People who complain that we not have others fantasy shows like the first 4 seasons of GOT (even if they were generally good adaptations, in terms of adaptation of the magical aspect in the show itself was minimal, and I don't understand the problem with directors of fantasy productions who always try, if they can, to minimize the fantasy / magical aspect of the base work... Why adapt from fantasy if you have a problem with the magical elements ? It's ridiculous...) well actually the thing is that there are plenty of literary stories as good as GRRM's ASOIAF saga, even better !

Except that either the directors didn't get their hands on it, or they did and... adapted it any way they wanted.

The Witcher is a perfect example. The books make for an excellent fantasy saga, but its adaptation is absolutely slammed into the ground.

It's the same with rings of power. Tolkien's universe has tons of stories that could be adapted, but instead the directors went with fanfiction (and poorly done one at that).

And I don't understand why these people aren't able to properly adapt the nuggets they find.

Even at the youth level, we saw the disaster of the attempted adaptations of Eragon and The Wardstone Chronicles.

It's still crazy.

The problem once again is those who try to adapt fantasy works. They either don't seem to like them, or think they're doing better by the original author, or both. And it's frankly tiring.

House of the Dragon itself is a show that ends up being more of a Fire and Blood fanfiction than an adaptation. Borderline a parody at this point.

And I don't understand people who praise this show as an example of good adaptation or good fantasy.

I mean... you saw what Ryan Condal said as bullshit to explain that the Targaryens don't have purple eyes in HOTD beyond simple technical problems that he should have just stuck to instead of continuing to open your mouth ?

Once again, why adapt fantasy by people who don't like its elements ?

It's stupid.

In addition, it also has almost all the flaws of the rings of power, and of the seasons of GOT after the first 4.

The fact is that I drifted. But the main point being, there are plenty of excellent fantasy stories out there. The problem is that they haven't yet been discovered by people working in the field, or when they have them on hand, they adapt them haphazardly.

And sorry, but so far, I haven't seen any fantasy adaptations that could really be described as good (except the trilogy LOTR by Peter Jackson, His Dark Materials - not perfect but still pretty good -, and Arcane for now... of course)

If I was a famous author, I would keep my identity a secret and then audition for leading role in an adaptation of my own work.

Then, I would gush over the author in multiple interviews to the point where the fans ship me with myself and write fanfics about it

Will I ever stop posting about Headless? About the greatest miniseries of all time? About supporting women-led projects? About independent creators? About the perfect spooky Autumn vibes? About the Emmy-worthy acting in it? About the phenomenal writing? About how EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. is the best character? About one of the best original mysteries I've encountered in a long time?

So, on that note, go watch it here:

It’s funny how MCU Pilled I was for the ramping up into Endgame and I saw it thrice and yet now the main reason I think of it anymore is the “No. I don’t think I will.” meme. It’s like how Live Slug Reaction has become the best part of star wars 9 lmaoooo

i’ve only watched up till ep 4 of pjotv (🏴‍☠️ ofc) and i’m mostly finding it pretty bad, but i do think there’s some genuinely interesting tidbits in there. one of them was the line from annabeth about how she had to fight for thalia’s love — i thought that thalia making annabeth earn her love is a pretty interesting characterization choice for thalia. yes, it is a drastic change from tlo and ‘the demigod diaries’, where it was clear that thalia is soft for annabeth right away and tries her best to do right by her from the moment they meet, but when you keep in mind some of the context from the book + show, i think that the change they made does line up with thalia’s character.

ok so first of all, annabeth’s recounting of her relationship w/ luke and thalia is meant to parallel her upbringing with her father and stepmother, the loving doting father figure and the harsher mother figure (which was . . . smth, but that’s a whole other issue). smth that i realized later on was that this kind of alludes to thalia’s own upbringing as well. thalia has been taking care of herself pretty much her entire life, and even when she was on the run, she had to fight to survive by herself for years before she met luke. though it deviates from her book characterization, it makes sense that this would be the only lifestyle she’s ever known, and that she would expect others to behave similarly. luke could prove he could handle himself, but a 7 y/o child is dependent on others, smth that thalia couldn’t fathom, hence leading to her making annabeth ‘fight’ to earn her love.

to add on to my prev point about thalia’s upbringing, i kept on thinking about how in the show, they stress that demigods have to earn their olympian parent’s love. this is shown the most through annabeth’s relationship with athena, where she constantly has to be at her best to maintain athena’s favor and one little thing can cause it to be lost forever. while the line about thalia making annabeth earn her love was meant to reinforce why annabeth believes love is conditional, i also think that it could be a nod to how thalia bought into this mentality of conditional love as a result of her own relationship with her olympian parent. in the books, while she does feel bitter and resentful towards her father at times, thalia does believe in zeus and wants a connection with him. in ‘the demigod diaries’, thalia and luke only end up taking annabeth in bc of the chain of events that came from thalia chasing after what she thought was a sign from her dad! with the show’s insistence that (most) olympian love is conditional, it makes sense that thalia had to fight to gain zeus’s "love", and i think it makes sense then that mentality would transfer over to a relationship where she has to assume a parental role of sorts. i think it’s an interesting contrast to luke, who rejects everything about his olympian father and gives love unconditionally when he assumes a parental role. since luke (+ percy at this point in time) are irreverent of the olympians and actively question the way they treat their kids (ntm how both do know unconditional love from their mortal mother, regardless of their respective difficult home lives), of course they reject how the olympians show their “love” and give their own love freely regardless. but thalia and annabeth were seeking for a connection with their immortal parent, and have thus internalized this mentality that love is conditional.

also idk if the writers are keeping hoo canon in mind while they were constructing the tv versions of these characters, but the first thing that immediately came to mind when i heard this line was that thalia’s mentality had to have smth to do with the loss of jason. when thalia meets annabeth, she is only 12 years old, and jason would’ve probably ‘died’ 4 years ago. jason was most likely the first person that thalia had loved unconditionally, and its pretty obv that his disappearance shakes her up a lot, given that it’s the final catalyst to her running away from home and his memory is so painful that she never even told her best friends abt him. i think she did feel partly responsible for jason’s ‘death’ bc she didn’t keep her eyes on him and i think she did carry that guilt even 4 years after the fact. which is why i think it’s entirely plausible that thalia would not be so keen on opening up and getting attached to another young child.

ok last point on this but i also think the implications of this line would make the ttc emotional climax hit so much harder (assuming they ever get that far lol). luke, who was maybe the first person who had loved annabeth so easily and readily, manipulates and harms annabeth with no (observable) qualms. and thalia, who had been so hard on a 7 y/o annabeth, is so aghast by his treatment of her that she finally accepts her best friend is no longer the person she remembers and ends up kicking him off a cliff, and annabeth has to watch all this go down. isn’t that just heartwrenching?

I should post my own design of the village girl to make a statement

hey so i’m curious, once the cruel prince movie adaptation comes out, will you

pretend like it doesn’t exist,

treat it like it’s canon, or

watch and enjoy it as an entity completely separate from the books and not let it affect your experience with the books

[barefootcosplayer]

The amount of friends that have texted me about the bioshock movie talk……

[blairwld]

wondering if in the world of the show Frozen had already come out. Every other story already has a famous adaptation or movie. But here I just imagine them meeting and befriending Anna and Elsa and thinking they must be side characters in the Snow Queen tale, and a few years later Frozen comes out and they all go "hey they finally made one movie for you guys"
