>witcher>lord of the rings>wheel of timeI think society is ready for Hollywood tot take on the greatest fantasy series ELRIC
>>215681717Razor...come on man
>>215681717>Idris Elba IS Elric!How about no
>>215682121Moorcock unironically made a joke about Elric being into BBC, so he'd be all for it
>>215682144No, he compared Elric's sword to "black phallus"
No. Leave Eric of Mandalay Bay alone. Normies don't know about him. The sooner they find out, the sooner it gets massacred.
>>215681717They'd ruin it and make it all about Cymoril or people would just immediately assume it's a Witcher or House of the Dragon ripoff even though both of those shows draw huge inspiration from Moorcock. I don't think it could work unless you just do the first novella Elric of Melnibone. That aside I think Henry Cavil would be the ideal Yyrkoon. Maybe Cate Blanchette as Cymoril. No idea who could play Elric.
>>215682121He'd still have to painted white to play an albino
>>215681717No director could handle this level of Fantasy
>>215681717I would watch it, just to witness the resulting no-budget trainwereck and Moorcock seething for the rest of his days.
>>215682182>Normies don't know about hiNigga, Elric is like one of the most known stuff in fantasy. Here goes your zoomoid fantasy about being special, because you read specific kind of fantasy gay porn
>>215681717Did Moorcock popularize the idea of multiverse ?
>>215682189Just thought of who'd be the best Elric but they are dead now. Julian Sands. I think he'd be able to capture Elric's aura perfectly if he was alive.>>215683286Yes. Lots of stuff ripped off Moorcock like Marvel or Warhammer and they weren't even subtle about it.
>>215682859Not to mention the budget you'd need. Elric is heavy on the psychedelic visuals, it's the opposite of grounded and gritty.
>>215682896Red Sonja really wasn't that bad, and might have made for a worthwhile miniseries instead of a movie.
>>215683361I'll have to see how Panos Cosmatos handles his out of space sci fi film Nekrokosm and see if he could do a fantasy film
>>215682917normies don't do fantasy beyond LotR and GoTsorry that you are so autistic you don't even know what normies do
>>215683326He would certainly nail the creepy part. The dude who played Prince Nuada in Hellboy 2 could work.
>>215681717You know you are begging for a negriod monkey paw right?
>>215683426>sorry that you are so autistic you don't even know what normies doPeak irony
>>215681717Elric would probably work best as, may Allah forgive me for uttering this, an anime.
>>215683391I never said anything about the quality of the movie - and I had a blast watching it, precisely for all its shortcomings.I'm still confused they went with the 12 mil budget after all the trouble that went into making the movie at all, but hey, it's their decision if they want to make a really low low-budget fantasy flickStill: I want some low-budget, no-effort attempt to make Elric adaptation. Not for the sake of the adaptation, but just so Moorcock can spend his final years sour and pissant.
>>215683575t. redditor that does not know what irony means
>>215681717Only if you can get Deep Purple back together to do the entire soundtrack.
>>215681717No, thank you. There is only one actor that could have played Elric and that´s young Jonathan Rhys Meyers as he was when he played Steerpike in Gormenghast. Hollywood, as it is right now, would only do to Elric what they did to Roland Deschain from The Dark Tower. Until Hollywood decides to regain it´s sanity and use the same mind set LOTR used, that is to put it´s own ideological bullshit aside and do their best to respect the original author´s vision they should stay far away from all classic fantasy.
>>215682917Even the normies into fantasy don't know about Eric of Melnuhbone. The closest they get is knowing about Drizzt from being into modern DnD and WoTC. Elric hasn't had any adaptations. Normies absolutely don't know about Elric.
So elrics whole thing is he’s a self hating white leftist who destroys his own empire of fantasy Britain because it’s heckin racist and that’s why he’s considered a hero? Basically an antifa power fantasy?
>>215683758Correct. He also loves bbc, he’s the ultimate woke lib hero
Stick a wig on Austin Butler in Dunc 2 and you have a decent Elric casting.
>>215681717Don't even try to adapt it you fucking normie
>>215683758>>215683772kek what?it's been awhile since i've read them and i only read the first 3what are you referring to?
>>215682917People who write fantasy know Elric, normies who consume said fantasy don't. You'll see the characters and themes referenced almost everywhere if you know what you're looking for, but most normal people aren't looking past that.
>>215683758Yeah but in the end Conan comes in with his Master Morality Cock and subjugates him until he loves BCC. The only truly virtvovs ending possible.
>>215681717Shut up Patrick, you’re wrecking it.
>>215681717Nah, nobody needs More Cock. The name is too funny
>>215682144>Moorcockwell...
