vikings turned into game of hornes wannabe and it's even worse then before
What happened to HBO? Why can't they make good content anymore? Deadwood, The Wire, The Sopranos. Now we've got Westworld and Game of Thrones. Seriously, what the fuck went wrong?
Anything that is ever billed or built up as the next -insert X popular series- is almost always universally trash.
I'm posting the whole article so nobody has to go click it.
>Lord of the Rings
>Amazon is committed to produce a five-season series based on The Lord of the Rings in partnership with Tolkien’s estate and the various rights holders of the Rings and Hobbit film series. According to various reports, it will focus on a younger Aragorn, who roamed the lands of Middle-earth as a Dunedain ranger under various names like Strider and Thorongil. Those journeys will see him meet Arwen and visit Minas Tirith – his eventual capital city – for the first time. Thanks to the terms of the contract, the series must be in production by 2020, so we expect the first season to debut in 2021.
>In February 2019, Amazon teased fans with a beautifully illustrated interactive map of Middle-earth extending into the far east region not included on maps Tolkien made himself, though he sketched out some topography for the area in his notes. The streaming platform also included this enigmatic quote from Tolkien’s Ring Poem: “Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky.” To fans, it suggested a Second Age setting, as that was the time in which the Elven rings were made, and a focus on areas not covered in Tolkien’s work. It seemingly contradicts the above report about the series centering on a young Aragorn. But as he ventured far and wide across Middle-earth in his younger years, it is possible this is his map.
>Good Omens
>David Tennant and Michael Sheen star as the serpent and the angel, respectively, while Jon Hamm is Archangel Gabriel, Frances McDormand plays God and, Gaiman revealed February 13, Benedict Cumberbatch will appear as Satan. Actors Jack Whitehall, Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, Mireille Enos, and Nick Offerman also feature in key roles. Filming is currently underway with Gaiman acting as an executive producer and showrunner. The six-episode series will debut on Amazon and then air in the United Kingdom on BBC Two. In October, Amazon announced it signed an overall deal with Gaiman, in which the award-winning writer will exclusively develop television series for Amazon Studios to premiere globally in over 200 countries and territories on Amazon Prime Video. So, we also have more to look forward to from Gaiman.
People choose careers they hate, they marry people they don't love, have children cause "why not"... of course they need the next GOT, and the one after that, and the one after the next... until death.
>Game of Thrones Prequels
>At one point, HBO president Casey Bloys said there could be as many as five prequel series after Game of Thrones completes its run this year. Developed with Martin and talents like The Leftovers‘ Carly Wray and Kick-Ass‘s Jane Goldman, multiple premises were in an informal competition for the broadcast slot. Goldman’s eventually won out. Said to take place “thousands of years” before the War of the Five Kings, Goldman’s prequel series will focus on the decline of the Age of Heroes and the descent into the first Long Night. Production is expected to begin this year, but the series will not air until Game of Thrones completes its eighth and final season.
>The cast announced so far include:
>Naomi Watts (The Impossible)
>Josh Whitehouse (Poldark)
>Ivanno Jeremiah (Humans)
>Denise Gough (Monday)
>Jamie Campbell Bower (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald)
>Sheila Atim (Harlots)
>Alex Sharp (How to Talk to Girls at Parties)
>Naomi Ackie (Lady Macbeth)
>Toby Regbo (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald)
>Georgie Henley (The Chronicles of Narnia films)
>And as for the other show concepts, two are said to still be in development with one focusing on the Doom of Valyria, a cataclysmic event that saw the Essos city destroyed and sent the Targaryens fleeing for Dragonstone.
Westworld S3
GoT reboot when??
Will people even want the next game of thrones?
Last season was so contrived that normalfags actually started waking up to it, and we all know D&D’s idea crayons are nowhere near up to making a satisfying ending.
>The Witcher
>Netflix picked up the rights to adapt the novel series back in May of 2017. The Expanse’s Sean Daniel and Jason Brown were announced as executive producers with Sapowski set to serve as a creative consultant. “I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over 30 years writing,” the author said at the time. In December 2017, Daredevil and Defenders co-executive producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich was hired to run the show and write the pilot script. In September, Henry Cavill (pictured above) accepted the lead role in the series as Geralt of Rivia. The news got people talking, particularly as it seems his commitment to the series may prevent him from returning to the role of Superman. In October, Into the Badlands‘ Freya Allan was cast as key supporting character Ciri, princess of Citra, while Anya Chalotra (pictured above) was added as sorceress Yennefer. Both characters will join Geralt in his journeys across the Continent in the 8-episode first season. Other cast members include Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe, Fortitude’s Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as Eist, Adam Levy as Mousesack, MyAnna Buring as Tissaia, Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla, Therica Wilson-Read as Sabrina, and Millie Brady as Princess Renfri. Directors for the series include Game of Thrones veteran Alik Sakharov, Luke Cage’s Alex Garcia Lopez, and Outlander’s Charlotte Brändström.
>It’s most like… A private eye in Middle-earth. With its large assortment of creatures and various city-states in uneasy alliances or all-out war, the Witcher series takes many of its cues from the same European mythological traditions as Tolkien. But Geralt proves to be a unique character in this milieu thanks to his reluctance to pick sides and dedication to his first job: killing monsters.
> Goldman’s prequel series will focus on the decline of the Age of Heroes and the descent into the first Long Night.
