it's actually not canon,
Pratchett has gone graet lengths to make the story of Dwarf women the story of women opressed by religious and traditional systems and he painted parallels to muslim communities in the UK.
Female dwarfs in Discworld novels are not trans, they don't want to be men, they are women who are forced to hide their femininity by religion and traditions, female dwarf characters in disworld women are about women fighting for their right to be women. it's telling woke garbge tier tv shows like this will try to make this a trans issue and go against womens right and feminism as it is tradition for them to do so
the thing is, in the books it's a women who was forced by tradition and religion to dress and act like a man, in the book it's the story of women setting themselves free from opression
In the TV show it's about a literal troony
wokeism:1 women rights:0
The whole thing is so fricking moronic.
They had a dwarf dealing with gender-issues, wanting to show her femininity in a culture that kept that stuff hidden. They had a mature woman who was smart, wealthy, caring, likable and overweight. They had a human who was brought up in another culture, never really fitting in.
But that wasn't good enough for them. So they changed the shit that would have gotten them praise and added in new shit that was unneeded and which people hated.
They had exactly the kind of characters they needed to appease the audience who like that kind of stuff and they threw it away.
Sorry, but you should stop dickwashing Christopher Tolkien, as well.
His father stated numerous times, on record, that what he created was a mythological tapestry, which he WANTED other authors to fill in with their stories. Without knowing about it, he created what we call a "setting".
Instead his moronic son went full Disney Vault, claiming he wanted to protect his father's legacy, but later on he started churning out his own shit, of course "based on his father's notes" (where have I heard that before) but self-admittedly: >cutting out parts his father wrote in (like the Dagor Dagorath being removed from "The Silmarillion") >adding in elements which were obviously half-baked and ruin multiple storylines, like the Elvish reincarnation >putting in his own writings AND refusing to point out what exactly he wrote in >choosing as "canon" not the ideas his father wrote in chronologically last, but by his own judgement, like Galadriel's origin in Middle-Earth
The show was slated by fans, other writers including Gaiman and Prachetts daughter so maby the next time Discworld gets adapted it won't be beyond shit and accurate to the source material.
>Then shortly after he b***hed that fans disliked black Death in Sandman.
kek what a monumental homosexual he is
white goth b***h death is one of the most iconic characters in comics, period
yeah lets just slap some black b***h in that role
she was a fine enough actor imo but just not right for the role
It bothered me that he said something like "I guess people don't care about the actual character but only the looks".
Fricks' sake, the looks are 50% of it in comics. There's a reason why you made her an upbeat goth girl with huge hair - you liked that combination and it's a unique look. You kept it that way throughout all the character's appearances, why do that if the looks didn't matter?
Fans go nuts if Spider-man's costume changes slightly. Of course they'd react if the entire look of a beloved character changes.
He could have said "well, we're going in a new direction with this, this actress simply blew us away, in this iteration of Sandman she's black". But to claim that it doesn't really matter is just bullshit.
fricking exactly
the actress was legitimately good in the role too, which sort of broke my heart even more
i would have preferred they made Dream black rather than Death, that's at least canon in a couple of stories. and if they have to have their blackskinning they could have gone for him.
it was such an utterly stupid decision
>Death in Sandman novels
shy pale childish blonde girl >Death in Sandman tv show
witty strong empowered black girl know it all
There's an entire arc in Sandman where all of the Endless manifest as black tribalpeople in ancient Africa
>yes, that's actually canon
it's actually not canon,

Pratchett was a trans ally, so I don't think he'd mind
>There's an entire arc in Sandman where all of the Endless manifest as black tribalpeople in ancient Africa
That's a cop-out.
Dream shows up as a cat at one point, doesn't mean he should be a cat in the show.
Yes, the endless can change their looks and they look different, or can look different, to people looking at them. But Death was a pale goth girl 99% of the time she appeared in comics, including in the very stories the show is based on.
If her looks didn't matter Gaiman could have changed her looks for every story to cement the fact that she has no fixed appearance. But it kept returning to the same look all the time. Suddenly going "oh, but the look doesn't matter" is bullshit.
yeah and that's the hypocrisy, he should've just said they go another direction. not act like it doesn't matter and preach to his audience. the sad thing is the actress was actually really good, just not in that role
>Fantasy TV shows are dead
they were always just a meme
GoT singlehandedly memed the idea of a successful fantasy high budget tv series into existance, and singlehandedly brought it down in flames as well.
Because Cinemaphile had threads about it when it was released.
I've never watched it. I am sorta morbidly curious, but so far I've resisted the temptation.
oh, great
they made it moronic
good job, very kino
Tiny chick in the back is hot though.
yeah, she plays a dwarf
a trans dwarf
yes, that's actually canon
No she doesn't. The man on the left does.
oh shit its even worse than I thought
wait, is that small b***h supposed to be angua?
>yes, that's actually canon
it's actually not canon,

