And why?
Depending on what it is, TV series. Specifically animated. The exception to the rule would be anime currently running. I was severely disappointed by the Boruto movie being a collection of episodes from the anime, once I figured it out.
I wish that in order to make a non-original piece of film, there was a lengthy process where the filmmakers had to prove they had something new to say and jump through a bunch of hoops so that 17 groups of people didn’t remake the same fucking book every couple of decades.
I like original stories.
imagine If instead of writing stories, most authors just wrote somebody else’s story with the same names, sequence of events, and swapped out car for a horse and buggy. because the guy isn’t eccentric enough.
With streaming the way it is, I would stop the chopping up of stories and start telling them in a new way. Shows are longer now and the quality difference is minimal, so just film and tell the story. Sitcoms and the like I get doing episodes but I think it’s time to review how stories are dispensed visually
Peter Jackson releases the ultra-extended 176 hour cut of Lord of the Rings.
I’m begging for more miniseries. Good Omens is the perfect example of taking just enough time to tell the story correctly.
TV series adaptations. Because they have more time to cover more/all of the books aspects.
TV series. If it’s good, I get to spend more time with it that way.
I always said the Harry Potter movies should have been a series, each book getting a mini 6 episode season or something.
Unfortunately that cast was great, and to be the time is passed. I know they’re trying to do it again - but at this point I love the movies, they could have just been better. I don’t have any hopes that they could recreate the magic.
