>Now that the Dark Tower series is being ruined
>we should also ruin the Elric series
When we get a real Sword of Truth series. It still amazes me that they turned those books into kid shows.
And then there was that time that Elric went on stage with Hawkwind.

But still. How the fuck can you even do a satisfying adaptation of this monstrosity of a work?
Have you considered that it's five decades worth of material? Why hasn't anyone done ANYTHING with it?
I KNOW ABOUT THE CORNELIUS MOVIE. IT DOESN'T FUCKING COUNT.
They did? Holy shit. Source me nigga.
...
What the hell is this?
Redpill me on Elric.
Also someone please redpill me on Book of the New Sun.
>Redpill me on Elric.
Meaning...?
They turned Sword of Truth series into a Xena like show.
please tell me why he's so beloved and important
Why am I not that surprised?
Redpill means grotesquely misinform him.
Something stupid like "Yyrkoon did nothing wrong."
>please tell me why he's so beloved and important
The first edgelord before that was even a thing but he's "Edge done right".
He's a complete reversal of the fantasy archetype. Whereas Conan was a big dude with an axe and was after a paycheck and bitches to fuck, Elric is frail, a philosopher and an Emperor(at the start and self exiled by the end of the prequel) and destined to fight against Chaos and Law for the sake of the Cosmic Balance.
He's fantasy's original antihero which almost every other effort since got its inspiration from.
From Warhammer to DnD, the Eternal Champion's influence is vast.
Also, Stormbringer and Melniboneans as a whole.
Law vs Chaos as allignments where first done by Poul Anderson but Moorcock expanded upon it and made it the core focus of the Eternal Champion saga and explored its themes and roles in fantasy.
Of course Yyrkoon did nothing wrong. He's being true to his nature as a Melnibonean. It's not his problem that Elric was a naive, young idiot that underestimated everything.
As someone once described him, he's a creature of Chaos consigned to the cause of Law by the aberrant whim of a vengeful God.
And we're not even talking about the meta series as a whole either.
Also, you like Targaryens and how Valyria had dragons?
Because Valyria, is a mere shadow of what Melnibone is even in its waning years.
You got Moorcock to thank for that subplot by the way. He and GRRM are friends.
Thanks.
now do Book of the New Sun pls
I'm not a fantasy guy but people keep reccing those, despite them seeming the same as everything else to me. (I know BotNS is technically considered to be SF)
The trailer makes the Dark Tower look like generic Hollywood slop.
I only love LOTR due to the scene where Galadriel was riverdancing though

CRY FOR TANELORN

MORE-COCK you hack fuck off
Tolkien laughs at you from beyond the grave
