As someone who works in the animation industry, you need to understand people : the shows and movies you're watching right now on Netflix are usually made and fully finished 1-2 years prior, sometimes even more and Netflix just sits on them for some reason. And yeah, we work on the next thing way ahead.
I've dipped my toes a little bit into Netflix world (I wrote the short story behind "Kill Team Kill" in the third season of "Love, Death, and Robots"), and it blew me away how much time and resources went into that single episode. I sold the rights back in like 2017, helped with the script a little bit over the next year, got to see a sneak preview of the finished product about two years later, and then it didn't drop until S3 in 2022.
I’ve also heard that the “seasons” are actually just bits of an actual season they split into parts. Which would explain why they seem to make them so quickly.
@@FlyingFocs Yeah, they frequently order a 13 episode season and then cut it into 6 and 7 episode chunks so they can release it faster with less gaps between seasons... and you can absolutely tell because the mid break won't have a real climax or cliffhanger and then the 13th episode will have what was clearly planned as a stopping point. She-Ra and Voltron had a LOT of that going on, and so did the final season of Bojack Horseman.
@@Drawperfectcircles fun fact, I was gonna toss that story because I thought it was too stupid and over the top, my wife convinced me to at least TRY and get it published somewhere, and that was what eventually lead to it getting adapted haha. Glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to write.
Personally I think the dragons in the How To Train Your Dragon remake should have been completely redone. Keep the same general feel to each one maybe, but they all just look like higher fidelity versions of the animated ones. The movie was amazing already, just let it be amazing.
I’d be okay with Cavill playing Dalinar. He’s probably a little younger than most would picture for the role, but if it’s a series it allows for him to age into the role. If there’s anyone in Hollywood that could faithfully adapt the novel version of Frankenstein, it’s Del Toro. He doesn’t look at the creature as a monster but as a character that has suffered a tremendous tragedy
Once again, just putting the reminder here that the alethi are asian and that Sanderson has specifically brought up not wanting a white actor to portray Dalinar. Cavill is amazing and I hope he gets a role somewhere in the cosmere but not in an character that is canonically a poc
the fact that the whole books set costs me 180 ON BLACK FRIDAY, where they're 50% off...istg i can't never get my hands on them😭 (i do have book 1,3,4,5 though)
This looks like another Disney flavored money grab and I'm not looking forward to the fallout... AGAIN. Going back to the book would give the creators room to actually create and provide something new.
Not bad on the witcher pronounciation, the second Z in rodroze is similar to a french J (if that makes sense), and the O in krukow would be the same sound as the U
The Witcher cover artist is Tomek Piorunowski! He did all the other Polish Witcher covers too (from that publisher anyway). And it's an awesome name. Translates roughly to Tomas of Lighting/Lighting Bolts.
Hernry Cavill could be a great Lord Ruler, he's certainly got the presence to pull it off. Edit: Even better, Hrathen! He even gets a Hot/ Spooky shirt off moment
Too all the people that want Henry Cavill to play Dalinar, Sadeas, Amaram or any other Alethi: NO! That won't work for the same reason as Kaladin. Any actor that plays an Alethi would have to be or at least look somewhat asian to stay true too Brandons vision.
The cover of the new Witcher book is by Tomek Piorunowski and the official release date in Poland is 29th November, available on presale now. Kudos for trying to pronounce the original title, you almost nailed it 😅 👏
Mary Shelley also wrote probably the first apocalyptics, dystopian, science fiction novel 'The Last Man', set after a plague swept across the world in the late 21st century. It has very variety reviews though
He wouldn’t be able to play him since Sanderson does NOT want a white actor in any of the main alethi roles. Kaladin and Dalinar are the same ethnicity
Loved Arcane S1 & while I enjoyed S2, it felt very rushed. Reminded me a little of GOT whereby the smalller, personal moments between the characters were lost, so that there could be more time spent on spectacle.
Definitely, season 1 was a characters driven plot, where everyone has their own motivations and goals. Season 2 felt more like the characters where plot driven, where the writters had an end in mind and needed the characters to be there. I was quite disapointed with season 2 despite it being just as visually stunning as season 1 was.
