    Witcher lead left. Still getting 2 more seasons.

    Rings of power is about to have a second season.

    Got started to suck because D and D rushed 2 seasons to try to work for Disney, which was pulled.

    Fallout is popular because it’s good. All of the above changed a ton from the source. Only niche fanboys care how accurate something is and they don’t move the needle on popularity.

      Game of Thrones didn’t suck because D&D rushed things. It started to go downhill as early as season 5, when they ran out of source material. People overlooked it initially because Game of Thrones had such a strong hype train. The last two seasons were just so blatantly bad that no one could ignore it anymore.

        GoT had problems before that. They didn’t just run out of source material, they deliberately skipped a lot of it, mostly magic related.

      And witcher and rings of power and GOT are absolutely bombing.

      Fallout (the show) is popular because it’s good. Fallout (the show) is good because it religiously follows the tone of the original source. The original source was good.

      That’s the point. Fanboys exist for an IP because it was good in the first place. More accurate = more good, because the original was good. It’s not just meaningless partisanship or fanboyism. You already have a good story. Just tell that story. Vary on that theme.
