I'm completely baffled that nobody has jumped on doing a Drizzt series yet, I can only think they're stuck trying to decide if they want to do Elf Blackface (which would make people mad) or just hire a black guy to play Drizzt (which would make a lot of nerds furious because they're terrible and racist) edit: hahaha oh... oh no... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYL-cqnNfc4 precision fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Nov 14, 2017 |

Turns out there is an Amber adaptation in pre-production, or at least there was an announcement of one last year.

Oh God yes, the Merlin stuff is dire. -Blackadder- posted:That Amazon LOTR series is such an unbelievably lazy and bad idea, especially since, as has been pointed out, there are so many other works they could mine... Leaving aside the question of Gor's merits or lack thereof, I'm trying to think of a series less suited to the current climate. Maybe Xanth?

Honestly, I don't think Gillian would put up with his poo poo if he was a huge sleezy dirtbag. Everyone knows he wants to gently caress everyone already. That's no secret. I mean more the people who don't let any women into the X-Files writers room.

Attractive’s got nothing to do with it. But I’d like to think you can be a horny sonuvabitch and still respect personhood and the meaning of the word no.

I often wonder if the hopefulness and heroism in The Lord of the Rings would resonate as well in a cynical age, encapsulated not least by Game of Thrones. They’re such fundamentally different shows.

Anyway, in regards to Gor, the same could be said of Conan/Robert E. Howard Universe, which in addition is also pretty racist. Personally, I'm just sick of all of the adaptions of tepid, lovely modern YA novels by first time writers with zero talent, and just want to see some good classic sci-fi/fantasy series' done. And if the writers have to sanitize the source material of some of these adaptions so that, for example, Elric doesn't want to Melnibone his own cousin, then I'm perfectly fine with that, as long he still get's to summon demons to make blood pacts with and turn people into puree with Stormbringer. And afterall It turned out just fine despite the incredibly unfortunate loss of that one pivotal scene of extremely important character development. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Nov 14, 2017 |

So Amazon spend $250 million to acquire the rights to make the show, and that's before production has even started. A show like this will probably be at least $100 mill per season right? These costs are staggering.

Is netflix still doing the Witcher series? I really hope they don't gently caress it up. e: Also I could see a Forgotten Realms show being expensive otherwise it would be super gaudy. You can't walk three feet in that world without tripping over some crazy magic or uber powerful artifacts. But I don't really know a ton about effects and stuff so I could be talking out my rear end.

Thanks to the folks who encouraged me to keep watching Gotham. I was bullish on the first couple episodes but man the latter half of the first season got real grim and way less focused on the kids. This'll fill my "I feel like watching something and I like comics so...." niche real well.