Beautifully designed and animated, but a lot of the characters felt like they had their personalities rewritten in important ways to serve the plot. What's really sad about it is all the little things that could have been done to make that not the case but still lead us to the plot points we wanted-those opportunities just weren't taken. I don't know if S2 was *bad*, but it was a big let down in comparison to its first season, with only a few noteworthy elements that kept me on the ride.
@@Cavouku There are missed opportunities, it felt like some huge characters moments were glossed over in the form of music videos or skipped entirely. We got new characters this season that felt one dimensional at best and I don't think they should have been included. Giving the story more room to breathe in the form of a third season would alleviate a few problems, but I can't help but feel that some of the dialogue was clunkier than season 1.
I disagree with it being rushed. It was certainly fast paced, like season 1, but not rushed. Every character action was given enough context to make perfect sense and hit hard emotionally. I would’ve loved more character interactions, but nothing that was necessary for the plot or the characters was missing.
The final act of Season 2 reminded of the “beginning: fight rats. End: fight GOD” joke I’ve heard about JRPGs. Neat seeing that in another medium though.
I love Arcane and all, but I wouldn't mind having a little time to breathe before we get a gazillion new successor/spin-off show announcements. We barely have time these days to digest a thing before marketing people are trying to shove more down our throats. I'm not even necessarily saying that I don't want a spin-off or whatever, but damn, give me a minute.
Every time we Poles see or hear a Polish reference in the mainstream, we do the diCaprio TV pose from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. So hearing you struggle with "Rozdroże Kruków" was a true gem. Didn't see it coming. You did great btw. Never heard Polish with an Orcish accent before.
I’m in a minority , but IMO “Mercy of Gods” isn’t up to “Expanse.” Lacks memorable characters, too much a bunch of people locked in a room dialoguing. Not very original. Adrian Tchaikovsky does this kind of thing much better. Felt like they just needed some cash flow. Only ⭐️⭐️⭐️
While I doubt they needed the money (expanse money fat) a lack of memorable characters is sad to hear :( I love the cast in the expanse so much. I’ll get a review out someday and compare notes haha
Okay, they’re probably not going bankrupt 😏 but this book struck me as a calculated construction to sell under the “S.A Corey” brand unlike than the Expanse, which grew more organically out of their relationship. And the fact Amazon already picked it up shows they’re not wrong. YMMV.
Curently reading the mercy of god and even as someone who liking it this is not as good as the expanse and there is just too much characters so most of them are forgetable. But it have interesting ideas.
In the name Ionia the first "I" is pronounced like "I" the pronoun and the end sounds more like a "ja". In Demacia the "ma" is like your calling for your mother with a short "ma" - sorry no idea how to write phonetics
What I want from a live action HTTYD film? A new adaptation of the original novel, rather than something based on the animated film. (which... Honestly, it's not the fact it's only been about 15 years since the film, or a preference of animation to live action for this sort of thing that bugs me - I feel pretty much the same way about the 1998 Psycho remake, or covers of songs that sound pretty much identical to the original - What's the _point_ of it if you're not putting your own spin on the thing) - Actually, my ideal would have been an adaptation of How To Train Your Viking instead, which was a novel that was presented as being written by Toothless in the same way that the original HTTYD was presented as being a translation of a work by Hiccup, but if they were doing that surely they'd have called it How To Train Your Viking... (Because apparently Literary Agent Hypothesis is still a thing...) As for the Frankenstein still... I don't dislike it, but I did need to double check it was for a film rather than a point and click adventure game when I first saw it. Which definitely made for a disorientating first impression.
For me it was the meticulous recreation of the animated HTTYD shots that made me less cynical toward the live action. I love love love this IP and if they take the opportunity to work the world building of the Netflix show into it for four cohesive movies? With the villains written to be less cartoony? They would manage to make these even better than the original
So even based off your predictions for Act 3 where you thought Jinx will leave Piltover and Zaun there's a non-zero chance she shows up in other content
Honestly, I'd much prefer the HTTYD film adapt the book story more closely rather than the film version, from my understanding they're very different and I've seen the animated one already. It's very good. I really dislike studios remaking animated projects as live action.
