Amazon's Lord of the Rings

>Amazon's Lord of the Rings
>Netflix's The Witcher
>Sony's Wheel of Time

All 3 were green-lit to cash in on the success of GoT, but which tv series will truly be the "next Game of Thrones"?

In terms of success and popularity with general audiences? None of them.

Witcher because it's the only one with GoT levels of sex and violence.

LotR will be successful because it's LotR.

WoT is YA fantasy, it'll suck.

Can you imaging it? Sup Forums will have 4 threads where we can discuss and shitpost wonderfully.

/got/
/witcher/
/twot/
/lotr/

I can only dream...

The story in the witcher is trash. They're target demographic is going to be teenagers.

I played a game based on Wheel of Time and its fucking garbage.

LotR will get the brainlets.

They will probably fuck up The Witcher.

Believe it or not, it will be The Witcher.

they'll all be trash

>tfw no Gemmel or Moorcock kino in the works

F-fuck you Hollywood.

Witcher has sex so that one.

this because
> it's the only one with GoT levels of sex and violence

This

just like pic related?

Don't forget about KingKiller Chronicles.

Wheel of Time is probably fucked trying to adapt to audiences
LOTR will forever be compared to the movies
Witcher can be its own thing, they have the author on board. Its the most likely to not be total shit

The problem is even with GoT budget, Witcher is all about monsters so the CGI budget will be dried up super fast and lead to non-Witcher work

Which will they ruin the hardest by turning it into a SJW shoutpiece?

so does wheel of time, lots of nudity too more than asoiaf books

There is plenty non monster stuff. Gots lots of elf dwarf human drama in it, so maybe they will go that angle more than the path one.

When will we get the Discworld Cinematic Universe?

and Hulu's Throne of Glass

I'd say WoT. I just hope the Trollocs don't look too fake.

can costumes like, for example, nilfgaardian or redanian armor cost much to make?

>"and henceforth, all seasons of Rome beyond season 2 shall be cancelled."

so has porn finally become part of mainstream shows?

Are you kidding? That's a terrible series, one of the worst I've ever read.

They can have nice looking armor, like early GoT, or shit armor like GoT S5 and on

If they keep the nudity (harder and harder to do in the neo-puritanical and also feminist era we are in) an do it in your face along with violence and manage to tell a story they'll be fine. The problem always comes when they try to sterilize things, remove "offensive" or "problematic" shit, and crap out something no one wants to watch anymore. The people who matter in terms of viewer numbers are not the critics or SJWs or execs who want to to be safe for all ages. They are the ones who fuck up movies. The people who matter for viewer numbers still want to feel like they're getting an all on one event with the sex and violence. It's a testament to executive and critic disconnect that no one understands that.

>inb4 go watch porn. Fuck off, not the same as seeing it with characters you get to know on a show you follow.

I want a Generation Kill-like series in the Black Company universe first
Would be pretty cheap as far as special effects go too

Fuck this shit. I'm not gonna read another fantasy book serie, I have my fucking hands full on Witcher, Wheels of Time and I'm still waiting for fatman to finish and release TWOW & ADOS.

no

When Terry Gilliam decides to make it. This kind of series has so many ways it can be fucked up.

Wheel of time SUCKS

My greatest fear is that LOTR series will end up being clone of game of thrones being set in middle-earth. What I mean is, it will lose the bit arcane and fairytale-like quality that books and the films had

LOTR will be dead before the season is over because 9/10 chance it'll be about Aragorn and Gandalf's journeys or some new stuff no one gives a shit about instead of the Silmarillion

Mi negro.

The good news is you don't really need to worry about that
The bad news is you don't need to worry about that because there's approximatively a 99% chance of it happening

Whoever gets the rights to The Soldier Son or the Farseer Trilogy.

Wheel of Time doesn't suck. It has faults for sure but it's still one of the best fantasy series of recent times.

It would suck as a TV series though, it's not written in a way to make a good show.

