On that note, Shivers is current Travis Fimmel in Vikings, and Jappo is Travis Fimmel when he was younger and a Calvin Klein model:

I think Jeff Bridges is very sick currently, sadly. I also picture Bayaz as much younger, but maybe I'm wrong.

PopetasticPerson posted:After the new book I went back and decided to go back through the whole series. I'm halfway through TLaoK now and my main thought is that it's a loving crime that GOT got a show but this isn't ever going to. So many awesome things to see, the House of the Maker, Alcus, the High Places, Dagoska, and Adua at the end. This is one situation of many where I think animation would be a much better job than live action. You can stuff like changing the style of a character's eyes in animation, or even change the color tone of a whole scene that shows how the atmosphere has changed when a character goes into berserker mode. And voice actors are better at altering the tone of their voices when changing personality. It also wouldn't cost 15 million an episode. I pretty much feel every fantasy series would be better animated. Give it to a studio like Mappa, Wit, or 4c in Japan. My ideal First Law series would look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljqdmWkCuik Of course the way things are going it'd probably get a mostly CG adaption like that new Dragon's Dogma series and I think I'd take live action over that.

I finally finished the new book after very slowly reading it; I also loved the scene where Leo and Orso have their meetings with Jappo, and Leo is so completely out of his element that not only does he fail to make any kind of deal, but he manages to reveal the names of several of his co-conspirators before leaving. It was such an obviously bad idea to send him in there alone that I have to wonder why on earth Savine would let him do it, it was such a predictable outcome that I assumed it must have been some kind of 4d chess move, but I guess it's all part of the larger thing of Savine not quite being as competent as her POV chapters would have us think she is

none of the northmen except perhaps like calder should ever be played by beautiful model-like men. they are poorly-groomed BRUTES raised to a life of EXTREME VIOLENCE. save your masturbatory fantasies for jezal or flashback glokta. ray stevenson is definitely the right idea Ainsley McTree posted:I finally finished the new book after very slowly reading it; I also loved the scene where Leo and Orso have their meetings with Jappo, and Leo is so completely out of his element that not only does he fail to make any kind of deal, but he manages to reveal the names of several of his co-conspirators before leaving.

Yeah I think the first time in the series we're treated to an outsider's view of a Northman, they make it a point to highlight how shockingly scarred-up and ugly he is. Granted it's Logen and he's a special case but any veteran warrior is probably going to be in that same aesthetic, Shivers should absolutely not be classically handsome

I thought Shivers was meant to be pretty good looking prior to getting his face hosed up? He's still pretty young and earnest then, didn't yet have the marks of a veteran fighter.

I could be confusing my headcanon for text descriptions, or maybe I'm just too focused on the eye thing. I suppose he was pretty enough for Murcatto

There's a big difference between being scarred by the northern warrior culture shown in these books, and being ugly. The actors in this hypothetical would have makeup and costuming, don't worry.

He even unexpectedly killed a scary henchman (Jab! Jab! Jab!).

Timothée Chalamet for Jezal. Logan would be hard to cast. Antony Starr needs to put on some bulk and heels, and he'd be perfect. His ability to switch between charisma and always being on the precipice of violence as Homelander has made me a fan, and that duality is what Logan needs.

Just catching up on other comments posted in the thread while I was slowly reading the book; I personally got more of an asexual vibe from Antaup's short POV section than a gay vibe, but I do think there's something kind of funny about the idea of Leo being a homophobic closeted bisexual (I think) and subconsciously surrounding himself with an entourage of hunky gay men (though I can't remember if we got any evidence of Jin's orientation) That said I do think it's a minor bummer that Abercrombie decided to include homophobia in his fantasy universe, but I suppose it could have been tropier; Jurand and Galward could have come riding to the rescue and died for Leo at the last minute, at least they didn't get buried.

True, I imagine them as ugly greasy bastards with long stringy hair. Not a single one is pleasant to look at in my head except maybe Shivers before his... ordeal.. Hell I even imagined when first reading the original trilogy that Logen was bald, like some kind of large, muscular and scarred Gollum with a beard. I also imagined the original bunch of Logens follower all as 20 years older than they where with a lot of grey, except shivers, so I had to revise that downwards after reading further books and seeing they couldn't be that old yet.

I do remember that too, and he makes a woman run away in fear by smiling at her in the beginning. Ferro thinks of him as "the big pink" at first. And then there's how he's characterized in Red Country.

I mostly assume that people in stories like these are a lot shorter on average than today as well. So Logen could be nearly freakishly large at say 6'2".

Danny Devito for Bayaz, just give him a beard and shave his head and tell him to play Frank Reynolds. “When I’m dead, just throw me in the trash.” “Well, I don’t know how many years Magic’s got left. I’m gonna get real weird with it.” The rear end in a top hat rich guy, who doesn’t give his friends a dime, while pretending to pick up the monster condom he uses for his magnum dong? He’s 100% perfect.

Other People's Money Devito is a pretty good approximation of Bayaz at the height of his power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kxPyNZF3Q That's the guy who founded Valint and Balk.
