How would (You) handle a Discworld prestige TV adaptation?
What kind of sick ego-maniac spends his life writing 41 books on one series?
>>220985057I wouldn't.Fuck Terry Pratchett.
>>220985120What's a bit harsh brother, he enjoys is world building and stories.Get over yourself cunt.
>>220985057toss it in the garbage and do vance insteadlyonesse would work best as a tv series but dying earth or araminta station would cause hilarious amounts of butthurt
>>220985120It's KINO though.Like Tom Clancy but actually literate.
>>220985057Just anthology the shit out of it. First season adapt the guards books, second season death, and do that until the inevitable cancellation.
>>220985120don't anyone let this nigga know about that sanderson nigga and how popular is is among zillennials kek
>>220985609is it really kino? every time people share excerpts of it online it seems like unfunny, obnoxious basic bitch moralfagging. can you recommend some favorite titles i could start with?
>>220985057>reddit before reddit
>>220985803Read the Death books and the City Watch books.
>>220985803It's just funny novels that parody fantasy, movies, history, religion, etc.If you're a bitter chud you're not going to like them.
I wouldn't. Enough with this "prestige" BS.
>>220985921This excerpt does not make me want to read it at all.
>>220985057Turn every book into a two part episode (I think that should work for most of the novels)>night watch>death>rincewindetcThe Discworld series doesn't really have a big grand finale which might annoy audiences who want huge long form storylines.
I don't know what prestige TV means.I'd just do an adaptation of the Watch series in order with timeskips between season so the Watch grows in size.
>>220985942That's OK, everyone has their own taste. I'm not gonna try to convince you. I'm sure I wouldn't be interested in your recommendations either.
>>220985927yeah sounds really faggy, thanks for being straight with me
>>220985960>I'm sure I wouldn't be interested in your recommendations eitherlmao what a bitch
>>220985977No need to be rude, you can try giving your own recs
>>22098599read vance
>>220985057Disc world is as retarded as globe Earth. The world is flat. End of story.
>>220985057A few years ago it would've been the GOAT. Simon Pegg as Rincewind. Ke Huy Quan as Twoflower.
>>220987092Except of course that all of Rincewind's stories fucking SUCK
>>220985057So what do the turtle and the elephants eat to not die?
>>220985120who knows?
>>220987429Rodrick Rules is goated
>>220985120autism is a pathway to many abilities that some consider to be unnatural
>>220985120He wrote other stuff tho
>>220985057Make way for true kino
Love discworld but just don't think it lends itself to visual medium. The sky adaptations were ok but I think the humour is lost when said out loud. It's better left as books, maybe full cast audioplays could work but I don't think I would care about an adaptation or have any faith it wouldn't be an absolute abortion (like basically every fantasy adaptation in the last 20 years)
>>220987318No they don't. You just have shit taste.
>>220985126I don't remember posting this.
>>220985057You'd have to pick a series within Discworld unless you make it an anthology series. Making it live action at all is a fool's errand though, it should be animated. You'll have to do a shit ton of CGI anyway (nobody's gonna pay for real effects and puppets), just animate the fucking thing so it can be in the slightly cartoony way it was written.>but that's not le prestige teeveeIt's not a prestige book series, it's entertainment for teens and young adults.
>>220985057Does the cop guy Carrot ever make any attempt to retake the throne ?The problem with the series is that the novels are basically all stand alone and modern audiences love endless subplots and mysteries that never get a good resolution
>>220985977literally recommend any piece of media you enjoy you stupid fucking faggot
>>220985120money?
>>220987318>he doesn’t like rincewind in australia >he doesn’t like rincewind in china
City Watch would be a pretty great place to start a disc world adaptation
>>220988941they made one called The Watch and it’s great! a genre defining show!
>>220988916what seems to be the problem?
>>220985795fun fact, Sanderson's writing is so bloated he's almost written as much as Discworld, probably more by the end of the year
>>220985057Make it animated, preferably 2D traditional. No more shit live action.
>>220988692>Does the cop guy Carrot ever make any attempt to retake the throne ?No, he closes that door for good in the second Watch book.
Small Gods then Pyramids
>>220987397space planctonobviously
>>220985057already happened
Can we stop pretending that bongs are funny?>Oh, but "HOGFATHER"!Yeah, exactly.
>>220985120>The Episodios Nacionales (National Episodes) are a collection of forty-six historical novels written by Benito Pérez Galdós between 1872 and 1912. Divided into five series, they deal with Spanish history from roughly 1805 to 1880 combined with fictional accounts and characters.
>>220985057I'd just re-release hogfather
>>220989073I don't believe that he hasn't already curled out comfortably more.