It also subtlety reinforces the “live action is better than animation” mindset. I know that they don’t intend to say that, but it does feel like that. (I think one of the actors for Netflix Avatar said their’s was for “families and not children.”) That… and the fact that I just don’t care, is kind of why I don’t watch these.
The books are completely different. The names are the same and literally nothing else. Toothless is the size of a house cat (most are more large dog size), has no teeth, and is a huge diva. All the dragons speak a common language which Hiccup learned but no one else has
Cavill could do an AMAZING Amaram or Sadeas! Hell, it could go down exactly like it did for Christopher Lee! He lover LotR soooo much that when he met Tolkien in a bar one time, he begged for the chance to play Gandalf if there was ever an adaptation and Tolkein actually approved. He even took on roles in awful b movies so he could have credits acting as a wizard when the time came. While I feel bad for him on a personal level that he didn't get to play Gandalf, I think we can all agree, only he could've gave done Saruman THAT WELL. I feel much the same about Cavill. Imagine him stealing Kaladin's shards and having him branded or smiling mockingly in an attempt to provoke Adolin to violence. Its PERFECT!
If an animation gets a live action adaptation it should be more realistic than the animation. Because we already have the non-realistic animation, duh. Like, what's the point of doing a live action adaptation if it's basically the same? But that's more on the general side of things. For HTTYD I personally would reduce a lot of the "childish" humour and make Hiccup's peers more nuanced and with more depth. From there I would put more emphasis on their dynamic as a group. Of course it would make the movie more targeted towards an older audience, and I think that's what should be done if you adapt from an animation, but it would allow for the movie to be neither to dark nor too comedic. By focusing more on Hiccup interacting with the others aside from his scenes with Toothless, while less childish, it would still be heartwarming and you could just make the humour more that of a friend group. I'm torn on whether toothless should've looked more realistic. I think a part of me wishes for it because it looks a bit too cartooney. I would be curious to hear what the director can say about this, like, what lead to this choice. They must've chosen at some point whether they want more realistic dragons or want to stay as close to the original as possible.
If I am going by the description of Frankenstein on IMDB it appears it is later. Someone is looking for The Monsters remains in order to continue Frankenstein's work.
Personally i though the how to train your dragon movies only got worse and worse, so it's interesting to hear the opposite from you Daniel. I came to them late and liked the first one a lot, but the second two really just devolved into a sequence of captures and escapes and fights, that especially in the third one were entirely avoidable. Even with my liking of the first one though, the remake strikes me as a waste. In disney's live action remakes, for better or worse, they commit much harder to more realistic aesthetics, and are adapting 2d animation to live action. The difference is much starker. Seeing the exaggerated viking helmets of the animation in live action just seems wrong to me, and the fact they ripped animated toothless 1 for 1 is insane. That dragon was designed for an animation, by animators. It doesn't move or look like a real animal, because it wasn't supposed to. If they're going to remake the movie, they should at least take a fresh look at his design and movement. It's striking me more as a rerelease than a remake right now.
Hmmm I'm not sure how I feel about captives war getting an adaptation. I really wanted to like that book more than I did. So I guess we'll see how it plays out.
I just don't want to see the how to train your dragon adaptation. So what I want for them is to make a cool movie so that people who watch this and have not watched the animation are satisfied, and I want this movie to be something that the people worked on can be proud of becaused they managed to transport emotions, ideas, themes etc. from the story to the screen and not because they got this and that shot similar to the animation.
As someone who loves the first How to Train your Dragon… I’m just tired, man. There are so many live actions that, let’s be real, never capture the magic, that I can’t even get mad at it. I’m just… tired. Although I do kind of hope this one is better than most, mostly because one of the original creators is actually involved (even if I feel he’s doing it so no one else can ruin it… which I still respect).
