I would love to see more fantasy adaptions, providing whoever does it doesn't try to turn it into another semi-Game of Thrones production.

honestly big ups to benioff and weiss for fucking up Game of Throne's ending and making it less likely companies just want to make GOT clones

I would like to see people adapt talking animal fantasy books. I know Redwall was a TV show, but I'd like one proper, good looking movie. Mistmantle as well. Pity Mouse Guard died in development.

I'm really torn on this subject... I'm a very visual person, too. As much as I love reading, I love seeing those worlds and characters brought to life even more! But it's disappointing to see them done badly. I guess on the one hand I appreciate that people try even if they fail and something is better than nothing?

But on the other hand, media tends to be a bit of a zero sum game. If an adaptation of [insert series here] is made and is a total flop, it'll likely be years before anyone tries to adapt it again, if it happens at all. And because the entertainment industry in the U.S. is so risk averse for big budget projects, not only will that affect the original series, but it'll also have a negative effect on all similar projects, too.

same. I hated the LOTR movies (yeah I said it!) so it took forever for those visuals to get out of my head. and that's for a relatively popular/liked movie, imagine how much worse it would be for an actually bad adaptation that is universally panned. the visuals will still haunt you.

your point is valid but I'll add to it the flip side - if an adaptation of a series is made and is wildly to marginally successful, no one will try again for a long time because of the sense that you already have what you want, why would you want someone else to try again? it may mean there's a market for extremely similar series to also get an attempt but if that one series is your beloved and you didn't really like the adaptation no matter how popular (see: LOTR), you're still SOL because no one else is going to try to remake those movies for at least another 20 years.

i get you on some lvl, but on the other as a big fan of the Earthsea books... sometimes i'd rather not have any adaptations at all(i just want ONE that's decent, is this too much to ask????).

Same here. There's one particular book series I LOOOOVE that it seems hardly anyone has read, but I have so many songs I'd love to make fanvids to if it had a TV/movie/any kind of visual adaptation.

I finished Garth Nix's Abhorsen last night, so timely secret is timely!

I'm ready for the Pern adaptation, please.
