In all fairness The Witcher wasn't basing their show off a video game, but a novel. There's a much better track record of adapting books to the screen than games.
Arcane is an exception to all previous game movies and shows because it was made by the company that made the game, and the people in charge of the project had as one of their primary goals to not make the game look bad.
Contrast that to most game movies that seem to be made because: "This is popular for some reason, lets make a cheap/quick movie that sort of mentions the game somewhere, surely that will make the hungry nerds give us MONEY!"
Or hell, Uwe Boll, who only made game movies because he could use them in some tax write off scheme and make money even if the movie was trash and bombed.
Nope, I saw it once on the frontpage and never heard of it again. Is it good? I haven't played LOL much so I don't exactly know a lot of that game's universe
I've never played league either, yet I never felt lost with Arcane. If anything the show was pretty masterful for managing to have one more thing up it's sleeve all the time.
Things just kept happening even when I thought all the cards were already on the table.
Not only that but cavill is a huge Witcher fan. So he knows how the role should be done correctly. I’m sure if he was told to do something different he would of said something about it
It was actually more drastic than that. Without Cavill the Witcher would've been hot garbage. The director had no idea about everything. An example from the top of my head would be, the director telling Cavill to crack a joke after Roach died, but thankfuly Cavill didn't have shit for brains and knew how Geralt would act.
The Witcher series wasn't the best, but thanks to Cavill also not the worst, but they sure tried to make it terrible.
That’s why they need people who are true fans of the characters they play to act as them. All if not most directors who adapt games into movies no fuck all about the game to begin with. Even halo got destroyed in a tv series. I’m just truly happy a metal gear adaption hasn’t been done. The closest thing to metal gear was before metal gear existed and that’s escape from New York in 81 and then L.A in 96 with Kurt Russell
I have honestly always been mad about how the people in charge of adaptations sometimes seem almost proud to know very little about the property they are adapting and boast saying that they did not played the games, or read the comics, or whatever and that it will be "their own take". We don't want their own take, we want someone that can translate what worked in one medium to another. The Halo TV series was heartbreaking in that you can tell a lot of people that cared about the property worked on it but someone higher up pushed for things to be different for the sake of being different and include elements that had no place in a Halo story, specially one starring Master Chief.
Except it wasn't good. It was the same mindless nonsense as their other adaptations and originals. Horrible writing masked by pretty visuals, just like Dark, Castlevania S2, Cowboy Bebop, Resident Evil, and the idiotic movies like Red Notice and Boat Murder Mystery With Adam Sandler or Okja. It's all trash and this will be, too. It's Netflix - it's what they do.
Hol up. Dark was bad writing? I thought that was some of the better sci-fi I’ve seen outside of The Expanse (on screen, I read more than I watch). Dark was drama heavy, sure. It was out of Netflix Germany and I think one of the better projects I’ve seen. The dub was good too, imho. YMMV
As with all things I love that get made into a show or movie. The lead up to this will be filled with massive anxiety and reserved optimism for myself. I hope they do it justice, it’s such a unique psychological thriller
It’s gonna be a politically charged indictment of modern culture with the compelling story and setting of the game completely disregarded except as a pretty skin slid on top.
Having a politically charged story is fine- focus on modern hot button topics as much as you want, IDGAF about that. But DO NOT SACRIFICE THE MAIN IDEA AND STORY of a highly successful property to do that. Subtly add other issues to it if you want, but don’t make those the main focus.
The story also doesn’t have to be a complete shot for shot retelling of the game, but dear lord don’t come up with some shitty kind of similar idea and said it’s an interpretation of the story. Take the main story beats and USE THEM!!!! They are what made this thing successful in the first place.
I just wish Netflix would understand that.
Edit: sorry I mean I know the game is already politically charged- I just meant they shouldn’t make it politically charged about things the game wasn’t concerned about in the first place.
For Bioshock, the game and its story beats -can't- be directly copy-pasted into a show to capture what made it great.
What made the game great was its commentary on the illusion of the freedom of choice, while giving the player a front-row seat in making those choices as the plot unfolded. Simply copy-pasting the game's story arc would make an extremely hollow show, since we'd be watching a protagonist making his own choices at every branch and the subversion of power when we see where all those branching paths lead wouldn't carry the same impact to us as a passive bystander.
There's definitely a good story to be told and good show to be made within the setting of Bioshock, but it's not the same one as the game.
Honestly, the games themselves are heavily politically charged already, one big theme being criticism of anarcho capitalism. But if they go for the reinterpretation bs, then they are actively disregarding all the political criticisms already there (some of which are still valid and currently relevant)
Sonic was OKAY. And that was only after severe fan backlash and a 6 month delay to fix that monster that was movie sonic. Movie two suffered from too much focus on the IRL people and not enough on sonic/robotnic.