3:34 one of my major gripes with season 2 is the time spent setting up new potential shows, rather than letting plot beats sit and character arcs conclude without being rushed. I heard so many people biting back at criticism of S2 with "you don't get it because its in the lore" or "you weren't paying attention, Arcane doesn't hold your hand," and that's just excuses for poorer writing. It feels rushed because plot elements and new characters are introduced that are half-baked or not fully explored. That screen time could have been better served focusing on existing characters, instead of whatever the Black Rose was.
Gimme a Frankenstein that starts and ends with arctic explorers! I want the captain who was wiser than Ahab! Leave no one in the audience in doubt who was the monster!
17:57 it's totally unnecessary. HTTYD 1 is a masterpiece, genuinely. The series overall is damn near perfect. This weird live action remakes thing (where more than half will be animated anyway - yes, CGI is animation. Marvel movies are mostly animated) is only for a group if elitists who look down on animation. Utterly pointless.
Aside from improving on the side characters I feel like the first HTTYD is a very lean and effective movie so for the most part I think a more direct adaptation makes sense. Just please dear lord change/fix the twins and Snotlout.
but 40k was dropped and he is doing voltron and highlander now instead. i could see caville playing ham in mistborn i haven't read stormlight so don't know. but intend to start it soon,
I want to see a version of HTTYD that is faithful to the books. We got the “reimagined” franchise, and it is spectacular, but the HTTYD books are also great! I just hate seeing millions of dollars wasted making a copy of something that was already so close to perfect.
Wow, I completely disagree How To Train Your Dragon got better movie after movie! I don't think 2 measures up to 1 and I downright dislike 3. Wasn't expecting to have the opposite opinion haha
My take on a LA HttYD adaptation .... Not making one 😂. We already have the movies. Kinda makes it feel like filmmakers treating animation like lesser cinema and not worth watching unless it's "real". Leaves a bad taste in my mouth But that's just me
I still don't know what to think about the How To Train Your Dragon Live action adaptation. We are all used to it thanks to DIsney but this one worries me the most because it's NOT coming from Disney. Should we expect a Shrek or a Kung Fu Panda Live action too? I've lost the energy to rant, I'm just... sad...
I didn't finish Arcane Season 2 yet but episode six and seven are almost entirely messed up. First I believed they switched the story writers but apperantly no. Still the same writers.
Aaaaah I cant wait to for the new Witcher, Im really excited see what its going to be about and wether its a sequel to TLotL or more of a SoS-style prequel.
They could make League of Legends short animated episodes in an anthology, focusing on the champions. Imagine a wholesome episode with Teemo, and a horror episode with Fiddlesticks.
The "How To Train Your Dragon" cartoons are awesome, but they aren't faithful to the books. Instead of adapting the books, the live-action remake chose to be redundant.
Really looking forward to the interview with your agent! I'm sure it's gonna be a super interesting insight into the industry, really appreciate the channel taking this pivot and making it a recurring series!
@DanielGreeneReviews yeah defiantly get that. We probably won't be getting a storm light archive adaptation for a while, so I'm sure plenty of fresh faces will appear in the industry to take on the mantle, when the time comes.
I want to see a live action adaption of the original How to Train your Dragon books. I want a Toothless that’s the size of a house cat and a massive diva. I want a Fishlegs who turns into a homicidal maniac at the drop of a hat. Even if he does have a limp. And bad eyesight. And a bad back It’ll really confuse everyone when it has nothing in common with the existing movies other than the name, but I see that as an absolute win
Small correction. The next arcane series will not involve the three kingdoms (noxis, demacia and ionia). They said that they are considering all regions for the next series, but at the moment theyre specifically looking at these three regions to be the next setting (so only one of them, not all three).
I'm in love with the HTTYD films, and I'm one of those who would prefer not to have the "same version" as the animated film. It's similar to your take on the live-action ATLA show: we already have a ready-to-watch film version of the story with a certain style and humor. Why do that exact thing again? (Naturally, I do think the new HTTYD film will be way better than the live-action ATLA show, but that's beside the point.) I'd rather have a different take on the story, like one that follows the book. I guess I'm tired of seeing the same takes on the same stories. I'd prefer to experience new angles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That being said, if this film gets more people who never watched the animated version to experience something I've enjoyed for many years, then that's a success in my book.
