A compelling argument for why Green Street Pictures, known for their unique style and commitment to quality, should be entrusted with adapting the beloved Image Comics series, Saga, into a television show.
Some media is so sacred to fans that the studio is hesitant to take a chance on it, swing, and fail. But hear us out: should any animation studio venture to adapt Image Comics' Saga , by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, is one of the most outstanding comic book series ever made. The series follows Marko and Alana, two individuals from warring space races, on the run with their daughter, Hazel.
Told from Hazel’s perspective in the future, Saga uses its alien backdrop to tell an all-too-human story of how love can survive in a world filled with hate. Saga is so good that one would perish the thought of adapting it into a TV show to save its legacy. However, any adaptation is no doubt a risky one. But if the title ever gets adapted, it shouldn’t go the live-action route like its predecessors. Instead, it should embrace the animation medium produced by Green Street Pictures, which continues to wow us at every turn.Saga's space-bound aesthetic, rich political undertones and overtones, and equally batshit and mature themes, Green Street Pictures (in collaboration with Titmouse Inc. and Bandera Entertainment) have proven two-fold that its captivating way with 2D animated series makes it a first-ballot candidate to adapt Saga. Key among its triumphs was how the show—the basic premise: space explorers sequestered on an alien planet—succeeded in making its critters, big or small, feel truly alien. Moreover, their perceived hostility was simply them going about their business. The perils of humanity crash-landed on their planet were less than insignificant to their ecosystem. I don’t know about you, but to me, that is some genuinely haunting stuff. This was brought to life with 2D animation that could best be described as equal parts trippy and spiritual.Some say we’re still royally pissed that Inside Job,'s Steve Hely, has been a must-watch show since its premiere on Adult Swim and Max this month. The show follows two former high school lab partners who uncover a magical blue mushroom capable of healing any ailment. This, in turn, leads big pharma and other interested parties to hunt the pair down in the hopes of using it for profit—or prevent the discovery from making their own businesses obsolete. Inside Job's writing nails Vaughan’s intriguing character creations, world-building, heart, and dry sense of humor. Much of the latter comes with the distinction of the show starring and being executively produced by Vaughan himself. The show is chock full of vivid background art, fluid character animation oozing emotional microexpressions, and profoundly humanistic writing conveying a range of goofiness and vulnerability at the snap of a finger. If Saga is to transition beyond the comic and become part of the television adaptation trend, remember that we were the first to suggest the appropriate production studio to handle it with care
