'Foundation' Is Fixing The Trickiest Thing About the Asimov Books - eviltoast

The title comes from the article, but I agree with some of these changes. It’s making for an engaging show that also feels modern.

    I never read the book/books(?), thought the first season was cool. Seems like everyone who read the book hates it.

    I thought it was interesting, visually appealing, and I pretty much binged the whole first season.

      It doesn’t have even the vaguest resemblance to the books. They could have created their own show, but instead somehow are selling it as Foundation.

        There’s an interesting story about a guy who wrote a Hollywood script for a movie where a murder has been committed and the suspects are robots. He got told to convert it to an adaptation of I Robot, so he jammed in a few bits about the 3 laws. Then they brought in Will Smith and that changed the flavor entirely into a Will Smith cop movie. And that’s how the most recent I Robot movie got made. It literally was another story.
