    While I agree about Foundation, I really don’t know how anyone would properly adapt the book(s) and make something enjoyable to watch. The book is an important piece of sci-fi and inspired a lot of writers, but it really has aged like milk: it doesn’t even have a named female character until 3/4 of the way through the book, and even then it can’t pass the Bechtel test.

      Fans said Dune couldn’t be done. Time skip is easy given the popularity of anthologies.

      Gender swapping a character to modernize it is done all the time too.