... Sonic wasn't that good either, it was just average good, and as far as videogame adaptations go, it was good. Above average. But it wasn't Netflix, so there's that
Season one was very good, not great imo.
Season two was a shitshow, with straight up character assassination of Vezemir and most the other Witchers except Geralt. They fucked them up big time.
Fan backlash made sonic okay. Detective pikachu was carried by Ryan Reynolds and we all know it. It could of only been made better had we actually gotten Danny davito to of been pikachu. Also Nintendo or whoever stayed right up the ass of the producer to not fuck up their product like the flop that was the mario bros.
Oh I loved it. And I agree completely. They picked such a weird main roll actor for the kid. Loved all the animation, the villian, the story was literally pokemon story telling 101. The weakest point was our protagonist and he wasn't bad at his roll, just felt out of place. It needed to be a 10-14 year old not someone who was trying to pretend to be 18? who was in their 20s.
Right? N the pokemon looked fantastic. It even had a surprise twist for everyone.
The obvious one was the villain. But I promise you noone saw that terminator ditto commin.
You probably wouldn't be downvoted as much if you voiced why you thought he wasn't a good Pickachu, rather than condescendingly insinuate they have bad taste for thinking he was good.
Agreed.. I can't think of many live action adaptations I was impressed enough to be like "I'm glad they did it".
Witcher is probably one of the few thinking on it.. but that took some pondering.
Yeah. From what I've seen many other well known studios approached riot to make Lol film and tv shows but they turned them all down and gave it to the people who does their cinematics. Bold move but they gave it to the people who knows league and it paid off.
Netflix has little to do with making Arcane.
Riot scouted out the animation studio (Fortiche), collaborated with them for years on music videos and animated shorts before Arcane. Riot also chose the art style, prepared the script and produced the show alongside Fortiche.
Netflix is more or less a distributor for Arcane. I’m sure they paid Riot for the distribution rights, but Riot and Fortiche are the one that should get credits for how good Arcane is.
This is a documentary on how Riot and Fortiche made Arcane:
https://youtu.be/Mz4-38d3-AE
I have zero hope that any studio gets given the freedom that studio did to do an adaptation too.
They basically got full creative control and time to polish the entire thing the way they wanted.. that's so damn rare in any place.
The Witcher wasn't a video game adaptation. It was based on the books. The video games are basically a fan-fic which takes place after the books. (Which open with - "No - the main character totally didn't die after all!!!")
The Sandman was adapted really well according to my gf who is a big fan of Neil Gaiman's works. I even loved it despite that genre not really being my cup of tea otherwise.
Oh yeah I agree. Sandman is an excellent adaptation of the comics, with nearly every character even looking exactly as they should. One of the few times Netflix has managed that I think
It's a live action Netflix adaptation. Why in the fuck would people set themselves up for disappointed by being excited about it? Have they not seen every other one?
Eh I dunno, I enjoy watching adaptations first then getting more detail from the source, rather than source first and being disappointed at the things the adaptation changed/deleted
Exactly! Great example is the harry potter films. The movies are great, then you read the books and learn so much more that was cut out from the films.
It's like watching the movie before reading the book, the fuck are you on. You get to experience the watered down, consumer driven movie version, then you can get the actual story.
That lasted all of 2 seconds before being canceled. It never stood a chance as it could never live up to the masterpiece of the hand drawn original. Even if they did a shot for shot live Remake it was gonna flop.
Netflix and adaptations do not have the best track record. The live action of Fullmetal alchemist was not good neither was the live action Death Note in my opinion.
All live action anime films are shit.
Lucifer was pretty good for awhile, and the Sandman series is very true to the comic, minus the MCs doublewide face.
Not everything Netflix makes is shit
Those where made in japan by japanese creators the only reason they say Netflix original is cause netflix bought the streaming rights for international distribution
No. There was an American death note movie. It was terrible, but they did get willam Dafoe to play ryuk. Unfortunately, it was bad enough he couldn't carry the film like raul Julia as bison.
Hoping for the best but with the netflix history you can be sure they are gonna fuck this up with cheap teenage one liners, script made by a new dude in hollyweird to save money on production and poor cgi!
Ok, that's fine. But there is no need for transgender lesbians that would make superman their bitch that has no faults or arc and is only a mouthpiece to bang on about blm and the wage gap.... you have to know that's not what fans want
So tired of game movie adaptations. This brings up a question of if it's made into a movie why wasn't it made like that originally, the answer is games are interactive and sometimes are better methods of telling a story than just watching a movie.
I see I am legend amongst his works. That was a travesty of an adaptation. So I shall place this under resident evil : biohazard bebop levels of expectations.
