to add another layer of frustration: the book barely mentions appearance, leaving the concept of race quite vague. so ya, there's a lot of space for writers and producers to make it their own... it's especially frustrating that in made-up worlds that feature things like unfathomably large worms, hollywood can't see beyond tired depictions of race... like honestly, y'all. there's so much space to get interesting, to challenge previously accepted norms, to explore beyond our modern conceptions of race, and yet... here we are. thank you for your piece. this shit definitely needs to be called out.
