Adaptation Do's and Don'ts

I personally am more inclined to an animated show like The Legend of Vox Machina or Castlevania. I think that would be the most effective way to get all the mythology and magic in the show as well as the story and drama (not to mention it solves the issue of actors ageing at different rates and other tricky things).

Provided the animation is done well, and the voices for the characters are carefully selected. That goes for any "monsters" if they do live action.. I am talking about the same voice different monster in ten different shows.

Oh, is there something solid about a studio? I thought we were just speculating Amazon because Prime has been on a bit of a SFF binge.
Yuillegan:
Last I heard, and my information could well be out-of-date, was that FX had picked it up.
Jim's been to a few meeting since this happened with the showrunner, and he seemed confident with that person at the time.
Covid may have changed a lot though of course.

I think the style in Legend of Vox Machina would be what I would want, but I understand there are many types out there. I do think LVM would be the most effective art style as it's easier to do the magic and get appropriate levels of awesome without spending too much money.
Conspiracy Theorist:
FX were part of Fox who sold all their fiction content production (except Fox News) to Disney. That’s why What We Do In The Shadows suddenly, but agreeably popped up on Disney Plus.
The Dresden Files sitting between the MCU and the Star Wars multiverse? Yes please.
The Showrunner who could probably do it best would be Eric Kripke Supernatural, Revolution and currently The Boys, but he is busy doing an excellent job with the latter. Perhaps someone like the Director Executive Producer on Loki? Kate Herron she isn’t returning for season 2

Actually I think it is a toss up anymore with what computers can generate as far as special effects go. Disney has done a fantastic job with shows like The Mandalorian.. Animation is good and can be good, but I think the over all impact is lost when it is animated. I've tried to watch some of the background animation series that they've done for Star Wars, like "The Bad Batch," and yes, they are written well, but the emotions on an animated face is no match for a live actor's face. If they have to do fewer episodes, so be it, but I think the live action is worth it. And yes, the special effects for the magic can be just as good.