>>215683758Sort of. But he's also really cool and super smart and an excellent warrior and Emperor of his people and he takes a bunch of drugs everyday to keep him alive and strong and he has dragons and his patron god whom he pledges allegiance to is a demonic evil god of Chaos. He also has living black swords with runes on them that eat the souls of people he kills with them. It's kind of every dark fantasy trope rolled together. It's where the original DnD got a lot of idead. Fantasy from the 70s until now is basically LOTR mixed with Elric.
>>215682917Maybe if you're a fucking boomer or gen x or something, I only learned about him yesterday surfing the wiki for older stuff nobody cares about
>greatest this>greatest that>it's always shit when it comes outnot so great I guess.
>>215681717Don't give them ideas, delete this.
>>215682189>No idea who could play Elric.Luke Goss in 2008 already played him in Hellboy 2
>>215684834Nuada was pretty memorable
>>215681717>Wanting modern Hollywood to touch thisYou shut your whore mouth
>>215682144>"Go ahead, Javonte. Though my blood is Melnibonéan it is clearly deficient. By all means. Please my sweet cousin Cymoril.">Javonte glared with suspicious eyes, sensing a scheme afoot, "I did not realize she was yours, Elric. I will leave in peace." >"You will go where it pleases me," said Elric. "My bride. Enjoy her for your emperor's entertainment." >"It was not my intent to offend you.">"But it was your intent to lay with the woman." Elric rested his hand on the pommel of Stormbringer and the black sword began to purr. "Do as you intended, Javonte of Koon. Your emperor commands it.">Sweat formed atop Javonte's head and his eyes closely studied the albino before him. "I'm afraid you force me into a position with no favorable outcomes. Shall I bring my comrades into this matter?">A smile twisted on the white wolf's face and Stormbringer stirred, "You shall."
>>215685178is this basically the same scene as jared leto joker telling the black guy to bang harley quinn
>>215685178>Javonte of Koon>Koon>coon
>>215685178Is this pasta?
>>215685362>Javontewellp, that's not a white guys name
>>215681717You get his sword in symphony of the night
>the greatest fantasy series
>>215681717More cock lol
>>215681717not current day hollywood stombringer deserves better than diversity and bad cgi
>>215682121>>Idris Elba IS Elric!>How about no/thread
>>215681717John Carpenter would do it justice if he was younger.
>>215681717They already tried Witcher and it's going down in flames, they'll never go with protowitcher
>>215688813Ben Shapiro's production studio will.
>>215683575There’s nothing ironic about that, stupid mongoloid.
>>215683758>Hated his own people >Still thought they were superior til the end Yup he's a lefty Brit alright
>Moor cock
>>215681717I’m black and I love these books. I know this place likes to meme but he could be played by a black actor and I don’t think that would undermine his character at all.
>>215689257Who would you cast?
>>215683758No he hated them because they self isolated and stopped conquering the Young Kingdoms also they became decadent and degenerate
>the greatest fantasy series>it's a bunch of disjointed short stories that are super dreamy and imaginative but don't really go anywhereI've read it but I don't understand why people overrated it so much.
>>215689406>There's not enough realism in my fantasy story
>>215683758It's not about politically left or right, you retard, it's about good and evil.How long until dumbasses start calling Morgoth and Sauron based conservatives or some other retarded shit?
>>215689406To be contrarian and special
>>215689425It's more the fact that they're disjointed and don't go anywhere. There's not enough meat on the bone narratively to do a lot with the source material compared to something like Robert E. Howard's Conan stories which has novellas which could stand on their own and carry a movie, etc.
>>215689448>Goes on a quest>Things don't go as planned>Wins but at a costYeah that's never happened in a Conan story
>>215687276So great, Eddings wrote it like five times.
>>215681915ö
>>215681717That's such an unfortunate last name to have, damn.
>>215682121Using a great actor as Idris Elba as an example ruins the meme. You know they'd cast some american ghetto trash
>>215689257I think black albino would be fucking hilarious
>>215681717>literal BBC sword>sickly pale cuck Marysue protagonist>multiverse-shitOh yeah, it's Melnibonéing time
>>215685468no it's Dark Fantasy
>>215681717>>215682121I know just the man to play Elric>albino>great villain chops
>>215689406That's all you need. Autistic world building is for losers who never publish
>>215689430Morgoth might be a chud but Sauron is clearly Stalin-esque
>>215682181There's nothing gay about sheathing your big black sword inside your cousin's big black sword after a sweaty wrestling sesh
>>215681717rather not
>Elric and his cousin both tried to fuck his sister>Moonglum is his servant in every reincarnation>That one time they went to a universe that was completely flat and featureless and there was nothing but a God of Law trying to will himself out of existence so everything would be smooth and silent>Several Blind Guardian songs written about The Eternal Champion and TanelornI'd enjoy talking about the books, like with the Wheel of Time threads but I'd rather a shitty adaptation not be made and then immediately forgotten
