Are there any books, video games, comics or movies you think would work if adapted into a TV series?

  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.

  Echo Project had a super awesome idea that only was touched on at the very end of Arches that I immediately thought would make a great TV series.

  A detective that literally has his dead friend’s soul inside him that can see and communicate with the dead. Just that alone would be awesome, but there is also the angle that the voice of his friend isn’t real and the protagonist is just hallucinating everything, and only coincidentally able to solve mysteries because of the supernatural guidance received.

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

  What Remains of Edith Finch

  It would be beautiful and sad. Every episode could be directed by someone different with wildly different style, even as an anthology cartoon like The Boys: Diabolical. It would only need one season.

  The Faeirie Queen would make a cool anime.

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

    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

  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.

      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

  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.