Here's the prononciation for the League of Legends region: Noxus: Pretty self explanatory Ionia: Eye-Onia Demacia: Dem-ah-cia Hope it helps if needed :)
Arcane pulled a witcher. Good first season. Bad andcryshed secind season...and im guessing some really bad tie in shows in future...and by that time no one will care

The books are completely different. The names are the same and literally nothing else. Toothless is the size of a house cat (most are more large dog size), has no teeth, and is a huge diva. All the dragons speak a common language which Hiccup learned but no one else has
@@GoErikTheRed that sounds like a cool story, I'd love to get that on film version rather than a repeat of the excellent animated movie
Cavill could do an AMAZING Amaram or Sadeas! Hell, it could go down exactly like it did for Christopher Lee! He lover LotR soooo much that when he met Tolkien in a bar one time, he begged for the chance to play Gandalf if there was ever an adaptation and Tolkein actually approved. He even took on roles in awful b movies so he could have credits acting as a wizard when the time came. While I feel bad for him on a personal level that he didn't get to play Gandalf, I think we can all agree, only he could've gave done Saruman THAT WELL. I feel much the same about Cavill. Imagine him stealing Kaladin's shards and having him branded or smiling mockingly in an attempt to provoke Adolin to violence. Its PERFECT!
Viktor's God mode look was just perfect!
Given the pace of Cosmere adaptations, Henry Cavill will be a perfect Taravangian when that adaptation starts filming...
The fantasy news must flow
Agree with villain Cavill 👍
If an animation gets a live action adaptation it should be more realistic than the animation. Because we already have the non-realistic animation, duh.
Like, what's the point of doing a live action adaptation if it's basically the same?
But that's more on the general side of things. For HTTYD I personally would reduce a lot of the "childish" humour and make Hiccup's peers more nuanced and with more depth. From there I would put more emphasis on their dynamic as a group. Of course it would make the movie more targeted towards an older audience, and I think that's what should be done if you adapt from an animation, but it would allow for the movie to be neither to dark nor too comedic. By focusing more on Hiccup interacting with the others aside from his scenes with Toothless, while less childish, it would still be heartwarming and you could just make the humour more that of a friend group.
I'm torn on whether toothless should've looked more realistic. I think a part of me wishes for it because it looks a bit too cartooney. I would be curious to hear what the director can say about this, like, what lead to this choice. They must've chosen at some point whether they want more realistic dragons or want to stay as close to the original as possible.
Helping a brother out on pronunciation cause we all been there. Noxus: Nah-k-sus. Ionia: Eye-oh-knee-uh. Demacia: Dem-ahh-see-uhh.
If I am going by the description of Frankenstein on IMDB it appears it is later. Someone is looking for The Monsters remains in order to continue Frankenstein's work.
14:31 i double dare you to do a Fantasy News without mentioning Brandon Sanderson.
Personally i though the how to train your dragon movies only got worse and worse, so it's interesting to hear the opposite from you Daniel. I came to them late and liked the first one a lot, but the second two really just devolved into a sequence of captures and escapes and fights, that especially in the third one were entirely avoidable. Even with my liking of the first one though, the remake strikes me as a waste. In disney's live action remakes, for better or worse, they commit much harder to more realistic aesthetics, and are adapting 2d animation to live action. The difference is much starker. Seeing the exaggerated viking helmets of the animation in live action just seems wrong to me, and the fact they ripped animated toothless 1 for 1 is insane. That dragon was designed for an animation, by animators. It doesn't move or look like a real animal, because it wasn't supposed to. If they're going to remake the movie, they should at least take a fresh look at his design and movement. It's striking me more as a rerelease than a remake right now.
Henry Cavill would legit be the perfect Lord Ruler. I cannot think of him as any other character.
He would need to grow his hair. A lot
Hmmm I'm not sure how I feel about captives war getting an adaptation. I really wanted to like that book more than I did. So I guess we'll see how it plays out.
