For some reason they keep bringing hack writers in to write these modern takes. I don't understand it at all. I guess because honestly we've had the same problems for almost a century. The only thing new is more social progression. So instead of adding depth they slap superficial things on top of it. Instead of showing the struggles of gay people or trans people they just shoe horn those people in and give their character a shallow story and stuff. I just don't understand what happened to writers? Where did they go? Why have we stopped producing great minds?

There is no such thing as modern audience. Because it’s not age specific 20 year olds don’t have as much money as 30 years + do. Does who can afford will be the audience.

The Star Wars situation is so strange to me, the showrunners call the fans racist/sexist, while I'm sure there are some of those the majority of star wars fans don't care what race/gender/sexuality appears in your show, it's a whole galaxy put whatever you want in there, hell we'd love to see more alien characters, why so many humans? My problem is obviously the writing, it's fucking abysmal, and it really pisses me off that I get called racist and sexist for disliking ass writing in one of my favorite ips. And then the sexuality thing, I don't care if the character is gay, but also why is sexuality so important in star wars? There is one romance in episodes 4,5, and 6, and one in the prequels, all this gay/not gay shit doesn't matter, nobody watches star wars for romance.

I don't think there's anything strange about it. The people working on these productions are so self-centered that the audience they're creating for are simply themselves. Because they like their own writing, they like the ham-fisted romance plots for same sex couples. And if someone like you says that the writing has suffered and the show is not enjoyable, it gives them carte blanke for labeling you. These are productions created by people who have never taken criticism without being offended by said criticism and who always think of themselves as the greatest artist ever born.

@@jakeryan2805 lol I don’t believe that. If you’ve read the books it doesn’t add up. The show cut and combined too many plot points for it to make sense. It’s not even the fact that it’s bad, it’s the fact that what happened in the show is so obviously a way to wrap it up as quickly as possible with the pieces on the board they had while obviously GRRM isn’t concerned with that and let it balloon out of control. You can’t address all the missing plot points of the book and end up in the same place as the show.

The live action version of "One Piece" was a hit because it was made by FANS of the graphic novel. Not people who wanted to take a popular story and "make it their own." The Creator had control over what was in the show; he made sure it was faithful to the story. That's why it worked so well.

Fun fact, when Henry Cavill got the phonecall to say he was officially cast as superman, he was upstairs playing World of Warcraft, and was living at his parents at the time. His mother shouted up he has an inportant call, snd his response was that he's doing a raid in wow and to take a message!! 😂😂 He loves the witcher and knows the lore, and left because the writers conrinued to diviate from their promises to keep to its canonical lore. He is passionate about Warhammer, and has a huge room dedicated to many models and setups which he gave a tour of. Hes very down to earth, humble, and a decent guy, who doesnt allow his fame to overwhelm his ego.

Imagine buying an infinite money-making device with a set of buyers (fans) and notes (lore) lined up for 4billion. Then deciding to throw away or subvert the notes (lore), insult the pre-arranged buyer (fan) base telling them to bugger-off, and deconstructing the infinite money-making device you paid 4 billion for. Oh and then blaming others, claiming victimhood, and saying you weren't given a chance .. same kind applies to Marvel as well: 2 money printing devices maimed or broken by walking monkey-wrenches that can't maintain or fix or build or have base levels of common sense having grown up in gated communities and been provided for on silver platters since birth.

Why is it such a problem that the audience is male dominated? That's the fan-base, why alienate it? Why change the content so drastically that you push away the very people who have been keeping the fanbase and the content alive for YEARS without these fans, you'd have no story's to tell or make. This makes NO sense, creatively or financially, other than a personal agenda by KK and other show runners, it seems personal, they are on a mission to change something that doesn't actually need to be changed just to piss off male fans.

