Is it just me or is this season shaping up to be kino?

Bump

i heard it has too much soapy drama filler

>>212857090
The drama is actually the kino part, it's the butchering of Asimov plotlines that prevents it from being genuinely good

>>212856369 (OP)
not really, too much asimov nonsense played by untallented dei actors, and too little empire kicking the shit out of everybody

>>212857285
>muh dei

>>212856369 (OP)
Very unoriginal. Galactic empire in the brink of collapse fighting the resistance, a powerful trade alliance, a planet destroying laser. Now who's copying who?

i dont care, im not watching it, I've seen enough of them shitting on Asimov in season 1.

Im currently reading book 3 of the Three-Body trilogy, and i will give a chance to show about that, either the western or the chinese adaptation. fuck this show

>>212856369 (OP)
>more white people
kino
>more darkies
trash

>>212856369 (OP)
the casting is ass, the visuals are ass, the stories don't even follow the books
this is foundation in name only

>>212858409
/thread
then again assimov was a bit of a socialist commie
he'd probably welcome the changes if it wasn't his own work

>>212856369 (OP)
Any webm requests?

>>212858652
just some upskirt shots if you have any
nobody watches this shitty show except applefags and apple has fuck you money to burn away on it so nobody actually watches the show

>>212856369 (OP)
>yet another intentionally miscast, butchered adaptation that hates what it adapts and its fans
Definitely just you.

>>212858914
Don't have upskirts but have this instead

>>212859108
weird shit
i won't watch but i appreciate your attempt
also i just meant upskirt webms in general

>>212856369 (OP)
It's just you. The show is wokeslop

>>212859198
HEY LOOK AT ME, I AM ACTING!

>>212859198
>also i just meant upskirt webms in general
This is a foundation thread so that would be off-topic

>>212859246
They were doing a tiktok spoofing a sitcom into for promoting the movie

>>212857198
asimov's plotlines sucked
whenever Foundation comes up, I feel like I'm the only person in the world who actually read the whole thing. Foundation is a dogshit piece of literature coarsely peppered with cool ideas. All the stories combined make for a tiny book and it still felt too long

>>212859259
Threesome with both
Also I'm not into the lore, why the fuck did she tell this random girl everything about herself? What's so special about her home planet?

>>212859259
>This is a foundation thread
i am altering the thread
pray i don't alter it any further

>>212856369 (OP)
Anti-white-male filth. The wokest show that pretends to be a real show. Disgusting angry pro-gay, pro-lesbian, anti-Jesus propaganda.

>>212859389
>Also I'm not into the lore, why the fuck did she tell this random girl everything about herself? What's so special about her home planet?
She is some religious preistess o a religion which Demerzel believes in, she wants to confess and understand her own conflicts. Demerzel will get her memories wiped and restored anyway

>>212859002
>lets do the Star Wars thing!
>thats not in Asimov
>who?

>>212859486
Ahhh it's the sandwomen planet from s1?

>>212856369 (OP)
does this season have Lee Pace kino?

>>212859972
Yup

>>212860160
The show would be dead without Lee Pace

>>212860219
Hari seldon too which is why they can't get over with killing him kek
Although the mule actor does seem to have potential, I hope he's gonna be good

If Day's nanites are so good at healing him then why does he even get old? He should be the same healthy young self in perpituity

>>212859639
Refer to this >>212858033

>>212856369 (OP)
Man the sequel books are so fucking shit.

>>212859369
I flipped through a foundation novel once and quickly realized why the only thing I'd ever heard people discuss about Azimov were his credentials. Some writers elevate bland material. Azimov took interesting topics and made them bland.

>>212859369
>read the whole thing
>a tiny book
nigga only reads the first volume and still pretends he knows better.

>>212862474
what I read was Foundation, that being a collection of 4 or 5 novelettes/short stories. Is that not Foundation?

>>212863086
its a series, and it add ups to around 3000 pages

so the idea that its a "short novel" is fucking idiotic
thats like, fuck knows, 100 hours worth of reading time?

>>212863086
it's Foundation the novel, actually a compilation of short stories published in pulps in the 1940s, that is way before most of the usual sci-fi tropes you can find inside became tropes. it's actually Asimov who popularised them.
but there are two others novels/compilations which continue the story.
plus two sequel novels written decades later and two other prequel novels written even later. those have a very different tone and more or less ruin the original ruin by trying to tie it with Asimov's 1950s robot novels which were never planned to be in the same continuity.

>>212861210
>why does he even get old?
Literally explained last season speedwatcher

>>212863388
why would I read 3,000 pages of a series if the first book fucking sucked?

>>212863581
>that is way before most of the usual sci-fi tropes you can find inside became tropes.
yeah, it's cool reading the first-evers for "planet that is a huge city" and "warp drives" and "lost technology cult". But ideas alone do not a good book make, the book itself is just endless navel-gazing and genius off-screen plots which are exposited to the reader only after they have occurred. it's written like a clumsy Boy Detective novel in space

>>212863703
the short stories of the other two volumes are much longer and more character-driven. there are only 3 parts in the second and 2 parts in the third.
also Asimov was only 22 when he wrote the first stories while studying. no one denies it's a beginner's work.

>>212859108
Im only on s1, at what point does lee pace turn into a viking pimp?

>>212863703
the whole point of Foundation is that the plan follows a mathematical certainty, and therefore individuals cannot avoid its determenism. In one of stories there is that general of Empire, who goes to destroy Foundation, and simply refuses to accept that "the dead hand of Seldon" will stop him because thats what Seldon's prophecy says will happen.

>>212856369 (OP)
I don't like those incarnations of day and dusk who always carried the show
also I don't remember who the named people were
which one was mallow
finally done with the last batch of brownies?
new hypercompetent brownies!

>>212863695
The nanites should more than compensate for the genetic drift which is barely noticeable

two many characters spanning too many locations , over too much time. these books should have left as books.

>>212864090
Only Season 3, his role allows him to be a different version each season

>>212864090
Season 3. It's a different character.

>>212864376
>which one was mallow
The guy who fucked the self insert kek

>>212864376
>finally done with the last batch of brownies?
>new hypercompetent brownies!
They get darker and blacker each season too.

>>212862268
I've been reading some Asimov again (mostly his later stuff to be fair) and I'm finding his writing style a lot more engaging and even exciting than I used to. Simple yet clear and propulsive, it's no frills drama and problem solving in a good way. I'll be revisiting Foundation next so we'll see how it compares.

>>212859369
Foundation is his most iconic work in pop culture pretty much by reputation and precedent alone. It's not even the final boss of his catalog.

>>212864604
I'm under the impression the damage was insidious enough that the nanites don't recognize the aging as damage needing repair.