I just don't want to see the how to train your dragon adaptation. So what I want for them is to make a cool movie so that people who watch this and have not watched the animation are satisfied, and I want this movie to be something that the people worked on can be proud of becaused they managed to transport emotions, ideas, themes etc. from the story to the screen and not because they got this and that shot similar to the animation.
I think cavil could probably pull of Kelsier pretty well though!
As someone who loves the first How to Train your Dragon… I’m just tired, man. There are so many live actions that, let’s be real, never capture the magic, that I can’t even get mad at it. I’m just… tired.
Although I do kind of hope this one is better than most, mostly because one of the original creators is actually involved (even if I feel he’s doing it so no one else can ruin it… which I still respect).
Every time I hear you say "how to train your..." I end it with Gavin 😆
Blood of the Kami is definitely A1 WOW!
If we ever get Mistborn adapted, Henry Cavill could be Kelsier. Just saying. We can dream of more adaptations beyond Stormlight.
I think it would be fun if the live action HtTYD was based on the books instead of the movies
3:34 one of my major gripes with season 2 is the time spent setting up new potential shows, rather than letting plot beats sit and character arcs conclude without being rushed.
I heard so many people biting back at criticism of S2 with "you don't get it because its in the lore" or "you weren't paying attention, Arcane doesn't hold your hand," and that's just excuses for poorer writing.
It feels rushed because plot elements and new characters are introduced that are half-baked or not fully explored. That screen time could have been better served focusing on existing characters, instead of whatever the Black Rose was.
Gimme a Frankenstein that starts and ends with arctic explorers! I want the captain who was wiser than Ahab! Leave no one in the audience in doubt who was the monster!
Two Truths and a Lie is genius.
I can see Henry Cavill as Wax
17:57 it's totally unnecessary. HTTYD 1 is a masterpiece, genuinely. The series overall is damn near perfect. This weird live action remakes thing (where more than half will be animated anyway - yes, CGI is animation. Marvel movies are mostly animated) is only for a group if elitists who look down on animation. Utterly pointless.
Aside from improving on the side characters I feel like the first HTTYD is a very lean and effective movie so for the most part I think a more direct adaptation makes sense. Just please dear lord change/fix the twins and Snotlout.
but 40k was dropped and he is doing voltron and highlander now instead. i could see caville playing ham in mistborn i haven't read stormlight so don't know. but intend to start it soon,
Actualy lux in demacia is best friendsneith jinx in some the lorr bites and singed is heavily involved with ionia
I want to see a version of HTTYD that is faithful to the books. We got the “reimagined” franchise, and it is spectacular, but the HTTYD books are also great! I just hate seeing millions of dollars wasted making a copy of something that was already so close to perfect.
Henry would make a good Amaram
I hope the next show after arcane is about Noxus
I am happy to hear they are already working on something for a year ❤
There were ravens hiding out, watching events, all the way from S1E1. Swagmaster Swain knows everything.
Well, now I want Blood of the Commie.
Waaaah!!!!
*Jafar Voice* You are Late!
honestly just forgot to schedule the video to drop haha
Wow, I completely disagree How To Train Your Dragon got better movie after movie! I don't think 2 measures up to 1 and I downright dislike 3. Wasn't expecting to have the opposite opinion haha
Ben Barnes would be great as Amaram.
My take on a LA HttYD adaptation
....
Not making one 😂. We already have the movies. Kinda makes it feel like filmmakers treating animation like lesser cinema and not worth watching unless it's "real". Leaves a bad taste in my mouth
But that's just me
I still don't know what to think about the How To Train Your Dragon Live action adaptation.
We are all used to it thanks to DIsney but this one worries me the most because it's NOT coming from Disney. Should we expect a Shrek or a Kung Fu Panda Live action too?
I've lost the energy to rant, I'm just... sad...
I didn't finish Arcane Season 2 yet but episode six and seven are almost entirely messed up. First I believed they switched the story writers but apperantly no. Still the same writers.
