One of my all time favorite book series. Where is my Wang Miao from the books? The idealization of stoicism? The celebration of high intelligence and a plot, script and casting to cater to it unapologetically? Gone, replaced by a plot simplified for the lowest common denominator, a script written by and for high school teenagers chatting about their physics class at an after game dance all with a mediocre at best cast that has almost all characters being race swapped and gender swapped to fit the “modern audience” propaganda. Of course, the unsubtle vitriol of white men is present throughout.
To those hoping to get a taste of the mental stimulation and thought provoking ideas, move on. This Netflix TV series doesn’t have an intelligence to even copy greatness or the fortitude to show the doom of humanity brought on by feminine decision making and the feminization of men.