So.. literally Game Of Thrones retreaded
Beats some Essos bullshit full of nogs I guess
Nerd culture happened. The manchildren can't enjoy anything without at least a tiny element of fantasy or science fiction. That's why so many people like the first season of True Detective so much, but hate the rest of the series.
>The Chronicles of Narnia
>The seven Narnia novels by author C.S. Lewis, in which a group of WWII-era British school children gain access to a parallel realm known as Narnia. There, the Great Lion Aslan – a manifestation of Jesus Christ – teaches the children life lessons while giving them dominion over the land. The series eventually pivots from the Pevensie children to their cousin Eustace Scrubb, who goes from being a right git to a proper hero of Narnia. Santa Claus also makes a cameo appearance.
>On October 3, Netflix announced it acquired the film and television rights to the Narnia book series. The plan includes both films and television series, which suggests there may be a way to include the prequel novel, The Magician’s Nephew, in the story cycle. Mark Gordon, Douglas Gresham, and Vincent Sieber will serve as executive producers for the television series and as producers for features.
I'm still waiting for sci-fi kino, something like The Expanse but better
and with Space Pirates. Although The Expanse S3 introduced some space pirates, and the quality went way up.
>The Wheel of Time
>Amazon and Sony Pictures Television announced in February 2018 that they are developing the series in concert, and at a London press event on October 2, they announced that they ordered the one-hour action-fantasy to series, with Rafe Judkins (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Chuck), who adapted the novels for television, serving as showrunner and executive producer. Rick Selvage and Larry Mondragon of Red Eagle Entertainment, Ted Field and Mike Weber of Radar Pictures (Beirut, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) and Darren Lemke (Shrek Forever After) are executive producers. Consulting producer Harriet McDougal edited the Wheel of Time novels written by her late husband Jordan and is the current copyright holder.
>article is about game of thrones
>uses Aragon for the picture
Once I heard amazon was making a Wheel of Time tv series, I decided to start reading them since I knew the books would always be better. What a FUCKING ride. I started in October 2018 and am now already a quarter through book 6 of 14. So glad i did so, game of thrones is utter dogshit compared to the book series so I knew to get the real story before amazon shoehorns a bunch of blacks as main characters and forces lib propaganda down my throat
>His Dark Materials
>Philip Pullman’s epic trilogy — Northern Lights (published in the North America as The Golden Compass and adapted into a movie of the same name, pictured above), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass — centers on two children who grow up while journeying across parallel worlds, where they encounter talking armored bears and, of course, our world. Pullman’s story upends fantasy conventions and revolves on the notion that Original Sin is one of mankind’s greatest qualities.
>The British Broadcasting Corporation commissioned an eight-part adaptation of the entire trilogy in 2015. In April of last year, writer Jack Thorne said the program was still in preproduction and that he was still trying to balance “what works and what doesn’t” while maintaining as much fidelity to the books as possible. In September, Deadline reported that HBO had come on board to produce the series and had acquired worldwide rights to the series outside of the United Kingdom.
>It’s most like: Harry Potter with a healthy skepticism of organized religions. Pullman was surprised by the intense scrutiny the Potter books received from religious groups in the U.S. while his series openly criticized a Catholic form of government. Catholics eventually took notice and campaigned against the series’ film adaptation, 2007’s The Golden Compass. Produced by Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner — two of the people heavily involved in Doctor Who’s revival (88% Fresh) — the series may prove successful depending on how much compression of Pullman’s world is required to make it fit into eight hours of television.
I'd rather have a historical show about the Bronze/Iron Age (it was basically Game of Thrones except for fantasy elements). They could even make brown people good and white people evil, I don't care.
disney oversaturate the market with shitty star wars shows and others will be reluctant to make their own
>The Watch
>Based on: Elements from the 41 Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Set on a world that is really a disc held in place by four elephants standing on the back of a turtle, Discworld is both a parody of early fantasy works and a sweeping universe in its own right. Thanks to the series, Prachett was the U.K.’s best-selling author in the 1990s. While Discworld does not tell one single overarching tale, its characters weave in and out of story lines, with characters like Death receiving major ongoing tales and constant cameos.
>The BBC series will focus on the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. It is said to be a police procedural set in the major Discworld city, which will definitely set it apart from the likes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and NCIS. The program does not have a U.S. distributor yet, but you can imagine it will be scooped up quickly by Syfy or Netflix. Like Douglas Adams’ comedic sci-fi yarn, Pratchett’s work appeals to those with a wide sense of humor and a love of rich characters.
>tfw no caveman kino
That Troy show recently made by BBC was technically bronze age.
Honestly, I believe with the current public perception of Star Wars and with how shitty it is, that there's a big opening for a quality sci-fi series to take it's place.
There's a desire for it and it's not being fulfilled.
Writers and directors create the episodes for reactions and headlines.
It's impossible for you to be that dumb, you wouldn't even be able to solve the captcha.
So please, stop baiting.
>tfw no Sea People kino
>tfw no Aryan kino
>tfw no Celtic kino
So many unexplored topics.
This might be OK if they don't force "diversity" into it. It should've been an animated show.
Will we get to see the basis for his tax policy?
>This might be OK if they don't force "diversity" into it.
This will literally never be a thing again
Every major country that recording takes place in bases tax breaks on the diversity of casting
Literally a fact.
Yea Forums has basically been yelling at HBO, netfliz and the hollywood kikes to make book of the new sun into a movie or tv show for like a decade now
>if they don't force "diversity" into it
LOL
>The Magician’s Nephew
Please.
