I was trying to think of a way to shoehorn in my opinion on Wheel of Time, but fuck it, I'll just say it.
Wheel of Time sucked. They fucked it up badly.
Let us hope it is the last footwear to fall.
Amazon has financed the Expanse. That's it. The evil fuckers have zero credit to the quality of the TV adaptation. It was two seasons at SyFy - then, sadly but unsurprisingly, SyFy was unable to turn it into a source of revenue (Hi Firefly :( ) and amazon financed it because the shitbucket in chief at amazon is an Expanse fan.
Hey now. No need to drag shitbuckets through the mud here. 🤌🏼
Pirate it and encourage all your friends to pirate it.
Plenty of Amazon shows are also shit. Just like how Netflix and all the others have a mix of good shows and bad shows.
I want to believe, I really do, but basically every “new version of thing I loved from childhood” has been profoundly disappointing.
My guess: [bad guy] comes back because [good guy] is actually bad guy now, in a complete reversal of their entire character growth arc, and [bad thing that we took care of in the last show] is back because [history erasing lazy writing so they can just tell the same story again].
I see you have also seen [show/movie brought back after a long gap]!
Produced by just means "paid for by," anyway.
So there's a chance it can still suck if Amazon pays the wrong people to make it.
Even if they pay the right people, it may still suck if they try to influence the creative process at all. Over all, I am not optimistic.
The showrunner worked on all three of the TV series so as long as he doesn’t try something like rebooting SGU it might be good.
But if it starts with a drastically older Robert Carlyle defrosting I’m only giving it two episodes.
they said it's not going to be a reboot of anything.
Open the gates!
The one actor who I most want to reprise their role is Michael Welch as Jack
holy shit. so much this
Do you know why Ha'tak floats but a Chappa'ai cannot?

Rings of Power.

The problem is when they abruptly cut off funding and sit on the IP indefinitely.
That's what they did to James Bond .
I thought James Bond is special though? The family still gets to approve the script, so the issue is that Amazon wants to milk it with a crap story, and the family says no this isn't good enough.
So Amazon sits on the IP because Bezos doesn't get his way
Or if they demand changes, which usually comes with the territory of the person writing the checks.
Carnival Row wasn't too bad either IMO
The first season was good, I wasn't super keen on the second.
Fuck, I couldn't get through the first few minutes of ep 1. 🤢
I felt the same way about carnival row AND good omens.
But what about the rings of power?
SEAL THE IRIS!
Oh god. I thought that was an AI joke image...
The money comes from somewhere shitty always with these things. All you can do is hope they stay out of it as much as possible and let the artists do their thing
I'll believe it when it gets released.
Checking the stock price of NVIDIA to determine how many movies get made this year.
Can you explain this comment please I don't understand. Is it a CGI related thing because NVIDIA sells GPUs?
Nividia => AI => AI slop movies/shows
