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

fuck them fucking christ, fuck
