Everyone really should just be trying to snap up the many original books coming out of Image in recent years. Lots of books have the epic scope and R-rated content of Game of Thrones, if someone was willing to put up decent effects budgets they could be huge.

“Oh sweet, they have Banshee! Wait, if I want to watch the last two seasons I have to subscribe to Cinemax through Amazon.”

It won’t happen, but East of West would be perfect.

My first though was N.K. Jemisen’s Broken Earth series, but TNT already has the rights. So instead they should do the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik. It’s the Napoleonic wars with dragons, in a world where dragons have been domesticated and used in war since the Roman empire. And, since dragons live for much longer…

It’s going to be years before that Dune adaptation willhit theaters, if ever. That seems like a no brainer.

Can that even be accomplished without releasing the episodes week to week instead of all at once? I’m assuming here they follow the streming style of Netflix, which also doesn’t have anything quite up to the level of popularity as Game of Thrones.

I don’t know how many times I’ve searched for a title, gone “oh, I didn’t know this was on Prime” and then clicked play, only to discover I was supposed to purchase it. Feeling like you’ve been tricked into buying something us not a good feeling.

Fun fact: In various European countries you can subscribe to Prime (and have to, if you want to watch American Gods or The Grand Tour legitimately), but you will get absolutely sweet diddly squat apart from the video service. No free or cheap delivery, no music, no free eBooks, none of the three or four dozen other…

Just adapt Sandman, there’d even be spinoff potential with mystery theatre or an anthology format sister show, plus it could be what netflix is for marvel with amazon and DC, with interconnected cerebral supernatural series like Deadman, Swamp Thing, Hellblazer and anything else they feel like making

Yeah, Amazon’s interface is pretty good for shopping, but not so much for checking out titles to stream. I guess I understand why they don’t want to create a separate site just for movie/tv streaming—although they already did so for Music—but thats something they’ll have to deal with if they want to compete with…

Amazon already has a video only Prime subscription. I think it’s slightly cheaper? But only available as a monthly plan, not annually?

Just do something on Japan’s ‘warring states’ period.

They should do Wheel of Time.

Maybe start by making a more easy to navigate interface and go from there.

Okay, Jeff Bezos, you can have this idea for free: adapt Neil Gaiman’s Books of Magic as a TV series.

Would that I were, my innominate amigo. Would that I were.

If The Boys is done right, with an appropriate budget, that could definitely be a buzz worthy show. They just need to dial up the epic and dial down the weird (aka not clone Preachers formula). That series main story and characters were awesome but got bogged down often by weird (cause that’s Garth Ennis).

If this arms race eventually leads to someone trying to adapt The Book of the New Sun...well, that will be inevitably disappointing, but I’ll be happy that Gene Wolfe got paid.

I’ll always love the show, but yeah, same.

We’re all thinking it, so clearly the answer lies in a series based on the 1998 Fox Family original spoof of Men In Black, Men In White. That franchise has been dormant for too long!
