    Amazon has made some decent shows, but has Amazon made any decent adaptations? Rings of Power wouldn’t be completely awful for example if not for the butchering of the pre-existing lore.

    Vox Machina is the closest they have, but that’s kinda cheating, the VAs who originally created and played the characters in DnD are, naturally, the VAs for their characters on the show.

        Fair, I forgot about The Boys. That being said, it still has the issue of not following the source material very strictly, it’s just that in this case it benefits from that. As far as “edginess” goes, the show is a dull butter knife and the comic is a freshly sharped sword.

      I don’t know if you would call it Amazon’s as it originally started at SyFy, but The Expanse was amazing.

        Yeah, people forget there was a whole public begging of the audience for Amazon to save the show since they already had some distribution rights. It was a little desperate for money.

        But the other thing is that Amazon still never really made the show, Alcon still made the show, in house production and payment and then Amazon was just footing the bill by paying for sole distribution rights. It’s not uncommon but it wasn’t Amazon’s show
