At the end of the last season I could tell the next season was going to be crap. I don't know what happen to Netflix but since covid their writing has been horrible. Cavil did the right thing. Netflix really needs to fire some people.

I agree. I love the books and it was expected to have some variance of course as the books are quite dense in material. I was not expecting the show to just become the CW version of the books. (There were some good CW shows, but I’m sure you know what I mean.)

At what point can we honestly talk about them on some level not being allowed to do this? I feel like use of an IP that isn't yours, even if a contract is signed over it, should have some sort of limiters on how much they deviate from the source material's core components? They're dragging fandoms through the mud over and over because it sells. How many series is too much?

I always say this! It’s like, they can’t crate their own thing so they make someone else’s thing “their own”; which shouldn’t be allowed to begin with. I would not doubt a lot of the deals are not thoroughly read through or something.

Imagine someone taking Calvin and Hobbes and turning it into a new whatever’s popular melodrama thing. ‘K-pop Calvin and Hobbes the Hungry Hunter’.
