Now that Invincible proved there's a big market for animated series faithfully adapting comics, would they finally start doing with other comics? What comics would work as a long running series?

I think Saga would be a hit with an unfaithful adaptation.
>>
>>153267333
On one hand, I'm not sure IHF could be faithfully translated to an animated medium.
On the other hand though, the possibility of undoing Young's retardation through a retelling that would undoubtedly attract a wider audience is extremely strong.

Chew was supposed to get one with Steven Yeun, David Tennant, and Felicia Day

Invincible has the perks of attracting the anime powerlevel fightfags.
Most other indies don't have that.

They turned half the cast into niggers

The only things IMO you need to do to make IHF a successful cartoon are 1) Make the artstyle cute since part of the point is that it is a cute series with violence (Derek Laufman's artstyle should be the easiest to adapt to animation, you can even make fun of how it is mostly bean mouth). 2) Do more with the stories, one fatal flaw IHF has is that it loves compressing stories, give them time to breathe, have a complete story of Gert's reign as queen, for example. 3) Don't kill adult Gert when adapting to the revival.

I don't know if Smith would be willing to get his heart broken again over another potential Bone adaption.

>>153267333
Chew was gonna get an animated series recently but it got Zaslav'd
Bone got fucked by Netflix
Elfquest was getting one but the second Fox wanted one of the main characters gone, the creators pulled out
Pic related is what got announced to get animated adaptations and even then I'm not sure if any of them will actually get released
Comic adaptations get announced all the time and they almost never pan out
As if we'll see more animated adaptations period?
On one hand
>The Annecy is debuting a "Comics to Animation Rights Market"
>Robert Kirkman was very vocal about the positive benefits animated adaptations have had with Invincible's collected edition sales during ComicsPro and even Ryan Ottley mentioned it on twitter
On the other hand
>The state of the animation industry is fucking dire

BKV doesn't want one

someone post the image

I think a cerebus adaptation could be really cool if handled well but i dont want dave sim to get more money and i cant think of a team that could do the comic justice without it ultimately getting enslopified.
>>
>>153268194
It was gonna be live action
>>
y the last man is the obvious one to me.
>>
>>153268196
You know he's gonna put Cerebus in the public domain when he dies right?
There's also that one indie fanfilm adapting the first phonebook

>>153268189
Invincible takes liberties but it's still largely a faithful adaptation especially compared to every other series based on a western comic that isn't The Maxx.
It's not like The Boys which establishes hard liberties that makes events from the comic incompatible from the get-go, if you watch Invincible for the big moments from the comic to be adapted you WILL get those moments
>>
>>153268210
Already got a live action series that lasted one season
>>
>>153267333
OP, we're never seeing a Bone adaptation. Move on
>>
>>153268218
damn, I guess a live action version of it would have come of as meh contemporary sci-fi.
>>
Surprised Fables didn't get one, especially after Wolf Among Us

Don't even need to adapt it like the game, the world can just be milked

Not a comic you idiot

would this get cut?

>>153268290
but something that would need to be adapted in the form of a cartoon

>>153268308
This thread is about comics you stupid fucking illiterate dumbass
OP specified comics
This board is about comics and cartoons
All Tomorrows isn't a comic
Get it through your thick skull you drooling retarded waste of breath

why, does he know its mid as fuck?
>>
>>153267333
havent there been a bunch of attempts to adapt bone that just never go anywhere? even the creator was posting on twitter about his bad luck
>>
>>153268525
He just wanted to make a story he felt could only work with comics in mind
Saga is deliberately designed to be as unfriendly to an adaptation process as possible
>>
>>153267333
Given tadc popularity, IHFL would be the most logical choice all things considered.
>>
If only they'd adapt something cool instead like The Airtight Garage.

>>153268318
This is what you get with adaptation faggotry.

NTA but I liked it, not a lot of scifi westerns out there and I really dug the world building
>>
>actually gets a good adaption
>it's fun and visually creative
>cancelled after one season
Man fuck Syfy, instead we got a shit ton of seasons of the complete bastardization of Resident Alien and the only good part of that shit was Tudyk.

