Based on the last 5-10 years of adaptations?

None. Stop. Don't. They'll just destroy whatever it is.

they dont do either of those justice. maybe if it was a show first, than written in canon writers of a book, then maybe. oftimes it doesnt fall through like X-men, mcu. invincible i feel like they are going to string this along til people get bored of it, it doesnt seem long of a series, much like with AOT comics. scifi is tricky, though sometimes its better as a show/movie rather than the books, or vice versa. alot of times they dont stick to source material.

No. Stop asking, Hollywood. Go back to making original content instead of derivative 'IP' drivel.

Honestly, most fantasy books would work well.

The Faeirie Queen would make a cool anime.

I want to see the Hyperion Cantos adapted as a TV series.

[-] Overspark@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

I've been dreaming of a Hyperion show for decades. It's so suitable for an adaptation. Although I'm also scared they'll fuck it up, so maybe it's better this way.

Bradley Cooper has held the rights for over a decade now. I always figured if you structure it a bit like Lost, that could work quite well narratively; each episode forwards the plot in the present while having a singular focus on one character in flashbacks

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

the redwall series would make a great animation

Oh, yeah, but I was referencing the new Netflix one that is supposedly in the works.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Oh! Did not know about that one

Steven Erikson's "Malazan: Book of the Fallen" series is ten books long, and it's an ambitious, chaotic mess that some readers utterly love. I didn't really love reading them last year, and mostly slogged through it.

That being said however, book 5, "Midnight Tides" was utterly glorious, and I would have loved to have seen a good 2-season, maybe 20-26 episodes going through the whole arc. It'd be epic AF

I could not even get 50 pages in, i rarely have that much trouble but it felt like it was trying to discourage me from reading.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I know the feeling, I have no idea how I made it through books 2 & 3. I recommend it to no one, but I do still recommend book 5 on its own

You have a lot of comments in the TV space. You have to tell us where you work first so if it’s somewhere shitty we can hold back the goods

Just trying to keep the community active.

george rr martin's wildcards series

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If they can't stop themselves from fucking up the ip, and not just do the story that is in the original then no there aren't any that would adapt well

Just a few that suck.

Wheel of Time

Sword of Trurh

Shannara
