That's why I dislike all the Foundation-related works after Second Foundation. They veer directly into Great Man Theory nonsense, with a side of misogyny that goes even beyond the original stories.
The AppleTV series is the worst of all. It's unrecognizable. Salvor Hardin is a brooding loner who fetishizes their gun, which is so fucking offensive to me. I'm perfectly fine with gender changes so long as the core of the character remains faithful to the stories. And that's just the start of the bullshit changes.
I was soooooooooooo disappointed with the Apple show. Why even buy the license if you're just going to make your own story? Fans of the books are just going to hate it anyway.
With the sole exception of much-needed gender swaps, it truly is baffling how badly the writers made every possible bad decision they possibly could have taken. I refuse to believe that they'd actually read the original books. Even people who aren't fans, but have read them at some point, know that everything happening on screen bears no resemblance to the books aside from that single courtroom scene.
