navyjack posted:Dark horse pick: Control. Hard to make a full series tho. A prequel before the events of the game would absolutely work and be relative easy to make. It could rip the X-Files structure wholesale. They can spend each other episode doing monster of the week and building up the Hiss metaplot or whatever.The FBC is just a office building set, and even the supernatural aren't too expensive. The dev studio obviously wants to make movie/TV too so they'd totatlly be down.

Perhaps, but Control is as much a metatextual commentary on videogames, where the Service Weapon marks the Director as an individual that is capable of and obligated to perform limitless violence against the "mutated" remnants of your coworkers. That thing only works in a videogame format, where you can draw attention to the absurdity of it even as you blast away at hordes of humanoids with weird glowly red bits on them. Also it needs the main character narrating everything in second person. Towards You. The Audience.

A pot of these adaptations are going to be prequels. The Bioshock one probably will be, the Horizon one definitely is. Uncharted was too, despite also riffing on the fourth game.

Shageletic posted:What happened to the game studio? Essentially a corporate takeover by the people who funded it. The original creators got kicked out. There's a lawsuit now on who owns the IP since it grew out of an tabletop RPG made by an art collective. So the studio ended in the most appropriate way possible considering EDs themes.

He then sold the show rights to Amazon and started putting out ads for monetization experts to help with the development of Disc Elysiums sequel while vaguely accusing the original creative team of a litany of "bad stuff" without anything concrete.

Shageletic posted:What happened to the game studio? Slowly being crushed as pawns of capitalism, most likely doomed. An awful turn of events, but kind of a poetics reflection of their game. It’s kind of a complicated ongoing legal affair that seems unlikely to turn out well for the original writers and involves (new) investors stealing from the studio in a manner that may turn out to be legally permissible via technicalities and… it’s kind of hard to tl;dr but Disco’s founding writers got fired by said new investors and are unlikely to regain control of the Disco IP. But they are fighting for it!

Bugblatter posted:Well, the HZD show is intended to be set primarily before the apocalypse with only a few post-apocalyptic vignettes. The post-apocalypse probably doesn't need that much effects work if it's kept small. Just shoot it around Sedona and add some robot dinos in a couple scenes. On the other hand learning about how the apocalypse happened was the most interesting part of HZD (and why I didn’t care for HFW story) so if they’re going to make a show on it, that’s the way to do it.

In the graphic novels there's a huge amount of high speed chaotic nonsense going on which must have been a nightmare to untangle. Arcane is another great video game adaptation, though it's more just taking a handful of the interesting characters and the game world and building a great story around them. https://i.imgur.com/kteH11C.mp4

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, I think we're agreeing with each other. And I think we are too and I'm just being unclear. I mean that you can't knock the show for your weird death-of-the-author interpretation not making sense. e.g. if you decide that Charlotte's Web is an allegory for The Dreyfuss Affair, you can't critique E.B. White for not making Wilber Jewish enough, it's on you to figure that out. I'm responding to people saying that the message is X and then saying, "Well, if X is the message, then they should've done Y," as an authorial critique. It's the difference between death of the author and just calvin ball.

Basically. It's jut really weird to be like 'THIS is the author's CLEAR INTENT' as an objective, factual statement based on a subjective reading of the material, and then using that assertion to springboard into criticisms about the writing, etc.

We have very different tastes, I thought the first season of the show didn't really know what it wanted to do (other than dance montages) other than a slam crash of a season finale (which I thought was done significantly better in the comic book). Arcane I dropped out after a couple episodes because I didn't like the characters or dialogue.

You signed up for this by ignoring authorial intent (which is valid), so you can’t use it to make statements about intent. The intent is gone, you got rid of it.

Xiahou Dun posted:I guarantee you that a dozen different versions of that crept in and were culled during various stages of production but I think they made the right call. I’m with you, I want to see that too, but I can’t imagine where it could go without just murdering the flow of the narrative and the tone. Melodrama and action are flavors that are hard to match at the best of times and there’s just no space in the narrative for it. Eh I think they could have slotted in a minute or two of badassery for Bill easy enough, just something instead of shooting from the middle of the road he was using spots he'd previously made into cover. I think they did Bill a teensy bit dirty by showing his gunfight tactic to be total rear end. And don't get me wrong, i get that's a fairly asinine criticism I'm making, and I don't think the episode is actually worse for not having more action, I just think it would have been satisfying to really show us the value in Bill's way of thinking, that he was able to keep his partner safe and dominate a gunfight because he'd gone through this scenario a million times. Also yea apparently there was a 2 hour cut originally and I would love to see it. Hilarious that they accidentally made a TloU movie about tertiary characters.

They should do that. I personally found in terms of how that action scene was presented was the raider doing a happy-spin dance in front of a still-blowing flamethrower for like 2 seconds was worse, it made me laugh.

Volte posted:We haven't even seen how anyone else in the world lives yet outside of the QZ so if we see a thriving community of people, will you complain that the show is contradicting itself? Tiggum posted:This reading is not contradicted by the text, but I don't think it's fully supported either. To go one way or the other I think we'd have to see an example of some group of people who are doing well because of community. So far the only community we've seen or heard of has been terrible and the only people doing well were living in their own private fortress. The fact that that made them vulnerable in other ways only suggests that neither option is ideal; we haven't seen what the authors' vision of the ideal solution would be (yet).

I don't know why I assumed otherwise but Linda Rondstadt (who I had never heard of before this episode) is still alive. Probably not in the show's universe, though. Actually, I hope they don't but I would laugh if they did something like Tom Petty in The Postman.
