Murderbot Show!

[olivermoss]

We have a first look at how Murderbot will look in the show and a release date of May 16th here.

I was wondering when it would come out, I figure'd we'd get trailers and stuff way more in advance of the show. Also, I think it was originally supposed to be out last fall?

I am looking forward to this, but also intend to just not engage in most online discussions about it. Talking here is fine, but elsewhere? oof. I already know how some of the drama is going to go, and also I've been in fandom long enough to know that people will find a way to be super upset at the show in some way that I never would have predicted.

Murderbot wants to know why the hell they put a huge bullseye on its helmet. It thinks it knows why but it just wants to hear it out loud....

I am...sort of tentatively looking forward to this. I really feel like they could mess this up in SO many ways, but...I hope they don't. I mean...he doesn't look like MY Murderbot, but in the same way the Mickey17 movie doesn't look like a terribly faithful adaptation of the Mickey7 book, I'm willing to give it a go on its own merits.

I like how de-humanized the helmet design is. Hopefully, the show is good
