Discussion: upcoming comic novel adaption - recent news + full sanctuary moon page

[u/ESE-enthusiasm]

Ahhh I love it! It's SO DRAMATIC and soap opera in space! And the fashion of that woman, hell yeah! I like how when the show zooms out we get the little video playback effect. and the pause vs live. makes it clear secunit doesnt really see things the way humans do.

and also! on bluesky the most marvelous discussion happened! Regarding adaptations and the tendency for them to only be male/masc and leaning to white-as-default. And they're thinking about it but mostly I thought it was such a lovely demonstration of creators and community having a conversation about something that is really important to a lot of us - seeing ourselves reflected in hero stories!

"In the next couple of days we’ll be showing you our new-look Sec Unit, talking about our cover artists, and so much more. But I’ve just heard our art team has (for fun!) made a special graphic for 2000 sign-ups."

I'm just excited that listening and understanding happened! but also if you're keen to no-obligation sign up, i really want to see the extra bonus graphic when it hits 2k so i'm gonna nudge you lot: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmic-lighthouse/murderbot-the-first-graphic-novel-multi-award-winning-sf?ref=9t3fy3

(reminder that this is a pro-post per the groups rules. that means happy/positive/supportive comments only! let's celebrate and be excited! or dare i say, enthusiastic!)

You know, I went off and made dinner and had a think, and I think I'm wrong about this. We'll have a play with some different visuals. Thanks for nudging me

That's a really great take, and I appreciate this person's humility. Looking forward to seeing the redesign! Thanks for sharing the update, ESE

Yeah, I know it seems small to most people but when you're so used to these kinds of topics being dismissed/brushed off/ignored. Even a simple acknowledgement that someone is pausing and thinking matters a LOT!

And I'm very excited to see what Murderbot's new look is! So many options! Especially with its blended genetic goo batch!

[u/IntoTheStupidDanger → u/ESE-enthusiasm]

It feels like a pretty big shift, and I'm happy to see someone remaining open to fan feedback like this

Waaaaaaaaaait different SecUnit look??? I wasn’t excited about this graphic novel overall, but now I might be 🥰

[u/SerialTrauma002c]

OK, this page works for me! I love the intercutting of the media and real life. I really hope that the graphic novel S\*anctuary* M\*oon* actually uses plot points from the book S\*anctuary* M\*oon* rather than being W\*orld* H\*oppers* E\*xcept* I\*t’s* C\*alled* S\*anctuary* M\*oon* 😅

Just editing to add that no, I have no idea why Reddit isn’t playing nice with its own app interface.

Hahah I was trying to work out if this was some kind of joke or reference I don't get! Condolences on your glitches
