so chris columbus (harry potter director from 20 years ago) who not only called jkr's transphobic views "very sad" has just publicly asked "what's the point" of the new reboot after seeing pictures of the new cast in costume. because the reboot is just. unashamedly evoking every bit of cash cow nostalgia by literally using the same costuming choices and art direction of the original films that he established, while simultaneously claiming to distance itself from his work.
like i know that we all know it's a shameless cash grab by Miss Transphobia to fund more bullshit, but it's just so transparent that it's a creatively empty project whose audience consists of people who want an overbloated line-by-line adaptation, but who don't have enough object permanence to handle a series that is meaningfully or creatively different from what they saw 20 years ago as babies. like the people making the show and the people it's being made for are beyond stupid. that's all i can say.
