    3 problems with Patrick O'Brian's "Master & Commander" series of sea novels as a "Game of Throne"-style TV series: - Filming on water can be "Waterworld" costly - Aubrey & Maturin appeal to white males with 3 digit IQs - In our Diversity Era, this is a Great White Male workhttps://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1041952496653086721 …

        The fine 2003 "Master & Commander" movie, with Russell Crowe at his career peak as Captain Jack Aubrey, earned $93 million domestically, $212 mil globally. Not bad, but filming on water cost $150 million, so no sequel was greenlighted. Is there a cheaper way these days?

        It wouldn't be as big as Game of Thrones. (Which has gotten dumber as it's become more popular.) But three digits isn't all that high a barrier, is it? I mean, isn't 100 still around average? Master and Commander wouldn't have to be any smarter than Breaking Bad or Mad Men.

        Replying to @VeryJonesVery

        "Master and Commander wouldn't have to be any smarter than Breaking Bad or Mad Men." If a sea story can be made as cheaply as those shows, the fact that Patrick O'Brian's novels only appeal to the smarter half of males wouldn't be a problem. Maybe CGI could do it cheap today?

        It's not just that they appeal triple digit IQ white men, but also ones who are either middle aged or have a middle aged temperament. The much craved 18-34 demographic is outside of their reach. My dad and I watched Master & Commander in theaters and LOVED it, but...

        The A&E Horatio Hornblower TV movie series ran into a similar problem: my dad and I LOVED them, but we're not everyone and filming them wasn't cheap. We were just glad to get what we could.

        It pains me to say this, but high IQ, white male 30 year old Millennials are more excited about how the next Captain Iron movie will compare to the upcoming Superbat reboot, and how it will connect to last year's X-Spider movie. They use up their brains keeping track of all that.

        Maturin is Irish-Catalan so you may as well cast a lesbian of colour for the role, it's inclusive.

        The recent non-Irons version of the Borgias cast a bunch of lilly-white people (American, Irish, French, and some flavor of Eastern European) as the Spanish/Italian family. They kept calling Pope Alexander "Catalan" (though he wasn't). Coulda cast some brownie had they desired.

        Let us be rid of all contemporary pop culture. If it isn't Thucydides, Xenophon, Machiavelli, or Polybius & the Federalist Papers or something akin to them it emasculates & confuses our vision, resoluteness, & responsibility to our higher ideals, a truly higher male common good.

        Wait, didn’t West Indian Blacks play a pivotal role in the naval dominance of the British Empire? Wasn’t Alexander Hamilton from there too? I saw that play. If you think about it, Blacks probably were entirely responsible for British colonial and imperial development!
