Checked all the usual shill sites and it has been cancelled. I say good. The tone of the sites was about how they are leaving fantasy fans high and dry and insisted that the 3rd season was getting good. Some comments from show fans attacked book fans for being critical of the show by using the stupid "the books are the books and the show is the show" argument.
They act like we don't understand that some changes need to be made when adapting a story from book to tv/movie. This showrunner made zero attempt to respect the source material that already had plenty of female empowerment to go with.
Maybe I'm petty but when they announced the cast of the show I knew it wouldn't be good. I guess the one benefit of race and gender swapping is that is shows the priorities of the people in charge.
Lord I hope no one in hollywood ever discovers malazan
He is on my list to read. Agreed. Don’t want anything adapted anymore. I recently bought the Elric books.
Read the entire main book series. And Canadian multiculturalism is well-represented in the book, though with a rusty knife and 'poor-salt-in-the-wound' mentality. One of the main themes is cultures disappearing and fighting the inevitable. He also hints towards some cultures being inferior, but having said that, the Malazan empire's military machine is predicated on turning men and women into fighters, regardless of their origin or cultural heritage.
The series is called Malzan? I’ll just do a search but I’ve heard good things about it
The Malazan Empire - Steven Erikson. The other guy is not a good author. Erikson is an archeologist and he pours a great deal of his knowledge into the books. But unfortunately, he's also Canadian and it shows
Thanks!
