Being from Idaho, no one gave a crap about Sonic the Hedgehog when I was a kid in the early 2000s. I was picked on for my passion for it; what those kids did not realize is that Sonic is what kept my spirits high during awful times at home. Years later, it's funny see those kids who picked on me grow up to have children who love Sonic and thus buy Sonic stuff for them. Case in point, Sonic 2 was the movie I wanted for so long and now it seems those people finally get why Sonic is beloved and how he comforted so many after all these years. Paramount got it right and I'm excited for Sonic 3.

When it comes to Detective Pikachu, I loved how you could just tell the directors and writers of the movie knew their audience. Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu was something I'd never expect to work! And yet...it did. The movie is one of the best when it comes to world building. I've heard the argument that this movie didn't do any world building because it was done in the games/anime but the world built in the movie feels uniquely its own. World building isn't just about telling us what's in this world, it's also about convincing us that the world is lived in and that there are stories going on outside of the main story.

A lot of the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie was filmed in Thailand! The temple in the background at 9:23 is called Wat Chaiwatthanaram, which was built back in Ayutthaya in 1630 by King Prasat Thong as the first temple of his reign and a memorial for his mother. It was designed in Khmer style to gain Buddhist merit. Ayutthaya was once a big kingdom with the city as its capital that lasted from 1351 to 1767. King Rama I, who founded Bangkok, is from there. Other temples used for the movie's production were Wat Phra Si Sanphet and Wat Ratchaburana (both in Ayutthaya as well). The arrival of Earth's contestants via boats, Liu Kang's meditation scene and the fight between Liu Kang and Kitana were filmed at the Railay Beach and the Phra Nang Beach. Say what you want, but the movie did a good job showcasing Thailand to the world. And speaking of Goro: Goro was portrayed by an elaborate $1 million animatronic created by Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis of Amalgamated Dynamics and operated by 13 to 16 puppeteers! Because of how advanced it was, it kept breaking down, and the person operating Goro from inside could only do so for two minutes at a time due to lack of oxygen, so its screentime was reduced.

I'll say Uwe decision to fight his critics is a lot less impressive when he didn't fight some of them that, you know, have a background in fighting.

Seanbaby even challenged him directly, after he fought some critics. That makes him seem even more childish.

[@SandwitchZebra]

I hold a theory as to why Daisy was in the 90s Mario movie instead of Peach. See, at the time of the movie’s release, Peach was still known as “Princess Toadstool” in the west; her Japanese name of Peach wasn’t used in a big title until Super Mario 64. However, Daisy _was_ named in her appearance in Super Mario Land. Given the creators obviously had very little knowledge of the source material, I think they saw a princess be named in Super Mario Land, looked at absolutely nothing else, and assumed that Daisy was the same character as Princess Toadstool and so the princess in the movie was named Daisy because of that.

[@whisperinwind87]

I would say that th pokemon movies are less video game movies but anime movies, they after the big hit of the anime, which was more based of a comic based off the game, and when directly connected to the anime as a big adventure for the anime characters.

48:25 the director tried to follow the setting of Jill getting brain washed in the fifth installment of the video game, but the whole movie just let the string get loose, feeling like no one cares about what is the core part of the story. Why does the director love such a unbeatable original bland character called Alice so much? Actually I am not a fan of that director Paul, even his original Underworld series doesn't attract me anyways (not a fan of vampire or vampire hunter thingys, only love that Tom Cruise x Brad Pitt movie), so I became a nasty guy who flooded negative reviews by creating multiple accounts and used them when Monster Hunter movie came out Re Afterlife is a forgettable movie, but I clearly remember the intro with pretty decent unsettling music where the zombie apocalypse started and the unrealisitic fighting scene in the bathroom, it is a cool approach for 12 year old me at that tome tho, although I still feel like it's just a below average popcorn film even far worse than the Transformers series

Before the live action Mario movie was even released, some Nintendo executives originally wanted the movie to stick closer to the games. There was even an early draft called “Drain Man,” since the script was very similar to “Rain Man.” Unfortunately, they hired a Husband and Wife duo of TERRIBLY incompetent directors who kept rewriting the script every day. So most of the actors didn’t even bother remembering the lines. And those two were the ones who hated the Mario games and wanted the movie to be like Max Hedroom. Also also, one of their original pics they wanted to direct the film was Harold Ramis (aka Egon from Ghostbusters), who was also a fan of Mario.