>still the only good bronze/iron age movie
>implying it won't be WE WUZ THE FIRST MEN AN SHIEEET
>Conan
>The stories of Robert E. Howard featuring Conan the Cimmerian who roamed a fictional “Hyborian Age” said to occur after the destruction of Atlantis, but before the rise of “modern” civilization. An accomplished warrior in his teens, Conan became a pirate, thief and mercenary before claiming the throne of Aquilonia in his forties by strangling the man who was sitting in it at the time.
>The fanbase includes everyone from fantasy authors like Robert Jordan to filmmakers like Oliver Stone and former president Barack Obama, as well as fans of the Conan films like 1982 Universal Pictures release Conan the Barbarian, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (pictured).
>Amazon is developing a series based more directly on Howard’s stories than later authors’ work or the Marvel Comics series of the 1970s and ’80s. Colony co-creator Ryan Condal hopes to reveal Conan’s search for a purpose, but the pilot will reportedly see him driven out of Cimmeria, possibly setting up his eventual fate on the Aquilonian throne. Game of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik (“Battle of the Bastards”) is set to direct the pilot.
Is this one instance where stripping away all the boldfaced Christian themes would actually improve the work?
>The Dark Tower
>Originally intended as a companion piece to 2017’s The Dark Tower film centering on the life of Roland (played by Idris Elba, pictured above, in the film) in Mid-World, King’s recent comments suggest the series will be its own separate attempt to adapt his work. Which, considering the film’s poor performance (17% on the Tomatometer), is probably for the best. Though still unconfirmed, The Dark Tower series is likely another part of Amazon’s push toward fantasy with former The Walking Dead executive producer Glen Mazzara reportedly writing the pilot script; although, tweets by Mazzara and Amazon’s head of event series, Sharon Tal Yguado, confirming those facts have since been deleted.
>The film’s rough showing is definitely a black mark against its potential as a series. But the sweep of the epic was always an ill-fit for the sort of movie Sony seemed interested in making. A full series, backed by Amazon’s money, could reveal characters and settings in a more successful and lucrative way. Plus, King is on a roll, between the success of the feature film It remake, which was Certified Fresh at 85% on 311 reviews and Hulu’s highly anticipated summer release of Castle Rock.
How will (((Netflix))) deal with the Christian themes of Narnia?
Imagine if they took the 1st movie's aspect, the Riddle of Steel, and expanded it with a TV series.
Would be kino if they could pull it off. But we all know they couldn't.
>Gormenghast
>Mervyn Peake’s mid-20th century novel trilogy — Titus Groan, Gormenghast, and Titus Alone — and the incomplete follow-ups centering on Titus Goran, reluctant heir to the immense Castle Gormenghast and the surrounding domain. But even as Titus grows up knowing he must eventually become a ruler, an ambitious kitchen boy plots his downfall.
>Gormenghast fan Gaiman and Star Trek: Discovery’s Akiva Goldsman are set to produce a new version of Gormenghast for FremantleMedia North America. The project, which was only announced two weeks ago, has yet to find a streaming platform or broadcaster it can call home. While the 2000 BBC adaptation of Gormenghast, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers (pictured above), focused on the first two novels, the new series will cover all three of Peakes completed novels and the two further stories he outlined prior to his death in 1957.
>never seen an episode of game of thrones
>won't read this article
>won't watch any of the listed shows
the next season of marco polo
>wanting (((Hollywood))) to adapt Christian lit
Is the show worth watching?
>super niche fan base
>expecting the main character to look like clint eastwood
>cast idris elbow
Shit was dead on arrival.
Alienated the core fanbase, and didnt draw in a new one
>Cursed
>The forthcoming novel by The Cape creator Tom Wheeler and illustrated by 300’s Frank Miller. It is a retelling of the Arthur legend though the eyes of Nimue, the Lady of the Lake as she journeys to deliver a sword to the wizard Merlin. Along for the ride is a young mercenary named Arthur. Netflix is developing a 10-part series alongside Wheeler and Miller’s final revisions of the novel. Both are attached to the project as executive producers, alongside Zetna Fuentes, who will also direct the first two episodes. In September, 13 Reasons Why’s Katherine Langford was cast in the lead as Nimue.
>The Kingkiller Chronicle
>Patrick Rothfuss’s as-yet incomplete trilogy – which began with The Name of the Wind and continued in The Wise Man’s Fear – and other works Rothfuss set in the same reality. The main series tells the tale of a famed scribe and biographer listening to the stories of an adventurer, arcanist, and musician named Kvothe, who appears to have settled into a retirement as an innkeeper.
>Lionsgate has been developing a series, film, and video game series based on Rothfuss’s novels since 2015. In November of 2016, Miranda signed on as a “creative producer” for the film and TV aspects of the project. The films – the first of which is to be directed by Spider-Man’s Sam Raimi – will concern Kvothe’s chronicle, while the TV series will explore other aspects of Rothfuss’s world. Both the author and Miranda are said to be developing characters for the series, which will air on Showtime when it finally emerges from development.
>The Broken Earth
>N.K. Jemisin’s novels about a world in which the single supercontinent, Stillness, is ravaged every few centuries by a dramatic climate change known as “The Fifth Season.” The most recent Fifth Season proved to be particularly bad, leading some to believe the end is at hand. The society of Stillness is broken into races, castes and species. Those divisions help and hinder the people’s efforts to weather the possible apocalypse. Set against this landscape is the tale of three women with the power to both calm and agitate seismic activity under Stillness. The first two books in the series, The Fifth Season and The Obelisk Gate, won the Hugo Award for best novel in 2015 and 2016.
