Reply to comment by ImpracticallySharp in Tank Girl is ridiculous 90s fun and has Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo man by ggroover97

I enjoyed the movie, but I don’t know the comics. Sounds like it’s good that I didn’t read the comics first.

This reminds me of Foundation on Apple’s streaming platform. I read Asimov’s books. The so-called adaptation is so poor it’s offensive. I haven’t made it past the 3rd or 4th episode. It shouldn’t even be called Foundation.

I think it’s impossible to leave a prior impression at the door when you watch an adaptation.

Glad the latest Dune went well (admittedly, I still like the 80s version for its strangeness—I think it captures the weirdness of the books. But the latest is truer to the source).

You should keep watching Foundation simply for the Cleon storyline. Ignore the rest of it (the parts actually adapted from the books) and the Empire half of the show would be one of the best shows on TV if it were completely self contained and expanded upon.

Yes, I did like the Cleon storyline in the show. I think they could have left Foundation out of it entirely and just developed a new show around that idea.

I’ll probably give Foundation another shot just for that when I run low on shows (which I’ve been saying forever… and Amazon just started showing Peripheral, which I haven’t even started, so… haha)
