If this were to get a huge gay shipping fandom a la Merlin it would be hilarious

Game of Milquetoast

If there is one thing I like my fantasy to be, its low budget.

That is so not the Pendragon news I’ve been asking for for almost 20 years

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Some ambitious producer with too much money and not enough sense doing a King Arthur adaptation that no one particularly wanted

Tired: Streaming services trying to make the next Game of Thrones

Wired: Streaming services trying to make the next Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

I actually read these when I was a kid. I really enjoyed them. Lol.

Politics aside it might actually have a good budget they are apparently spending 100 million on childrens content they probably raised a bunch of money for these shows

The books are really good. Arthur doesn’t even show up until the third or fourth book.

Sounds kind of like grooming

🤣🤣

Great, maybe we can get Newsmax to finish the Chronicles of Narnia.

I don’t want be that guy, but does anyone really watch daily wire stuff like that.

Amazon Prime kinda proved super high budget doesn't exactly work either to be fair.

I’m envisioning a pre set meeting each day where someone from the Daily Wire calls in and tells the entire crew they’re idiots for getting a Liberal Arts degree instead of all learning to weld, shortly after, a brisk clap and an “alright now let’s get to work,” followed by lots of confused looks.

The right yelling for decades about how much they hate Hollywood and the television/film establishment is just them trying to cover for how desperately they want to be part of that establishment.

For a moment I thought this was the YA scifi/fantasy book series Pendragon and was utterly confused. Now I'm just normal confused.

Anyone read the books by the way they any good ?

well, best not give hundreds of millions of dollars to people who never made a single episode of TV before

Unless they ended up being the entity that would finally try actually suing the major fanfic sites over it... :/

Why else would they vote for someone whose only success was being a reality t.v. star?

I've read them, they're actually pretty good! They do lean into the Christianity at some points but they aren't as egregious as most Christian lit. The author balances it well with Celtic druid beliefs and I don't remember them being too over the top religious (I haven't read the whole series in a long time but I did reread Taliesin last year).

Taliesin was probably my fave of the series, it has a lot of interesting detail on Celtic life, druidism and also has an interesting beginning storyline set in Atlantis. I enjoyed it, and the Christian stuff only comes up towards the end and is fairly easy to skip if you want.

Not even adapting the best Arthurian fantasy series

😂

IMO, they're pretty average. There are better retellings of Arthurian fantasy, but there are also worse. I read them as a teenager in the 90s because they were one of the few series on the store's shelves, but I doubt I'd read them again with so much other and more accessible media available these days.

The only really interesting novel by Lawhead I've read was Byzantium, a story of Irish monks on a pilgrimage drawn into an extended series of adventures.

I don't know, I think you can make low budget fantasy work with some good writing. It may look a bit cheesy but you can lean into it. That said I do not expect good writing

Down to the incredibly negative lead.

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked if Sorbo was in this
