    "Woke" Franchises

    Other than older stuff made pre the mid-teens? Probably not.

    "Woke" Franchises

    I remember seeing a few G4 clips back in the day, they were all centered around Olivia Munn, was any of their content relevant when you exclude that woman's booty?

    Fotze? But yeah, way past her sell by date.

    "Woke" Franchises

    And anyone still cares what aged eye candy says because? I mean, those boobas, or should I say loomas, I don't recall if that was Ferengi or Farscape slang for mammaries, have sagged by now, and only the most fanatical simps will still give a damn about her.

    I think that is the state of affairs for the past 10 years where large, legacy franchises are concerned. Either dumb self-insets or Mary Sues.

    "Woke" Franchises

    I noticed, it is still fun to praise my favorite franchises, though. Yeah, and most of the time the adaptations are underwhelming, like Paycheck, and Minority Report and A scanner darkly, that one with the self-replicating war machines. And yes, I do, or should I say, I did, enjoy PKD's stuff...

    "Woke" Franchises

    It was a lot more surrealist and philosophical than what we got in the movie. OG Blade Runner was still iconic, despite playing fast and loose with the "canon".

    "Woke" Franchises

    It is an American science fiction novel. Shining, um Bladerunner was based on a novel called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, by Philip K. Dick.

    "Woke" Franchises

    Dune is a genius, deep science fiction epic with a lot of complex phylosophy and discussions on things like religion, power and following a charismatic leader being a bad idea, read it and understand it before you bitch about it. Well, on the one hand the Lynch version was pretty weird with all...

    Lynch thought that the reason why his movie did so poorly was because he didn't have final cut, btw.

    "Woke" Franchises

    Wierding weapons was a stupid idea, but considering the constraints they had to deal with I am sort of inclined to agree. Some of the visuals in particular were a lot cooler. Also, Frank Herbert shared your opinion, he was actually quite happy with the results. The Scifi adaptation was more...

    "Woke" Franchises

    You mean the party in Arakeen with all the local potentates? Also, new Dune had so much missed potential I am quite annoyed. Kynes's death scene IIRC for example was a flashback that explained the sand trout -> worms -> spice cycle. It would have been fun if she was to die in the desert, after...

    You are forgetting one key point, apart from scoring SJW brownie points hot lesbian action sells to the primarily male nerds:

    You will have to get in line behind all his ex-es. I am pretty sure that number will increase soon. Can't believe I once admired that guy...

    "Woke" Franchises

    Read some of them long ago, lost interest pretty quickly, after the 3rd or 4th book excluding the one prequel that was out. Lots of borrowed ideas from Dune and a bunch of other popular franchises.

    That way the money they are throwing down the drain will come out of your taxes. Let them shovel bags of 100$ bills into the boiler of a train driving crap and produce woke garbage no one watches, the train wreck is entertaining, if the shitty movies are not.

    "Woke" Franchises

    Why do they let rando morons with next to no experience do these things, anyways? With 80 mil you'd think they can hire writers with some real experience that know the genre.

    "Woke" Franchises

    Not really, a lot of Libtards write bad Lovecraftian fanfiction and others write "scholarly" works, like this piece of hot garbage. There was also one "short story" and one novel that made out the Deep One hybrids to be just another hated US minority the evil white patriarchy murdered because...