>The Fifth Season was optioned by TNT in August of 2017 with Sleepy Hollow’s Leigh Dana Jackson set to write the pilot. Heroes’ Tim Kring was also set to serve as an executive producer. There has been no news since, but development on even a simple (from a design perspective) high-school drama can take forever.
Only if you have nothing else interesting to watch.
Already confirmed. These are the ancestors of the Starks and Lannisters who first defeated the Night King and built the wall in the north.
Why are feminists so fucking obsessed with shitting on Arthurian legend?
This one, because I read the series since I was a teenager and a tv show is pretty much a dream come true. I just hope it'll be okay.
Well, at least more than half are white. Could have been worse.
Pandering culture happened game of thrones sucks because it gives screen time to weaker actors based on yasss qween economics. Westworld is just full yass qween
No not at all the Christian themes make the book what it is you atheist edge fag
>ctrl+F
>no Amber
thank God it died in development hell
>THE GAME OF THRONES KILLER !!!!
How many times we heard, in videogames, the dota killer? the halo killer? the tf2 killer? the pubg killer? the destiny killer? everytime a company sinks money to make these true they end up releasing it when the market is oversatturated with samey looking tryhards and people moved on to the next thing.
Amazon LOTR will be the Lawbreakers of Yea Forums
Galadriel's Feet: The Series
Such a shame. Are we just doomed to watch as quality media is simply a thing of the past? It’s just diversity shit and marvel movies now.
You know Netflix invested into an entire section dedicated to christian shows, right?
fastcompany.com
>still no Mass Effect tv series
I mean it would probably be SJW riddled trash but they could at least try.
Why are anti-Christians so obsessed with shitting on Arthurian legend?
>Cursed is described as "a re-imagining of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a teenage heroine with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. After her mother’s death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther."[1] Netflix has described the series as a "coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible".[2]
The first law by Abercrombie. Not so difficult to shoot, there are stereotypical but memorable characters.
Sure it isn't apart of ?
Hold up, the watch is out of development hell?
Nerd culture going mainstream is what enabled the pandering culture in the first place. Just check the timelines.
yes
>Sam Raimi
>with this as his material
Please let it happen.
I want the wave of shitposting.
>How many times we heard, in videogames, the dota killer? the halo killer? the tf2 killer? the pubg killer? the destiny killer?
I've never heard that because I'm not a child that plays video games.
In a just world a faithful LOGH live action series would be the killer, but sadly we live in a JUSTED world

Where is my evil Aryans kino? We learned so much in the last few years.
>evil white people genociding and raping more intelligent but weaker brown people and then being defeated by the Mexican MC
It will fit well into modern political climate.

>staying true to the source material
How are they doing this if their blacking the cast, lol
Someone invaded Britain 4500 years ago and killed absolutely everyone then recolonized the land with their own people.
Someone invaded Spain 4500 years ago and killed absolutely every man but for some mysterious reason didn't kill the women.
What's this about?
GoT went into production and aired its first 2 or 3 seasons before SJW, anti-straight-white-male horseshit was still mostly confined to Tumblr and hadn't really spilled into the rest of the Internet.
There won't be a next Game of Thrones, because things don't happen the way they used to and because actively trying to make something the next anything never works.
It's a Harry Potter tier story
Interesting.
Guarantee you Anathema and at least two of the kids will be black. Like it's pretty much guaranteed.
Indo-Europeans came to Britain and repalced 90% of its gene pool. Blue guys were farmers who lived there before Indo-Europeans.
In Iberia similar thing happened, but the invaders mixed with the locals, replacing only males. Y-chromosome is passed from father to son.
In short, the past was violent as fuck. People who made stonehenge got genocided 100 years later. In Spain all males were genocided and their women mass raped. This event produced modern Spaniards.
So Spaniards are aryan/roman/moor rapebabies?
>Showtime
You don't really know what the Bronze or Iron Ages were like if you think they have any resemblance to Game of Thrones
It's the other way around. I don't know what Game of Thrones is. I know it only from Yea Forums, I haven't watched or read it. But I always assumed it's kinda like Conan the Barbarian with various tribes and kingdoms fighting against each other, there are apparently even some steppe people like Scythians or Cimmerians.
>Indo-Europeans came to Britain and repalced 90% of its gene pool
Fake
Shallan is the best female character in fiction, prove me wrong
I want to see the Doom of Valyria series. I have a lot of questions regarding what happened there.
Magicians Nephew and a Horse and His Boy please
Arthurian myth is anathema to liberals, women and zoomers for the same reason LOTR is, so of course they need to destroy it to suit their own warped anti-values.
Tolkien himself thought Narnia was garbage because of how poorly implemented the Christian themes were handled not to mention how amateurish all the other mythological elements were handled.
He didn't think it was garbage
Generally Europoos are a mix of three populations - original hunter gatherers, farmers from Turkey and "Aryans" from Russia.
Hunte gatherers lived in Europe since the Paleolithic, in the Neolithic farmers came with their families and settled among them, sometimes mixing with them. Then around 3000 BC Ruskies from the steppes came raped everyone, burned forests to make pastures for their cows and introduced a more mobile way of life (settlements mostly disappeared and people lived in tents or something).
