Great another great book series which will go down the drain in order to fulfill the 6% mob, rainbow people, in our woke society
Will they ignore the lore and bastardise it like the tv series ? I have a feeling they will .
So it's gonna be loaded with blacks and gays. More woke crap
Jeez....I hope they collapse! Disgusted! All these look alike movies should be stopped! Please WB! Get a real job!
Hopefully they can do a proper job, unlike Amazon. We need a palette cleaner after that embarrassment.
