The Foundation has just introduced another crossing element to this film Will Smith 2004

Foundation Continue to present Elements that connect the television series to another Isaac Asimov adaptation from 2004And a prequel is even more necessary. Isaac Asimov Foundation Books are one of the most notable shared universes in speculative fiction, because they are linked to its other series: Galactic empire And Robot.

THE Foundation The novels serve as the basis for adaptation by Apple TV + of the same name, but Foundation The end of season 2 began to incorporate more elements from the other books. These elements are mainly centered on the bottom frame of Demerzel, which revealed her to be a survivor of the AI of the Robot Wars, which destroyed most of its genre.

Demerzel is an adaptation of Robot Character R. Daneel OlivawA character who uses the cover of “Eto Demerzel” to become the Prime Minister of Cleon I in the tradition of Asimov. Although she has many differences from her book counterpart, Demerzel is an integral part of connective tissue that connects the stories of the author of prolific science fiction.

Season 3 of the Foundation presented the Zeroth law of robotics

The Zeroth law develops the three laws of robotics

Foundation The first in season 3 presented a concept called Zeroth Law of Robotics. This is one of the most emblematic ideas of Asimov’s books, establishing a precedent for AI in science fiction for decades. First of all, You have to understand the three laws of roboticsThe three rules by which robots were built, including the famous first law of robotics:

• “A robot cannot injure a human being or, by inaction, allow a human being to injure himself.”

• “A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except when these orders would be in conflict with the first law.”

• “A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection is not in conflict with the first or second law.”

Demerzel explains that the Zeroth law was created organically by robots in response to their programming, with the general concept that “Humanity as a whole is placed on the fate of a single human. This law may seem essential for a larger part of the Demerzel background, but it is also decisive on the way in which The Foundation The future is likely to be played.

We know that Demerzel is forced to serve empire as part of the chip which was placed at the back of his neck by Cleon I. However, the Zeroth law will force her to prioritize humanity as a whole, which she can see in her entirety through the radiant Prime, which gave her Hari Seldon in season 2.

At one point, Zeroth law can allow him to break with cleon. This has already allowed her to harm humans in the television series, but now that she has the Radiant bonus (given to him by Hari Seldon), she will know exactly how the genetic dynasty falls and can make a choice, sacrificing cleon for the good of humanity.

Me, robot is connected to the foundation

The two stories take place in the shared universe of Asimov

As for the Will Smith connection, it should be mentioned that we have already seen an adaptation of Isaac Asimov Robot series. THE Film 2004 Me, robotFor better or for worse, is an adaptation of equipment that is in the same fictitious universe as Foundation. Of course, these two Hollywood projects are in no way connected.

Season 3 of the Foundation can change the history of Asimov as much as it wishes, but it must keep the most exciting part of the Apple TV + science fiction program

The Apple TV + Foundation has already made major changes in source equipment, and that doesn’t bother me if it continues as long as it remains so good.

The differences between the film and the Robot The books are numerous, to the point where the film Will Smith could be unrecognizable for readers. That said, it is can always provide a plan (or a “what not to do”) if Apple TV + has always wanted to continue an extended Asimov universedrawing from his other successful books.

What we know about robot wars in the Apple TV + foundation

The wars of robots arise from the ill -treatment of humanity of the AI

By referring exclusively to what we know of the television series, the robot wars were a series of conflicts of several centuries fighting between humans and robots. He came from Robots growing up to feel humanity after years of subordination and ill -treatment, with robots seeking to be considered equal to people. As exposed in FoundationHumanity has won the conflict.

Using the Zeroth law as context, Demerzel explains how robot wars started, offering the public an overview of how its species thinks. The robots have been scheduled to support humanity, but The three laws of robotics and Zeroth law may have developed contradictions that change the world.

Demerzel could direct a foundation prequel based on the robot series

There is a lot of room for the Asimov spin-offs

I don’t know exactly how much Foundation Played on Apple TV +, but the Technology Streamer company seems to encourage its low -budget projects with several seasons, despite everything. Extended fictitious universes are the popular trend with speculative fiction in the 2020s, and If Apple puts its tokens FoundationThere are a lot of Asimov stories on which to rely.

The return of the Foundation obtained the third season of the Apple TV + Space Opera at the start of the flight which promises more of the same thing in the coming weeks.

THE Robot The series has been previously adapted, but it has not yet received a modern iteration worthy of its genius. NOW, When AI is more widespread in society than ever, examining the revolutionary perception of Asimov robots could be attractive to the publicEspecially if it is connected to another, an epic science fiction series like Foundation.

R. Daneel Olivaw was introduced into the Robot series book Steel caveswhich was published four years later Me, robotSo if Demerzel had to be involved, it could be a starting point. However, this could be separated from a Robot the spin-off, which could extend the world of Foundation in a fascinating way.
