Pern Fancast
Warner Bros has optioned Pern, and I am trepidatious as all fuck about it, because there’s about a million ways this could go badly wrong, only some of which have to do with the source material itself, but let’s pretend for a moment we live in a universe where big studios don’t have a long and torrid history of fucking up their adaptations of beloved fantasy properties, and especially fantasy properties that are traditionally female-oriented, and take a moment to imagine how could great this could be if they actually got it right -
FOR INSTANCE: A Harper Hall TV series that’s all about Piemur and Menolly being Secret Musician Spies, with Robert Sheehan as Piemur,

Zoe Kravitz as Menolly,

Nicole Beharie as Lessa,

Godfrey Gao as F'lar,

Jamie Campbell Bower as Sebell,

and Gary Oldman as Robinton.

Or, or! We could actually unproblematise the depiction of green riders, and have discussions about feminism and maybe even some positive gay romance, with dragons! Miriam and Menolly being best friends! Canon asexual Jaxom and asexual Ruth! Fix the rapey bits!
EVERYTHING IS HEADCANONS AND NOTHING HURTS.

I am down for nearly all of that except for Gary Oldman, who has proved himself to be a racist asshole.
