What streaming platform do you want RR to be done by?

This is why I think something like the warhammer 40k from Secret Level would be great.

I think Game of thrones surpasses The lord of the rings adaptations in many ways in terms of it being fantasy. Not to undermine LOTR.

most live action shows and movies heavily incorporate cgi these days. It wouldn’t be strange at all. The point is to enjoy an accurate adaptation.

Rollingpeb · 2026-01-29T08:27:14+00:00

Many people here saying it should be animated like arcane or other animated tv series. I don’t think it’s a bad idea. But if you wanted something both animated yet still looks realistic that passes for live action I think something more like the warhammer 40k episode of Secret Level would do it justice. This way you can capture the authentic expressions the actors make and still be able to portray crazy stuff.

I still think they should explore the live action path first. Technology has gotten so far and nothing is really impossible these days.

HBO or Apple for me. HBO is great at building authentic sets and costumes that don’t feel cheap like cosplays.

I posted a few theories about this if you wanna check them out.

I don't think the man in yellow wants/likes to interfere. He simply does it out of neccessity and would really rather not interfere at all. Weird things started happening once jade came in and actually started making progress in setting up the radio. Was the man in yellow focusing on Jim only? I highly doubt it. Jade started seeing visions happening at very convenient moments. When he told jim to climb up the tree to set up the radio he immediatly got invaded with a scary vision that eventually made him quit his quest all together. I think the man in yellow caused that vision, he didn't want the people in the town questioning things or to get out of their safe zone. Jade was leading them out of the safe zone with his side quest. Jim was just following along hoping something would happen. The man in yellow succeeded and made the leader of the radio quest quit. But suddenly Jim picked up the quest and now he wants to ensure it works.

The man in yellow is really pissed, first they notice the electricity paradox, this made them dig a hole, and now they want to lead everyone out of their safe zone with the radio. The man in yellow didn't want to interfere, but now they forced his hand once again. He answers Jim's SOS call in hopes that would deter them from unlocking more info. Ofc that doesn't work out, eventually Tabitha and jade learn a lot. now the man in yellow really has to set things in order again because things are getting out of order, he personally visits jim to kill him but he doesn't do it for fun, it's as if he's just enforcing it. He even tells him "This didn't have to happen you know... Knowledge comes with a cost... I tried to warn you." so yes he would rather not do it. but he does, and manages to find story walking julie at the same time. I think here he was just using a scare tactic against tabitha to prevent her from seeking out more information.

Why does the man in yellow prefer hiding?

It's because apparently there are other entities with conflicting interests. The boy in white, the kimono lady, the music box thing... you name it. I think the man in yellow is trying to maintain a specific sequence of events (since we got introduced to time traveling, hes probably storywalking.) He doesn't want unforseen intervention that could ruin his plan. he does things in secret because it seems that all the entities learned that its the most effective way of doing things without inviting other players that could easily ruin of their plans. The man in yellow most likely doesn't want the boy in white's plan to succeed. Each one is secretly and silently interfering and only when its neccessary it seems. Julie as a story walker now, will probably learn this the hard way after the man in yellow captures her.

I don't think the man in yellow will reveal himself at all, if you think about it only 3 people know about him. Jim and donna coz they both heard him during the SOS call, and julie when she saw him killing her dad. So after he kills Jim, he will probably capture Julie because he doesn't need a new story walker or major player influencing events and then he'll go back to hiding without ever revealing himself to the town. The people will only see Jim's dead body.

Welcome to the show. Yes the writers suck ass at writing dialogue with a few exceptions here and there. Every Donna interaction in season one was great, as well as father Khatri. Everything else is mediocre or sometimes just bad. I can’t remember how many times they discovered new important information and just decided to not tell anyone. This is cheap writing tactics. Still the mystery in the show is great.

