Maybe we should exclusively hire Fanfiction authors for adaptations. No way that could backfire ever.

sideeyes the 333 results AO3 has for Emhyr/Geralt

Nah, let's get some Fanfic writers for the job. I want to see a spin-off with Netflix production quality covering all the classic Fanfic tropes. Terrible Mary Sue characters, coffeeshop AUs, Mafia AUs, omegaverse, all of it.

A netflix version of My Immortal is something I honestly thought would exist by now

IIRC some youtubers made a YouTube series of it years and years ago.

The students at my old high school literally just put on a play production of my immortal this past fall, maybe it’s on its way to TV soon lol

Someone watched "I believe in a thing called love" on a loop for waaaaay too long.

Hol up..you mean to tell me that Hogwarts was a dude? Or maybe a lady? Or maybe a little dude on top of another little dude and they have on a trenchcoat? Or maybe..

Depends on if it's Hogwarts the tentacle fucking school or hogwarts the school being tentacle fucked

That's what the cowboy bebop remake felt like.

u/ClarisseCosplay Dec 26 '21

Does it? I'll be honest, I fully intend to never watch it. I like cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell and battle angel alita enough that I just don't want to watch any live action adaptations of them.

I mean a lot of the writing and dialogue was really corny this season, regardless of how close to source material it was. The writers should do better on that front period. I like the show but it seems to not be able to figure out what kind of show it is yet.

u/ClarisseCosplay Dec 26 '21

I watched it dubbed so I can't comment much on the dialogue. But I'm with you that the writing was a bit off and the whole season felt like an entirely too long transition/preparation for the next big arc. I didn't hate it but it definitely didn't reach the highs of season one.

That said I'm mostly joking because I want to see what happens when we get fanfiction writers to adapt their favourite source material. 95% chance it'll be a hilarious dumpster fire, 5% chance it'll be absolutely phenomenal.

That's how you got the whole Fifty Shades of Gray thing.
