Could Eragon work as an animated series?
The books, not the movie.
Particularly the begining with the main character rising the baby dragoness in secret on a farm. It could be several episodes of cute fun.

Star Wars with dragons
I'd fucking watch the shit out of it.
What if the main character was turned into a dragon?
This book series was derivative as fuck. Hardly an ounce of originality
what a unique observation
It didn't work in the first place.
>dragon waifu
>they feel each other's pain and cannot die as long as the other is alive
>he can see through her eyes while she is in the sky
>she can see through walls and see the truth
Miniseries perhaps, but I don't know about more than that
I like the books a lot despite everything so I'd be down for animated adaptations just to HAVE an adaptation that wasn't the flaming trash fire of a movie
>she can see through walls and see the truth
I don't think that's how dragons work, unless you mean the latent psychic thing riders and other magicians have to be able to sense other life forms and read unprotected thoughts
I feel like maybe we could strike a balance between a baby dragon transforming into a juvenile adult after being tossed into the sky and several episodes dedicated to Saphira living in a tree while Eragon rushes farm chores to go visit her.
Plus the books have a significant quantity of time where the characters are just traveling somewhere, distances you have to balance between too much decompression and late-stage cancer GOT teleporting across continents
>cannot die as long as the other is alive
u wot
Presumably he refers to the effective immortality conferred on Rider pairs, not any sort of invincibility
Yeah, but as much as stupid teenage me liked it there's a bunch of books that would work better and deserve it more
Where the fuck is my Temeraire cartoon?
Stop.
ridiculously incredibly extremely based
At least we're getting a Wings of Fire series
OP is why "comfy, cute, and wholesome" fags should be gassed
Impolite.
Yeah it could be fun. Don't see Paolini agreeing to it, but it'd be cool.
Idk, as a series it would run into some problems in establishing tone. It'd be categorized as an action series but the first few episodes wouldn't have a fight in them.
>book series so unoriginal even the critics are rehashed
I genuinely see Netflix picking this up at some point.
He not like adaptations or something?
I don't blame him considering the track record, but still
What do you expect when so many of the story beats are straight up copied from it?
Why would they? Eragon was on of those many fantasy YA series that exploded in popularity while they were out but quickly left the public consciousness not long after a shitty adaption. Same as Inkheart, Spiderwick, Percy Jackson, and all the others trying to be the next Harry Potter at the time.
DorkyEragon a best.
Because it's a cheap fantasy IP with all the plot already written out and has at least some name power by the mere fact of existing, people will be all "Hey, a book adaptation. I hope it's as good as Netflix's the Witcher!"
Yeah, it's cheap because it's not really popular these days. Witcher had 2 really popular games pretty recently to keep it alive in the public conciousness, Outside of the kids that read them in the mid 2000s there's not a lot of people who remember the Inheritance Cycle. I doubt most of those kids even read all four books, myself included.
Would they include the scene where the dragon tries to get hot with her teacher?
Never read this Book. But the book mentioned about the cave thing, was just really awesome.
So? She-ra's only cartoon was in 1985 and Netflix still snatched her up based on that and the odd toyline. They also made a Castlevania show despite video game adaptations almost always being really shit.
Mid 2000's fantasy novels are an untapped goldmine for streaming adaptations.
If you were 14 in 2007 you're the prime consooming demographics today, and most people not reading the later books is probably a good thing.
They wouldn't get anywhere near the later books anyway, probably follow the general plot up until his brother and the rival guy who's names I can't remember are introduced, which would take 2-3 seasons then wrap it up with a mostly original ending in season 4 as the attention dies down.
80s nostalgia is huge right now, 2000s nostagia still needs another decade or two. Or never because the 2000s fuckin sucked.
