Our hero is a samurai who roams the island giving aid to the peasants against an invading army. The coolest thing about a Ghost of Tsushima show is that it’d pretty much just be a historical drama. The dramatized events of the Mongol invasion of the late 13 th Century had palace intrigue, enormous battle sequences, tons of dueling, and a mechanic where you get to pet foxes. Playing the 2020 open world samurai game felt kind of like three full seasons of a TV show to begin with. It’s also great when your show’s logline can just be: “Young woman shooting bow-and-arrow at robot tigers.” Ghost of Tsushima There’s enough in just the first game to last a few seasons, not to mention the sequel on the way. And right at the center we have the endlessly heroic Aloy, and her journey to understanding why she has a kinship with the machines. But there are ALSO giant robotic animals that pose a threat. There’s a definite class hierarchy and warring tribes. It’s way in the future, but humanity has given up electronics in favor of an agrarian society.

It’s got enough of the basics of any adventure of Link and his high-fantasy realm but it also has the reality-hopping antics that later fans have grown to expect.

And because people love Thor, there’s already a connection with the Norse mythology and terminology they’d need. Setting the show in the continuity of the 2018 game would allow for great scenes of togetherness between our titular god and the BOY, plus we could get flashbacks to when he frigging annihilated all the gods of Mount Olympus. Think The Witcher but instead of lusty Geralt you have the hate-os of Kratos. And it even makes sense for the hero to die a million times and keep going! God of War ![]() A mélange of all kinds of horror, but most prominently Lovecraftian cosmic horror, the story of Yharnham and the amnesiac hunter who wakes up to fight the beast scourge would make compelling, troubling, and terrifying TV.
