There was a time where a director who adapts a video game and refuses to research the game or gamers would surprise me. Now I expect it. Look at Wheel of Time or a lot of modern shows for crappy showrunners
Makes you yearn for the old days when someone like Nicholas Meyer would sit down and watch every episode of Star Trek before he directed Wrath of Khan.
Exactly! Seems like common sense. If I wasn’t familiar with Babylon 5 and got a job working on a sequel I would take some time and just binge everything I could related to it
Oh god, don't even go there. "The Narn were ENSLAVED by the Centauri? We need to get all black actors (inexplicably, mostly British) to play them!" "These shadows represent chaos? So they're the good ones, right? ANARCHY RULES! Especially if it's socialist." "Yes, I get that they're fighting for the survival of their species ... but what about the LGBT people?"
There’s no way that an ethnic Russian character would exist as a good
guywoman in 2023.Ha!!! I know they would ruin it. And if you point out the show did have black characters that wouldn’t be enough. But I’m so tired of this cycle where corporations show zero respect for what they are adapting and then attack fans when it is unpopular
Babylon 5 already did have some of the B in LGBT with Ivanova's crush on Talia.
It seems to weird to hire people for the task of adapting something who have such disdain for the material. Yet it keeps happening.
I know. I used to be surprised til I realized for whatever reason it was on purpose
Because it's not adaptation, it's subversion using the brand as a cloak.