>>153271087
I remember Remender saying one of his comics was going to get an animated series and I recall some speculating it'd be Black Science
It's been years now so I doubt it's still happening
>>
>>153268547
I would prefer Ex Machina anyway
>>
>>153267333
Bone's adaption was composed of the Authors personal Dream Team and Netflix still fucked it over for no good reason
>>
>>153267333
I would've said Hellboy but that ship has sailed, same for the Walking Dead and Preacher. Madman would be cool. They tried to do Gendel before, could go back to that. You could do a Love and Rockets, the Locas parts, Blacksad as well. Blackhole isn't long but it would be cool.
>>
>>153267333
Due to Walking Dead Kirkman has pockets and connections, I doubt others can pull the same thing if even Mark Millar hasn't.
>>
>>153271806
Kirkman really wants a animated adaptation of The Walking Dead closer to the comics but he can't make it because AMC has the show rights
>>
>>153267333
I honestly wonder how much of this could work as a series and how much is just me wanting an adaptation.
>>
>>153268271
I actually think it would have to be done in a documentary fashion like the future is wild. They story takes place over millions of years, it would be impossible to have a single protagonist
>>
>>153271973
Turf read like a bad TV pitch

>>153267333
There are rumors that this is getting a Netflix cartoon

>>153272045
Not a comic dingus
>>
>>153267333
Not a comic, but rather a web novel series, but worm deserves an animated adaptation.
We've already got adaptations of other edgy superhero franchises.
>>
>>153267333
>animated series faithfully adapting comics
Invincible was not any more or less of this than the bucket of other DCAU cartoons that were like it, sans gore. It has raceswaps, and it undercuts the edgelord attitude of comic Mark with jokes about sexism. They thankfully got the most important scenes right, but there’s no reason to watch past season 1.
>>
>>153272366
>Not a comic, but
No but's
Answer the question properly
>>
>>153267333
If they adapted Bone I unironically want it to be way more edgier and darker. Also change the final battle sequence near the end to be more character driven and give the bone brothers more stuff to do. The ending was clearly rushed as fucked
>>

>Invincible was not any more or less of this than the bucket of other DCAU cartoons that were like it,
The difference is that the DCAU was largely episodic while Invincible is serialized
When the DCAU was serialized those plots were largely original to the DCAU itself
Invincible takes its liberties with its source material but the plot beats and events are still largely recognizable

Un-ironically I wouldn't mind if they went lesbian with the duck, considering her arc just left her dead.

I know even a 75% faithful adaptation would be difficult due to its format but I am curious as to how they would handle the lore sections, would they truncate it, Integrate it more into the story as snippets, animate flash backs or would they just have a character lore dump every once a while.
>>
>>153268128
>Faust
lol, I seriously doubt that will be made with the rampant uncensored vag and dick.
>>
>>153272861
Probably something like Avatar where they just prioritize things that concentrate on what's going on in the story itself.
Thieves & Kings' format worked well during the chase scene where Rubel was hounded by guards at the castle while the text detailed the tale of Sara Blue but if the latter was told in comic format, it'd warrant its whole issue.
I guess you don't necessarily need the lore dump in case of an adaptation since all you really needed to know about Sara Blue is that she's a ghost when she does finally show up in the main story but otherwise you'd still be missing a chunk of the comic's lore.

>>153272909
Honestly it's the one I think is most likely to get canned if it hasn't already
It was announced in 2021 but there hasn't been news since
At least Snyder still tells people Wytches is coming

>>153267333
>would they finally start doing with other comics?
No. Invincible is an outlier. This isn't Japan.

>>153267438

im assuming that would be for savoy or whatever he was called. i dont think tennant would suit that at all

ABC bought the rights to Fables to develop it, then never went past the planning stages. But then ABC did make a show called Once Upon a Time which had a similar plot of fairy tale characters in the real world.

>After Fables fans raised controversy over possible appropriation, the show writers initially denied a link, but later said they may have "read a couple of issues" of the comic book and while the two concepts are "in the same playground", they are "telling a different story."[25] Bill Willingham responded to the controversy in an interview, where he stated he did not feel the show was plagiarism and said: "Maybe they did remember reading Fables back then, but didn't want to mention it because we've become a very litigious people."[25][29]
