Yadda yadda yadda... dragons... yadda yadda yadda... then the bells came and it all meant nothing.
“Honestly think that I’d be better served going into it forgetting anything I know about the books.”
Oof. This is getting stupid. Is Ian Fletcher still the Head of Values over at the Beeb?
this might well turn out to be a show worth watching, a decently done fantasy cop dramedy might well be fun.
Nope. No, sorry, I’m done with this one.
What an utter shit storm this will create, a bunch of pointless gender changes in a literary universe literally bursting with characters and new opportunities. I’ve been reading Discworld since Colour Of Magic, and I genuinely don’t see the need to make these changes to very well established characters. Either create…
Yeah, no ‘meat onna stick’ or ‘sausage in a bun’ - now he’s (possibly) an underworld kingpin with minions? Umm....
changing one of the most iconic characters of the whole books series like this is destined to cause a heated reaction like this, though, so it does seem pretty much like calculated publicity casting.
Well, then they’re pretty fucking dense, if they didn’t think this would upset people. They had a chance to make everybody happy here, and they blew it fantastically.
Well, I am officially out. I am fine with characters being portrayed by other gender/ethnicities if it is done well but it sounds like the people putting this together give zero shits about the source material. CMOT Dibbler as just a snitch? Trash.
You know, there were already plenty of existing characters, and plenty of room for new characters, that could have amply provided gender and racial diversity in the cast. And instead they decided to appropriate several fan-favorites for this. This doesn’t look to me to simply be a desire for diverse representation,…
Well, Wonse isn’t a wizard, and Throat isn’t an informant, so if that’s how the BBC is describing them, they’re already deviating pretty seriously from Pratchett’s books.
gender-bent spin on Lord Vetinari,
Hopefully not just for the Marvel movies.
“That’s the best way to do it because John Connor been explored in all the other movies quite extensively,” Miller said. “And I can honestly say that nobody in the [writer’s] room thought twice about it. Nobody thought this should be John’s story. It was always [Sarah’s] story.”
It looks low rent compared to most Nissans.
This is the quality content I’m (genuinely) looking for. Let’s be real, the only time I read a sports story is when you guys shit on the Browns because I feel validated as a disgruntled fan.
