      The last few books were amazing.

      And the conclusion, the ending… chefs kiss. I loved it.

      Would love to see them finish it and stay as close to the books as possible. I think they already deviated quite a bit though.

        I’m on Abbadons Gate at the moment, it’s here that things really start changing now that Bull becomes a character. Otherwise I feel like it was only Soren that was very different. Though Soren and Drummer are some of my fave characters in the series.

    Stargate SG-1.

    Not Atlantis, with their star trek uniforms. Not Universe with their angst and jeans.

    Hard, military professionals jaunting through wormholes into alien words they don’t comprehend and won’t really try to, fucking up local politics and delicate galactic power balances alike in their incessant hunt for really big fucking guns, and Baal clones.

      Came here to say something similar.

      A Stargate spin-off with a premise that leans away from Earth being so extremely overpowered like they were by the end of the show. Focus on feet-on-the-ground missions and exploration. Less space battles (but not none), more mysterious alien worlds.

      Yeah, I never really got the hate the movie got until I read the book, just seemed like a generic but passable zombie action movie.

      Why even buy the rights to the novel if you’re only going to use the title?

        it spent way too long in development hell and yeah, the final product is… almost unrelated to the source. shame.

        A series could do each chapter justice.

    I’d buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.

    TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
    Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

      Did the (anti)protagonist shape shift that much in Phlebas? And even then would it have been a problem for the series? Money no object after all…

        Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating on the “every episode” but you’re still going to need at least three actors to play the main character, plus intermediate appearances as they transform which lasts an episode or more. It’s definitely a significant additional problem that you just don’t have to deal with if you start with one of the other books.
        The other challenge if you are thinking about doing multiple books and you start with Phlebas is that the Culture are the baddies. You spend a (most) of a series presenting them as such and then flip.

      Regardless of the other difficulties, Amazon can absolutely not be trusted with Consider Phlebus to do anything but make the Culture either the bad guys or ancaps.

    Farscape.

    Modern visuals, Muppets, a team of good writers and the core cast returning could be really good. Black and Browder wouldn’t be too old yet to make the characters work.

    That chaotic universe could provide so many posibilities to explore if done right.

      Someone made the point previously about Disney owning Muppets now and doing live action adaptations of all the animated films when they have the opportunity to do muppet versions instead.

      Although I would absolutely want more farscape.

        I’d go for a continuation instead of remake. And I just checked, just last year there have been discussions with Jim Henson Company and Rockne O’Bannon (Farscape’s co-creator) about continuing the story. Nothing solid, but there is hope…

    I’d fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn’t ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of ‘why no meta bro?’

      Mmmmmmm me likey.

      GIVE ME BACK ASHERON’S CALL!!

      Patron/vassal pyramid scheme experience gain system that incentivized helping out less experienced players because you got a % of their XP (at no loss to them) and their vassals, etc etc…

      Back in the day when you didn’t have an online guide for everything. World was HUGE and there was no real fast travel, but there was a crazy portal network. Random portals in the middle of nowhere that would dump you out at other random parts of the map. Portals exiting dungeons randomly take you somewhere else. I had a spiral ring notebook of portal coords and sometimes to get somewhere it was 7-8 hops through a few dungeons… Or hours running across the map trying to not get janked by high level mobs or other PVP players.

      That era of MMO will never live again, and it’s a damn shame.
