The people I really feel sorry for are the producers, directors, actors and crew. It’s not their fault.
He’d been the rare Creative Dude to assert a position of seeming creative control for several high-dollar projects, at several major streamers. J Majors threw the world’s single biggest monocultural thing for a loop, but the turning over of the Gaiman egg basket might be even more chaotic
I want there to be a secret third option for appreciating good works of horrible people without rewarding the horrible people but I'm not smart enough to come up with it. Steal it when they do bad is the best I got but that's not exactly a sustainable solution
Well guess we know what's happening to 2nd season of Sandman
I feel bad for the cast/crew who were depending on the work. They did nothing wrong. However I don't see how I could watch it now.
Just realized/wondering if the Pratchett estate might have stepped in here.
I imagine it will be contractually difficult to continue without him, but (as an audience member who enjoyed the show) I selfishly hope they’re able to figure out a third season. Or maybe it’s contractually very simple to kick him to the curb, just expensive.
I did love that show. Oh well.
I wish I felt like I knew what the right thing is here. This doesn’t feel particularly like justice when I doubt Gaiman will miss the money but I know some queer teenagers from religious backgrounds who will really really mourn this story’s loss if it gets cancelled.
interesting that Amazon cracked before Netflix (halting an adaptation of the graveyard book is not really on the same level, but I'll give Disney credit for technically being first).
