I also think that fantasy shows that are supposed to be taken absolutely seriously are almost inherently going to fall flat on their face. Playing fantasy games there are few if any that don't have a tongue in cheek nature at some point. Also, I want to see a show about orcs, living and growing up in an orc village, that gets taken over by the evil overlord and they are forced to go fight humans in a human realm alongside weird little goblins and shit. I've seen the group of heroes fight monsters a thousand times, the formula has been done to death and while it is fun to roleplay occasionally, it is less fun to watch when better media has already done it.
