Trivia
After the release of the trailer
Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Discworld author
Terry Pratchett, commented on Twitter: "Look, I think it's fairly obvious that The Watch shares no DNA with my father's Watch. This is neither criticism nor support. It is what it is". Fantasy author
Neil Gaiman, who was a personal friend of Pratchett, added that fans like the source material "so if you do something else, you risk alienating the fans on a monumental scale. It's not Batman if he's now a news reporter in a yellow trenchcoat with a pet bat".

It's not just disappointing it's astounding just how wrong they went with this. Cheery, Detritus, The Librarian they're all painfully off the mark. Pratchett is hard to put on screen, I get it, there's so much in the subtext but blatantly changing the characters and story to the point that they're unrecognizable is unforgivable.
