This is a case of “if my grandma had wheels, she would be a bicicle”
Would it have been an epic series? Would it be better than the version that came out? Who knows

Indeed - the idea that it was a $50M script is, ultimately, hypothetically as it appears it wasn’t possible to actually make it happen the way he wanted. I assume most screenwriters can tell a story about a script that could have produced greatness if only the stars had aligned in the exact orientation.