I'm disinclined to believe this just because Tolkien and Lewis were besties
One way or another, you're retarded then.
>Paladins
>King Uther
hacks
True. The guys who came were already mixed. And Britain received additional southern ancestry somewhere in the Iron Age. Bronze Age Britain was more northern than modern one.
non they are all gona be SJW garbage i have lost hope
Where's my Malazan "the Thinking Man's Fantasy" adaption?
i dont think any of those shows will be very popular. the only show that i can see getting very popular soon is the expanse, but not GoT levels of popularity
>Glad you could make it, Uther.
I don't understand why people keep saying this since The Expanse has already been on TV for a few years and isn't popular at all
I thought this was interesting. I haven't read the books, but I really found it to be fun and a bit scary actually. The movie seemed like it left a lot out. I have a lot more questions after watching it than I did before I watched it. I would be up for a series.
because it was on a dead network that no one watches, now its on amazon
Why is this not a show yet? Powerful female characters, black people, LGBTQ shit, a fantasy world more interesting than LotR. It's fucking prime for a modern gay audiance
Are you serious or what?

The most well-known secondhand account is certainly Green's. In 1974, he published a joint biography with Walter Hooper entitled C.S. Lewis: ABiography. In it, Green recalls that after Lewis had shared the opening chapters of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe with Tolkien, "who had disliked it intensely," Lewis then read it to Green. Shortly after, Tolkien saw Green and remarked, "I hear you've been reading Jack's [Lewis's] children's story. It really won't do, you know! I mean to say: 'Nymphs and their Ways, The Love-Life of a Faun'. Doesn't he know what he's talking about?" (qtd. in Green and Hooper 241).1 G reen provides no explanation of w hat Tolkien meant; how ever, this has not prevented critics from interpreting Tolkien's comment.Joe R. C hristopher observes that Nymphs and their Waysis one of the books w hich appears on Mr. Tumnus's bookcase in Chapter II of The Lion. According to Christopher, Tolkien w as bothered by this scene because Lewis was distorting and sentimentalizing the myth ("Narnian Exile" 41). He suggests, "[I]f Lucy had really met a faun —that is, a satyr—the result would have been a rape, not a tea party"
YASS based strong feminists killing evil Christian men
rafe judkins has already started talkin about how hes going to change it to be more diverse and pandering
also red eagle is still attached. its going to be shit no matter what. they've sat on the licensing for decades and never done anything except a insanely bad small pilot that was filmed on a shoestring budget and played at like 2 in the morning on tbs ten years ago
simply to keep the franchising rights and stop someoen who actually wanted to make the series from gettin it.
so we have a showrunner that wants to ruin the series for sjw points and the controller of the ip who doesnt give a shit and will give all his ideas a green light
be ready for lan the black lesbian
rand the transgender
and for all the women of the series to always be right and shown to be doing the right thing despit the series going out of its way to prove how hardheaded they are and how they will believe their right even to extremes which nearly lets the dark one win multiple times
Who would Idris Elba play?
Anomander Rake? Quick Ben?
Kalam
your about to hit the slog
alot of people dont like the middle books 7-9 i believe
i didnt find them that bad, but just be ready for the plot to slow to a crawl and alot of the character to dissapear for several books at a time
The Night watch is kino, so hope this turns out well
So does gurm, and so do d&d, probably
This is just filth. Why do they have to 'twist' and 'reimagine'? It's my culture they are shitting on. Filthy kikeflix.
Also red paladins sets off some historical autism.
wont even pirate it
imagine aspiring to create a show with four decent seasons and three really bad ones
Shit. About time I got around to reading that copy of Good Omens I've had sitting around for ages. Forget why I ended up not doing it when Pratchett died.
It was regularly in 8th or 10th place on the dead network no one watches.
>atheists
it made tons of money annon and that is the main point for them
Way too long and complicated. The nepotism appointed showrunners would never be able to pull it off, nor would the get the budget for 10+ seasons.
Maybe Neil can talk to Warners and get us an Amazon funded Sandman series.
You could say that about Game of Thrones
Do it, it's awesome.
>Memphis Belle flashbacks
>Narnia
>Netflix
I want to see how big of a trainwreck this will be
A friend of mine loves this series.
>Gormenghast fan Gaiman
Nice.
>and Star Trek: Discovery’s Akiva Goldsman
aaaaaaaand DROPPED
They could probably pull off the first two but how would you film all the Pannion shit in the third.
only up to Reaper's Gale btw no spoilers
Will feature those blacks from that George Lucas movie about WWII airplanes?
You're wrong because clearly Veil > Shallan
To bad it will get shit on for being a white male pic
god bless capitalism
Gormenghast were always one of my favourite novels series and I'm looking forward to what Gaiman can do with it.
I don't think the Pannion plot would be too difficult. Things later down the line on the other hand, oof. Better question, who could play Karsa?
>from the forthcoming novel by The Cape creator Tom Wheeler
say it with me
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE
Maybe Lewis should've taken some inspiration from his pal Tolkien and actually created a believable and fleshed out universe and incorporating his Christian beliefs into them naturally instead of beating you over the head with them and making them the SOLE reason the world exists to put them on pageantry.
>illustrated by 300’s Frank Miller.
Maybe he's better after his cancer bout, but Miller has barely produced any art in recent years. Did he ever come out with more than a half issue of art for Xerxes?
