"you’re already primed to swallow corporate ejaculate by the gallon, so why delay?"
I am immediately skeptical of any mainstream studio creating movies or shows of well established franchises. In today's world, we already know what sort of messaging they will be putting in these stories. They love to bastardize the material
Your themes are definitely hitting on what is happening. Nice thorough soliloquies on what is happening! I'm a bit more blunt and clanging about it.
The Islamo-Marxists are taking over culture because the Church refuses to rebuke, to follow God, to do the Great Commission everywhere all the time. We men of the church are lulled, dopamined by our stupid hobbies and we get angry & pathetically self-righteous when anyone says, hey... let's do more church!
AND... I'll say, we can do more Church whilst creating stories, whilst creating adventures! We just have to work at it and take BACK the genres... fantasy, scifi... not play their way, or tell stories their way... but take these back and tell them Christ's way! EVANGELISM.... PLANTING CHURCHES.
When Fallout was getting first adapted I had the temptation to watch it, but then I realized that since I already played the first three games that mattered FO1,2 and New Vegas, and the London Expansion for FO4. What would be the point to wanting to watch something that would defeat the purpose of why you played an RPG in the first place? So you can feel vindication by some other author that's never played the games to begin with to validate your "canon"? And I didn't have the money nor time to want to waste with a show like that.
As for the audience wanting to see this stuff, well to quote author Devon Erikson in one of his many bait posts, the real audience for a show like Fallout on Prime are basically the vast majority of the people that are no better than a hastily thrown together Learning Language Model that can neither understand what missing a breakfast is nor can they imagine something as simple as an apple.
I look at Fallout about the same way that I look at Foundation…both are fun shows that basically have almost nothing to do with their original ideas. So what I do is just act like they are completely different…To me the Foundation TV show is really Ferndation written by Ersic Azermov. In my mind Fallout is a dystopian show called ‘FallingOut’. This way I am able to enjoy both without getting angry at how their origins might have been ruined.
The problem with Foundation, is that no adaptation would be interesting to watch about it's ideas... because Dune is essentially Foundation if it was written to be as compelling as Toynbee and Edward Gibbon's books. The OG Foundation novels like most of Asimov's fictional writing is loaded with ideas but is dryer than the Sahara Desert at night. So all you can really do is just punch up a mash up of all of Asimov's other novels to vaguely make something that would be entertaining to watch.
You are too good at this! I agree 100% but in my way I am able to enjoy all of the games, the books, the movies and the TV shows. I enjoy talking to Dune movie fans when they argue that Paul is a good guy!!

These shows that put on the anti-capitalist skin suit are very cringe.

Some people tried to insert egalitarianism into my church. It was so stressful. These same people also believe that homosexuality in fiction is okay.
Book of Jude... they will sneak into the churches and seduce.
Now I don't feel so bad about not liking the show. Thank you for that.
