@nileane@nileane.fr @BenRiceM@mastodon.social My hope is that it will encourage more awareness of how horrific her actions have been and how engaging with the franchise is now very toxic. It could also just be a terrible show which would make everyone ask why we’re still doing this franchise. But let’s be honest, these hopes are exactly that. No guarantee any of it will happen.

@nileane@nileane.fr @jonathanreed@techhub.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social I actually think it probably won't be as overwhelming. I mean, YouTube is going to be insufferable but IRL... A Knight Of Seven Kingdoms is universally beloved, is a Game Of Thrones spinoff and is a quick easy watch and not even that managed to get much traction. The biggest splash it made was very online imdb score drama. Potter might make bigger headlines, but nothing is like as big as Lost was where everyone you knew was watching it and it was watercooler talk. So I take solace in that. Might be copium on my part but yeah, I do actually think even if the show is successful it won't be that big. Kinda like both the Dune and LOTR shows.
