Foundation really fucking pissed me off because I really liked the book series, psychohistory is literally Dialectical Materialism as predictive math, the whole fucking thing, at least up until the Mule and all the psychic bullshit, is rooted in materialism pushing societal changes
and then the show comes out and it turns out the showrunner just wanted to do their own fucking thing! like, they wanted to do their own original fucking IP, but woops, got saddled with Asimov’s work, and just decided to do it wearing that thing’s skin
Yeah, I had heard fans of the book series hated that first season and the liberties it took.
Which is why I’m surprised Foundation got a 3rd season.

fuck them fucking christ, fuck
Foundation is nothing like the books, but they somehow make a good show of it. The actor for the weird clone emperor thing they did is perfectly cast.
The clone emperor triumvirate is literally like the one good change that they made that could have just worked with the original plot
yeah they could have done with less changes but I still think they’ve made a good show, it just sucks that it has the name “foundation” imo
