Hey look, it's another thing you love being raped. Apparently Lord Vetinari is a woman, Sam Vimes is something between a Borderlands psycho and Jack fucking Sparrow, and I think the half-black chick with red curly hair is supposed to be Carrot Ironfoundersson... and the trailer makes it look like an action movie. I can't wait!
And the costume design looks like they sent an intern dumpster diving behind a charity shop, the set design and the props looked like it was shot on location in Portland, Oregon, 2020, and the cast looks like they were picked for a movie about a high school musical.
The Sky1 adaptations look absolutely flawless in comparison to this.
So, yeah, just another casualty in the Culture War, and a reminder that we should have gatekept harder.
I can't think where to start. This is an abomination, and anyone who has read Pratchett and watches this is in for a shock.
I'd be interested to hear the late Sir Terry's view on this, since there is genuine diversity in his books, and some of the later novels had some subtle commentary on a range of topics. The people who made this abortion wouldn't grasp subtlety if it was beaten into them by a large orangutan.
I could rant for a long time about this, as I'm seething with hatred, but it's not worth it. Just add it to the list of wokified adaptations to avoid.
Not only did he do a sterling job of writing diversity and tackling racism (speci-ism?) better than any of the current SJWish have even bothered trying, he wrote more fleshed-out and well-rounded female characters than pretty much the entire left movement put together.
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, Tiffany, Susan, Angua, and Lady Sybil — all proof that you can write great female characters without making them a cardboard cutout for yelling "Men bad, womxn good, the future is female!", or making their characters men with boobs intentionally ugly androgynous features (since male gaze is bad, and anything that pisses off their fragile egos is good).
Can't decide which would be more appropriate - locking the people who designed this in a room with the Librarian and telling him they have late books, or putting them at the mercy of an actual Vetinari.
Well, he was really losing it the last two or three books or so, but by gods, is that hot trash. Even his grody goblins wouldn't put this in a amphora.

Carrot's the tall guy with red hair at the very end - the guy next to him says "Turn it down, Carrot."
Yeah, I think you're right, the half-black chick is probably Sybil Ramkin.

Ugh, I could only take 30 seconds of that. My. fucking. god.