Remember that time a TV studio cynically created a cash-in on Star Wars mania but it was shit and nobody watched it so they immediately canceled it but then they rebooted it as a budget friendlier "set in the present day" spinoff but then nobody watched that either so it also got canceled and then the franchise languished for a quarter of a century until a grimdark reboot was made that was actually a huge hit but carried on long after the writers ran out of ideas and then they tried to make a prequel to that and it flopped and got canceled so they tried to make another prequel to that and it also flopped and got canceled?
That was fun.
>5 books + fan fiction vs 10 long ass books with far more important characters and plot lines
I see your points, but GoT is trash now and Malazan would be worse in the hands of the two hacks.
I agree, but I just want to see my favorite characters on screen, regardless if it's bad or not
tolkien himself is garbage
lotr is the worst fantasy ever written and he desperately needed a ghostwriter, worldbuilding was his only skill
I read the first volume a long time ago. What I remember is he goes all over the place and it's very visual so the budget would be extreme. Maybe they should just make it animated to fix that problem. The bad thing is American animation isn't known for doing shows for adults that aren't comedies.

WHY CAN'T WE GET DUNK AND EGG. I WANT MY FUCKING DUNK THE LUNK AND SASSY PRECOCIOUS BALDIE.
>500 million

I wonder what this will be about
no, it wasn't. it was pretty much always in the top 3 for airing shows. most of the audience streamed it and every week it was the #1 show for that, guy playing alex said it himself
What are some Arthurian movies/shows that don't shit on the legends?
LITERALLY only Excalikino
My memory of the Arthurian legend is rusty; was Nymue the one that married one of the Knights, or got cut down by Sir Balin the Savage?
if I recall Nimue is who replaced the first Lady of the Lake who got her head fucking knocked off by Ballin
Sir Balin was such a fuck-up, I love him.
>climate change
>three women with the power
That's a YIKES from me, chief.
I'm not going to watch any of these!
Nothing considering game of thrones was literally dogshit that was only good for it's first season
Television shows are bottom of the barrel
This. Those were some magnificant seasons
F
Red Wedding viral reaction videos ruined everything
What are niggers supposed to do in Westeros? Both the First Men and Andals were white. Niggers never had any relevance in ASoIaF
>Both the First Men and Andals were white
Says who?
Elaine's storyline is just painful, it's the Dorne of the series.
Doesn't have much impact on anything else, it's heavy on politics that don't matter and things just endlessly go her way. Also she's fucking stupid, endlessly wanting to go on adventures in person and getting thousands killed for it, never getting called on it.
>tfw GRRM on all those talk shows and broadcasts telling the audience, over and over and over again, "You know, you would've known it was coming if you read the books."
The First Men were Britons and Andals were Anglo-Saxons, it's fairly obvious by the allegory Westeros has to England. More importantly, the Andals were from Andalos, a region of Essos roughly analogous to Central Europe and notably far, far away from Volantis (which is essentially Florence smashed with India.)
But the world is already pretty diverse. All the mains are white but every race is thoroughly represented.
Missed Kingslayer Chronicles.
Music written by Lin Manuel Miranda, that's about all I know about it.
I hope you're ready for the biggest Gary Stu in fantasy, as well as the most misleading title.
No LOGH fan would want a live-action adaptation when the anime is already perfection. KYS faker.
I can't wait to see Yea Forumss reaction if they keep the Male Mothers conversation. Holy shit that was fucking stupid
I'll probably watch just for the shitposting potential.
Too bad the Netflix format ruins recurring threads.
I'm going through the second book now. It has stuff I like and stuff I don't characters are incredibly bland but Rothfuss does a decent job at making a comfy world even if it is unoriginal.
The world is incredible but the MC is just too fucking perfect.
he's gonna pull the unreliable narrator trash in the 3rd book, but I still had to read through 2 books of bs to get there. Part with the faerie queen shit was unreadable practically
>I’m thrilled that Netflix will be doing an adaptation of my stories, staying true to the source material and the themes that I have spent over 30 years writing,” the author said at the time
>staying true to the source material and the themes
>staying true to the source material
Kote just started becoming BFFs with the nobility of the new country and worked out the guy he is becoming friends with is being poisoned by his archanist.. How many pages do I have to get until the faerie queen stuff?
>"the next X"
This line of thinking is cancer. All these shows will do is set themselves up for failure, just like Lost-clones did. Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, either do something original or fuck off.
Discworld series
Sapkowski has been a complete asshole and hack for a long time, and shouldn't be taken seriously.
I've never understood how the lizard-brains that inhabit those committees never look at the enormous body of examples how "X-Killers" don't work. Originality is a risk, but only if you're bad at your job.
>the author said at the time
So it was before the cast was revealed and when Lauren was still saying she was going to, well, stay true to everything.
the player of games amazon adaptation could be the next GoT.
Eh, you're right, but 'X-Killer' is a little different than 'The Next X'. 'X-Killers' try to be direct competitors, and occasionally they do find a successful niche. A good example of this are the WW2 FPS shooters of the 00's - Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, and Battlefield - which all had their moment in the sun, sometimes at the same time in different communities. 'X-Killers' have to be different in some capacity in order to successfully compete - like how Battlefield emphasizes tanks and airplanes when CoD multiplayer only ever did in United Offensive (which was an amazing expansion as a result). 'X-Killers', while often derivative and unnecessary, do occasionally succeed in moving the industry forward.
'The Next X', however, doesn't seek to do anything differently, since the original 'X' is presumed to be on the decline or wrapping up. So you get a direct clone, with as little different as possible.
