I am Lucas's Unbridled Hubris — How to Make an Earthsea Adaptation that Doesn't Suck
Hey! Have you ever thought you could tell a story than its creators? I know I have. I am Lucas's Unbridled Hubris! I know I've spent a lot of time writing about Earthsea this year . That's partly because I first read the series this year and possess the zeal of a new convert. BT-Dubs, have you heard the good news about Ged, also known as Sparrowhawk, formerly the Archmage of Roke? In any case, how can I put this diplomatically? Both of the major Earthsea adaptations kinda suck. It was recently announced that A24 is developing a new miniseries with Jennifer Fox (whose work I am not familiar with) as a showrunner. And it turns out that Fox received Ursula K. Le Guin's blessing before her death in 2018. Now, you might say, "But, Lucas, Hallmark and Studio Ghibli also had Le Guin's blessing going into production, and both of their adaptations were disappointing at best." And you would be correct. However, I'll reserve judgment on this new adapt...
