It's sorta like when they finally got around to adapting A Princess of Mars.
At this point everyone knows the tropes but not the story itself, so what they'll end up making will either feel really cliched, or will be changed to the point that it's hardly the same property. I'm surprised they didn't do it during the swords and sorcery craze Hollywood went through after the Lord of the Rings though.

That craze gave us Eragorn. Thank god it didn't happen then.
>At this point everyone knows the tropes but not the story itself, so what they'll end up making will either feel really cliched, or will be changed to the point that it's hardly the same property.
French adaptation is pretty good so far so i'm still holding out hope.
And Princess of Mars/John Carter was handled by the absolute worst sects of Disney. It had very little hope of succeeding.
>>92694786
Well they already have plenty in common with Melnibone then.

>[...] In these books, Elric is written as a deliberate reversal of what Moorcock saw as clichés commonly found in fantasy adventure novels inspired by the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, and a direct antithesis of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian.
>Moorcock's work is complex and multilayered. Central to many of his fantasy novels is the concept of an "Eternal Champion", who has potentially multiple identities across multiple dimensions of reality and alternative universes. [...] This cosmology is called the "Multiverse"
That's real nice. I was just looking for a fantasy thing to read, thanks for making me look into it, man, I'll get myself the first book.

Have one for the road

>>92694730
Turin's dad was the rear guard as the forces of men and elves retreated from a massive field engagement with the armies of Morgoth. He killed fourty armored trolls in his last stand before becoming encumbered under the movies of the dead. Morgoth found him, sat him on a throne on a mountain peak enchanted to give boundless vision, and cursed Hurin's children with the specter of his ill will. As a result of this his children are cursed to fail and corrupt everything they attempt, and have lives of violence, tragedy, accidental incest, accidental kingdom destruction, and incidental dragon slaying.

>>92695743
>>92695743
>accidental incest
Guess in that department he's better than Elric since it was on accident. Or would it be worse?
But morality when it comes to Melniboneans is very different.

>>92695784
His sister's memory had been suppressed by a dragon and they grew up seperately, and they killed the dragon and themselves over it.

>>92695901

Been trying to buy the novels for like a year now, but my god damn collector habits won't allow me to get the books from different publishing houses.

>>92696739
You're pretty spoiled for choice nowadays. My publisher of choice nowadays for this is Orion/Gollancz.
It doesn't have the brilliant illustrations of the Del Rey editions nor the gorgeous hardcover variants by Millenium but they collect the entire series and they have a good typeset.

Who can storytime?

Anyone one have a Moorcock comic rec list? Specifically one for Elric? I recently read the Corum comics and was looking for more stuff of his to read.

>>92698572
All of it as well as the french adaptations
Himme a couple of days and i'lls storytime the french one and put up my old downloads that have the whole saga. That's if yuou want to wait. Get the volumes by Titan if you want physical. Best option you have.

>>92698762

>An example of how lightly sex, including incest and homosexuality, is treated at the End of Time can be found in the early chapters of An Alien Heat. In the chapter "A Conversation with the Iron Orchid" Jherek has sex with his mother, and in the chapter "Carnelian Conceives a New Affectation" he has a same-sex encounter with Lord Jagged. (Likewise, in Legends from the End of Time, the Iron Orchid makes love to My Lady Charlotina.) When Jherek decides to fall in love with Mrs. Underwood to the exclusion of everyone else, everyone applauds his original thinking.
Lord Jagged is revealed to be his father in the last book
