In the hands of a competent writing crew, you can adapt the franchise into a really cool action cartoon.

that seems like it should have one years ago

>>88760737
I thought the books were so-so, but I was blown away when the movie made them worse.

Like, they literally didn't say one of the main characters names the entire movie. He just showed up and said "I'm going with you" and nobody objected.

>>88760830
You'd think.
Godzilla mangas exist though.

Elves would probably come off as a bit less completely insufferable since you'd actually have visuals to back up the constant claims of otherworldly beauty and perfection. Not sure if it would be enough to offset the constant overbearing smugness and hypocrisy though.

I'm an oldfag and I remember when Eragon was the Internet's punching bag in terms of terrible books to make fun of. There were entire websites dedicated to dissecting that book and how shitty of a person Paolini was.

Then Twilight came out, and even later Fifty Shades of Grey, and suddenly Eragon didn't look that bad.

>>88761402
Eragon is a bad fantasy novel.
Twilight is a bad romance novel.
Fifty Shades of Gray is a bad erotic novel.

All we're missing is science fiction and comedy. No, wait; the litany of post-apocalyptic dystopian coming-of-age young-adult series probably count under science fiction.

>>88761519
Hunger Games?

>>88761330
So basically Ed, Edd, and Eddy but in the Stalker universe? I'd watch it.

Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner, Uglies, The Giver... There are plenty out there. The genre became more and more popular after HG and Divergent's movies, but obviously the films have begun to wear their welcome. Too bad your local B&N will be flooded with those titles for years, just like how they're STILL flooded with supernatural romance novels in the wake of Twilight.

True, but it did have a movie recently in the wake of Hunger Games and Divergent. You may not remember it because it was kind of a box office failure.

All I know is that it had my 3DPD waifu, Taylor Swift. She played The Giver's daughter, Rosemary. And then she died.

>>88761737
They're all disconnected and in separate universes. You'd think that Lionsgate would have tried to connect Hunger Games and Divergent together, but I guess they didn't think about how it would print money.

Hell I even loved how they defeated Galbotorix by bypassing his wards and making him kill himself. Pretty much everything else was garbage though.

>>88762076
It would appear so:
>The film unit of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and the British "Harry Potter" producer David Heyman announced Sunday that they will make a fantasy movie "Warriors" based on a book series about warring cats.

>The live action film with computer-generated cats is based on the British books for young adults about clans of wild cats, with themes including adventure, forbidden love and good versus evil. The series has a fan following in countries including China, and the film is intended for worldwide audiences.

Here's hoping it isn't shit. Here's further hoping they retain all the trademark violence from the series, like the part where one guy done gets his chest cut from the neck through to his stomach and dies nine times in a row due to his literal nine lives.

>>88762056

It's been like a decade since I read the book, but didn't he have memories of a young woman?

>>88762166
That's because they more or less glossed over her for the sake of giving The Giver a backstory. It's the same in the movie, and you only see her in flashbacks. They used Taylor because they wanted to try and push tickets and fill theater seats, so they cast her and gave her billing and poster space for what more or less amounts to, like, ten minutes of screen time.

They probably only had the money to get her for, like, one or two days of filming.

>>88760628

Avoid the anime, it has some good parts, but it's just incredibly generic.

>>88762205
>>88762279
Yes. The Giver's daughter was the previous Receiver/Rememberer/Whatever. Done had herself axed due to all the stress from the job.

Fuck yes, loved that series. The way he did magic and necromancy was really cool. The whole opening where she's being tracked cross-country by the horrible, flaming zombie was really tense.

>>88763462
Yeah, there was a short story where he goes to the Old World with her at the end. It's actually a cool story, read it if you can.
I kinda hated Nick for awhile, but they did a good job of showing that he really wasn't in his own mind. Him breaking free was cool.
Overall I just liked the world they crafted. Shit like the previous Abhorsens and Mogget being a Free Magic Entity, the creepy as zombies, the different layers of death. All of it was great. The character work was well done too, they did a good job of letting you explore the world with them as you slowly got to know who they were.

Thanks to these jackasses I ended up on /tg/.

But I won't lie, very good reads, and the fact that the two of them play a lot of DnD prevented any Mary Sues from showing up.

>>88763528
Shit, I remember that series. I thought Hester's character arc was really interesting. Also Shrike was cool. I should really finish the series, only read the first three books.

