As far as adaptations go – I could see it better as an anime – more time, more format flexibility.
And – in great manga style – WAYBACK cuts to the early days of R.Daneel Olivaw. The later books are pointless w/out the pre-diaspora and empire of man books (stars like dust, etc) to set the stage.
ALL IT TAKES IS ONE BAD DAY TO REDUCE THE SANEST MAN ALIVE TO LUNACY. OF COURSE, IT TAKES ONE BAD DAY AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LINES OF EDITED INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN A CITY FULL OF LUNATICS TO LUNACY.

Stuff that I get doesn’t ‘splode!
Stuff that I get doesn’t ‘splode!
Same ol’, same ol’, tame ‘n’ lame ol’
Stuff that I get doesn’t ‘splode!
No need for sweating,
Because you’re forgetting
The smart money’s betting
That stuff that I’m getting
Won’t ‘splode!
GODOT now says there wasn’t
A bomb, like he told us there was!
It’s just a ruse, there is no fuse,
No countdown we have have to pause!
No digital counter to stop or pause!
He knew that the threat alone would cause
Would cause, would cause, would cause, would cause, would cause …
A breakdown of reason and civil laws!
GODOT now says there wasn’t

I mean – he acts like stabbing pencils into her ears to avoid his noise attack is stupid – but it both works and she knew it would be fine because she’s more the gunk inside the blood of UNITY than the body… so like – it’s not like it wasn’t a smart use of available resources…
I’m sure there was something non-destructive available that she could have stuffed into her ears that would have sufficiently dampened the sound. She just used the first thing she came to, as usual. And even for Unity, it’s dangerous, since her brain is the only living part of her body, and if she stabbed the pencils in far enough, she could damage it. Plus she’s going to have to replace the ears now that she’s ruptured them. So no, not exactly smart
Ha! I almost thought she was smart in that second panel there! Poor Unity, never gets to play with bombs.
GEE – I guess Mads operate just like Normals at the group dynamics level.
Harry Seldon would be pleased his theories held up.
There’s a rumor of a Foundation series movie. I am very sad for that.
Will probably just as successful as “The Last Airbender”.

It gets worse. Apple is creating a TV series of Foundation. Seen the trailer, completely fucking gobsmacked and not in a good way.
The mere suggestion…. Along with essentially rewriting all the text describing how to operate and repair things.
Yeah, seems like massive cheatery to pull that “mere suggestion” dodge after destroying the zombies’ food supply.
I read that as “repair thongs”
your version is more logical and less interesting

It’s not that she’s stupid- she just has the priorities and attention span of a 5 year old.

I still think she’s faking being Stupid!Unity in order to let GODOT talk itself into a corner.
So if there is no bomb and they’ve resolved the zombie problem, what’s left? I mean, aside from helping the mad AI with its existential crisis.
Poor U.N.I.T.Y. There, there. They don’t let me play with explosives, either.
It’s not like anyone was using that building! Sheesh!
