Then it’s gone and you have to recoup your body, another months long process. Dude was ripped for a week in a shitty movie no one is gonna remember he was even in.

We live in a world where Sonic the Hedgehog is an extremely popular and profitable film franchise now because the people behind it cared about it enough to enjoy what they were making.

@Splobkingofsplob I've only ever played MH:W myself, and even I was questioning why they needed to do the isakai thing. You'd think the concept of "Fantasy world, Monsters exist in it, People hunt them with cool fantasy weapons, Big monster appears, hunters go kill it with cool fantasy weapons" would have been enough to carry a 90 min film. But no, it was like its some crazy concept that wouldn't translate properly to film, so they had to change everything about it to appeal to mass audiences. So instead of MH fans liking it and general audiences feeling ok about it, nobody likes it, and now they'll probably not try it again for a long time, if ever.

[@ryanshippen859]

There's a phrase that defines this trash perfectly. "Tell us you've never played the games, without actually telling us." These people saw tiny tidbits of the games, then took those and decided to make a film off of what little information they had. And what we're left with is nothing more, but a poor attempt of a film based off a great video game series.

[@Treblaine]

Never liked Eli Roth as a director, all he ever had going for him was his willingness to push the R-rating to the very limit but his movies were otherwise just exploitation trash. And this movie is a PG-13 in a time when the rating is so limited.

[@herbderbler1585]

Cool to hear someone else describing projects like this as a skinsuit. That's how I described the Halo series, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one to use that word. It's obviously the go-to method for the woke locusts who crawl into an IP, extract whatever value they can, then move on to the next while the leftover husk rots behind them. They see fanbases as nothing but tools for them to use in order to legitimize a project that they know wouldn't get anywhere near the same level of attention otherwise. Thankfully people are wising up to this tactic.

The only good Halo live action film is 2012’s Forward Unto Dawn.

[@MamaMOB]

I actually looked up Lilith's age. She's 22. Not her late twenties her early twenties. Cate blanchett is literally 33 years older than the character she is playing. Amy Lee Curtis is also 30 years older than the character she plays. The characters she plays is supposed to be somewhere in her thirties she's 65. Also tiny Tina's supposed to have blue eyes. Hard to find a Hispanic actress with blue eyes huh? Not that Tina is supposed to be Hispanic but we can't have young white actresses playing young white characters now can we? (Yes I've heard Tina is the best part of the movie but she does not suit the character.)

[@maxkresnin9083]

Lilith's profile for the first game states she's 27, which makes sense as in older game materials she is referred to as a scientist. But yes, casting is inconceivable and unfuckingbelievable.

[@JonathanGaeta]

Sonic was almost close. If they didn’t make the decision to redesign him then there would’ve be one movie and the entire Sonic Movie franchise doesn’t exist. But they did redesign him and now I’m really looking forward to the third movie coming out this year as that’s the only movie I’m hyped for.

Eli Roth has always been mediocre. Plus his acting is atrocious. He was okayish in Inglorious Basterds, but any other actor would've done BETTER. Jack Black and Kevin Hart suck majorly as well. I avoid their stuff as often as possible.

[@MajorSmurf]

How to make a Borderlands film successful. - Good writing combined with that BL2 humour - Cheap - Animated - Live action can sit this one out - Made about ten years ago - Use your only good villain - Handsome Jack Out of these points... they hit zero but I would expect no less from our best western "creatives".

[@Enigma75614]

I don’t understand why Hollywood has such a hard time making good video game movies. A lot of these movies write themselves. I’m dreading the Zelda movie. I just know it’s going to be mediocre at best, which is a shame because it could be as great as peak Game of Thrones if done well.

[@chasehedges6775]

Sooooo true. Hollywood just can’t do it right

[@chasehedges6775]

The only legit good/decent video game film they made was Prince Of Persia The Sands of Time(2010) and that was 14 years ago and that was from Disney back when they were good. SMH

[@jbgtly4930]

The movie will be about Zelda being a Girl Boss. Link will just be there to do whatever Zelda tells him too, and to constantly say "Yes My Queen!!". On bended knee of course. Wouldn't be surprised if its the only reason the new Zelda game is being made with Zelda as the protagonist. Just so the wokies can say "we were just following the game". Just wait.

2:11 I could've sworn in the first game her motivation was to find out more about her power or am I confusing her with Maya

[@JohnDoe11VII]

In the first game there is barely any audio outside of written text between missions, there might be some text I don't remember on character selection for Lilith. You might be thinking about Borderlands 2 with Maya and audio logs littered around the research labs about her being raised by a cult. In the games the motivation has always been for players to find the Vault and the riches inside. Player stories have always been shallow in this series unless they become an NPC in the sequel game.

[@westerling8436]

I think you mean Zonk Bloid

[@no-bark4112]

nope. as was already said, you may be mistaking her for Maya from 2. Or, if you are actually thinking of Lilith, you're still thinking of info that wasn't written until the later games. In 1, all the playable characters, including Lilith, were very shallow, basically all their lore was just the synopsis given at character select, and all of their motivations were basically "find vault > get rich".

[@IBriefcase]

Yeah, that was Maya.

What annoys me most is Hollywood will see this flop and rather than realize it's poor reception is due to it being shit, they will conclude that "looks like people don't like movie adaptations of video games". Yes, we do. You just have to be respectful to the source material, make better casting choices, and deliver a compelling well written story. There's so much lore already built up in the Borderlands franchise that anyone with an ounce of respect for the source material should have come up with a great first live adaptation. But they Jumanji'd it instead. Fuck Hollywood man.
