Fantasy tv is dead and only an adaptation of pic related can resurrect it.
Fantasy tv is dead and only an adaptation of pic related can resurrect it
popular anime/video game/book: *exists*
literal retards: WHAT IF IT WAS A LIVE ACTION THO XDDDD
if you like something, why on earth would you want an adaptation of it? I like the Hyperion novels, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I wish the jews in Hollywood got their claws in to it
same with that Akira live action movie, so fucking happy it never materialized
Cast her.
came here to post this (and her)
yet another mercenary band in a fantasy land
You people need better taste, holy shit.
also cast soulcatcher
Prime Eliza Dushku
Black Company
You already know what it would be...
I thought this series was going to be the Dirty Dozen in fantasyland but it just ended up being a bunch of dudes playing cards.
There hasn't been a good adaptation of a fantasy novel since Game of Thrones season 1. And there won't be again unless the cultural pendulum swings way back.
Just enjoy IPs for what they are and don't wish for them to get adapted. I think those days are long gone.
This. If you're not at the point where IP recognition is a black mark against your expectations, you've not been paying attention.
cast these two niggas
Would some kindly anons recommend me some good fantasy? Theres so much fucking YA tier garbage in the genre.
I loved The Black Company by Glen Cook and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams. Nothing else has come close.
After Wheel of Time, I'll never even attempt to watch an adaptation of something I like again, even if it gets made.
I love Gene Wolfe's stuff, all of it, but he's not for everybody. Try "The Magic Knight" if you like more high fantasy type stuff.
I started listening to The Black Company audiobooks while at work after the last time it was posted on Anon Babble a month or so ago. I really like them. I'm at the beginning of Dreams of Steel. Hated the ending of The Silver Spike though. The Raven thing didn't really make sense to me.
How can you read anything called "dark fantasy" without turning red from shame?
I dont mind differences between stuff like low/mid/high fantasy. Its mostly the writing style. Cook and Williams have been the only authors Ive found where the prose doesnt feel derivative or like it was written for the lowest common denominator.
Half the cast would be gay black and female
Would love to see Jason Luv in a lead role.
Gene Wolfe writes great sentences.
I also really enjoyed Robert E. Howard's sentence-to-sentence writing style. Very action oriented and well put together.
kek he thinks GoT was ever good
Danny DeVito and Samuel L. Jackson.
The black company is a multicultural, and multiracial band of mercenaries, and as the books go, they go tomore exoticlands,and recruit even more darker skinned people, and yet
1-as soon as Anon Babble sees there are more than white characters, will cry and shit themselves calling it "woke"
2-jews will make Craoker or The Lady black or mistery meat brown, just piss evrybody off, and/or get more brownie points
tl:dr Kill yourself OP
So much shit just changes between the books it made me very upset. It was an alright series until the evil bitch had the chance to kill everyone and just put them in stasis for no reason.
The book about them stuck in the city was kino though
1-as soon as Anon Babble sees there are more than white characters, will cry and shit themselves calling it "woke"
In The Books of the North it literally says that the only black person on that continent is One-Eye.
I tried this book and it was pretty shit
What's the appeal
It's one of the few books Anon Babble has read so they post about it repeatedly every year.
See: Hyperion, Blood Meridian, book of the new sun
Try the Traitors Son Cycle by Miles Cameron.
How do you even do the Soulcatcher twist? If you cast a girl its obvious what gender she is.
The plot goes in that direction in book 5 or something ironically.
You would think the hapa messiah would be a more pressing matter.
All black characters are pretty nicely written, all 4 of them. Hilariously they go to fantasy not-India and its a filthy hellhole like the real place.
Kane by Karl Edward Wagner is great. It came out in the 70s. What if Conan was evil and also a wizard. It has its own unique style, at times dark, at times funny. I reread that every couple of years, it's that good.
The First Law trilogy + the standalones. Dark fantasy with some awesome and realistic characters. Good story, puts a lot of tropes on their heads.
The Assassin and Fool books by Robin Hobb. This one is more standard, but still a good read.
this book
there are like nine (at least) of them, which one did you "try"?
cast a tranny
She unironically bought the rights to the series.
Really? I knew she was involved in producing the series and was going to be The Lady, but last I heard that adaptation was dead.
Get to the very last chapter of the first book
Main character has a dream right before the very end where he fucked a bunch of underage girls
Why did Glen Cook feel the need to add this?
she could have pulled Lady off ~20 years ago but that ship has sailed I'm sure lmao
I have failed to get any of my friends to read any Gene Wolfe.
Croaker was always a bit of a degenerate. The guy was writing smut about The Lady and was feeling a type of way about Darling when she was just a kid.
it's relationship drama for nerds that want to pretend they're reading gritty military fiction
Totally in character, he repeatedly bitch about The Lady getting visibly older and haggier.
Thomasin McKenzie
Maya Hawke
Sophie Thatcher
Florence Hunt
Jenna Ortega
dark eyed spic bitch to play lady
kys
What the fuck, I don't remember that at all. I'm getting my copy right now.
He's hard to read. Soldier in the Mist & Arete almost killed me by frying my brain.
Just gotta scour royalroadl for something that catches your eye, been using that site since like 2013 or something
The Warlord Chronicles
Get out of here you dyslexic tranoid.
How do you write fantasy without it being cringe?
I really enjoyed the first book, and the overall story in books 1-3, especially White Rose parts. I lost interest during subsequent books, especially when they went full pajeet. Does it get good again?
You don't worry about if it's cringe and write it anyway.
comes with an enormously black cast already, so they don't even need to do the raceswap thing
oh wait, the black guys are the ones who fuck everything up, turn traitor and lead to 99.99% of the cast getting killed.
can't have that so we'll need to raceswap the entire cast this time so whitey does that instead
Well, they announced an adaptation back in 2017 but seeing how we are now in 2025 i believe it´s safe to say that´s not happening.
Heard the same thing. She was already past her prime though.
Yes, the Siege of Dejagore is very good and becomes a central element to the narrative.
They just haven't learned yet. Every single time the adaptations get blacked to oblivion and every single time people complain but for some reason these retards think their favorite one will be the exception. Same with that Elric series. I can't wait to see how lame and gay they eventually make that just because those idiots thought spamming it was a good idea. If you like something, keep it secret.
