adi shankar is equal parts crank, zionist, opportunistic shitweasel, and glory hound
remember that he's the guy who cried really hard about apu in the simpsons, and then seethed that their response was to write apu out of the show-- he was not actually trying to strongarm them into removing apu, he was trying to strongarm them into getting himself cast as apu's voice and having writing control over apu's character. he couldn't give less of a fuck about accurate representation
it's also why him buying the rights to duke nukem's TV/movie appearances is really funny, nobody gives a single fuck about duke nukem and nobody is going to herald him as the "savior" of duke nukem the way he wants to be heralded as. he's on record seething about devil may cry coming back from the dead on its own with DMC5 before he could get his shitty netflix series out, and the sheer time gap is also probably a large part of why the netflix series is an even shittier retelling of DmC with some surface aesthetic of DMC proper
adi shankar is a one-trick pony who can only tell one story and wants video game veneers to tell that story over and over with. i saw a bluesky post saying "adi shankar is an echo fighter of max landis" and it was both incredibly funny and incredibly true
