Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, The wheel of Time, have all been huge nerd properties. They were each in their own way, fantastic, and each of them destroyed by someone who either didnt understand them, or wanted to turn them into something else.
I fear the very same thing is about to befall one more 90s/00s nerd show. God knows what theyre about to do to Buffy, but I fear for that one as well.
I'm going to remain cautiously optimisic, they have a lot of the original SG-1 and Atlantis writers and team, as well as some of the crew associated to the movies. But to be honest I'm scared, and 10 episode seasons is already a taste for amazons poor management.
(I won't get over the SIX episodes for the final season of the Expanse, which I'd still consider a content quality win as far as amazon is involved)
Well, I saw that the showrunner is the same guy that was the show runner for the Quantum leap reboot... I guess thats probably a good indicator of where his heads at in bringing back old properties. It was also set up as a sequel to the older show. I guess we'll see, but I just cant be optimistic. I would LOVE to be proven wrong though. LOVE IT.
are you talking about sanderson or the show because i can believe both.
Exactly! I was riding in on a noble steed to say how even the named series were okay, but definitely deviated from the source material in ways that altered the morals and viewpoint being pushed (I'll never forgive what they did to my amos). Like, it's always going to happen when you change mediums. Just look at how many arguments about how 'all batman does is beat up people' that are constantly seen, which is all thanks to the arkham games where, predictably because it's easy to build the gameplay around, all batman does is beat up thousands of folks. The fear is that even here, without a change of medium, the desire to adapt it to a modern audience is going to drive the writers to ruin the old feeling of the series. Hell, even when produced in the nearly same time frame, the 'adaptation' of star gate universe didn't do well.
