Pratchett’s Discworld deserves the Marvel treatment. If I had a few billion, I’d be all in.

Reading selected novels for the 3rd pass. I get that much wouldn’t translate to screen, but plenty enough would. We have an abundance of genius in Hollywood to pull this off. Take LOTR and Harry Potter for fantasy examples.

Heinlein experimented with loads of governmental and social structures, Starship Troopers was one such experiment.

Nailed it. If Heinlein loved fascism because he wrote Starship Troopers, how the hell does one explain Stranger in a Strange Land?!

Maybe he was simply a fascist, tree-hugger, authoritarian, free love, socialist, commie, right-wing, left-wing nutcase? I grok a wrongness.