By black samurai I assume you're talking about the upcoming assassin's creed game and I genuinely don't understand why people are upset about it. There was a real African man who was brought to Japan and was given or sold to Oda Nobunaga. Was he really a samurai? I don't think anyone alive can be certain. But assassin's creed isn't a fully historically accurate game. Taking a real historical person and changing their role slightly to help with the story shouldn't matter, as long as the writing is good. The assassin's were created in Egypt according to AC origins. Yasuke (who really existed in japan) is a great way to have the assassin's order brought to japan. As long as they don't make him a daimyo or the damn shogun what's the big deal? It would be different if they were changing real historical or canon characters races/cultures/ethnicities. No one wants to see Ezio as anything other than Italian. But slightly tweaking the role a real person plays for a fantasy game shouldn't be an issue

This bad habit that to be "good" you need to praise and reward anything, from idiocity to low effort, just cause it's "bad" to hurt someone feelings. Yet, people ignore that self growth can't happen if the person is not trully aware of their flaws. Nope, actually people are being told of being flawed, if they do any cricism towards whatever group is popular. Treating each other as they are made of sugar or acid.

you mean hiring people that have issues with their self identity and creating these shows specifically for them would lead to the shows themselves having identity problems.. who could have known?

The issue is these companies and writers think making a political point is equivalent to quality writing…. It’s not. There’s nothing wrong with including “diverse” characters or even bringing in politics or societal issues into a game, but a lot of these feel so forced, almost like the game or show was made just to make comments about socio-political issues. Which itself is fine if it’s an original work and it’s well written, but when you take something that already has a story written, like a book or game, it’s loved for a reason, people love the story as is, and the new author almost never makes it better. Many games have had diverse characters or mentioned political or even “social justice issues” without it feeling forced, Fallout New Vegas had two publicly gay companions and no one took issue with it, RDR2 references racism against black characters repeatedly and even has that scene where KKK members catch on fire, GTASA had a storyline heavily based on police corruption and elements of racism (which was an actual major issue within the LAPD)….. all these were done well but didn’t feel forced and complimented a great story/writing.

The difference between now and just a decade ago is night and day because it all comes down to priorities. We love entertainment universally because of what entertainment provides. What it’s core definition is. Escape! Our complacency allowed our escape to be hijacked by decision makers, and people being hired who prioritize relevancy. Who use IPs as extensions of their social media pages. Taking away that escape and instead satiating their own insecure, self-absorbed attention seeking for themselves and their agendas. It’s disingenuous and unnatural. It’s forced into a place where it does not belong. Entertainment is simple. It is a space for creative artist to unapologetically pursue imaginative creations. To explore creativity to access escape. It is what all of these old franchises new and made them so successful. Because we all appreciate and desire, authentic escape, a.k.a. entertainment. It is all the more needed, especially for the majority of us who have daily lives and routines and responsibilities and interaction with relevancy 24 seven every day. We need that hour or two of breath of fresh air, that limited window of escape and we need to continue to reinforce this message to these idiots in this entertainment industry that don’t even know what entertainment is and definitely not using it that way.

They prove all this with their actions. Notice their actions always goes counter to their rhetoric. "We need more women" always ends up with men being trashed. Understand that whatever they (Left) says, that they actually believe the opposite. Or at the very least, will have double standards so as to use as hate against their political opponents all the while accepting the same behavior when their side engages in it.

All they had to do is keep writing it like that, just like Andor, the female lead was great, it all feel logical and not forced at all. Just like in the Boys, the female actors in that show also didn't outshine the males leads, by putting them down, they each serves their purpose and it felt like it belongs. Many stories can introduce new characters, instead of making existing characters change race, they can introduce other races, instead of making a male character female, they can introduce new female characters. What they are doing right now is that they don't have the ability to do it, they lack imagination and the will to actual step up in creating great characters. Like in Dragon Age The Veilguard, instead of writing each character having their own likes and desires, they made them all Pansexual, the easy way out. It shows their lack of skill, and the willingness to just take the easy way out instead of actually developing a character. It is why people are against it, because we the audience knows when we are being forced to like something that we don't.

"Diversity" as the DEI lot put it, already existed BEFORE they started screaming and shouting about it. Same for "Inclusion". Both are needless words, used only to bolster the truly stupid one in the middle: Equity. That I reject out of hand. Equality of opportunity, yes. Equity of result? Never. That's socialism and Marxism and has never worked. Period. Diversity and Inclusion was already there. Go back 10 years or 20 years and check populations for a given area, then check the employment records FOR that area... and you'll find the same percentages of ethnicities or sexual orientations or whatever in those employment areas. So yes: the problem IS DEI. It's a marxist tactic used to undermine the West, and it's working. "Finding a way" to shoe-horn it in with good storytelling is ONLY going to keep making the matter worse. It should be laughed out of the door without pity nor remorse. Idiots who believe it should be told in no uncertain terms that 1) they ARE idiots for doing so, and 2) why that is so. Then we should simply get back to where we were 10-20 years ago and carry on. But we certainly should not be pandering to mentally unstable people who are demanding we living in loo-loo-laa-laa land with them.

