing
They're evil.
This is your red pill.
Furthermore to that, they want that, or us fighting a losing war against all the lgbt trannies, every minority, and ourselves. Whilst any free thinkers also get locked out of society via the mark of fauci.
I love how he showed that in the Silmarilion.
Zło nie jest w stanie stworzyć niczego nowego, może jedynie zniekształcać i niszczyć to, co zostało wymyślone lub stworzone przez siły dobra
They want to wear the skin suit of beloved existing properties and use them to push their political ideology against all the people they hate: which means anyone to the right of Marx.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Don't assume good faith from these scumbags as they are not capable of jt.
Yep. I finally stopped falling for it. I never thought I would stop reading marvel and DC (except back issues) but like you said they only care about pushing their garbage.
Disney and Warner were both caught censoring old media to make sure it complies with regressive leftist pc culture, at this point I would look into safe sources for piracy and hardened linux distros for good measure.
Or getting physical media if you have the space for it. I recently found Blazing Saddles at a yard sale on dvd for a dollar.
You need to understand that they are intentionally destroying our culture and symbols. This is working as intended. Under Communism, there can't be beloved symbols, culture, and nostalgia for the "old" because that might otherwise inspire and unite people. This is why Atticus Finch and Dr. Seuss are now racists, why Luke Skywalker and James Bond and other white male heroes had to be killed off, why they are hellbent on removing statues, and so on. Everything must be destroyed, and they don't care how much money they lose doing it.
The reason they use pre-existing properties is to destroy them. They do this to demoralize and humiliate you.
Is 40k getting infiltrated? Sorry to hear that. I have only seen a little about it but they have passionate fans.
Female Space marines is the wedge issue.
Games Workshop defended BLM durring the 2020 regressive leftist riots and indirectly announced plans to blacklist the enemies of the regressive left from their forums/services and offical events in the same post.
"Warhammer is for everyone"™
a PSA that ended with "If not, you will not be missed."
When identity takes over story everyone loses.
Seems like a pretty easy thing to grasp. There are so many times I’ve called out the obsession with diversity
Conserving the past is the opposite of the progressive future, so, yeah, obviously anyone who wants to cling to anything that made a fantasy world compellingly interesting is opposed to progressivism.
"An adaptation doesn't have to follow the source material"
"Ok so it's cool if Ryan Gosling plays Black Panther?"
"NOOOOO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
I’ve done some short story writing before and I have an idea for something like the producers where a director hires a white woman to play Shaka Zulu in a miniseries
It's the ultimate guy on drugs paying for stuff. The producer who knows the show is noir horror but demands everything be in color and bright. He makes insane comments, which people have to follow, then leaves for more blow. Now it's just a woman doing it as well.
"Respecting the source material" will be added to CRT right alongside "objectivity."
My favorite narrative from Halo was ODST. But I was also a massive sucker for Republic Commando so I just kind of like those sort of narratives (and jazz. Jazz is cool).
Of course we aren't getting an ODST style narrative either; it's going to be some chick angsting and looking sadly off to the side of camera while sad music plays for half the runtime if the trailer is anything to go by.
It's a shame there isn't more Republic Commando, and ODST was definitely a bit reminiscent of it. There's a real draw to that type of camaraderie of fighting aliens as super soldier space marines that I really like.