The most painful video game movie is the one that never happened; the flop fighter jet movie Stealth was originally intended to be a Star Fox movie. I'm one of the few people who will defend Stealth as at least grudgingly okay, but as a avid Lylat Wars fan I will forever wonder what could have been. Also you seem to have missed Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children/Complete and Street Fighter Assassin's Fist. While neither were mind blowing, Advent Children basically spawned an entire sub genre of fight scenes and is directly responsible for RWBY, and Assassin's Fist was at least relatively faithful to the franchise roots. They were both shown in cinemas here in the UK so they should have been included, especially since Advent Children is the canon continuation of the FF7 story.

*Hot Take:* None of the live action Resident Evil movies were bad except for The Final Chapter. Fight me, I'll keep defending them till the day I die. They got me into the franchise when I was a kid and managed to play every single Resident Evil game. Loved most of them, didn't care for some, and outright disliked one of them. There's reasons why I think the movies aren't bad but I'm not gonna write an extremely long comment here. *Edit:* I never seen Welcome to Raccoon City. The Monster Hunter movie is pretty good too. I tried getting into the games in the past before the movie was announced and I found them pretty boring. Watched the movie and it got me interested in the games and I got Monster Hunter Rise on my Switch. The games are still not for me.

But since I've been in the fandom at one point, I'll try to. But the problem is like the Sonic movie syndrome, which the animatronics have red eyes that upset a lot of the fans.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I'm glad video game movies are starting to actually be good. Ok, it wasn't too surprising that sonic was good, because sonic has existed in cartoons for a while now, and is arguably better as a cartoon character than a video game character. Mario is most likely gonna be amazing, because nintendo is pretty much leaning over the shoulders of illumination for the new movie, and it's animated. Also, I just wanted to rant about this. Cartoons should stay as cartoons. I don't understand why hollywood has a hard time understanding that. I mean, look at what happened to the fairly oddparents. The live action reboot doesn't even feel like fairly oddparents. Of course, when done right, it can be good. Just look at sonic. Sonic is a cartoon character, but they managed to bring him into pseudo live action (sonic is animated in a live action world). I wish companies would stop making live action remakes of cartoons.

@@OmarAlikaj Yeah. And content from that movie was later put in a special version of the 3rd game.

While it pales in comparison to the amazing and emotional stories of the game series, there was a live action Yakuza/Like a Dragon movie that was made (I think by Takashi Miike) and it's a pretty great martial arts/brawler type of film. It's a solid and entertaining fight B-Movie that is too often overlooked. Just don't expect it to be a great story or to follow any of the games all that much. While I lament the lack of a proper Like a Dragon storyline in a movie, I still like the film for what it is.

1:00:10 ACKSHUALLY it was animated and published by Sony Animation, not Illumination.

"kids don't care about political discourse or societal standards" meanwhile, a few years after the mario movie dropped, a team at nickelodeon began work on an undersea cartoon with a LOT of clever humor and subtle nods to political discourse and societal standards, wrapped up neatly in kid-friendly comedy that also was legitimately funny enough to appeal to adults as well.

Technically Resident Evil Degeneraton, Damnation, and Vandetta are not video game based movies like those god awful live action films. They are meant to act as filler taking place between 5 and 6. Damnation and Vandetta are set after after 6 but before 7. In fact, Capcom has confirmed said three films I mentioned are CANON. This is because Capcom directed, produced, wrote, and created the three films. They supervised everything and made sure these three films STRICTLY followed canon to a T-virus. So, your opinions don’t matter here. Weather you like or hate these three films, they are canon and can not be uncanonized since Capcom says they’re canon.

