I just struggle to see how it won’t end up being a campy neutered version of the idea. First off, one of the two main characters will end up being a CGI cat. Next a lot of the action happens because of the RPG side of the novel and that’s gonna be a major pain in the ass to translate. Then there’s the sheer volume of communication that goes on in the messaging system. Then there’s the incredible amount of violence which will have to be reeled back in. Don’t think they’re gonna want Carl blowing up a nursery in episode 4.
I just don’t feel like it’ll have the off the wall crazy shit that makes the books good.
I’m prepared for another WoT style crash and burn considering the choice for live action.
