Given how Amazon has ritualistically sodomized Tolkien, hopefully they include some clauses in there about creative control and whatnot. |
I've heard Amazon butchered the heck out of Wheel of Time as well. I'm honestly surprised at how well Fallout turned out considering Rings of Power and Wheel of Time. It seems like the showrunner on Fallout was actually a Fallout fan and actually encouraged the actors to play the games (which Ella Purnell at least did play Fallout 4 after being cast she said in interviews), which is quite different from some of the other recent tv adaptations like Halo, TLOU, and The Witcher where the creative teams were actively trying to be different than the source material.
Hopefully Amazon don't butcher Tomb Raider as well, but considering that Crystal is assisting on it and seem to be damaging Tomb Raider themselves ever since the 2013/Rise of the Tomb Raider director left for Xbox's The Initiative, and they have Phoebe Waller-bridge penning the script (who helped destroy the latest Indiana Jones movie, causing it to flop), I'm doubtful that their Tomb Raider show will be any good.
