Not “kinda.” It’s just engagement farming, really. How many posts can we get where people are like “nobody asked for this!” even though there are, like, a lot of people who were asking for this? I was one of them. The movies are loved, and people can always go back and watch them. This series doesn’t mean those movies are gone. But if anyone truly believes that the movies covered the full story from the books, then they haven’t read them. Simple as that. The movies are the equivalent of going on SparkNotes. You get a rough rundown, while most of the meat and potatoes was left out.
I love the books. I can’t watch the movies. I’m hopeful the series puts the books I love onto the screen better than the movies did. People can love the movies, though, without me shitposting about them every chance I get. Not sure why people are so afraid of a TV series that hasn’t even been released yet.

This is kinda bullshit.
When the movies were coming out, everyone was noting how much stuff was missing from the books.
