I'm excited to see a new adaptation of one of my favorite books, but this has me concerned:

There’s already an incredibly impressive cast associated with the project, including James McAvoy, John Boyega, Sir Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton, Nicholas Hoult, and many more.

in an interview with The Telegraph, the series’ executive producer confirmed that the new show will “tone down the levels of on-screen violence to make it more appropriate for children,” while boosting the female parts from the original book (something modern critics have heavily critiqued). But won’t toning down the violence be missing a large part of the story’s point?

I get the censorship part, they can still tell a good story without getting too graphic.
The pandering has me much more worried. The fact that the main characters are almost all male really drives the narrative towards the end.

but it's just not necessary, IMO.
It's not a kids book, and no 7 year old has ever heard of watership down. This series is predominantly going to be aimed at adults who have read the book(s). They should keep it as close to script as possible I think.

I agree but parents (who haven't read the book) and kids will see cartoon rabits and automatically assume it's for kids.

I'd never heard of this until I saw it on Reddit earlier today. Is this a popular movie? A lot of people were acting like it was a rite of passage to be scared of it as a child.
