Deadly Class: Why the show didn’t work and how it can be redone

Don’t Game of Thrones yourself

The Deadly Class comic series is still going. 43 issues in and the series is still going strong. Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, Rick Remender throws a curve-ball at you. Things like this kept people glued to Game of Thrones for eight seasons. That and incredible story telling and amazing characters.

However, as much as people loved Game of Thrones, there were some issues towards the end. One glaring problem was season 8. There were things in the end that infuriated viewers. One way this could have been avoided was waiting until the books were finished.

First, hindsight is 20/20. It’s easy to sit here and criticize. Writing a book takes months and sometimes years to complete. Even then, there’s no guarantee that the material will work or that people will enjoy it. It’s impossible to satisfy everyone.  In this case, it may be a good idea to wait until Deadly Class concludes before adapting it again.

Having a beginning, middle, and end mapped out for it means that the people producing the show know exactly what they’re working with. Being able to see the entire picture means you know the finished product.

You’ll never get everything done perfectly. It’s not realistic. Plus, some things don’t translate well from page to screen. Nonetheless, finishing the story allows for things to not get lost in translation.
