Checked all the usual shill sites and it has been cancelled. I say good. The tone of the sites was about how they are leaving fantasy fans high and dry and insisted that the 3rd season was getting good. Some comments from show fans attacked book fans for being critical of the show by using the stupid "the books are the books and the show is the show" argument.
They act like we don't understand that some changes need to be made when adapting a story from book to tv/movie. This showrunner made zero attempt to respect the source material that already had plenty of female empowerment to go with.
Maybe I'm petty but when they announced the cast of the show I knew it wouldn't be good. I guess the one benefit of race and gender swapping is that is shows the priorities of the people in charge.
It fucking infuriates me man. I'm preaching to the choir in this sub so I won't go over why, we all know they hate us, but they can't have white culture existing or any acknowledgement that whites lives together pre diversity. I honestly think it's more about demoralization than anything else, they don't care about adapting other people's cultures, they want to destroy ours.
It's fucking crazy to see the shift around 2016 or so, LOTR, Harry Potter, GOT were all made at the perfect time in history before this BS. It's funny how all three have had modern remakes/sequels etc and just all of a sudden have a bunch of blacks tossed in. Funny how it's almost never Asians, Indians, Arabs, etc, it's always fucking blacks.
Harry Potter books had black and Asian students but it was a good representation of England so it was 95% white. Honestly I have a general rule of thumb not to read or watch anything made after 2014 without a trusted recommendation.
100%, I didn't grow up in a complete 100% ethno state and when it's appropriate I don't mind non white characters. Growing up I never would have thought about or saw anything wrong with it because most stuff was genuine and wasn't trying to rub your face in it and the stuff that was subversive was very subtle and/or was actually genuine. HP feels like a British story because the main characters, most of the secondary ones and the general heart of the story are British, so the handful of black, indian and asian students feel completely natural and nonforced for that time period. Legacy however was awful for that unfortunately and the new show will be as well.
That's a good rule of thumb, that is really when it went off the rails.
Exactly and having racially diverse characters when it doesn’t even make sense. I won’t even start on period pieces.
Tubi/pluto/Freevee are great sources for older content by the way
