I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson.
This was a well written fantasy series that I would love to see made into a series or multiple movies.
Chronicles Of Thomas Covenant:
Lord Foul’s Bane (1977)
The Illearth War (1977)
The Power That Preserves (1977)
The Second Chronicles:
The Wounded Land (1980)
The One Tree (1982)
White Gold Wielder (1983)
I absolutely hated the Thomas Covenant novels. I hated the character, and I hated the plot devices. But I read them at a point in my life before I learned that you could put down books you didn’t like; that you didn’t have to finish something you started.
However: I do think they’d make a great miniseries. His internal, eternally whining self-pity would be minimized, making the character less loathsome. I mean, we’re supposed to hate the character, but Donaldson sandblasted that soup cracker, leaving a hollow characature it was impossible to sympathize with on any level. In the media format translation process of distilling to imagery, Covenant might, like the anti-heros on The Boys, become less repellant. And the premise is interesting. It’s become a trite trope, but it was more novel when it was introduced, and I think it’d fit the TV format well. I’d watch it.
Me too - I was so glad when I finished the first book, knowing I would never have to read another line of his whining, snivelling, excuse for a protagonist ever again.
