If you ruin this, I will be furious.

The way Apple ruined Foundation, via Mister "I'm better than Asimov!" Goyer.

Amazon is 1 for 4 on doing justice to adaptations I was very excited for. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

[–] Twista713@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Obligatory fuck amazon of course, but Reacher and Jack Ryan are both excellent adaptations imho. And Goliath is superb, not just because of Billy Bob Thornton, the supporting cast and writing is fantastic. None of these are sci-fi though, so maybe the genre matters? Ugh, now I feel weird defending amazon...

Fair enough! I haven't seen any of those nor am I familiar with the source material. Maybe there's hope yet

What's the one?

[–] ahal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fallout

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 2 days ago

Ok I might give that a shot

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Was it foundation that did this to you?

will admit though that that one punishment - being left to live in permanent sensory deprivation while also knowing that there is literally no one in the universe who knows you exist because they were all killed - is probably the most horrific punishment i’ve ever read in fiction

Honestly, after reading some reviews I haven't even watched it.
