i'm surprised these flops are putting anything out. so many false starts

remember HBO greenlit that slavery drama they had been working years on? and only cancelled after the backlash? we aint forget ho

and then they got fired from star wars?

both of these ideas sound terrible, and what we got was terrible. so much terrible to go around.

Lmao ofc these morons wanted it to be 3 films instead of completing it as a tv series. So fucking lazy. I hope all their projects fail. The Fans Remember.

I'm currently reading the book that they are adapting for netflix, I already know they are going to fuck it up. Who in hell gave them the right after what they did on got ?

I feel like s2 has potential to be better since GRRM essentially rewrote the entire season because the writers did a shit job.

3 body problem trilogy is possibly my favourite book series and im veering wildly between pessimism and cautious optimisim. dumb and dumber adapted GoT fine when they had the source material (with help from GRRM). so lets see what they do with a completed series.

Every fucking time I read something about D&D I'm just like ... how did they get hired?

OMG I can't

The funny thing is anyone remotely familiar with the fandom at the time would have known that answer. That was the #1 theory.

I think they just wanted to do the series because of the Red Wedding and after that they didn’t care.
