I’d say Westworld and Stranger Things comes to mind because I remember reading in season three the original plan was for that man and woman at the ice cream place to get together but they decided to make her gay for no reason. In a show that’s an homage to the 80s a reformed jock with a nerdy girl is a perfect couple.

Arcane - the first season was pretty woke, not going to lie. however it's still respected all the characters and every motivation made sense. the second season rounded up all the male characters to shove them in a corner of irrelevance, while the female characters started to winge and have emotions that didn't make sense.
Game of Thrones - this one was a slow burn, definitely did not start to turn until after season 4. however the place it landed was nothing but woman stronk, men simp.
Barbarens - this was a Netflix show about Romans versus the northern barbarians, with the default language in Roman Latin. the first season was excellent, and then the second season immediately introduced gay barbarians.
honorable mention goes to Netflix's Masters of the Universe, which couldn't even wait for the second season and instead slipped to woke on the second episode.
SIT DOWN UNCLE I WAS RAPED WHICH MADE ME A BADASS!
Imagine the kind of brain-rot that makes someone think being raped is empowering because it fills you with resentment and victimhood.
Yea, it's the kind of attitude which might develop in the mind of someone who was raped, and is trying to find a way to explain that there was some sort of silver lining.
Society used to get such people help, but now they apparently give them Netflix deals.
GOT started prior to the crazy woke era and season one did a good adaptation of book 1. I am pretty sure girl power played into them having Arya kill the night king and not even having Jon fight him was ridiculous. I think they caved to the whining about the rape scene (even though he was an evil character and it was based on medieval times were a man having his way with a new bride regardless was common) although that wasn’t in the book.
Is Arcane based on a Manga?
Arcane is based on League of Legends, with its schizophrenic and constantly rewritten lore and characters. the show itself was an original story.
Oh ok.
Do you mean Ramsey and Sansa? It was in the book but his bride was a different character who was cut from the show (well, was a background character S1). Plus, it was even worse in the books with the dogs.
In the book they had an imposter they used to pretend to be Sansa. I guess you could say he digitally raped her but it’s been a while since I read it. Ramsay in the book didn’t get killed with the dogs. I guess that comes in book 6 if he ever writes it. Wasn’t exactly like the books but a lot of women complained about it but Ramsey was an evil character
If I remember correctly it's a fake Arya in the books
I was meaning what Ramsay makes her do with his dogs. I thought that was the wedding night, but looking back on the chapter I may have gotten it mixed up and it was just mentioned in passing. Still, in the book he makes Theon 'warm her up'.
Still, annoys me that they gave that role to Sansa. Petyr betroths the object of his lust/affection to someone with Ramsay's reputation is the most (well, one of) boneheaded decisions the show writers came up with.
The German show about Arminius was great first season, then they had a sub saharan woman play a carthaginian who went to gaul to fight romans 150 years after Carthage was annihilated.
Fucking weak. Im still pissed about the drastic change. Accurate historical action/drama ruined by non-historical libshit
I'm just glad we got to see correctly spoken classical Latin on screen for basically the first time. That guy who tells the village to pay more taxes was the perfect portrayal of the snide sneering superiority of Roman diplomacy.
Right as they started ignoring/running out of book material.
You think we will get Winds of Winter?
I've given up hope tbh.
I think he will die and his publisher will find someone to finish them
