Part 5/7:
The teaser’s comments section quickly filled with accusations that Amazon was attempting to pander to a woke agenda rather than respecting the source material. Dislike counts soared to over 21,000 dislikes in just a short time, echoing the community’s displeasure and skepticism.
Timing Indicates Lack of Confidence
Remarkably, the Season 2 premiere is scheduled for August 29th, merely a couple of months away from the teaser’s release. This short window suggests that Amazon is aware of significant backlash and is attempting to mitigate further damage by rushing the release. Historically, studios tend to promote seasons more heavily if they are confident in their success; here, it indicates Amazon's awareness of the potential failure and their attempt to minimize the fallout.