Most looking forward to whatever they do with The Stormlight Archive, even though Sanderson is only on book 4. The best storyline I’ve read in years and has the potential to be something amazing if adapted correctly. The main protagonists are of Asian looking haplogroup so it would be interesting to see if the kikes would accept that diversity or force them to all be black Jews. The writer is also a devout Mormon and would probably fight tooth and nail against any attempted Yiddish degeneracy.
Just give me discworld kino.
It would be nice to see a movie adaptation of the Reckoners' trilogy.
That would just be bullshit to be honest. There are ways you do and don't do unreliable narrators.
We already have Discworld kino. Go watch Going Postal.
Going Postal > Hogfather >>>>>>> Colour of Magic (don't get how they fucked that up so hard).
Charles Dance as the Patrician probably got him the Tywin job.
anathema is puerto rican, pepper is black
>Charles Dance as the Patrician probably got him the Tywin job.
100% agree.
I want all 40+ books tv show
Why are you such a cherry picker? Why ignore The Deuce, The Leftovers, Veep, Barry etc.?
No you don't. It'd be far better to focus on individual storylines within the series. You're being way too greedy.
You mean one top tier season, 3 mediocre seasons, 3 terrible seasons and 1 godawful fanfic tier season
If The Watch is a hit, they'll probably go after one of the other main storylines. Possibly William De Worde given it ties in a lot with The Watch.
What is some dark sarcastic as fuck fantasy like Joe Abercrombie?

>female jew
get ready for blormf vs magical brown elf mexicans
Weaveworld has had a TV/mini series rumoured for a long time. Has a lot of Barker's mix of fucked up shit and dark humour.
FUUUUUUCCCCKKKK YYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH
This is what contrarianism does to your brain
>"next Game of Thrones"
>shlock about Christian Dogma
sort of offended at the comparison
I can already imagine the threads. It's going to be both infuriating and hilarious.
game of thrones is fucking terrible. why do people like game of thrones?
It wasn't always terrible
Boobs and dragons user, boobs and dragons.
Why no Perdido Street Station movie or miniseries? If I recall one of Mieville's other books got a mini but I hadn't seen it yet. I think Perdido could be pretty successful in the current climate especially since there's a lot of YEAH SCIENCE bullshit shoved in which people love now.
Go watch Lady Sherlock, that one's a pretty decent J-drama and the girls are cute. Hope HBO does more Japanese shows after it soon
The anime is perfect and I am glad That it is to obscure for a live adaption, but with a competent runner it could be one of the best shows ever made. Thankfully it will never be attempted because it would be an abortion if tried now
woah, a whole new mountain range and forest! STUNNING! Will we finally see the two gay blue wizards performing some sex magic?
>You don't really know what the Bronze or Iron Ages were like if you think they have any resemblance to Game of Thrones
Yeah, because half of the shit in Game of Thrones isn't ripped straight out of Herodotus.
K I N O
>Obama liked it so it has to be good
lmfao
And do you think HBO will provide any satisfactory answers? They could at least wait until the fatman finishes that, or he dies and somebody else does it for him.
I have tried so many times to get into the wheel of time series and it just seems impossible to me. It is so dull.
The Wire is vastly overrated.
I've noticed LOTS of Conan shilling lately. Is it because he will be in the MCU?
>am now already a quarter through book 6
>book 6
Oh fucking boy, prepare your anus for the best fucking ending in the series. Also, the "slog" people are talking about is exaggerated because back when the books were being released it was annoying if a book was "slower" because you had to wait for the next one. It's way more tolerable when you can just read it all.
Did anyone else end up hating Kvothe by the end of the first book?
>it could be one of the best shows ever made
It already is.
That's the issue. If they just stick to the books everything will be perfectly fine, but the worry is that they will still blackwash characters for tokenism points and give the Aes Sedais' bullshit a free pass because whamen can do no wrong.
They were friends, just some banter.
They announced a Black Company adaptation in April 2017 and not even concept art has come out. It probably fell through
remember that shitty wizard of oz one that was gonna be the next game of thrones?
the show is covering Essos too you dumbass
Only right answer
I liked Shallan more than Veil. It amused me when Veil was BTFO so badly and had done far more harm than good.
Might be cool. I'd actually prefer a Bran Mak Morn series, but that will never happen.
I don't think normies could handle Black Company because of the constantly expanding powerlevels and move into high fantasy
It'd be like if GOT started out normal but by season 3 every single antagonist was casting city levelling spells left and right
They aren't, are they?
WHY MUST THEY TAKE EVERYTHING AND TAINT IT?!
So Black Company is basically a shounen anime?
I'm not gay, so I wouldn't know
some studio bought the rights to brandon sanderson's books to make some cinematic universe. but jack shit has been shown from it.
tor.com
so heroic killing women and children !
I would be shocked if Lan is not black in this.
>staying true to the source material
We know this aint happening
No way they wouldn't ruin it, so it's probably for the best
SJWs
So we thought at first Chris finally sold out but he didn't, Amazon just bought the LOTR rights that were already in the wild and used to make the hackson films.
What's going to stop Chris (other than death unfortunately) from suing Amazon for using stuff from the Silmarilion/Lost Tales that overlaps with the sparse references to events in the appendices?
This. It's like nuTrek. Not even going to watch it.
>continental pagan Saxons invade Britain
>make Christians the bad guys
Ok.