So.. Who is the niggerest/islamist will win

Netflix has brand recognition and rights to The Witcher, which is one of the most popular game series of all time. And basically no one actually subscribes to Amazon Prime except for students who cancel after the 6 month trial ends.

Lord of the Rings needs to be better and even more faithful to the source material than PJ's LotR in order to justify itself. I say it's about 50/50 chance Amazon pulls it off. If not, might be the snowball effect that might potentially sink the company.

The Witcher will be an edgy, yet somewhat toned down adaption that fails to live up to the video games, but will surpass the literary source material. An above mediocre series that will be popular, but quickly forgotten and, what's worse, tv money will ruin the video game franchise.

I'm betting The Wheel of Time will be a horse no one expects to compete as well it does quality wise, seeing that the source material arguably lends itself the best to a tv adaption, but nobody will watch it and it will be cancelled prematurely.

Witcher.
LotR will be a pointless fanfic.

whoever adapts this first

>50/50 chance
After that piece of shit game?

Do we even know who's making any of these series? Who's the showrunner, who are the writers, who's directing, what production companies/film crew are being used, etc.?

Someone should of thrown those mademen from the Tarpeian Rock

>there's like a war and shit
>and this guy is like super badass and powerful
>they kill each other and shiet
>then this other guy has this epic object
>and the fight gets even more epic
>dude w40k novels are so good

Is it an adaption of said game? Was Amazon its developer?

you read them you tell me. I'm a 30k purist

Is amazon known for its respect of source materials? And the worrying part is that this was authorised at all by someone

The Witcher

>not famous like LOTR, so book lovers will get pissed if its not exactly alike, just like GOT
>LOTR already has a near 10/10 movies series, so LOTR series has HUGE shoes to fill
>WOT is extremely long, so either the show will lose steam, or a bunch of cutting will occur and make the show feel wrong
>Witcher has a game series, so the fans who like the games are already a sure thing to watch

LOTR has a small chance of being kino, but it'll flounder.

Witcher will be a smash hit, be the new GOT

WOT will flop HARD

I've never read one but my autistic cousin keeps talking about them.

what the fuck is going on? you putting a trap as a main character???

what a fucking waste of time

I don't know anything about Wheel Of Time, but if is with sony, well, is B-Type Saga, Sony always produces B-Shit-Shows.

Still wondering why again LoTR, maybe another part of series, like Turin Turambar Story, or even Beren & Luthien. Why are they bothering with another remake? really, why?

about witcher, well, ok, go on.

GoT is not even finished, and you asking about its legacy?? fuck you are retard bro, GoT still the Top-Tier in medieval stuff, well at least on TV (not gonna drop another LoTR vs GoT)

>he still thinks GRRM will finish

He isnt man, he just isnt. I gave up, Im not even watching the show.

>Why are they bothering with another remake? really, why?
They literally will never get the rights to adapt anything else thanks to based Christopher Tolkien.

>you were born just in time for the remake century
kill me

I think it's less a question of authorization as it was to win the rights to the tv adaption during a closed bidding war between the streaming services high rollers. As to your apparent fears of it alienating stomfag sensibilities, you shouldn't't worry. Amazon is big enough to worry more about how they'll do in the fast expanding Asian market than any Californian crocodile tears backlash, so it will probably be whiter than Snow White, and more Brit than the Peter Jackson flicks to appease the die hards. It's actually the later that worries me, because in order to outclass PJ, it needs to be closer to the source, which might translate to an expensive slog for general audiences who want tits 'n gore.

only took 7 to get to the best post.

Once upon a time they said the same with the superior opera prima that we know as LoTR. Let's hope they bring something of the Children Of Hurin.

