And Amazon is adapting Warhammer 40k.

Let’s hope they won’t botch it like they did with The Foundation and the Rings of Power. (I don’t have high hopes)




They've also botched The Wheel of Time.


I don't actually like The Wheel of Time, so my reactions to the show are about whether it's good television: I think it was.

Rings of Power was unwatchable, I gave up.

I never really liked Foundation (although I read all the books when I was too young to realize Asimov was incapable of portraying characters that weren't paper thin). I found some of the changes obnoxious but comprehensible for building a show, but found it also to be watchable TV.

I'm pretty confident the people producing these shows care more about whether people think it's watchable TV than whether big fans of the original agree their conversion is faithful, which sounds like your complaint, here.
