Tbh this isn’t a bad take. The books revolutionised science fiction writing and it deserves credit for that but that was 1942. They haven’t aged well. But nuclear powered everything is funny to read about from today’s perspective. I loved that the show actually mentioned nuclear powered ashtray as an Easter egg.
Asimov forgot to even acknowledge women existed until much later. So the show is less gender swap and more actually including women at all 😅
Foundation is one of the few adaptations that I think benefits from it’s lack of fidelity to the source material.
I think they actually made these changes more in an attempt to make it good than poor writing or lack of respect for the source material.
I’ll be more pissed at apple not finishing the series than the writing or accuracy.