Denis Villeneuve changes events from the book and invents new ones: - He intentionally made Paul more aggressive compare to the books. - he changes Jessica's overall persona. She's portrayed in the movies as a much weaker and fearful character than the books do. - he creates the North Fremen vs South Fremen conflicts. None of that shit is in the book. - he completely changes Chani story and path, even tho in the book she's standing by Paul’s side supporting him in everything, even when he decides to marry Princess Irulan for political convenience. - he deletes Chani's first pregnancy with Paul having first son, Leto II, the elder, which is killed during a Sardaukar attack. - Paul's sister Alia is not even born even tho she should've while Paul and Jessica were living in the desert along side Fremen. - He made Paul kill The Baron instead of Alia like in the book. And many more. Yet he states "My goal was to be faithful to Herbert"?!!! DEFUCK?? MAKE IT MAKE FUCKING SENSE!!!!

Trying to be inclusive isn't the issue, it is the fact when they say that they are trying to exclude people. And that is always the people that made the franchise worth it in the first place.

No, Villeneuve does not have any respect for Frank Herbert or his works. The second Dune movie proves that with Paul and Chani's characterization being completely butchered all for the sake of "I can make this better than the original writer because I'm better than them". May Villeneuve live in interesting times. Watching the second dune movie compared to the book is like being given gas station beef jerky when you were expecting filèt mignon.

I hope that Disney continues to make shitty star wars until it compleately tanks the company. The only thing they care about is the bottom line and the endless message. I disliked Lucas' management of the IP because i didn't think he was choosy enough. At this point I would love to see the IP bought out and whole-sale placed into creative commons. (It will never happen, but it would be best for Star Wars in the absence of anyone who cares for the IP) A hundred bad star wars stories and a half-dozen good ones would be infinitely preferable to the dozens of trash projects that Disney has produced.

Woke popularily means awake about political issues right? Then the extreme conservatives are woke about extreme liberals being woke. Not as loud ( since Pisney isnt conservative relevant in their agenda nowadays ) but just as bad. And dare we not be moderate/ centrist and take a sane middle ground. Either extreme side WILL if for just one time ally to berate those not wanting be part of either extremist group. Libtards and Conservtards desperately try to stamp moderates as the " other side " when the moderates try to jam common sense into their skulls😂 So.. whos the woke? The woke or the wokes that follows?

Here's this well written character with lots of lore and character development. Modern writers: cool ima change it to suit me.

Peter Jackson and Denis Villeneuve both said that the most important thing was to be faithful to the source material. Both are intelligent, humble, successful and highly talented. Both are artists. Both are household names. Both are greatful and respectful to the fans of the source material. Both created movies loved by the fans of the source material. Movies that were massively profitable. The creators of Disney Star Wars, Netflix The Witcher and Rings of Power are none of those things. These companies must be able to see that.

GTA 6 better not be made for "modern audiences." Unfortunately wokeness infected the dev community far too much.

i probably should feel old. These modern stuffs are not relatable.

Hello Kitty is for everyone and you don't see anyone infiltrating it to change it into something different. This BS needs to stop.

Its the same problem, whenever they say its for a "Modern Audience" it will be trash, has been for everything i have seen where they have done that. To busy putting themes at the forefront without anything to back it up, write good characters and good stories and you can do underlying themes easily.

When the identity of the actors become more important than the characters they are playing you’re doing something wrong. Go listen to the interview of Natalie Portland on Star Wars. You will always hear her refer to her character as she and her. That’s because she would divorce herself from that character. Then go listen to modern interviews. Go listen to the acolyte woman interview. The actors and actresses always say I and me. I went into the room. I grabbed the light saber. Not she grabs it. Reason for that is because they build characters around the real life identity of actors. When they should be building the actors around the characters like they used to. They now pick actresses then build the characters. Unless they just use an already made character, and then swap them for a women or black and clap at themselves. Even the creators now can’t help but inject their biases and real life issues into everything. This is why I only enjoy eastern entertainment these days.

