help meme please

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Have done, many times. I still enjoyed the show. Is it identical? No. But it hit enough of the beats for me.

book purists are just as bad as comic purists. yes, there's an original adaptation. yes, it's good. that doesn't mean people can't play from and enjoy the visual adaptation via movie or show. they can both be good.

Considering that the screenplay was written by one of the same still living writers of the book, it confounds me that anyone would get in a tizzy over this adaptation of all things. Gaiman wrote it after Pratchett asked him to while he was dying. Have some damn respect for his choices to make some creative adjustments. He even had a reason for changing to ending, so book purists wouldn't get cocky.

As someone who loved the book for years, I thought the show was great. It respected the source material while adding fresh ideas as well. Plus it's great watching the racists lose their shit over "forced diversity" of the show and ranting to Gaiman at Twitter about it, who promptly shrugged them off. Just when I thought I couldn't love Gaiman more.

Honestly shitty people screaming about forced diversity is the best tribute to Pratchett's legacy I can think of. IMO based on interviews he would've gotten a kick out of it
