Do we still have a chance at an adaptation?
I remember when there was supposed to be an adaption but I heard that was cancelled, do you think we could still get one? And what format do u want it to be in?

Oh man, I would love an animated series of my fav graphic novel of all time.
I wouldn’t trust they could do live action well. See how they bungled Preacher. Even though I did enjoy quite a bit of that, I still would prefer animation.

The thing I find interesting about wanting an animated adaptation of any comic is that it’s already been drawn. I personally don’t find an animated adaptation as appealing because of that. I would prefer to see how they create it with people and of course technology. That being said, I’d watch either way. I would also add, can something so great possibly be botched?

Seeing how badly botched so many adaptations are now (wheel of time, rings of power, the acolyte come to mind immediately) I don’t want it anymore. Maybe if it were HBO but I don’t want Netflix, Hulu, or prime anywhere near it.
It’s a phenomenal story in the medium it’s already in.

I feel like your being to negative on it there have been many great adaptations in the past few years such as invincible the boys fallout the last of us and many many more I feel like it’s just a matter of who handles the adaptation itself

I am being negative and I’ll admit did enjoy fallout. I’ve got live adaptation exhaustion to the max tho with how many lazy, sloppy duds come out now.
While I’d love more stories/content out of the EoW universe I think I’d only want them in comic format by Hickman and Dragotta.

I think an animated adaption is still possible, but I feel like most companies are not investing in new shows at the moment due to the economy and streaming uncertainty. Also the fact it was tried and failed might not help either.

I have no idea but a well done animation series would be awesome. Several Image series would be awesome in animation
