It's Damon Lindelof, so make of that what you will.

Damn shame.
Maybe he’ll come good when he starts a piece himself.
I am not remotely invested the background having only seen, and enjoyed, the film.
Not holding much hope with that -edit incoherent,wasted,gibberish- writing.
He has ruined so much.

I'm in a rare minority in that I loved the graphic novel, it was a main staple I read over and over in my teens then I went on and also loved the movie adaption, apparently that's not allowed

No high hopes for the series though, especially with the casting that's been teased already.

Eh; leave it with the comic and film, which was surprisingly good for a Snyder flick.

@Destination I'd comment out that rhubarb pronto lad!

Thx for that spot.
I am sure the forum autostarred things before, but heh, given the chap we are discussion, the mods would probably agree and forgive it.

Loved the film. Will keep an eye on this but not holding out much hope.

How's he going to ruin this I wonder?

Hard to get any sense of the show from that.

Jokester · 20 Jul 2019 at 19:52

Hmm, so possibly a follow on to the film, trailer looks decent to be honest.

DeanT77 · 20 Jul 2019 at 20:13

Not sure if I'm going to like it but I'll give it a go I guess.

Random Guy Esq. · 20 Jul 2019 at 20:21

Yeah, I'll give it a chance, but not holding out much hope. I wonder if any of the other surviving characters will return, other than Ozymandias and Manhattan.

SixTwoSix · 20 Jul 2019 at 20:40

Mixed feelings on that trailer, got me a little hyped tho

Hades · 20 Jul 2019 at 20:57

I will give it a go as I loved the film. But I'm not holding out much hope.

Is it me or is this new "adaptation" seem a bit steeped in identity politics?

I know the original novel had undertones of politics with the main characters representing the different political ideologies but this version seems a bit #blacklivesmatter. Production values look excellent though and usual HBO standard, will definitely be watching.

Really? Not sure how you got that from the trailer :confused:

I think it looks great. Question is, how do I sell it to my girlfriend so I can actually watch it

I take that back this is a different trailer to the one I had seen and this has framed it quite differently. Did your girlfriend like GOT? Definitely going to read the book again before this starts.

There's a few interesting little titbits in the trailer on second viewing. Confirms this to be a sequel to the graphic novel rather than the movie (although I'm sure that's probably been talked about already).
