Video Game Movies and TV Shows

Does AvP count as a vidya movie?

I would gravitate towards "no". It really only keeps the name and rough premise, but for some reason it's set on present day Earth instead of being effectively Aliens with the addition of Predators. Because heaven forbid we ever get more Colonial Marines action.

Was that one better than the Alice shlock?

The main action girl is black instead of Milla Jovovich.

In defense of Welcome to Raccoon City it was fucking hilarious. Terrible, but funny as hell, better than the Paul W.S. Anderson schlock.

While I am glad that Paul Wet Shit Anderson and his dirty cumslut aren't skullfucking the IP anymore, I found Welcum to Raccock Shitty to be very meh. Not outright terrible, but not nearly good enough to make RE fans happy. It sucks, because the director really seems like a fan, but when the studio slashes the budget as much as they did, you've got to cut alot of shit out. Then there's shit like Wesker and Brian Irons not even remotely resembling their game counterparts. And we're 7 movies in, where are the fucking HUNTERS???

I'm glad I didn't pay for it, I haven't paid for a Resident Evil movie since Apocalypse.

Oh dude the casting was all off. Whatever DEI shit Jill and Leon were. Claire and Chris seemed okay, but yeah leaving out most of S.T.A.R.S. for a lack of a body count and merging two games into one was a bad idea. And right? Hunters are fucking iconic! It took us two movies to get a decent looking, albeit lame because he only used guns, Nemesis. But Hunters? No respect.

The two funniest moments are still Chris asking what’s a chat room and Leon passed out at the front desk listening to that Crush song and not hearing the flaming zombie burst in. It’s a good watch with the right crowd and laugh kind of movie.

Methinks Hollywood doesn't care about Hunters because they aren't some kind of zombie or zombie mutant.

[Old Black Man]

Probably. Resident Evil has such an interesting roster of monsters but they just want basic bitch zeds. Even back in the day the zombies were more interesting than most, what with their distinctive shambling sounds and haunting moans. Now zombies just growl and hiss like feral people.

They probably think those dino/frog dudes are "too silly" for an adaptation or some shit.

The folks that wrote Sanic 3 want to make a Zelda movie using Wind Waker specifically.

Inevitably, Link would have to talk. The question is how you would do it. The last time Link talked gets memed on constantly, and Captain Lou Albano for Mario was liked by *some* people. It didn't really matter because that Bing Bing had Chris Pratt, since Mario can afford to be more comedic.

It's more action-y, I guess.

Normies won't understand why the zombie virus can also create Deep Ones on steroids.

Why the fuck Wind Waker? Shouldn't they first show us a more traditional Hyule before giving us Post-Post-Apocalyptic Water World Hyrule where Zelda isn't even a princess? That sounds like a confusing way to start things.

You answered your question. Princess = damsel in distress or some shit.
It's probably also because the characters look like children in that one.

If they make Wind Waker Link say the line, with a mini-dance on the "excuuuse" like these ones:



I'll watch it in theaters.

[CuckTurdginson]

There is a live action Zelda in the works that’ll presumably have a more traditional Hyrule.

Ofc then you run into the problem of it not being animated, which I think an adaptation of this series should be. At least a theoretical Wind Waker movie would promise that.

A flight of fancy on the part of these writers, nonetheless.

Unless Uwe Boll is directing it, i'm not interested.
It will be as bad as Super Leguizamo Bros, or as the Dragon's Lair live action movie which is supposedly also in the works.
