While some of the deviations from the book could have been good (the cloning of the emperor as a symbol for an ossified ruling class), the overall writing seems to just be getting worse. Characters and plotlines just make no sense, and the disappointment with what could have been done is reaching GOT Season 8 levels.
Maybe the worst for me is seeing foundation members argues if they should preserve water clock or sun dial technology. Only writers that have no understanding of science and technology could think of something like this, as they just pulled whatever they remembered from a high school project they once did.
Simple technology can always be reinvented by humans, if they have a scientific and engineering driven mentality, something everyone making these movies is missing.
