Now I pretty much watch the SYFY channel for Futurama reruns or the New Year Twilight Zone marathon (although I’m sure they will deem that problematic soon). I used to love that channel but now they have given in to the usual diversity/sjw nonsense. I stopped looking at their website when the review of Brightburn was a rant against white males and Wheel of Time was sexist because multiple women were in love with the protagonist.
I saw a show being advertised about Leia and the summary mentioned women and “non-binary” fans of Star Wars discussing representation. I honestly think that if everything you watch has to represent you then you have deeper issues. I’m a black guy who will be 40 soon and When I was younger I read lots of golden age sci fi and loved it for the stories. I cared more about entertainment/good stories. A simple reading of history will show you that men and women of all races are capable of greatness so I don’t need to see a black person being a scientist to know that I can be one or attempt to be one.
I love Superman and Spider-Man because they are awesome. Loved John Stewart green lantern because I am a huge green lantern fan.
Why do the usual suspects get so angry when you question if they are really a fan. Like in gaming I’d ask these women who constantly whine why not make a game they like or find one they relate to instead of ruining games for devoted fans. Not just women. Plenty of men in the industries that seem to get hired for diversity points and not talent.
I’ll never understand this. It still cracks me up when I hear the term gatekeeping thrown around. Sounds logical to me that someone who hates the material and wants to change it shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near it.
I remember as a kid I was so excited about Sci Fi channel and remember watching old school sci fi stuff and even liked their stuff like Tin Man. You are right they had a great model when they appealed to sci fi/fantasy fans.
I still need to watch Babylon 5. I decided to not watch anything, read any books or comic books made after 2014 with a few exceptions like Yellowstone and Better Call Saul or if someone I trust recommends it. You are right, it was nice when nerds had companies that wanted their business. There are so many shows and books out there from the pre woke days that I can’t watch or read them all in my lifetime.
You are in for a treat.
Zero spoilers because it's a very tight knit show mostly, but the pay off from the very end sequence is one of the most moving moments you'll probably experience from a TV show.
RIP Firefly... one of my all time favourites that only got 1 season... mind you it was directed by Joss Whedon and probably would have devolved into SJW lectures and shit-flinging...
Joss Whedon is a one-man-argument for studio interference. Whenever there is studio interference (Firefly, first Avengers movie) he can churn out solid stuff. When he gets free reign (later superhero movies, Serenity [firefly movie]) he just shits the bed.
They made a tv show called "the internet ruined my life", where they fear mongered about a troll who falsely stated that he was going to snipe the #cancelcobert bitch just to fuck with her.
