Нова серія драконів високої фентезі від Prime Video стикається з серйозним викликом

Prime Video's upcoming dragon series is a fantasy project that could become one of the best dragon series of all time, and it faces a major challenge. Dragons are creatures that often appear in high fantasy books, shows, movies, and more. It makes sense, as these stories are all about exploring wondrous new worlds filled with creatures that we don't see walking around in real life.

Looking at the best fantasy shows in recent years, it is easy to see that audiences respond well to dragons. HBO's Game of Thrones franchise, the genre's biggest in terms of TV shows, thrived with its portrayal of dragons in live-action. First, Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen went on a journey to mature her dragons, then House of the Dragon brought several fire-breathing beasts to the small screen.

Prime Video's fantasy shows, thus far, have been pretty tame in terms of dragons aside from the animated The Legend of Vox Machina. Thankfully, subscribers should not have to wait too long to get one of the biggest dragon shows ever, as Prime Video has put in development a high fantasy series adapting a beloved book series.

The show in question is Fourth Wing, which will adapt Rebecca Yarros' Empyrean novels. At the time of writing, not much has been revealed about what the live-action dragon series will entail. That said, it is clear that for the Prime Video fantasy series to be successful, it will have to face a major challenge.

Серія Fourth Wing від Prime Video повинна відповідати улюбленій франшизі

Much like how the Game of Thrones franchise has had to adapt George R. R. Martin's novels to divisive results, as the original fantasy series started on the right foot and was derailed after the source material was surpassed, while House of the Dragon chose to deviate from the books for certain events, Prime Video's Fourth Wing will inevitably be judged by how it lives up to Yarros' Empyrean novels. The bar for the show is set high. On Goodreads, Fourth Wing currently stands at a high 4.56 score based on nearly 4 million ratings.
