Live action epic fantasy requires a tremendous investment of time, money, and personnel. It can work, but the only successful ones we've seen have been either trilogies or the cast was mostly children. Actors age, and theꦕy get bored playing the same character for months every year without the freedom to play other roles.

Animation doesn'🅠t suffer from those issues; and before someone mentioned Arcane, the cost for that first season was mostly R&D fo💮r the 3d animation system they used. And the reason season 2 was expensive was because they (imo stupidly) revamped that system.

Castlevania didn't cost nearly as much, 🌸looked fantastic, and 🍎was well received.

Imo animation should be♛ the go-to for long epic fantasy. And as Sanderson says, the one making the decisions needs to be someone that truly loves the source material, not someone in love with the idea of changing it.

Gunpla andౠ these miniatures aren't really related. They are meant to be two distinctly different things; just like the Gundam card game will be.

Honestly, I hope this expands to full on armies/fleets in the future. I'd love some capital ship vs capital ship action. I'm interested in this type of tabletop game, but WH40k seems both dense and expens🐼ive to explore. This might be just what I need to get int🎃o it.
