For me it’s definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

    Same thing that happened with the Shannara TV show. MTV wanted a kid friendly fantasy romance competitor to GoT, so they butchered a series that’s basically none of those things. They also started with book 2 for whatever reason.

      I imagine they couldn’t get the rights to The Lord of the Rings in order to adapt book 1 of Shannara.

        What? No it’s totally different, our Gandalf is named Allanon and he’s a Druid, not a Wizard. Druids get a d8. And the Warlock Lord’s Skull Bearers are definitely not Nazgul, they fly with wings not horses.
