Nasty Cockslut aka Uncle Linky

[McGinnis]

It's an established IP with 4 book's worth of shite to adapt, and unlike A Thong of Ice and Fire it's actually finished.

Well firstly, Ice and Fire being unfinished clearly didn't stop them from adapting it and secondly, shit fantasy is clearly not hard to create, just look at the millions of Games of Thrones clones that every streaming service is creating. Why dredge up something that's already failed and has zero buzz around it?

[Kugelfisch]

Because they are creatively bankrupt and anything without ties to an already existing IP gets slapped down by management immediately.

[McGinnis]

Yes but there's creatively bankrupt and there's creatively bankrupt

There are dozens of other, genuinely popular, fantasy franchises they could have a crack at ruining before they turn to Eragon, which was never good in the first place. Why don't they have a crack at ruining Narnia again?

[Kugelfisch]

I bet Eragon was cheaper to license.

[McGinnis]

Yeah, that's probably it. Paolini clearly wants his fifteen minutes back

They didn't expect that Martin's book output would go sub-glacial.

Why don't they have a crack at ruining Narnia again?

Too Christian.

[McGinnis]

Too Christian.

All your 'pretend' woke shit and you haven't worked out that they love to subvert Christianity?

So NuAslan will be like Sequel Trilogy Luke? Got it.

[wulfenlord]

Luke was a poorly disguised Jesus?

[McGinnis]

So NuAslan will be like Sequel Trilogy Luke? Got it.

Well Aslan being an analogue for God, they'd probably try to suggest that he doesn't really exist or something
