I keep betting notifications and emails from them about the show. I know it is something else I need to let go, but it still annoys me how someone can butcher source material like that. I guess since I bought all the books from Amazon they assumed I'd be interested in the show, and if this was early 2000s or prior then yes I would be interested in an adaptation of a book series I enjoyed. If there was ever a nerd court I would put that showrunner on trial. He actually said we want to bring out lgbt content where it is only hinted at as well as the fact that he is a feminist. I would've countered with if the author didn't have much gay stuff in the books maybe it wasn't a priority for him.
I remember I used to get on the WOT subreddit when I was reading the books and had good discussions, then the cast photos came out and I was hoping people would call it out for the obvious "modern day casting", but they didn't and the ones who did say they looked nothing like the book described got the usual attacks.
My parents started watching it and they stopped. My dad will say a show "went gay on him" and stops watching. I used to think he was going overboard but I have pretty much reached that point with anything after 2014 especially with black/female/lgbt stuff since they just keep going on and on about it. I need a trusted recommendation or the one person I'll give a pass to is Denzel since he is one of my all time favorite actors.
Anyway, I really hope Wheel of Time gets cancelled. I would also love to see people refuse to sell the rights of a book/book series to these mega corporations. I fear that what they did to WOT is only child's play compared to what Netflix will do to the Narnia series. Thank goodness they lost the rights to Conan.
Exactly. I figured that’s how they would do Conan. Surround him with much more capable women. I watch a lot of old tv shows and one of my all time favorites is Leave it to Beaver. A male character like Ward Cleaver would never make it today
Have you seen the coverage of Ahsoka? Main character? Female. Her apprentice? Female. Their good buddy, the republic general? Female. Main bad guy? White dude. His probably soon to be redeemed apprentice? Female. It’s comical at this point.
If they hired Sebastian Stan to play Luke in a series that focused entirely on Luke, without flooding the show with unnecessary girl bosses who undermine him at every turn, they would be printing money right now. It’s what everyone wants and it would be easy to do. They aren’t doing it because money isn’t the goal. They are operating under ideological possession.
I’m a huge pre-Disney Star Wars fan and loved the EU. For all their talk of strong females they already had Mara Jade or Jaina they could’ve used. Plus I enjoyed reading about Luke reforming the Jedi Order. They just had to make him a failure.
The people that corrupt these things never actually have real interest in or knowledge of them, they just see it as another vector for their illness.
At this point the best scenario is for Disney stock to crash hard enough that George Lucas can buy back the franchise for tree-fiddy and an expired Burger King coupon.
Hollywood only makes one movie or TV show. It’s about a strong, powerful, perfect woman who does everything better than all the men. They just take this one story and have it wear all the actually popular entertainment properties like a skinsuit in order to sell it to the masses.
Leftists, wearing legitimacy like a skinsuit since 1848.
