would make characters more self-conscious about their wealth and privilege, an alteration to the original series I’m not sure I can stand for on principle.
“These kids wrestle with their privilege in a way that I think the original didn’t,” Safran told the outlet. “In light of [Black Lives Matter], in light of a lot of things, even going back to Occupy Wall Street, things have shifted.] showed a little bit of wealth porn or privilege porn, like, ‘Look at these cars, or here’s a montage of the best plated food you’ve ever seen,’” he continued.
It makes sense for the series to have an awareness of the political events that transpired between 2012 and 2021—on some level, it’s almost impossible for it not to. And viewers will inevitably bring an understanding of the shifts that have occurred in that time, if only unconsciously. But Safran seems to misunderstand the original intention of the show, which, it seems to me, was not to provide viewers with a neat moral lesson or role models to aspire to.
anything woke is prima facie good until proven otherwise.
