The last movie is 15 years old ! Seriously can we forget about it ?

The terf wrote a new book or two on the IP, maybe there was a movie recently or something.

Not even a terf at this point, just a full blown trad fasc in actions and effect. Her words are extremist, disgusting, and horrific.. and her effective outcomes are just fascist at this point.

I think they are remaking the movies or there is a show being produced now, I vaguely recall hearing something along those lines.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes that is right I think I hear about a TV show as well, I hope it flops horribly and the media decides the IP is worthless now.

When most of your primary original cast refuses to work with you because you're an evil person.

HBO Max is producing a series - one season per book. Iirc, season one already aired.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not yet aired. Scheduled for Christmas 2026.

Okay. I've been avoiding it like a plague. I unsubbed or blocked any entertainment content creators who said they were going to cover it.

Like others have said, you can't separate the art from the artist when consuming their art supports the artist's nefarious activities.

Everyone has been avoiding it. Right leaning want nothing to do with the revisionist crap it is going to pull and Left leaning see JK/the story as opposition to one of their standpoints.

It is meant to fail.
