GOOD NEWS: A Beloved Franchise Of Yours Is Becoming A Movie Or Show BAD NEWS: It's 2022
The Babylon Bee ^ | Jul 26, 2022

U.S. — Thousands upon thousands of fans have come together in celebration that their beloved franchise is finally being adapted into a live-action series. Unfortunately, they all forgot it's the year 2022, and they don't make them how they used to.

"Normally, I'd be overjoyed to hear that Rings Of Power was being made into a series, but then I realized it's going to be nothing like Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy from 2 decades ago," said diehard Tolkein fan Wesley Brummette. "Instead, it's going to be created by a woke, soulless corporate boardroom that only cares about their profits."

Even how they announce themselves

I am Kam Ala of the United Peoples

My pronouns are she, her, and suck machine

And I wear a blue suit and am sitting at this table

“created by a woke, soulless corporate boardroom that only cares about their profits”

These woke movies are not going to make profit because people will hate it. It’s just stupidity overload.

Boy, isn't that the truth. I guardedly watched the first Jack Ryan episode on Amazon. Garbage, nothing like the books or movies. At least it saved me from watching Without Remorse which was sure to also be a perversion of Tom Clancy's work.

I gave up after the first episode when the French police ignored the kids playing the hallway on their way to get blown up by terrorists who were, naturally, expecting them.

Glutton for punishment?

Driving a rusty nail under my fingernail is less painful than watching an Amazon original.

HULU has a series of “Reacher” that is so much better than either of the Tom Cruise movie train wrecks.

Eight episodes that is actually one book.

There’s all this inertia. Marvel movies or any well-known movies will continue to make money because they’re a proven brand. But eventually people will start to tune out.

I will to, but I'm not expecting much. My brain is use to filtering out woke BS and just ignoring it. Nothing to watch these days if you can't.

Without the moral underpinnings it will be just another Marvel CGI mail it in movie.

Do they still care about their profits?

Are they being secretly bankrolled by Soros or the DNC in order to spew neo-Marxist propaganda?

They want to make money, but are very out of touch and caught in their circles of group think that they can’t figure out why that woke crap isn’t selling.

It might even get me to go back and re-read the LOTR trilogy for the umpteenth time.
