But wait, there's another petition to keep D&D off of Star Wars.

Sign the Petition

Best comment so far from that link:

We need a more diverse and thoughtful crew of better writers to do Star Wars.
D & D handled diversity and rape terribly on Game of Thrones. Despite George RR Martin’s book taking place in a time period and world where slavery did not have to do with race, D & D still succumbed to subconscous mental conditioning that the freed slaves need to be cast as black and brown people while the rest of the actors (with very few minor character exceptions) are white. This created a deep white savior narrative with Dany freeing the slaves and them calling her “mother”. Then Missandei who is the only black woman gets executed only for the purpose of pushing along Dany’s plot, which was rushed and nonsensical anyways. Two cases of rape on the show were handled so badly in that they were painted where the woman who was raped got over it quickly and fell in love with her rapist (or was already in love and it didn’t really affect the relationship). This is referring to Dany’s rape by Khal Drogo and Cersei’s rape by Jaime (he was actually viewed as “more righteous” in that scene and afterwards because she is a “hateful woman”, so I guess it’s okay to rape a “hateful woman” as long as “the Gods have made you love her”.

So long story short, they should not be responsible for the writing of major films with this much cultural impact. We need to have more women and people of color on these writing teams, production teams, and directorial positions, period.

Yes let me sign it.
We have to mess up their coins

More than 1.471.100 pissed-off keyboard warriors have “signed” a Change.org petition calling for a remake of the last season of HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s beloved fantasy books.

I don't know if they'll make a tv show but the second GRR Martin is finally done with his books, movie studios are gonna be on him like starving dogs on fresh meat. We're gonna have like 5 movies at least.

Yep! Hopefully they make it into a movie series, a film for each book like how they did LOTR and Harry Potter

I don't watch the show but that's honestly so fµck!ng embarrassing. I couldn't imagine being a fan and supporting a show and the producers just don't give a fµck and put total bµllsh!t out. I wonder if they're embarrassed that 1 million+ people are dragging the fµck out of them for it?

Now the target is 3 mil? So they're just gonna increase the target indefinitely? Idk what I expected but not this...

Edit: oh, he's just hoping HBO will contact him eventually. I think they'll just wait it out .

What do they even want to do with that petition? Send it to HBO? The president already dismissed it in an interview...

Yeah, but what happens, if the same amount of people who watched the series, sign it?

At least they will think twice, before they do such sh!t with another show.

From what I understand the creator of the petition had a GoFundMe and was collecting money and idiots actually donated money! It wasn't much but still.

The petition guy did make a post saying that no one has to send him money because it has nothing to do with the petition, but they can help him pay his personal bills via gofundme. He deleted the link now though

Keeping them away from Star Wars? Heck, I don't care. But I'd love to see an alternative S eight!
Did GRR Martin himself really start that petition!?

Hbo still wouldn't give us a remake, thus acknowledging S 8 was crap. They still have merch to sell.

I saw that. As well as his comments crying about being dragged by an online mob after putting so much effort into his petition. e4

As a viewer you have every right to voice your displeasure and drag the creators as you wish—and yes it's cathartic—but the lack of self-awareness from this guy is legitimately staggering.

I was re-watching ATLA and I kept thinking, imagine if GoT had managed to be as consistently incredible as that animated series.

That's too bad. The character arcs in ATLA remain some of the best I've ever seen in any viewable fiction.
