In case anyone didn’t know, JK has said before that she sees the ongoing success of Harry Potter as direct approval of her stance towards transgender people.
Why are we still giving JK Rowling money?
I mean, I’m not
Before the S hit the F, we bought the entire movie set and the entire book set for our kids. We’d regularly read them to them before bed, and now it makes me throw up in my mouth. As I always say, she can fuck off into the sun. There is absolutely no financial benefit for her to be a tankie, but I guess once you’re rich you can just go full mask off.
I’m only acquainted with her being a TERF. Is she a tankie, as well? That seems like an unlikely ideology for a billionaire to espouse.
Not gonna lie, I don’t know the difference between terfs and tankies. I’m old. I just know both are bad. Protect trans people.
TERF is trans exclusionary radical feminist.
Tankies are “leftists” who align themselves with “communist states” like Russia and China.
Wait… Why the series if the movies exist and already do the same job perfectly well…
Do you know how many huge companies make money on keeping this franchise alive to sell merchandise rights and theme park tickets?!
And those 2 are worth more than any artistic integrity ever.
Right, I’m just surprised they would remake the same stories instead of just expanding on the same universe
Same but expanding has been a bad sale lately because it pisses off old nerds or only appeases them because they focus on stories we already know the beginning and end to.
And apparently we can’t trust to tell a completely new story in the same world as that would kill the merchandise already made of characters you wish to keep around forever in their collectors packaging.
Basically people are scared to step in any direction in case it is wrong and impacts the profit.
So remake, that isn’t too different but younger.So instead of writing competent, coherent stories and letting the creativity that caused the huge fanbase flourish, their reaction to fan rejection of by-the-numbers low effort cash grabs is to… make more remakes?
These decision makers need to leave the industry.
Because JK Rowling likes money, I presume
It’s mainly HBO/Warner’s new parent company and their president who wanted this to happen
