Just saw this news today. I love the show and have those books on my list to read. It is funny because as a kid my grandmother loved this show and I thought it was sappy but now I happily watch and there are always some episodes on my DVR.
I'm assuming it will be the usual Netflix butchering of source material with the "white people bad" narrative.
I would guess they will do to Little House what they did to Anne of Green Gables. My sister was a big fan of those books and that Disney series in the 80s and she told me she tried to watch the Netflix adaptation but it was full of the usual current year crap and the showrunner actually said the book didn't have enough diversity so she felt the need to add racial, feminist, lgbt stuff.
I guess this adaptation will be like all the other current year period pieces.
Repeat after me: There is only the Michael Landon produced version, there is no other.
Netflix is gonna fuck it up, because the people who work in Netflix are incapable of doing anything else.
I heard that Landon had the original sets destroyed so that there would be no chance of the networks raping it after it ended.
He was decades ahead of us.
No physical copy tho?
No, they literally blew up the set where they filmed the series in it's entirety.
Oh, wow. In a way, kind of brutal.
Also, I managed to confuse "sets" for film reels/tapes. Send help.
Kubrick would do the same, and glad he did. The only works rapists can molest are the unprotected ones.
I thought that too but apparently the books are public domain I think. Sucks because they are totally going to twist everything Laura Ingalls Wilder meant
They are trying to rely on the nostalgic fondness for the old show, and will do what they always do: gut it, wear it like a skin suit, and demand you appreciate it.
Until the woke people are fired from Hollywood, and new, uncontaminated writers and what not are brought in, the product produced by present day staff will always be shit, because the people making it are shit.
Will Netflix make the countryside look like the Village in Resident Evil 4?
No, Resident Evil 5.
My favorite Resident Evil.
Laura will be fat & trans. Charles will be black and gay with Isaiah who will be native & 2spirit. Caroline with be an autistic sex-positive feminist who hates America and calls it oppressive.
The villain will look right at the camera and say "Make ___ Great Again"
Little Whorehouse on the Prairie
"They some hoes in 'dis house! They some hoes in 'dis house! They some hoes in 'dis house!"
Want to bet they'll make the mom White and the dad black? More anti-White propaganda.
They'll make Ma and Pa White, and Laura a nigger. Even odds on whether she'll be a slave, or if Ma cheated, but either way, Ma and Pa will both be the evil nemeses of the heroic lesbian nigger, Laura Mbanta Ingalls, who will eventually kill them using her superior Asian martial arts skills that she figured out on her own through sheer girlbossery.
Since they don’t care about making it for the time period you could be right
The showrunner and executive producer is another Pedowood yenta. It's practically certain.
oh no
Goodnight, John Boy...
That was the Waltons, but I like the energy
Haha, well shit. I watched a lot of syndicated TV shows as a kid because I didn't have cable or a video game console and I have trouble remembering what was what.
The memes are going to be glorious.
It's one of the last wholesome shows we had, so naturally it absolutely has to defiled.
They can't help themselves. It's like any sort of beauty, goodness and purity drives them insane with rage.
I expect something like this.
They will probably do the usual bait and switch where they don’t do anything crazy the first season
Awwwwww sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....
Almanzo is gonna be a nigger. As will several other characters, but only one will show up in the first season (Mr. Edwards, maybe?)
The show had a few black characters but the town was like 99% white which was very accurate for the time. I seriously doubt they will try to make it look authentic to the time. Period pieces today look like downtown L.A.
I'm just hoping and praying that this trend dies out before they get around to ruining Redwall but time will tell.
I'd ask why they don't just make their own series instead of cramming all the usual cliches into something that already exists.
Then I remembered that's how we got Concord.
True, but at least Concord is original and shows just how insane these people are
Any details on showrunner or creator? Maybe it will be a rare conservative backing it. Or they will make the family black and half of them homos
Do you really need to know anything more? Did hear about how obnoxiously anti-Trump the last season of "The Boys" got?
Also, this is Netflix -- they have a tendency of reeling in the first season to hook the ignorant normies who refuse to learn their lessons.
The first season may have shades of wokeness -- nothing too overt. A bunch of the typical "moderates" will praise it and try to convince others to support it, and say those who don't are "right wing cancel culture wokists".
As usual, Netflix will gleefully drop the second season full of miscegenation, anti-white feminist propaganda, and faggotry, as is usual for them.
No details but I have as much faith in it as I do that the Netflix Narnia adaptation will have kids wanting to read their bibles.
