Borderlands - Angry Trailer Reaction!

[@skyeunknown8076]

Kevin playing one of the only serious characters as himself is infuriating

[@Bananahammock681]

I mean, regular Roland was boring as hell, lacking almost any kind of charisma outside of "soldier boy Lilith fucked because hot" He's the least interesting personality out of the original 4, and only Axton bored me more from 2, as he wasn't all that fun or interesting himself and surrounded by these bright, vibrant cast and the greatest villain in gaming history. Something about those soldiers is just boring.

11:16 this was probably already commented about but let's not also forget Randy Pitchford putting in a quest in one of the last(?) DLC's for borderlands 2 where Claptrap with a new voice angrily quits and then comes back begging the vault hunters to take him back.

[@kukuhimanputraraharja8084]

that was in the b2 commander lilith dlc, which was probably mostly made by the new gearbox team that made b3 because that dlc was meant to be used as the bridge between b2+b1.5+tftb ending to b3 prelude (which they've done really poorly since they completely retcon athena+the eridian watcher from that dlc+b3 while also not giving any new story voicelines in that dlc to b2 hunters AT ALL). that claptrap beggin to lilith to allow him back into crimson raiders is a very insulting joke reference to the rumor that the original claptrap VA (david eddings) which was a very important gearbox employee that was very underpaid and got harassed so much by randy pitchford's pranks quit gearbox due to payment dispute. it shows how much damage randy himself had done to gearbox itself by alienating his employees with his annoying prankish harassment shenanigans. not to mention how troy baker refuse to become rhys' VA again in b3 because gearbox got problems with VA union. those rumors combined foreshadow the many factors that made b3 main story have so much plot holes, retcons, missing characters that should have been present, and who knows how much contents that had been cut from b3 development... maybe its mostly because of randy's poor leadership, and also maybe its because gearbox tried to compete their battleborn with blizzardvision's overwatch (battleborn fails hard)... anyway, you can see how poor leadership alienating the talents in the team can eventually kill off a successful IP and wasted so much potentials...

You can force them to play a game but you cant force them to like it and if they dont like it they wont know why fans do like it. Unless its cadted and directed by a fan who was already a fan itll never be good. This is a cash grab by suits who dont understand the franchise.

Its true what happened with original Claptrap voice actor be he wasnt in Borderlands 3 already and was replaced by another guy who sounds the same so it was possible to do that with the movie.

Instead of the Gaurdians route, I think they should've taken the Dungeons & Dragons route.

and have guns that shoot swords... with knights and skeletons throwing swords awkwardly... no thanks. that would be fine in a borderlands bunkers & badasses spinoff, but borderlands is mostly about mad max sci-fi aliens-banditos-corporates-vigilantes drama in space.

[@kriscarroll3281]

Cumulatively this may have the weirdest casting choices of any movie ever made. It reminds me of video game and comic book adaptations from the 80s and 90s. They're still living in the era before studio executives finally caught on that they could appeal to a wider audience by just making a quality movie that at least somewhat resembled the plot. "Video games are for children. We don't need it to make sense. Just cast Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper. They'll put asses in seats."

[@Diandredofus]

Claptrap was hilarious in the games because he was annoying to the nth degree. Jack Black is an amazing actor, but he's the wrong pick for this type of humour because he's just way too cool to be that.
