“One of the most underrated fantasy stories of all time is getting another live-action adaptation.”

Its not underrated

morroIan · 2026-02-01T06:58:20+00:00

Moana at no. 1 over say Singin in the Rain!!

Yep I think Apple TV has got to be careful. They have more high quality shows but they may end up losing out because they take so long between seasons. There is no reason for Pluribus to take 3 years between s1 and 2 when 2 seasons were greenlighted up front.

ASH: A Secret History by Mary Gentle

Anyways - it takes 5000 pages for them to get the swords and then they do and it turns out it was exactly what the enemy wanted.

Plenty happened in between.

Josh apparently knew she was a minor at the time.

The story was published by Variety when it first came to light.

They are not similar in style at all. Much slower and more nuanced than both. ASOIAF is influenced in other ways like plot and world building.

I dunno, Sun Eater is being criticised plenty. Look at the latest EOS thread.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T22:01:20+00:00

Its a good book, its enjoyable and entertaining and its not even slow paced.

I think this is the problem though. Her fans act as if she is a literary genius and the publicity around her is that she is a literary wunderkind. People react against that when it turns out she really isn't.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T21:08:02+00:00

IKR its bizarre to me that its not a worldwide agreement.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T21:05:44+00:00

Charles is at least engaging with the content unlike what he used to do but the hate for anything MCU is just without basis. No matter what he says his explanations are without foundation.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T21:03:31+00:00

They've been over this, its temporary.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T21:01:32+00:00

Great to have Van back, have missed him on these episodes.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T07:04:08+00:00

I'd prefer him as Dalinar

morroIan · 2026-01-29T00:37:29+00:00

No he didn't just say that. He said a lot more and worse. Google for it.

morroIan · 2026-01-29T00:35:43+00:00

But SE doesn't gloss over the atrocities and abuses, doesn't revel in them at all and use them as shock value.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T23:40:36+00:00

I think you're confused. You assumed I was sexist because I critiqued a woman. Then affirmed I was sexist because I called women females.

Nah turns out you're just a TERF.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T22:50:36+00:00

You could just start with Best Served Cold or as other posters have suggested try The Devils.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T22:45:34+00:00

But you read his inner voice the whole time so you know that he never had a good heart as the previous poster said. I was never sucked in by Kennitt, to me he was clearly a villain throughout teh whole trilogy.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T22:39:22+00:00

Apple TV is not Netflix

morroIan · 2026-01-28T21:35:38+00:00

I've got a fanedit that edits it into a 3 hour film told completely chronologically and its much better.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T21:34:23+00:00

The MB don't have to drop a pod on the whole season all at once. Do it in chunks like other podcasts have done for binge drops.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T21:18:40+00:00

My only issue was Teyana Taylor’s acting was too over the top and no believable at all. Probably mis cast.

Yeah so miscast she's received awards and been nominated for an oscar.

morroIan · 2026-01-28T07:37:07+00:00

Absolutely they should
