Led by Lisa Kudrow. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
Could this be any more shit?
It could have had two elderly female leads, like the Borderlands movie, so yes!
It's like they didn't even watch the original. This just looks like every other brand media from the last 6 years.
Surprisingly enough, I haven't seen the original, but this does look particularly odious, especially given that it's an Apple show.
Who can forget the DEI monstrosity that was 'Foundation'.
Watch the original and everything else Terry Gilliam directed in the 80s and 90s.
Oh, this is a remake? I guess even more surprised. I need to dig into 80s stuff more, I’ve paid almost zero attention to that era of TV.
I watched it, and I still rewatch it every once in a big while. Even got my college roommates excited to watch it when I summarized it as a story about a band of time traveling midgets and a British kid.
I guess big media ran out of popular IP's to destroy and are now going after the less popular IP's.
I got outwardly pissed when girlboss argued against base 10 mathematics because its colonialism. It felt like I was reading a paper by the "math is racist" marxists.
It's that bad?
Yup.
DEI > fan engagement
They could take every DEI out and make it appear flawlessly historically accurate, and it would still look like shit. There’s zero writing ability anymore. I can go back and watch TV that predates my birth by nearly 30 years and get the comedy. This modern crap, if you don’t follow the trend of the week, good luck, and it’s still not funny if you do understand the reference.
That Jeff Bezos joke was so bad.
"We have no idea who that is." - Explaining the joke to the retarded audience
Something like Back to the Future made total logical sense, here we are in a place we don't belong, and things might go horribly wrong if we don't try to fit in.
In 2024 though, "hur durr Jeff Bezos." They should have ended up burned at a stake.
Thanks to Shorty Peter Dink Dinklage he's made it infinitely harder for others of The Dwarf persuasion to get work.
Haven’t seen the original. I’ll take the advice from The Critic and do that. Looks like what you would expect from current year remake
The original is a time traveling Odyssey meets Snow White for boys. High T adventure. Instead of romance, there's dungeons and wars. It's dated looking (UK gloom) but holds up as fun.
Sounds good. What did they change for the remake?
Everything good
If only they suffered the same consequences for touching the evil in real life.......
