@meghanstheworst Cosmonaut sucraM (evil) People say he would have been pissed off had he seen the movies, which he might have. But I will say that without them his books would have never gotten the attention and audience of modern generations. I certainly wouldn’t have known about the books if the movies didn’t happen.
