When are they going to turn it into a movie?
When are they going to turn it into a movie?
tl;dr?
With black or Asian Elric? No thanks.
Movie when?
I don't think you can blackwash a character whose by far the most iconic characteristic is his pure white skin.
What?
user...
Incel destroys his own people because they're "decadent."
You must be new
>incel
wasn't he fucking his cousin?
He was a chad, retard
His second scene in the series shows him having sex
And then he fucked a new girl in every book
Just STFU
sauce?
Hot
Melniboné of Elric's time is really a prophetic picture of modern America. People began celebrating mental illness. Everybody moved into big cities and the countryside stood completely abandoned. They thought they ruled the world, while there were multiple powers capable of wiping them out, which they eventually did.
Elric of Melniboné
I think even Moorcock admited that Melnibone is a metaphor for Britain.
>t. faggot who has never read a single book on Elric
its already coming to netflix
The second part is not wrong. And even if he's not an incel, he's the incel's fantasy of a perfect man. Beautiful women throw themselves at him, and he fucks them dispassionately and throws them into the trash.
thankyou Yea Forums, you may have picked my next read
nice meme retard
He's an anemic whiny emo who depends like a drug addict on his cursed sword.
A literal subversion of heroic tropes.
Faggots like Rian Johnson are probably masturbating to him.
OBSESSED/10
it's fucking obvious it's inspired of the Victorian British Empire
Off the top of my head:
>Albino protagonist
>Protagonist fits the physical description of Elric identically
>Suffers from a curse that is simultaneously the source of his power.
>On a cosmetic level: ‘Elric of Melniboné’ —> 'Geralt of Rivia’
>Both characters are colloquially named 'The White Wolf’.
>Both characters rely on their herbalism to remain alive, due to the degenerative effect of their respective curses.
>Both characters are a melding of a Warrior and a Sorceror. Often mingling magic with swordplay. It’s worth mentioning that Michael Moorcock’s Elric was arguably the very first to fit this archetype.
>Even the plots of the various stories - with their emphasis on political intrigue, their moral relativism and de-emphasis of 'Evil vs. Good’ - are tonally informed by Moorcock’s Elric series. With many of the messages, and even dialogue often mirroring many of the sentiments of characters in the former.
>Lamentably, I’m not as familiar with Elric as I should be. But I’m already noting some staggering instances of outright plagiaristic excess echoed within The Witcher twenty years later… and I’m only in the first pages of the very first novel.
At any rate, I can’t, in good conscience, acknowledge the legitimacy of this video game series, given its suspect origins. Fun games can be made from stolen material, just like anything else. It doesn’t mollify the despicable nature of the act.
Particularly when one considers Andrzej Sapkowski’s refusal to even acknowledge the similarities publicly. It bespeaks a guilty conscience, and essentially betrays the truth of the matter.
So this is what GRRM based bloodraven’s design on
>A literal subversion of heroic tropes.
No, he's just anti-Conan. Moorcock originally wrote about him because he was irked by how some smooth brain working class goblin was considered the greatest fantasy hero.
>all whites looks the same
ewww dude that's racist
Elric is a TRUE undermenschen. He is blessed by Arioch due his lineage, but he can't actually survive in the wild.
He needs drugs and magical rituals to avoid collapsing and becoming a immobile cripple. He leans on his black blade like a drug addict because it means avoiding all the downsides of the magical drug cocktails he has to consume to function.
He has been taught and educated so well, that every mistake he makes is truly his own for failing to analyze the situation.
If he had some more fortitude, he could have stalled the end of the world a few centuries, simply by not setting in stone the motions that allowed the cabal mageocracy to wage a Ragnarok war on rest of the world.
Sapkowski is a gigantic unlikable cunt, learning about him as a person has ruined the books retroactively for me.
>gigantic unlikable cunt
... that means sjw, right?
>undermenschen
wie bitte?
No, not at all. He's just a narcissist and an outspoken hater.
Spreachen deutzchen? Nein?
