[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9787464, member: 7029930"] My point was that trying to safeguard against memes is a terrible metric. What people remember from the all-white cast of [I]Lord of the Rings[/I] are not the memes - so I do think this white-elves dark-elves supposed dilemma is storm in a tea-cup nonsense which would generate a few rage-baiting click-baiting articles by pretty pathetic journalists who would get a lot of unnecessary oxygen from a minor but loud portion of the community. If I'm being honest there is no real global demand for a live-action Dragonlance. It is a dead equus ferus IMO. [I]Warcraft[/I] failed financially, a movie I quite liked (and I do not play Warcraft online) The D&D movie failed financially, a movie I did not enjoy. I'm baffled that anyone thought a Dragonlance movie will be anything but a failure. It is no Lord of the Rings, and as you said the material is not mature. That is why upthread I said I fancy them exploring the time before the Cataclysm as that material can be quite mature (and relevant). Dragonlance stands a better chance as an animated TV series on the vain of [I]Arcane[/I], [I]Blue-Eyed Samurai[/I] and [I]Castlevania.[/I] [/QUOTE]