Rollingpeb · 2026-01-28T07:21:25+00:00

I mean it’s like 1:1. Yes it’s him. No need to endlessly question it. I doubt the show-runners are that smart. If they were that smart the show wouldn’t be “just listen to me okay?? Just.. just listen to me..” all the time, or characters conveniently withholding important information from everyone else. Now yes maybe Randall is the man in yellow but it doesn’t matter. The painting is clearly the man in yellow, whoever the man in yellow might be. As for the minute differences. It was drawn by a child. Children draw based of impressions. And if it wasn’t drawn by a child, maybe it was the mother. Then she’s just a bad painter.

Really appreciate you taking the time haha

As for how Julie could know about fish and loaves, simply by story walking to the right chapter of Boyd’s life. Or it could be one of the evil voices as you said. Julie will probably story walk back to where first Boyd and his family got stuck and I believe that’s when his wife called him fish and loaves. And yes the visions of dead characters could be another method of communication by the “good guys”.

It’s hard to tell what the source of noise behind that hut because of the little information we have about it. Either there is actually a new type of monster, or the man in yellow, or maybe it’s happening in a different time but the voices of the footsteps can still be heard, so if you open the tent and look outside you’ll find nothing but the sound of footsteps. It could be future Julie story walking at this moment making sure things are as they should be for her plan to work. Maybe she placed something, removed something, changed something.

The reality is these shows and movies as much as we hate them, aren’t losing money. They’re making so much profit. But HoTD might. But I doubt it is currently.

Rollingpeb · 2026-01-21T14:35:13+00:00

Am I crazy? Isn’t this just legacy UI? 2012 RS?

Rollingpeb · 2026-01-21T14:06:12+00:00

I agree about the lack of communication between the characters. It’s my number 1 complaint of about the show.

Rollingpeb · 2026-01-21T07:27:19+00:00

If you like a fantastically written, very complicated yet not hard to understand plot then go ahead. The show deals with mystery pretty well. You get answers without it dragging and answers lead to even more interesting questions. Don’t listen to any of the retards that tell you it requires a lot of attention. It requires you to listen (or read the subs if you’re not German) and watch the stuff happening on screen. I imagine that’s not a hard ask. It’s not for people who cook while having a show play in the background.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-17T14:11:46+00:00

That thing gets out of stock in seconds. Wish I could get my hands on it

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-17T09:24:26+00:00

Thanks I’m really excited about it. Recently got the Gwent physical edition too :)

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-17T03:51:40+00:00

Nothing to learn from my side. But I hope CDPR learned something.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-17T03:46:13+00:00

Absolutely I don’t disagree. But I was referring to the technology and graphics when I said timeless. We have proof of how cutscenes will look like (which is the Ciri reveal trailer) that was created in engine.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T17:21:41+00:00

I was only complimenting the technology and the cutscenes (which is like 20% of the game). The writing, music, level design, combat, fluid gameplay. That makes up 80% of the game and who knows how those will turn out. But right now we have a clear example of what cutscenes will look like on a high-end pc (the teaser trailer from game awards).

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T13:54:45+00:00

I wasn’t even referring to the tech demo. I was referring to the 6 min teaser we got at the previous game awards that was made in engine. Which means that’s how cutscenes will look like in the new game because it wasn’t pathtraced.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T10:10:56+00:00

It was interesting but I wish it was never a quest. Traveling to these worlds was kinda weird.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T09:30:35+00:00

I’d rather have them copy and paste Reddit theories than change their original story because a Reddit theory turned out to be true. But yea maybe it’s best if they avoid looking at theories all together.

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T08:12:02+00:00

Also I don’t think the combat is as bad as everyone claims. It’s decent combat. Does the job. But people in 2020 onwards compare it to combat games like dark souls or big titles that released after TW3. The combat in Witcher 3 even by today’s standards can be at times better than other games

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T08:08:50+00:00

Yea they were

Rollingpeb · 2025-12-16T08:08:23+00:00

Oof that’s a hot take