Er ist gern unter Menschen
He truly believes his The Witcher games are popular because of his books and not the other way around.
But then again hes probably just salty he didnt make a good deal when they asked him for the rights to make a game (he chose to take a $9000 lump some instead of continued royalties because he didnt think the first game would be popular)
>he didnt think the first game would be popular
To be fair, it wasn't. It was Witcher 2 that made it popular.
>He truly believes his The Witcher games are popular because of his books and not the other way around.
I don't know about the West, but that's the way it is in Eastern Europe.
sure but they were able to make witcher 2 because of witcher 1
my brother had sword of destiny because he liked the game series, i read the book and then the rest of the books, then i played the witcher 3 and liked it but i maintain that i'm a bigger fan of the books
can't wait for cavil geralt
>can't wait for Jewflix's Geralt
kys, soon.
i wish
That's exactly why they'll blackwash him
>wanting to see some Hollywood execs completely destroy yet ANOTHER franchise by forcing their politics in and putting incompetent faggots in charge
Why? Are you retarded?
MJ's most iconic feature is her red hair
Hi Razorfist, love your work
George RR Martin looks like *THAT*?!
But that's precisely what you poor slobs want. Without opportunities to whinge you'd die.
>But that's precisely what you poor slobs want. Without opportunities to whinge you'd die.
Not really, we have enough to whinge about already.
Are there even handsome albino actors that could play him?
They will cast a nigger albino. Screencap this.
>an albino
Is this the final defense against blackwashing?
In theshow they'll say he has a magical albinism that turns his skin black.
domino in xforce is also supposed to be albino.
Elric is Moorcock's shittiest writing, Corum is the patrician choice
Ah damn it fuck it
Heimdall is often referred to as the most palest and beautiful of all the norse gods.
What did we get, user?
the only good thing to come out of Moorcock is warhammer.
All you did was prove that blackwashing not only doesn't work but really highlights how hideous black people are. Good job!
What is makeup?
>good thing
>warhammer
Choose one.
And this is why they call him the White Wolf...
Corum and Elric are the same setting.
Isn't that ableist against the people who have albinism?
>he doesn't appreciate an army of dark elf sluts
gay
Isn't it cheaper to just find an albino actor?
Such exist? And they're not dogshit gimmick actors?
>steal from Tolkein and Moorcock to make Warhammer Fantasy
>steal from Dune to make WH40K
>copy paste orcs, elves, dwarves, ogres to make alien races
kys faggot
Riffraff from Rocky Horror?
Just Dune? it's a frankenstein's monster of every sci-fi setting.
They wouldn't make Elric non-white; they'd have him played by a white man and keep him albino, BUT they'd make his entire race also albino and make the movie or series about WHYPEEPO BAAAAAAAD by having the other races be non-white. So Elric's whole angle would be White Guilt and him helping the non-whites destroy his own white people.
Except for them all being albino... that's not really different from the books...
Except it's not about whites vs. non-whites in the books, but that's precisely what they'd make the movie about.
who would you guys cast? my choice would have been paul bettany.
Some unknown white albino actor
Mads.
I can guarantee that they will cast some wimpy bong like Hiddleston or Cucumberbotticelli
Elric is an emo wimp though.
too gruff for elric. he was the perfect choice for geralt though I could also see him as corum.
yeah, but that's kind of elric.
This, or Kit Harrington.
Oh my sweet summer child...
fuck all elves
he's not an elf
He's still some kind of pointy ear shit.
Actually he's an elf, and Corum as well
I wish
based
yes, but also no. the eldren (and their descendants) are elf-like but they aren't elves.
Hopefully never, missed the chance for a Frazetta/Bakshi collab and fantasy movies haven't been good since Lord of the Rings.
>same as elves in every way
>but not elves
Based.
>Frazetta/Bakshi collab
What was Frazetta's role? Did he just design the characters? Because Fire & Ice feels like typical bakshi's rotoscopic dogshit.
>brown elves