>he doesn't know

He relinquished the rights, hes no longer the holder, its probably one of his children now. That era is over now

The real next GoT is the inevitable Stormlight Archives tv show.

it will be just like the punisher , they need to tone it down so that the normalfags can relate to it

Isn't Rincewind supposed to be in his twenties?

stormlight archives cdprojekt video game when

Fuck no. Gratuitous sex and violence cheapens shows. Go watch porn.

There were rumors of a Dies the Fire show a few years ago, that could give GoT a run for its money

Unbiased view?
The Witcher.
LOTR will also be a successful alternative.
Wheel of Time was unreadable from the first book. It won't stand a chance as a series.

>Witcher because it's the only one with GoT levels of sex and violence
Sup Forumsirgins will be seething when Geralt spends three episodes at the dinner table of some beauty and the best monster guy.

NO

ONLY HBO SHOULD DO FNATSY

>having such low standards as to equate watching porn with watching actresses and characters you build a connection with nude
If there was no distinction between known actresses / characters and cheap whores on film then there would be no Rule 34. Just because you can't comprehend the difference doesn't mean there is no difference.

GoT is the WoW of TV shows.

There will literally be thousands of "GoT killers" that'll just try to mimic the same level of success, but with none coming close to doing so. Shills will flood the media, hyping these shows up and touting all the cool stuff that their shows feature, but in the end GoT will die via eventually jumping the shark and getting canceled after a huge drop in views.

Mistborn Platinum Games game when

If Dragonlance were adapted, who would play Raistlin Majere?

Feist's Riftwar cycle would make a great TV show, especially if they did the two planets right.

Idris Elba

> GoT is the WoW of TV shows.
> There will literally be thousands of "GoT killers"
> You know remember Warhammer Online
WH:Fantasy TV show could be awesome but what you just said left the worst taste in my mount. I wish we ended in 2012.

The Black Company is getting an adaptation too, with total qt Eliza Dushku as the Lady.

My father always pushed the Magician books on me. I read Apprentice but don't remember much.

God damn it. It will never happen.

Lol, just keep fucking your favorite animu character pillows loser

>the "next game of thrones"

kys

Can't wait to see how Amazon fixes the cis white masculinity of the problematic LOTR

It's pretty entry level, but comfy nonetheless. Military strategy is in there a lot, little bit of romance you'd love as a kid (boy saves girl from trolls with new found magic) and a lot of mystery (Macros the Black, world of Kelewan, Pugs powers, Thomas' lich king style powers, the dragon lords, the hall of worlds).

It's not the best by any means but its comfy.

Only if they stick to the northern lands and stay the fuck away from the dumb Africa journey. That was such a drag.

>I don't know anything about Wheel Of Time
but I have a valid opinion

I always wanted this done right. Would have to be a unique actor to be so frail. It would take The Machinist dedication because he's supposed to pretty much my Mr. Ms. Skeletor.

which will have the most waifus?

The Witcher I want the most to be a success. I think it will end up being an embarrassing disaster.

WoT will probably be forgettable.

The LotR prequel might actually be good.

Wheel of Time, hands down.

Lord of the rings, way to open for liberalism, not familiar with wheel of time enough.

Just watch them make the orcs white in the Lord of the rings

To his father shit. Silmarillion and other stuff he wrote with his father notes technically belong to himself. Hope he disown his family and pass the rights to someone based as him

WoT is too campy and sexy for "modern" audiences, so they will probably end up toning it down and it'll be shit.

prepare for your waifu to get cut from the plot or combined with another character.

Yeah but Josh Kirby dgaf. He also drew Twoflower with four eyes just because he's called "four eyes" once in the book due to wearing glasses.

At worst they'll turn Min bi or jewish or something.
At least I don't have to worry about them fucking with Lanfear

/lotr/ will have plenty of people hating the race changes and all; /wot/ will last a year cause it's a show owned by Sony; and thankfully /got/ is almost over.

only /wit/ will reign supreme.

Team Rand = trash waifu tier
Forsaken = highest quality

he was talking about sony, can't you read a complete sentence?

The one with a transparent taxation system
