Hey guys, Malus Darkblade is getting his own TV show!

[lPaladinl]

And it's really weird! They changed his name to Elric and ad-libbed his background and character a bit! Talk about not sticking to the source material!





For clarity this a joke post, Malus Darkblade has a lot of inspiration, shall we say, from Elric which might be getting a TV show soon. People here might be interested in it, depending how it turns out.

Oh joy, Elric of Melnibone, the TV show. Incest, autocracy, worship of demonic gods, slaughter, betrayal, magics, drugs, torture, demons and war.

It'll go down a treat.

Malus, ironically, was a comic book character in his first appearance. Warhammer Monthly, IIRC :)

Actually, Malus and Elric would recognise a lot in each other. And try to kill each other ASAP....

Sounds like a perfect match for HBO to me. Personally I'd rather they don't pick it up, though.

They'd probably screw it up even worse than Throne of Games even with all the source material written already.

Andrzej Sapkowski seems to have done well by that, tho...

Wasnt Elric one of the actual inspirations for Warhammer Fantasy back in the 80s?

They're making a new Full Metal Alchemist? Why? Brotherhoods the best.

Yes, the high and dark elves are an almost carbon copy of Melniboné, but it's also hard not to see the direct link between Moorcock's chaos and Warhammer's.
It's not just Warhammer of course, D&D itself drew a lot from Moorcock's works.

"...one of..."

That's the thing about WH/WH40k: It's always been like playing in a giant toybox of everyone else's stuff.

I'd like to meet this "they," whoever "they" are, and feed them to a hellpit abomination for making such terrible TV and movies
