At this point I’m going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

    Can’t speak for everyone, but the reason that I care when one of my favorite IPs has a terrible movie, is because the terrible movie ensures that a good one will never be made.

    They did a great job with Fallout, and now they are making a second season.

    Then there’s Borderlands.

    I still haven’t seen it, but I already know that the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.

      I made it about as far into the Borderlands movie as i did with the monsterhunter movie, bailing after about a 3rd of the film.

      Not really super popular take, but the sexual politics (as in the way the story treated women) in both were something I struggled to get past. Plus they were both goofy and not in a very fun way. I have very similar feelings about the fallout show lol, but glad you enjoyed it.

      But i think i teenager might have liked borderlands

      Super Mario Bros got another movie.

      But generally, video games don’t usually work as movies. So it isn’t that big of a loss, lol

        Not all of us have another 30 years to wait for everyone to forget about the first disaster.
