Raithe Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Quote for the DAy: Ok so let me get this straight. The #1 movie in the country is Top Gun, the #1 song is Kate Bush “Running up The Hill”, and America is in a proxy war with Russia? So we’re just like “**** it, let’s give 1986 another go then?” 2 1 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

It would sell really well and it sounds like it would make for a really good story, there's eough material for it to even be a series like Superior Spider-Man was. I mean, it's not like Marvel and DC have never done a crossover before. Edited June 10, 2022 by Serrano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a ton of fanfic, an original work needs to either have a very compelling and underused world that can host new stories that go beyond the original (Star Wars) or be full of plot holes that need plugging (Harry Potter). Avatar has neither. And then there is LotR that has a compelling world but its too "explored" within the original work to have room for new stories while it left no plot holes to plug... at least none that would require more than a couple of sentences to explain. 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

But Amazon is not even making a LotR series, they are making a GoT ripoff with LotR branding because that's what they own the rights to. And if you check on the legal part of it, what Amazon owns are the rights to the 3 main books. They don't own the right to the Hobbit nor the Silmarillion nor any other Tolkien property and they are trying to make a series set in the 2nd age that can only contain characters that appear in the 3 books (and who's stories are already well established in the books Amazon can't use). Its like trying to make a new story within the time frame of "A New Hope" while only having the right to use R2D2 and Chewbaka. 2 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
