An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message

[u/Morr4Seiya]

Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up

I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them

Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

If you have read foundation and gaia you will understand that the plan cannot fail on a more fundamental level

I can't find this on Google and I am pretty sure I read the entire series. Do you maybe mean foundation and earth? Or did I miss a book

Sorry its called foundation and earth. Trevize goes searching for earth and finds Gaia - which reminds me a lot of the nemesis planet.

I will be honest I forgot it.

I think it still doesn't return to the themes of the first book.

There is still a super special someone controlling history. Him being a robot doesn't change the fact that it's still a super special someone calling the shots.

This is still not the collective going on an inevitable course determined by macro factors like the first book present.

Gaia is going to become galaxia. It's not about the robot, it's about Gaia being an irresistibile force of assimilation