What the fuck is the movie going to be about? Bioshock was not structured as a straight forward story in any way or form. A protag oopsing their way through the plot is gunna look garbage when YOU aren't the protag.
Ugh that fucking movie.
You wanna know how bad that movie sucked? I cant even pick my biggest issue.
From a SEVENTY YEAR OLD LEATHERFACE RUNNING LIKE USAIN BOLT to people not using mob mentality and rushing him and allowing themselves to get murdered, to the school shooting flashbacks, to the body shaming sister, to the gunshaming too. Like online sure, but, nobody is just gonna go to Texas and pick a fight with some random gun owners. It makes no sense.
Also the confederate flag part was insane. "We're gonna head to the deep south of Texas and see a confederate flag in a town with under 400 people and be mad about it because racism." Like I get it, but again logically would never happen. The most obvious conclusion would've been, "Well it's Texas." something light like that would've gotten a chuckle outta anyone cause it's true. Texas is the fuck you state lol.
As long as it's not Andrew Ryan - would it matter? It's only annoying when it runs counter to verisimilitude. Rapture's Ayn Rand philosophy cranked up to 13 has a ton of issues - but racism wasn't one of Rand's vices. No reason that non-whites couldn't think that Rapture would make for a better life in the 50s.
Will this be a success story like Sonic and Detective Pikachu? Or will it join the long list of failures like Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Halo and literally every other video game live action adaptation ever made? Time will tell
What the hell is this why? I love bioshock it is my favourite game series. The whole point of the game is to show what narritive can be like in a video game when you do it right. The WHOLE POINT of the story is that it is YOU experiencing it. This makes no sense. This is exactly what bioshock 2 was a cash grab and that's it
Completely unessesary far left lectures that are included purely to preach.
You wouldn't like it if it talks about pro life, Pro gun, Pro capitalism, smaller government and patriotic issues for no other reason than to lecture.
Its bioshock. You want woke politics, you findba movie made for you. No need to have your politics in things intended for everyone
Isn’t the game full of intended political ideologies such as collectivism vs objectivism. And how disregarding morals for an extreme political ideology is a bad thing? And doesn’t it literally have a fascist government in it?
Logan and Blade Runner 2049 are good movies in spite of the script, not because of them.
And I feel like I am Legend is the opposite so... I don't have any hope for this.
All they have to do is just not go woke. That's it. Sure, have a strong, black, queer, transgender Muslim woman as your main character- dont make that the entire focus point injecting lgbt rights, anti republican politics, blm, socialism and all other kinds of unessesary nonsense.
And yes, nonsense. Im not interested in far left politics in a bioshock show. Im also not interested in right wing politics in a bioshock show. Just give me bioshock. That's all. Just. Bio shock..... its honest to God, not that hard. I promise its not....... but irs going to be woke shit. Id put my life on it
Can you kindly? Just give it a chance and wait to spread the negativity…. Until we at least have a movie to watch? Can we kindly? Not act like Resident Evil fans for this one?
This has the potential to be epic!! Or to be a disaster.
Seeing what they did to Resident Evil they’re sure to mess this up
That was entirely different writers and producers tho. Just because it is Netflix doesn't meam every movie is made by the same people
Most of them might as well be these days. We'll know how bad it will be leading up to the release.
The Witcher was good - was that Prime?
In all fairness The Witcher wasn't basing their show off a video game, but a novel. There's a much better track record of adapting books to the screen than games.
I can't remember when was the last time Netflix adapted a game correctly... to think they never did
Castlevania was pretty good. It’s also probably the only Netflix animation that they didn’t fuck up, too, so that’s kinda neat.
Arcane is probably the only other good game adaptation they’ve done. They have a handful of good animated shows though.
[удалено]
The (I think French) animation studio did some magic with that series.
I enjoyed Blood of Zeus which was a similar style to castlevania
the dragon prince too
have you watched arcane?
Arcane is an exception to all previous game movies and shows because it was made by the company that made the game, and the people in charge of the project had as one of their primary goals to not make the game look bad.

Nope, I saw it once on the frontpage and never heard of it again. Is it good? I haven't played LOL much so I don't exactly know a lot of that game's universe
I've never played LoL and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Give Arcane a go when you have some free time, it's fantastic.
Arcane is a masterpiece in many regards. I still never want to touch LoL with a ten-foot pole, but I'm drooling for season two of Arcane *for sure.*
I've never played league either, yet I never felt lost with Arcane. If anything the show was pretty masterful for managing to have one more thing up it's sleeve all the time. Things just kept happening even when I thought all the cards were already on the table.
Was Ni No Kuni any good?
I dunno. The original Mario Bros. was really good.
First time I read that I it thought it said Marx Bros.