Excuse me, what about your agent's experience as a fish man?
Henry Cavill ❤️ if I couldn't love him more
Aaaaah I cant wait to for the new Witcher, Im really excited see what its going to be about and wether its a sequel to TLotL or more of a SoS-style prequel.
I really just love daniels pronunciation of names😅
It's more like just pronunciation of words lol. But all the love to my dyslexic brothers
Yay, the Fantasy News Flows
As a fellow Dyslexic, the 'Noxus' pronunciation had me cackling. Ionia and Demacia too. Love the content tho.
They could make League of Legends short animated episodes in an anthology, focusing on the champions. Imagine a wholesome episode with Teemo, and a horror episode with Fiddlesticks.
If you take the H out of "Poohniverse" it takes on a very different meaning...
Arcane season 2 is a masterpiece
The "How To Train Your Dragon" cartoons are awesome, but they aren't faithful to the books. Instead of adapting the books, the live-action remake chose to be redundant.
Hey Daniel everyone from Demacia Screams or yells when they say the word "DEMACIA!!!" Do that next time.
I-OWN-NIA
NOC-SSUS
DE-MA-CIA🎉¡!!!!
Witcher cover is by Tomasz Piorunowski
THANK YOU! I will add that to the description.
Cavill shold be Vasher!!
If only there was a magic cure for Mental Health and Stress Problems 🙁
Really looking forward to the interview with your agent! I'm sure it's gonna be a super interesting insight into the industry, really appreciate the channel taking this pivot and making it a recurring series!
I feel like Dev Patel could play a great kaladin.
I would agree a few years ago but I really want someone who can match Kaladin's age. He has a youthful ambition and stubbornness in my read of him.
@DanielGreeneReviews yeah defiantly get that. We probably won't be getting a storm light archive adaptation for a while, so I'm sure plenty of fresh faces will appear in the industry to take on the mantle, when the time comes.
Why do so many book channels have trouble with pronunciation?
Have you heard of from tv show???
Can Henry Cavill be a Spren in Stormlight? They'll just be CGI.
Cavil as syl 🤤
This new iteration of the theme music is so bad I can’t deal 😬😬
I'm hungry for more Noxus and more of Ambesa 💥
Sorry, but that book is seriously called "Bury Our Bones in" Shit? Midnight Soil is a euphemism for shit, is it not? Am I mistaken here?
Henry Cavill for Sadeus or Amaram
I want to see a live action adaption of the original How to Train your Dragon books. I want a Toothless that’s the size of a house cat and a massive diva. I want a Fishlegs who turns into a homicidal maniac at the drop of a hat. Even if he does have a limp. And bad eyesight. And a bad back
It’ll really confuse everyone when it has nothing in common with the existing movies other than the name, but I see that as an absolute win
Small correction. The next arcane series will not involve the three kingdoms (noxis, demacia and ionia). They said that they are considering all regions for the next series, but at the moment theyre specifically looking at these three regions to be the next setting (so only one of them, not all three).
I'm in love with the HTTYD films, and I'm one of those who would prefer not to have the "same version" as the animated film. It's similar to your take on the live-action ATLA show: we already have a ready-to-watch film version of the story with a certain style and humor. Why do that exact thing again? (Naturally, I do think the new HTTYD film will be way better than the live-action ATLA show, but that's beside the point.) I'd rather have a different take on the story, like one that follows the book. I guess I'm tired of seeing the same takes on the same stories. I'd prefer to experience new angles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That being said, if this film gets more people who never watched the animated version to experience something I've enjoyed for many years, then that's a success in my book.
Henry Cavill would be great for Zahel
Here's the prononciation for the League of Legends region:
Noxus: Pretty self explanatory
Ionia: Eye-Onia
Demacia: Dem-ah-cia
Hope it helps if needed :)
Henry Cavill should be Sadeas
Arcane pulled a witcher. Good first season. Bad andcryshed secind season...and im guessing some really bad tie in shows in future...and by that time no one will care
Did you have time to look at the banana taped to a wall?
I think Henry Cavill could make a fantastic Herald!
