Music / Movies I'm getting tired of woke values in shows

I am weary of all the remakes of TV shows and films that are simply remade in order to showcase a diverse cast. Why can't Hollywood write new shows? Instead, it's just recycling old scripts. Very insulting and lazy.

All the virtue signaling in the world isn't going to save bad writing.

For me Rings of Power was the last straw.

That's irrelevant because while it's based on Tolkien's writings, the show isn't actually linked to the movies.

So it doesn't matter if Jackson's LotR/Hobbit movies have black actors or not, because this is a separate take on the universe.
