I’m sick of modern adaptations across the board. They never even try following the source material and just use it to inject the current year trendy diversity. Live action ones are lazy. Although I did enjoy seeing Disney fall on their face with the little mermaid. Getting a white lady with red hair was such and easy move but nope
There's no point in bothering with "modern adaptions". They don't adapt anything and nothing will beat the source material even if they don't go woke.
True. I am happy just reading the book at this point
I actually have a rule. If they inject diversity casting into anything, live action or otherwise (see black people in Frozen 2) I refuse to spend money on it. Witcher, Game of thrones prequel series lord of the ring Amazon series, how to train your dragon live action movie, etc. as soon as I saw a single black person I decided I would never watch them. Period. I don't hate watch because they still helps them. I don't in the hopes others do too, and those projects lose money and stop being made.
Yea. 10 to 20 years ago when race swaps weren’t so common you could’ve convinced me that it’s ok with good writing like Battlestar Galactica. Now I’m like you. They have gone so far off the deep end that I won’t watch. When I saw the casting for wheel of time and rings of power I was like nope. Denzel Washington is one of my all time favorite actors and even if he was in a race swap I wouldn’t watch now
Obligatory gimme dem rangz foo
Disgusting imagery but funny tune.
HAHAHAHAHA
Worst thing about this is that they did it to Corlys Velaryon. You know, House Velaryon, the one famous for having the pale skin, silver hair and purple eyes of Old Valyria
It drives me crazy seeing the YouTubers that I normally watch defending this change to this day.
I have adopted this as well. No more support for trash.
Yes any mention of racewashing main characters is an instant next for me. If they can't even keep the wokeness subtle, then I know that the whole thing will be insufferable
And I hate when they make the disingenuous claim that “they blew me away in the audition” as if it hasn’t been common knowledge that they get rewarded for pointless diversity
That typically translates to "after instantly rejecting anyone White, this bald black woman is the best of the rest"
