Please give me new stories specifically written for the medium, not adaptations

I don't mind the attempt. A popular, or at least well received, work, comic, or whatever demonstrates the strength of the story/concept and it brings an audience already. But what irks me is when they thrown the property to someone who just doesn't grok the critical elements of it and just bends it to fit their old screenplay about a kid with an angry daddy who just doesn't love them.

It'd be a riveting show with battles and politics and natural diversity as it has a huge cast that spans continents and follows everyone from people living in an occupied town, the lowliest new recruit grunt in battle, resistance fighters and the politicians making the life or death decisions - including some who are just trying to keep their people out of the war.
The Nazi replacements are trying to develop a nuke-like weapon that needs to be powered by magic which is in turn powered by human sacrifice which is where the horrors of the regime, like concentration camps and transport trains comes in.
I remember devouring the six-book series over the summer 20 odd years ago and it blowing my mind.
Funnily enough, it was right after I put down book 2 of Wheel of Time half way through.

We need some non dour and selfserious fantasy shows.

Though even the old Conan film was basically daddy issues. It's everywhere in Hollywood.

Clancy Brown
I still don't think the show is great, but I have determined that the best part about it is the closing credits music, which is identical to the original series. Also, this show doesn't have opening credits to speak of, which is a shame because the original show's intro is the best intro I have ever seen, period.

I thought the first episode's writing was pretty bad. I'm sure we'll stick it out but I'm not expecting much.hotseatgames wrote: I still don't think the show is great, but I have determined that the best part about it is the closing credits music, which is identical to the original series.

As for the intro music, I have that for one of my ringtones.

I can’t even be in the room when this is on, even if I’m doing something else. I can just read the news or go on a stroll through downtown if I want to see that kind of thing, no need to waste my limited entertainment time on it.

Wife and I watched it. Thoroughly depressing but overall I enjoyed it.
Wrong thread but Finch (new Tom Hanks film) hit me similarly. While I can admire these heartbreaking stories artistically, I'm at a point where they linger and leave me down for a long period afterward.