Denis Villeneuve has no right to say this things after dune 2. In my opinion it was a great film but terrible adaptaiton. He changed so much compared to first movie where he only cut beacouse of time. And chages again made film worse.

The problem with the Woke Mind Virus infected and their need to put their politics into existing and successful IP's demonstrates their failure beautifully. What successful IP have they launched? How many successful IP's have they managed to tank? Precisely. Didn't Earn It sums it up very well.

It's all about injecting a certain narrative and opinion in something. So many of these screenwriters and producers are creatively bankrupt. So, instead they take an established IP with a large fan base that "made money before" and crowbar their ideals into the story. Apparently watching TV shows and movies to escape reality for a bit isn't allowed anymore. Now we get lectured on how "you need to feel bad about X". Same shit you laid out here has been going on with Dr. Who. It's both funny and sad that back when Disney wasn't even trying this modern take of "as much diversity as possible" (which I don't haya problem with if the writing isn't shit), Alladin, Mulan? Forgot about those films already? Marvel is the same way. People were raving about how Black Panther was the first black lead superhero movie... ever heard of Blade? Short attention spans lol. And when the audience votes with their feet or their wallets nowadays we get told it's because we are "racist". The BBC blamed the latest opening season of Dr. Who, which as far as I know has some of the lowest ratings yet, on "Global Warming." *sigh*

Feels like a lot of people are noticing things that fandoms have been yelling about for awhile now, but no one took those fandoms seriously for so long that most of them have just gone insane. It's so far gone that non-political people are starting to approach highly charged subjects. Good luck pushing back, because anyone that does is now going to get lumped in with the extremes.

The thing that frustrates me the most about what’s happening to Starwars is that prior to them forcing things under the umbrella of “Legends”, Disney had multiple books, Comics, and Video game story-line that they could have adapted. They had a literal roadmap of events and new/old characters covering decades of in-universe time. Shoot, if they wanted to go into the history of the franchise they could have done a live action Old Republic show They actively have chosen to make a mess of things

Dune? seriosuly? the new films are a joke, they are only following the books loosely, if you want a good Dune adaptation the 2000 "mini" series is the best one.

As someone who read "everything Tolkien" and "everything witcher", I can say, the respective letest installments were an absolute disgrace. I can't understand, why things like that ever got greenlighted.

Dune is such trash. people won't be studying that movie like they will STILL be analyzing the Lord of The Rings in a decade.

Andor was one of the best seasons of TV I've seen and yet I'm doubtful we will get a season 2. I can only imagine where the characters will end up.

They blocked a lot of people for pointing out the double standard of having a black aragon to making black panther or static shock white

Changing the source material has been an issue in anime for decades. When the shows change things it's almost never for the better.

Watching the new Alien trailer something stood out. When we were kids, we didn't need movies to cast people our age to go see them. Other than Goonies. Movies had adults in them. Wrote by adults. With adult brains. Adult wisdom. Adult creativity. Ability to make adult decisions. The current pandering to immature emotionally desparate childish short-sightedness and lack of true creativity and vision is destroying entertainment. We need adults back in the room that will tell the other irresponsible overgrown children no, we are not going to do that. Or if necessary, you're fired.

Problem with Villeneaux, he did not stay faithful to the books in the second part of Dune, not at all. So, they can say what they say but, he completely changed a number of things of importance in the second part of Dune.

The best way to describe what's going on with modern remakes is you give a contractor money to build you a house and the contractor builds an airplane.

🤣 I was reading those paragraphs on the Rings of Power and saw something that made me chuckle. 'Are you implying that Gandalf is in fact a Maiar'... Yes. Yes he is. He was always a Maiar, and always will be a Maiar. Those that have knowledge of the lore know this. His Maiar name is Olorin, and his Patron Valar is Manwe. One thing I don't understand about Rings of Power is why they had to bring in Gandalf in this... this show is set in the Second Age, and the Istari show up in the Third Age, with Gandalf being the last. I don't watch the show simply because they are butchering the lore so much that I don't really recognize it as anything but fanfiction at this point... no... not even that, since fanfiction would imply a fan wrote the script 😞

The sad thing is they have all these great franchises and still fumble the bag. They don't even use the new lore that they established or even know it.
