[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6229906, member: 55961"] Or avoid the tropes we saw a hundred times already. The book is about a guys that goes to a sort of feudal-high tech Mars. No need to stick to a book that his not good by today's standards. Rossum's Universal Robots is a classic, should it be made into a movie without modifications? So why not make Carter our comtemporary, someone who knows about science and saw films/TV shows about aliens and people who end up on other worlds. Make him ajust rapidly to the new place instead of having the stupid trope of the guy who doesn't know what is happening, just wants to go home and doesn't embrace is new status. We saw this many times. We know what will happen. Give me a protagonist that arrives and goes "cool, I was a nobody and now I am hero, die aliens /pew pew". I'm tired of the trope "the local aliens are cruel, but the hero will teach them a lesson about friendish and compassion". /vomits. Carter should kill the leader, eat his flesh and hear the lamentations of the women. I never saw that in a film. Hollywood just repeats itself, it is boring. As for books, I do not read anything that has the fantasy or sci-fi label on it, I want a new take on old tropes. Not the same old tropes. This is why fantasy has so little to offer right now.
