Doesn't even have to go all the way through the series(we've probably got another, what, 5 or 6 books left?) But at least go long enough to give us Harry riding a zombie t Rex into battle

I wonder that too. It'd make a great tv show where each book could be a half-season or full season and there's enough material out already for years of content.

Someone suggested the first 3 books for a first season, and ending with the end of Grave Peril with Dresden saying "fuck it" and starting a war seems great

Fans would complain about a good "Dresden Files" show because of the necessary changes needed to make it good. The women would be less sexualized, characters would no longer share a personality, and the icky sexual tension between Dresden and his apprentice who he watched grow up would be gone.

I dont think most fans would complain about those being changed, especially the last one lol

Molly definitely should be.

Others, like Lara, should be exactly the same though.

.....are you serious? You haven't heard of the Castlevania cartoon on Netflix? It's one of the best video game adaptations ever made!

If you have Netflix, go watch it! Right now! This is your homework! I expect a report next Monday!

Shit, I do, but don't really use it. It's the missis.

Really like Castlevania. Or Metroidvenia? w/e.. Has right up my ally kind of atmosphere too. I have to watch it for sure now. Especially as you peeps seem to be hyping it up.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "Dresden Files" TV series that lasted for a season on the SyFy Channel back in 2007. Book readers didn't like it, but it did have its fans.

They kind of combined characters. For example, they made a new character to be Harry's cop love interest, who was a combination of Karrin along with Susan's "Latina-ness" (for lack of a better word).

Presumably that's why the TC specified a good Dresden files adaptation and didn't ask for one so low budget his blasting rod is a drumstick, There's a lot not to like about it, but there's a few shining spots, one not matter what descriptions the books to the contrary give my mental image of Morgan is Conrad Coates and having Bob's spirit appear as an actual person was a good change (not so sure on the change to his backstory though)

Can't remember if I've said it here, but I've said it elsewhere, I second the Castlevania guys doing an adaptation. That said weren't Fox supposed to be working on a new Dresden show before the merger, I presume it got killed by that but I haven't seen any news on it one way or the other.