>it’s not woke it’s just anti religious slop
it’s woke
>Mooncult
>Religion
Pick one
every doctrine of ritualism or worship is religion, not just the mainstream goyslop religions
>4'10
Imagine
You could carry her around in your pocket for safekeeping.
old news
This mutant is Angua? cringe.
literally was the only tolerable cast member, that's the one you're calling out?
smol
why not have the tiny girl play the dwarf?
That's a joke in the books. Carrot is a human adopted by dwarves and he thinks he is one despite being taller than anyone else.
I don't think you understand what they're saying.
Look at that ridiculous clown on the right
the thing is, in the books it's a women who was forced by tradition and religion to dress and act like a man, in the book it's the story of women setting themselves free from opression
In the TV show it's about a literal troony
wokeism:1 women rights:0
Well in the books it's a woman who gets pozzed by Ankh-Morpork and led by the other women in the squad to wear makeup and dresses and shit.
yeah, but a women, not a troony
Well yeah
The whole thing is so fricking moronic.
They had a dwarf dealing with gender-issues, wanting to show her femininity in a culture that kept that stuff hidden. They had a mature woman who was smart, wealthy, caring, likable and overweight. They had a human who was brought up in another culture, never really fitting in.

WE DEMAND MORE RESIDUALS
Just remember, he thinks he's exactly the same as the girl next to him
Should play Nobby
that never happened
LALALALALA
She's cute as frick though.
That's old news. No one watched it and it was a flop. Rhianna Pratchett didn't like it either
>Rhianna Pratchett didn't like it either
who cares about her
she's literally the embodiment of brian herbert
Rhianna Pratchett perfectly demonstrates that writing skills cannot be inherited or learned.
Who needs them/
She can coast on her father's name alone.
And much like Tolkien's relatives or Disney's they will fold like cheap prostitutes at the sight of a paycheque
>And much like Tolkien's relatives

She is the keeper of her fathers legacy. And unlike Brian Herbert, she wants to do it right.
>Nigswatch.
The show was slated by fans, other writers including Gaiman and Prachetts daughter so maby the next time Discworld gets adapted it won't be beyond shit and accurate to the source material.
>including Gaiman
oh really? what did that pretentious twat have to say about it? some flowery prose, no doubt.
He b***hed about how the fans want to see the characters they know and love.
Then shortly after he b***hed that fans disliked black Death in Sandman.
>Death in Sandman novels

Was the show about that arc? Why did they keep that appearance for a single arc in the comics?
>There's an entire arc in Sandman where all of the Endless manifest as black tribalpeople in ancient Africa
That's a cop-out.

Fantasy TV shows are dead. House of the Dragon was an anomaly. Legend of the Seeker was better than the average fantasy show post 2020.
>Fantasy TV shows are dead
they were always just a meme
GoT singlehandedly memed the idea of a successful fantasy high budget tv series into existance, and singlehandedly brought it down in flames as well.
Yeah, cos only untalented diverse homosexuals are hired to write those shows.
Discworld Night's Watch? Who is supposed to be Vimes, Carrot, Angua, etc? Where are the trolls and giants? Looks like dogshit
it's even more dogshit, the strong black grrl is supposed to be Lady Sybil
Well thanks, somehow I got mad over something I won't ever see
Littlebottom, Angua, Sybill, Vimes, Detritus, Carrot.
>Detritus(?) in pants
>Carrot isn't a meat-mountain
>Angua(?) isn't stacked
They somehow got more money to make it look cheaper than Going Postal or Hogfather. That's almost impressive.
going postal and hogfather were amazing, especially for their budget
If Charles Dance had black hair in Going Postal he would have been a literally perfect Vetinari.
That is a very small woman.
smol
why do they look like CSI New York?
very kind of them to bring that child along on a case
Why is there a guy dressed as a chess rook on the left?
She was in Blood Drive
Nice butt
how I never came across this show before
It was pretty good
little Maltease
YOU JUST KNOW
What is up with bong tv there's more Black folk and gays than a lot of American shows
vimes was well cast
Let's not forget Vetinari - pic related.
CMOT Dibbler and Dr. Cruces were also made into female characters.
How do you know this
Because Cinemaphile had threads about it when it was released.
I've never watched it. I am sorta morbidly curious, but so far I've resisted the temptation.
It was a thing that occurred
Stunning and brave to make it intentionally shitty.
will it be getting a season 2?
If there is a god then hopefully hope
It already came out and failed.
Apparently the rights holder is now Terry’s daughter who didn’t like this which is a good sign.
>An adaptation of a leftie Brit's novels so bad his daughter, who is even a bigger leftie, openly discarded it.
