I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

Asimov's Foundation series. It hasn't been done yet. By anyone.

Pretty sure you're just being a silly goose. Is the series on apple tv that bad?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The only thing it takes from Asimov is jargon. The books are about society and civilization. The show is about the emperor, Hari Seldon, and his magic. They're hardly related.

emperor, Hari Seldon, and his magic.

Spoiler alert

It's not actually bad as a sci-fi series, if it was its own thing it would be very acceptable. It's just bad as an adaptation of Foundation.

Yes. It is the most beautiful, imaginatively designed, well acted, horribly - shittily - scripted movie. Even if you have never read the books, it's bad. And so very sad, because the rest of it is amazing.

It's become my example of how bad direction can tank a show. Or, whoever was responsible for that screenplay; may they never work again.
