    most dont even stay true to the source material, unless the original writer is on board, even then they can be influenced by executives, like with sandman. with the obvious thing happened with lucifer and death.(not true to the source, only the words were)

    invincible is another, with tech jacket, even with the creator on board.

    on one hand, series like nutrek just straight up plagiarizes fan novels without giving credit.

    i think Against a dark background by Banks could make a fucking amazing series but them I’m 99% sure they would fuck it up and I wouldn’t enjoy it.

    I really liked The Wool but didn’t like Silo at all. Loved HHGTTG and TV series was good but it’s just a fairly accurate adaptation, nothing great. The movie was weak. The first Dirk Gently show was mediocre, the second was fairly good but was only loosely based on the books.

    I don’t get the obsession some people have with specific lores. Good lore alone doesn’t make a good show. Many shit shows were based on The Witcher. I would love to see good, deep, layered, hard Sci-Fi show and I don’t care what it’s based on. Good lore is like 10% of a good show. At the same time good book is good enough in itself, I don’t have see it rehashed in a different format.

    I would kill to watch Asimov’s work being adapted by Christopher Nolan. Personally Nolan has been a hit or a miss for me, but Asimov and him are a match made in heaven.

    I’d love to see The Dispossessd in film but only if it was made by people who share the same anarchist/communist ideological commitment. If Hollywood tries it you know that part will be taken out, which would take the entire heart and soul out of it.

    John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War book series. Apparently it’s been optioned for 15+ years now, but nobody’s actually gotten around to making the damned thing yet.

    I will always say that HHGttG needs a well done remake as a TV series’s that leaves out nothing.

    After watching Foundation and then reading Foundation… Foundation. It could easily be done as an anthology. And as a recently Rekindled weeb, it would be fantastic as a well done anime. Really cannot understand what the Apple TV pus thing was going for other than “let’s just tell a copletely different story and co-opt the name. (Man that’s never been done before right?)