Sega owns the developers of Angry Birds Rovio, which means The Angry Birds movies are now Sega movies. This also means a Sega property crossed over with Disney before Wreck-It Ralph because Angry Birds had a crossover with the movie Rio, which Disney now owns because the people who made Rio Blue Sky are owned by Disney now. it's crazy that that's 100% true.

The new Mario movie is coming out soon, therefore putting it in the thumbnail makes it more appealing to the algorithm.

It's stupid that it's taken so long for Video game movies to finally be given the same respect as any other movie, and even then critics still have a harsh bias towards them and studios are STILL struggling with the concept of respecting the spirit of the games their adapting. Detective Pikachu, and the two sonic movies are a night and day difference compared to literally every other live action attempt with Mario looking to join that club now.Made by people who actually understand and love the games , in Sonic's case there's so much respect that SEGA was reminded of why people love the series so much. Not only are these respecting the source material but also having the paitence to not rush to stuff they really want to get to sacrificing all the charachter development and world building required for a general audience to really appreciate those moments like the fans of the games. We are starting to see more and more that people are either finally understanding what these adapations need the most or have grown up with the series already finally in a position where they can help change the view of video game movies. My hope is that we keep seeing this going forward.

[@jesusdelcanto9715]

I recently discovered your channel and I enjoy your content. The first Mortal Kombat, both Tomb Raiders films with Angelina Jollie and the Prince of Persia movies are my favourite ones. I also think they really capture the essence of the games. Thanks for addressing their positive aspects.

[@christopherbackans560]

When everyone says "your movies sucks" that is not critisism. That is called facts. His worst ever must be alone in the dark, holy shit, i just threw the remote and left the room to scrub my eyes with cyanide. Cool video ❤, i have tried to find this kind of video 😊. Thank you.

[@gracekim1998]

But like saying why it’s bad and how to improve it is criticism

[@HydraSpectre1138]

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is one of the best animated films of all time. It’s peak Renaissance Era animation (1980s to early-2000s) and I’m not sure why people don’t put it in their Little Dark Age edits. Also, the film has Bryan Cranston as Fei Long in the English dub. Walter White as Fei Long.

the way Motral Kombat 2021 was described, placing a regular, normal-seeming MMA fighter into a deadly tournament like Mortal Kombat, could have promise and be an interesting movie if done right. unfortunately, it wasn't done right

[@Kerpkoop]

The reason video game based movies get such a bad rap is due to Uwe Boll. A man that’s made a career out of scamming the government by making movies that flop. The productions are all cost completely tax deductible, he can delay your taxes by investing in these movies, he can borrow money for the investment (that can also be written off for taxes), and he doesn’t have to pay taxes on the movies if they don’t make a profit. He just needs to pay for the licensed property, vaguely interpret the source material, flop, and collect the money.

The angry birds movie was actually animated by sony/rovio animation

I thought Final Fantasy VII Advent Children was in theaters, but I don’t care enough to look it up. 👀

8:57 -- Two games actually; one on consoles and another in arcades. From what I've heard, they both suck.

Also, the Angry Birds Movies were done by Rovio (released thru Sony), not Illumination.

[@johndawson9689]

Something for the sake of perspective. I'm not even 40 and i remember when there wasn't 1 movie based off of a video game. There were a few movies about video games and the only ones anyone had ever heard of were tron and war games. I saw sonic 2 and was so happy that it was a functional movie and i could recognize it as sonic, that's my standard for a good videogame movie. I'm just happy this mario movie is recognizable as post mario 64 mario media. It seems closer than the old first cartoon that was mario playing any genre than just straight mario. Mario as a western, as a detective mystery, as anything but a mario game straight on. This is mario and what more can i expect. No way it'll be anywhere close to detective pikachu, but how could it as the flagship? Realistic expectations. Now give me an R rated metroid the quality of aliens with half then movie sans dialogue.
