Some Guy TT posted:s07 e05 of voyager is about a planet where a robot decides how to allocate medical resources and the robot decides that cosmetic treatments for senior engineers are more important than life saving drugs for poor people when both require the exact same dtug AI for triage and resource allocation is absolutely something people have thought of and I am certain has been implemented in certain places. But you don't even need to use AI to make these exact decisions. The Voyager thought experiment is necessarily silly because it's obvious that life saving is more important than cosmetic surgery, but it's been possible for years before AI to game the system for transplants or other major procedures. I don't think the allocation questions are that complex, though, so using AI instead of just looking at patient insurance, ethnicity, class, etc. would just be a means to insulate the decision makers with "my hands are tied, the system made this choice" rather than explaining why the black patient died while Tommy Vandersloot IV had 3 ER docs attending to his cut chin.

I guess eventually there will be some resolution and Hermoine will be shown to have the correct viewpoint" and then it's just never touched on again. All that we get is Dobby accidentally getting freed and then murdered like 5 minutes later, and it's a big emotional moment for the cast. But only because he dies helping them

Is there a precedent for a complete remake, in the same medium, of a major film franchise like HBO's Harry Potter show? For all the remakes that Hollywood pumps out, a lot of them aren't complete remakes of existing franchises. Even the X-Men poo poo feigns some sort of continuity, and Star Trek 2009 explicitly shows the alternate universe being created in the prime universe.

Nichael posted:Is there a precedent for a complete remake, in the same medium, of a major film franchise like HBO's Harry Potter show? It really depends on how you define "same medium", since there's an argument to be made that television and film are different in terms of length, budget, how they approach serialisation etc. but you could squint and say Avatar The Last Airbender*, the Percy Jackson film/show, and there are probably a bunch of anime that fit too. It's trifling and redundant though. The HP films are so iconic that there's absolutely no point remaking them in recent memory, and like this thread has discussed there's no real confidence that Hollywood -- or, particularly, Warner Brothers Discovery -- would be capable of generating the kind of regular release schedule that would adapt the seven books in an eight year period. (Even accounting for some cleverness in how they approach the material, e.g. adapting two books a season, and releasing a season every two years.) * Man, say what you will about Shylaman's film (it's poo poo) but he's got a far better eye for using visuals to tell a story than the recent Netflix series. That the practical sets really kind of just make it a better experience IMO.

I kind of think the HP series will just languish in development hell and never premiere. It seems too desperate even by Hollywood standards.

This feels really weird because Harry Potter seems like it'd lend itself to a series way better than it did to the movies, especially when the books get too bloated to really adapt coherently. And it's never been a better time for serialised television. But the only practical way to do it would be animated and Hollywood hates that now, let alone boomer-rear end Rowling.

Sure, but I think it's still odd for the same reason Airbender's remake is odd. Or that live action Moana with some of the same cast.

I immediately thought of Contrapoints as well. And yes, a romance with a "bad boy" is one thing, but a war criminal? Entirely different.

on the one hand, it is probably better for weird thoughts like this to be expressed in fiction rather than being repressed until it comes out in some more harmful way. On the other hand, I think it is okay for people to see a novel about falling in love with a war criminal and go "drat you wrote this? Lol" In conclusion, the human mind and art are complex

Yeah people are a little in denial about it but romance novels are basically just longform porn with a literary figleaf on it. As we're all aware, porn without the figleaf features fetishes way weirder than this. The fact that it's being sold as a physical published book on Barnes and Noble dot com and about a real historical war crime team are what's attracting attention here; if it were just a fanfic about the Avatar Fire Nation or whatever nobody would bat an eye. In conclusion I think gawking is fine but leave the fetish lady alone

Not quite the same I guess but we're up to the third major adaptation of Dune? the fourth? Battlestar Galactica also springs to mind. There's also the shot-for-shot remake of Psycho. Spider-Man's been adapted/remade so often that there've been two major movies/series (No Way Home and the Spider-Verse movies) that are explicitly rooted in how many different versions of Spider-Man there are.
