ngl, this sounds like the music industry 20 years ago. all we need is for someone to comment about how “art should be free, maaaaaan.”

WGA member on strike here. I know the opinion I’m going to express here will not be popular but cracking down on password sharing is not only logical but it’s necessary.

I can see Zelda working well as something like the Witcher show, where Link’s paired with one or two characters at a time. Or something like Berserk’s early arcs, where the fairy sidekick is a comic foil to the taciturn lead.

It’d be easy to turn it into a “small group adventure” movie, with Link joining an ever-growing cast of companions on an adventure to save Hyrule. Some of the games have even done it already - that’s basically what happens in Twilight Princess, albeit just with Link and Midna as the constant companions.

I didn’t think of this when writing this comment, but the obvious route for a Metroid movie would be to take a page from The Mandalorian and make the first one about Samus having to protect someone for most of the movie.

I assume you didn’t mention the obvious Donkey Kong Country movie because they somehow hinted at doing that in the Mario film.

It’s pretty hard for me to revisit. I wasn’t HUGE on season 3 either (and while I always get yelled at for this, the cousin romance stuff just feels weirder anytime I rewatch) but the first two seasons are just so, so good and it truly sucks that Tambor is awful. I haven’t completely shelved it and I admit it, but it…

Tambor was a major asshole to Jessica Walter, for sure—she said as much in that cast interview with NYT: “In like almost 60 years of working, I’ve never had anybody yell at me like that on a set”, but she later said that Tambor apologized and she forgave him for it: “I respect him as an actor. We’ve known each other…

It really amazes me how many more seasons The Walking Dead went on after everybody I knew who watched it stopped watching it. I worked at Universal Studios there was/is a whole attraction for it and it was a big part of Halloween Horror Nights every year and nobody cared LOL

Joel gets Ellie to the Fireflies but they casually inform him that the procedure to create a cure will kill Ellie (since they have to slice her brain open). Joel has a hissy fit, goes on a fucking rampage and fucking kills ALL of them, including doctors and tons of innocent people, and pretty much dooms humanity, just…

There is a key narrative turn in the game that sets it apart from the stories it takes inspiration from, but I’m not sure it can be executed as well in a different medium like this. Seeing how they handle it is maybe the thing I'm most excited for about the whole series.

for now it’s a bit more interesting than the walking dead; but that’s a low bar.

This show was made so that people could proudly point out the differences between the video game and the adaptation.

It’s a zombie show, but with actually well-written and acted, compelling, very human characters you grow to care about. You know, a good story—that thing that humans are entertained by, not genres.

I have similar feelings. I watched “The Walking Dead” faithfully, long past the point where I should have stopped.

i even felt that way 10 years ago when the game came out haha.

It won’t.

Yeah there’s real potential I think in intentionally using the uncanny valley, and if the physical work is as good as in Malignant it’ll be a heck of a time. 

Yeah, we’re lousy with superhero shows and Doom Patrol is probably the most interesting of that genre because it largely foregoes that nonsense.

There was also a limited animation TV series in the early 60s from King Features and directed by Gene Deitch, very simplified but closer to the comics than the 30s\40s stuff
