I am nowhere near the type to complain too much about "woke" things but I certainly haven't seen many "originals" on Netflix that appeal to me in years. I don't need representation, I need interesting stories.
- GravitasFailure 5y agoHeh, the really sad thing is that there are so many golden age sci fi stories that explore issues of race, sex, and gender, and could be adapted, or at least used as a template to start exploring with new material, but instead we get...Cowboy Bebop "fixing" Gren. It's frustrating.
- nickff 5y agoMost of the golden age stories seem to explore one aspect of these issues, but don't prioritize 'representation'; Stranger in a Strange Land comes to mind. It's probably easier to just put a diverse cast into a bland story.