>>88763509

The character work imo was the weakest aspect of the books - Sam is probably the strongest one of the bunch as far as pure characterization goes (understanding motivations, personalities, growth etc.). Many of the characters felt flat to me, and much of their growth and less to do with who they were as opposed to where Nix needed them to be (Sabriel in particular did not strike me as particularly emotive or deep).

The world is one of the best I've read in fantasy. I could read stories about the Old Kingdom for hours and be totally content. Would love to see how he adapts the Old Kingdom to match modern Ancelstierre w/o the addition of the technology in Ancelstierre. I'm sure having someone like Nick, who I'm sure would travel back and forth, as an advisor to Sam, would be able to bring back blueprints of technology for Sam to adapt and use w Charter Magic.

Also, Charter Magic. So fucking well thought out and cool.

Fuck yeah, Abhorsen

>>88763552

Yeah but the build up felt completely organic and natural. There was no shocker moments, no sudden dive into madness.

very well constructed story

>>88763509
Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case
Good story. Nick spends Lireal and Abhorsen basically in a trance, so it gives him some desperately needed redemption.

Apparently Nix is writing a sequel called Goldenhand. I didn't think Clariel was very good,so I'm hoping this one will be better...

>>88763605
If you liked Hester and Shrike, then the fourth book should be right up your alley. The prequels were surprisingly good as well.

>>88763620
Goldenhand is out apparently as well
https://www.amazon.com/Goldenhand-Old-Kingdom-Garth-Nix/dp/0061561584

>>88763655
There were prequels?!?

>>88763614
We got like three volumes of that light-hearted shit before things got dark, and even then it was never that edgy it built up itself from funny cow-race adventure to dragon lore and evil locust god

>>88763674
Three prequels, the first of which (Fever Crumb) was pretty good, and the second and third of which (A Web of Air and Scrivener's Moon) were great.

For what it's worth, I'd recommend Reeve's other stuff too: Railhead and Here Lies Arthur.

>>88763106
Honestly any Sega IP (Except Sonkc but even then I'd kill people for a cartoon that took place in the actual game universe, or hell, Archie ) would be perfect for an adaptation.

But yeah, I'd watch a Camp Half-blood show. To be frank, I agree with you, the movies are bull.

>>88763497
The books really aren't that good, especially the first one. I don't know if you've looked at it recently, but the writing looks and feels exactly the same as every other teenager's first story. It's clumsy, filled with useless exposition, made-up-as-he-went-and-then-forgotten details, and the plot itself is almost a paint by numbers retelling of A New Hope. A lot of us loved it when we were kids, but goddamn dude, it was not good at all.

>>88760737
>I remember loving these books as a kid then later realizing it was basically a series of bad fanfic.

childhood is loving the plot
adulthood is realizing that the worldbuilding is the best

no joke the whole setting is awesome even now

very interested to see where the series goes after Paolini finishes his Sci-Fi book next year, once you clear out the stupid Star Wars plot, you could do anything with that setting

i was butthurt that he was lazy with the writing and threw out deus ex machina's everywhere in the last book, but i wasnt reading still at that point anyway

the level of detail in the battles was kickass, as was the one bit where he forges a sword (influenced by a book Paolini read on Japanese sword forging apparently), that and the languages, the politics, religious arguments, was why it was all worthwhile

Why didn't they ever make a comfy harry potter cartoon instead of a bunch of forgettable, compressed to shit movies?

>>88761998
Fuck this fucking noise. The only interesting part would be to see the light-threads to metal visually and watch the parkour. That book is so incredibly bullshit and poorly paced garbage.

>>88764927

But the worldbuilding wasn't even that good. It was highly derivative of other works and did very little new. Pair that with the bad writing and you have what is essentially the popular junk food equivalent of fantasy novels.

ok but so is almost everything else in this thread

if you were butthurt at writers using elves, heroes journey plots, and magic then you'd have a list from here to Mars

harder than you'd think to extrapolate what made the Inheritance/Eragon series more derivative than its contemporaries, than any other fantasy series

still, the criticism is valid, hopefully he improves in his subsequent writings

>>88765288
Here's the thing though, a generic setting can be saved by a few original additions and good writing. The Inheritance books didn't bother doing that.