The Romano-Britons were pretty fucking anti-pagan since Pagan Rome was anti Druid from the beginning, not just after Christanization.
Didn't the movies fail? They never finished them
Also whatever they try to do with Calormen they're going to get a mountain of shit for it
I don't think they could budget cgi Turians and Krogans every episode, and audiences wont accept practical effects costumed aliens. They could do it 2D like Tarkovsky's Clone Wars maybe. If it were a 3D show it would probably have shitty animation
>he past was violent as fuck
Only in the Bronze age. Population density was such that replacement events could happen. India's a good example. When Proto-Dravidian speakers invaded in the Bronze age they essentially replace the hunter gathers that lived in India. Total genocide. When the Indo-Europeans appear later and conquer north india during the iron age they just admix. The difference is the native population is much larger and so it isn't wiped out.
The Deuce was garbage
You thought The Leftovers was good? Haha
>quick, the goys are forgetting about the holocaust. How do we make them remember?
Oh, another crank of the handle on the eternal guilt machine eh?
They are still making Lost clones.
>A BLOO BLOO BLOO MOMMY THERE ARE N-WORDS IN MY SHOW
>A BLOO BLOO the world is not like New York or LA
Fuck you mutt.
What I don't understand is why do you need a "writers team" for every tv show, video game and movie franchise nowadays? Why wouldn't one writer and couple assistants be enough?
Oh I remember alright
Fuck Michael Sheen
is the ''next Game of Thrones'' goose chase Yea Forums's version of the ''we want the Call of Duty audience'' autism that plagued video games half a decade ago?
Mistborn would be pretty fucking great as a series. It had some fun twists in it.
Let Latza do it
I’m actually fine with them trying to create more fantasy. It’s pretty rare to see any decent ones and GOT is just boring as fuck anyways. It’s like, what if dragons were real, but nothing else magical except Zombies.
>no BotNS adaptation
Good. I'd hate to see how modern Hollywood would ruin it.
Why not $600 million? Too on the nose?
Vice Films is making it user. Srry.
I can't find any source for that.
When people started cutting the cord HBO realized there was a larger market at play. They could stand to dilute their product because more people had the money to pay for HBO's superior programming. Broad appeal is all the rage nowadays.
The first one did pretty well. But like the book series the other entries felt very disjointed. It was never able to capture the same audience.
Easy job for nepotism and (((connections))).
>Lord of the Rings could be the next Game of Thrones
Something inside of me just died a little bit.
Based and Patternpilled
To be fair, Eliza Dushku would be a dogshit Lady.
>staying true to the source material
>netflix
lol
Why are they using Viggo's piercing blue eyes instead of an Indian African woman's black holes?
There is so much potential for them to ruin this series it's not even funny. In the first place, I can't imagine any Hollywood feminist would be thrilled with WoT, they are going to delight in hacking apart its characters, themes, and story and making of it something horrific and unrecognizable.
>the first of which is to be directed by Spider-Man’s Sam Raimi
oh hell
You forgot Rome. They cancelled that shot to make room for GoT.
>end
Most people know within few pages if they hate Kvothe. His ego hits you full in the face right from the start. Hell the back blurb alone gives you a ripe taste of it. Kvothe doesn't really change his abrasive personality over the course of the series so whatever your instinctual reaction is to it at the outset usually determines if you bother to finish the series or not.
Wasn't this cancelled?
They used to just fuck up sequels now they just continuously fuckup
>the sequel to this movie sucks ass
Once I finish game of thrones, I will never watch another television show ever again. I haven't watched anything but GOT for years now. I can't support LGBT shills.
The only grill power feminist pandering character that comes to mind is jasnah, whos barely passable in the books because you can see a glint of vulnerability. You know they gonna crank that shit to 11 if the ever made an adaptation
Westworld season 1 is pure kino for 70% of it. Then I guess they ran out of ideas?
>its a shallan chapter
We're finally getting a conclusion to Deadwood with a movie, though.
>Yennefer is a 15 year old qt mutt now
What the fuck America?
they don't have the money to do a "his dark materials" adaptation
Fuck off Purefoy, the last Rome episode was aired 4 years before the first GoT.
What's some fun fantasy to read? I never bothered with it much, to be honest. I tried reading like a couple of books of ASOIAF last year and dropped it because it was shit. Before that, I only read LOTR and the Hobbit in high school.
Twilight
Brandon Sanderson s a pretty cool guy
>this guy wrote that
Do they really think fantasy is why people watched got?
The blonde guy was the worst part of that Camelot show that got flattened by season 1 of GoT.
Probably, but I mean it wouldn’t hurt to go with it since barely anyone usually gives fantasy a good shot as HBO does with GOT. They’re basically just pumping all the budget into fights and dragons and viewership keeps going up.
>planes and history
yawn
Idris Elba
All their good content for the last 5 years was concentrated into Eastbound & Down and everything else is utter shit
WOT anime would be kino
I only saw the first few episodes, but Game of Thrones seemed like primarily a soap opera.
Discworld Cinematic Universe NOW!
this series should be adapted
That's the plan for Dune but I've been burnt too many times by Hollywood in the current environment to believe it wont be pozed.
Gleeson for Vimes
Mists of Avalon was the worst movie I ever saw. That should have been damage enough but they'll keep doubling back to keep destroying it.
It became about the THOTs being mary sues, like Game of Thrones the moment they ran out of the source material. They think they can YAS QUEEN their way to success and you know what I think they're right.
The Wheel of Time.
