They seem so lazy, only thing that gets any attention are spinoffs and remakes.
They are making woke shit anyway, why not at least try new content, the odds of being good increases when they do not blackwash or gender swap characters.
Hey, I've been out of the loop on sci-fi literature for awhile and I'm looking to dive back in. Can you tell me roughly what year Hugo and the rest of them jumped the shark in terms of wokeness? I'd like to use them as a guide for past years, but I want to know when I can safely ignore their opinion on things.
Also, do you have any other resources you would recommend for finding new, good stories and books?
Besides the culture war, having a pre existing successful IP minimizes the risk the the investors. Since a portion of the public is already familiar with the IP, it saves on marketing as it gets free attention and the public is gonna be curious to see how it turned out. The (((money men))) of Hollywood have been taking less and less risks since the turn of the century (even more so after the mortgage crisis).
That's why I believe allowing corporations to "own" and control creative IP the way they do, for excessively long periods of time, is a net cultural negative and gives corporations unearned influence and power in society. It's one of the reasons they can afford to take less risks.
Unfortunately it’s coming to Disney+

Because it isn't about making stuff for them, it is about them taking stuff away from you.
They know they can’t create anything good. Look at the sci stories that win the Hugo awards

My rule of thumb is 2014 and prior is generally safe. Baen books is a good resource for good sci fi

I completely agree. Doubly so if corporation had nothing to do with the creation of an IP. Copyright lasts far, far too long.
They really take laziness to another level in this, Shad caught that they have modern arrows in this.
How much work would it take to make some modern arrows look old? Like three minutes?
