NO MORE "NOW IN MODERN DAY" ADAPTATIONS.

istg if i see another smartphone in a movie based on a book written in 20th century that's NOT sci-fi and cannot possibly have smartphones in it i will riot. STOP! NO! YOU ARE BANNED FROM FILMMAKING! JAIL FOR 1000 YEARS!

no more gamer/gen z slang in movies based on kids books written in 1960s, no more smartphones in 1930s series reboots, no more 21st century buzzwords, we're using period-accurate language now.

#yes it's about the upcoming wizard of emerald city movie #i can excuse strasheela/scarecrow's roblox avatar-looking face but i draw the line at smartphones #why do they act like kids and teens wouldn't want to watch a movie if there's no modern slang and tech??#also if they try to pass it off as a “land of oz” movie when translating AGAIN (looking at you; studio melnitsa with your urfin jus movies)#- i will take it upon myself to translate and subtitle it in english while keeping the original context.#volkov's magic land and baum's land of oz are NOT the same and they are NOT interchangable. period.#stop acting like they are.#if you translate magic land media and try shoehorning it into oz canon then you are erasing the culture it came from.#same for translating oz media and trying to shoehorn it into magic land canon #let me say it again: baum's land of oz and volkov's magic land are NOT the same and are NOT interchangeable.#yes; wizard of emerald city is basically retelling wizard of oz BUT starting with their second books they both branch into different things
