I've often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?

A Chinese show has already been released and an American one is releasing on Netflix soon. The Chinese version can be streamed on Viki. I'm about 1/3 of the way through (30 episodes) and I'm absolutely loving it. They don't dumb down any of the details with the science and is staying very true to the books so far. You just have to be willing to watch a subtitled show

I'm happy to be surprised but I doubt I'll like the US version as much. Nearly every US book adaptation I've watched has been dumbed down "for a wider audience" and changed quite substantially (looking at you, Silo and Beacon 23). This is also coming from D and D of GoT infamy, so we'll see if they can turn their track record around. At least this book is finished so they have the entire source material to work with