>>88765053
1. i like maps and used to draw them like the one in the book
2. i grew up out in an isolated community of 10,000 people much like Paolini, so i appreciate more than most cityfolk would all the many descriptions about the scenery, the mountains, the wildlife (people forget he had encounters with all sorts of interesting creatures like the sea serpents, the shadow owls, etc)
3. details for each city as they were under attack was fantastic

you could further and say that he's a much better human than his cousin full stop

Eragon is a pretty fucking flawed "hero", which is mainly why i felt so short-changed when we didnt learn his true name

also really really liked the way Roran grew into an anti-magic dude, the comment about the Riders being basically gods on point

You can't tell me that if the plot was condensed that /co/ wouldn't be tripping over themselves for an EGS cartoon.

That didn't come until the last book, where Paolini started regretting the stupid shit he wrote in the first one

the anime is the only adaptation that went ahead because everyone who approached the author wanted to change too much. The anime staff were the most faithful, so she approved it.

Everybody's posting fantasy noveld, huh. I guess there is a hole in the market for a serious animated fantasy series. Soemone should get on that.

There was the anime adaptation of this back in the 80's, but having a full fledged animated series start to finish would be amazing. It'd be neat to have a GL/Lensman crossover since the GL mythos is so heavily inspired by them.

>>88764992
Yes. Dude had no ability at all to interact with people at all. I have no idea who should have been fired for the stupid idea of putting him out there

I mean hey he wrote a book, a bad by the numbers chosen one fantasy book, but he still wrote a published book so props to him. But he should not have been put in front of a crowd

And sorry forgot to add that part. Wrote that story wayyyyyy to late, hell its technically too early now >.<

On top of the lack of general fantasy right now, there is just a lack of fucking dragon fantasy
I think HTTYD is the first animated feature aimed at kids with dragons that acted like honest to god dragons and not just fluffy nice little bitches or lazy assholes, or who weren't all evil.

Speaking of dragons, pic related
I like skylanders alright but Im still waiting for a proper series or movie for this guy and the other spyro cast members

It can't be done. Plague Knight is best Knight.

Could anyone figure out the triology i read as a kid?

>all the names were something like a wizards might or a hero's courage (google , of course does jack shit to help the search)
>order of the books titular heroes is warrior > wizard > hero
>the mother of the MC in the third book(i think, might have been the second one) has been in something like the everfall for fucking ever as some sort of punishment, then dies at the beginning of the book.
>third book ends with the hero dying by getting roasted until only a lump of coal remained by the beast he was prophecied to fight.
>magic might also have died after this, returning everything to normal.

There's an off chance that it's a swedish triology since i read it in my language when i was a kid, but does anyone recognize it?

>>88766041
Wish I could help you, that sounds pretty cool.

>>88761154
Never seen that image before and it's brilliant. What is sauce?

>>88765994

be hard to top that romance, just..my heart. So much Hnnnng

>>88765974
Maybe Specter Knight will pull the feels strings?

Shovel Knight came out as a bit of an asshole in that dlc tho.

>>88766136

He's a knight on a mission, cut him some slack dude saw some shit. Plus the only ones he was rude to where people who are for all intents, the bad guys.

>>88765864

it would be like Adventure Time but with a million different knights instead of princesses

>>88764207
That is in Alien

this shit right here,

i mean bob is already a cartoon character as is

>>88761648
I tried reading this, but it didn't really hook me. I read the first book, up until their flying machine something gets shot down or something. Fuck, I read it last year and can't remember shit.

What I'm trying to ask is: What is the appeal?

>>88766312
Needs to be an anime than cartoon.

>>88766339
Its appeal is the absurd, it's like a more comfy and childlike version of Joyce or a more modern Alice in Wonderland

Also the art is better than anything else and I like just going through the pages admiring it tbqh

>>88766312
>>88766343
All you'd need is to cartoonify that show with the succubus main character and tick tick timebomb girl

Always hated that main character so the more detective-like Dresden files MC would be a lot more interesting to me

>>88761638
We already have a few of his works made into cartoons and movies.
Hogfather was great. They didn't do Soul Music justice. Color of magic was great, in my opinion, and WHERE'S MY LORDS AND LADIES!

Hate to say it, but the Thing is too OP to work as an animated series antagonist. Pretty much the only reason it doesn't automaticly win is becasue its stuck in plantless frozen wasteland.

The movie was utter shit, and had nothing to do with the book.
It's based on interviews with characters, which could easily be translated into an episodic solution.
That scene when the zombies of New York are approaching the army.
