I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

    Pretty sure you’re just being a silly goose. Is the series on apple tv that bad?

      The only thing it takes from Asimov is jargon. The books are about society and civilization. The show is about the emperor, Hari Seldon, and his magic. They’re hardly related.

      It’s not actually bad as a sci-fi series, if it was its own thing it would be very acceptable. It’s just bad as an adaptation of Foundation.

    • Yes. It is the most beautiful, imaginatively designed, well acted, horribly - shittily - scripted movie. Even if you have never read the books, it’s bad. And so very sad, because the rest of it is amazing.

      It’s become my example of how bad direction can tank a show. Or, whoever was responsible for that screenplay; may they never work again.
