That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....

All of 6th grade level science is to be looked upon with superstitious dread:
Chlorophyll.
The water table..
Frog dissection...
It was the poster board used for science fair presentations what killed the baby Jesus
Yeah, they don't really seem overly concerned with maintaining electoral majorites. Or the vote. Or the rule of law. Or the Constitution, etc...
We destroy capitalism or capitalism (finishes) destroying us. Appear to be the only two options available.
Boring, slow incremental progress is great. Not ideal, but great.
However, a two-party system where one party is ALWAYS a single lost election from the advent or fascism is a democracy too brittle to survive.
Won in 2012
Won in 2018
Won in 2020
Won in 2022
And this is where it got us.
So.. They are just going to pretend he's mentally sound, and for as long as they do, this shit just gets worse and worse until we all die from it.
Salient points, all.
Yeah... Finally got around to reading Hamlet and "it's just a bunch of cliches"
But my main reservation with this adaptation is not which artistic choices are being made or the direction they decide to take things or even the difficulties in adapting the story (actually argued the other side of all this in FAVOR of the latest Dune) - and more that the source material was (likely) chosen simply for being a rich vein of dork-culture ore, one intended to be quickly and easily processed into a homogenized block of monetized consumer content..
The end result, once stripped of all pedigree and drained of any residial artistic expression, left as little more than a thumbnail to be scrolled past and forgotten alongside other milquetoast sci-fi projects like Travelers, or Continuum, Solo, etc..
An adaptation with nothing to say; "art" as a meaningless multimedia content experience
Assuming the other half is where they plan to install the oil derricks...
Neuromancer without devolving into self-parody...
What was that bit about trying to read Hamlet and deciding it was just people sitting around in castles speaking in cliches?
I mean, if they can make a 3rd adaptation of Dune: The Consumable Content Experience then I'm sure someone can find a way to make a Neuromancer that would be me than just a generic block of media - greenlit while pointing to the mere existence of The Peripheral as financial onus.
Maybe next time then.