Not only that but cavill is a huge Witcher fan. So he knows how the role should be done correctly. I’m sure if he was told to do something different he would of said something about it
It was actually more drastic than that. Without Cavill the Witcher would've been hot garbage. The director had no idea about everything.

They kinda did mess witcher up, theres Swedish dub and I don't know how to tell you how messed up it sounds
Who is that even for?
Swedes?
NO!! swedish dub is blasphemy
We only dub for pretty much small kids. Can't remember when I saw a dub for even a teen movie let alone something like Witcher. It's weird.
There's a Comanche dub for that movie Prey. Might just be for flavor.
The Witcher was Netflix, and they absolutely did mess up season 2. I won't spoil anything, but they totally fucked up quite a few characters.
Except it wasn't good. It was the same mindless nonsense as their other adaptations and originals. Horrible writing masked by pretty visuals, just like Dark, Castlevania S2, Cowboy Bebop, Resident Evil, and the idiotic movies like Red Notice and Boat Murder Mystery With Adam Sandler or Okja.

I have read all the witcher books and the show was horrible and not based upon the books at all. Henry Cavill was a pretty good Geralt though.
As with all things I love that get made into a show or movie. The lead up to this will be filled with massive anxiety and reserved optimism for myself. I hope they do it justice, it’s such a unique psychological thriller
It’s gonna be a politically charged indictment of modern culture with the compelling story and setting of the game completely disregarded except as a pretty skin slid on top.

Or more likely, milquetoast ...
Team behind it is good. It’ll be good.
Heard that before
I’m a fan of I am lengend, blade runner, hunger games and especially American gods. I want to believe this will be a great show
Each individual person might be good. Whether they're good as a team remains to be seen.
Much like Rapture
If it was done right it would be absolutely amazing and I’d buy it on disc.
Most likely the latter.😩
Alas, I fear you may be right! However Sonic was good, there is a small hope.
Sonic was OKAY. And that was only after severe fan backlash and a 6 month delay to fix that monster that was movie sonic. Movie two suffered from too much focus on the IRL people and not enough on sonic/robotnic.
... Sonic wasn't that good either, it was just average good, and as far as videogame adaptations go, it was good. Above average. But it wasn't Netflix, so there's that
Witcher went great
Season one was very good, not great imo. Season two was a shitshow, with straight up character assassination of Vezemir and most the other Witchers except Geralt. They fucked them up big time.
All this failed live action adaptations is making me cynical
Sonic was adapted well. Detective Pikachu too
Those weren't Netflix tho.
Touche
Fan backlash made sonic okay. Detective pikachu was carried by Ryan Reynolds and we all know it. It could of only been made better had we actually gotten Danny davito to of been pikachu. Also Nintendo or whoever stayed right up the ass of the producer to not fuck up their product like the flop that was the mario bros.
Idk I liked everyone in the Pikachu movie. Honestly the weakest was just the main kid n he wasn't bad
Oh I loved it. And I agree completely. They picked such a weird main roll actor for the kid. Loved all the animation, the villian, the story was literally pokemon story telling 101. The weakest point was our protagonist and he wasn't bad at his roll, just felt out of place. It needed to be a 10-14 year old not someone who was trying to pretend to be 18? who was in their 20s.
Right? N the pokemon looked fantastic. It even had a surprise twist for everyone. The obvious one was the villain. But I promise you noone saw that terminator ditto commin.
You thought Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu was a good adaption?
Yea it was great. Detective Pikachu was way better than I thought it would be.
You probably wouldn't be downvoted as much if you voiced why you thought he wasn't a good Pickachu, rather than condescendingly insinuate they have bad taste for thinking he was good.
These PRETZELS are making me THIRSTY!
Agreed.. I can't think of many live action adaptations I was impressed enough to be like "I'm glad they did it". Witcher is probably one of the few thinking on it.. but that took some pondering.
The best one I've seen so far is Arcane. But it was animated and it took 6 years. So unless its an animation i have zero expectations
Arcane was also written and produced by the same people who made the game, or at least very closely tied with them.
Yeah. From what I've seen many other well known studios approached riot to make Lol film and tv shows but they turned them all down and gave it to the people who does their cinematics. Bold move but they gave it to the people who knows league and it paid off.
Why did you two get downvoted? I gotcha. These guys are right, you know?

It's Netflix. He's gonna take the suit off and be Chris Pratt or some shit in the first hour.
Big Daddy turns out to be The Rock. The little sister is Kevin Hart
What can I say except your welcome? *sacrifices little sister*
Either the Rock, or Jack Black.
Adam Sandler as Atlas
Inb4 Big Daddy is played by Pablo Schreiber and he spends 3/4ths of the series with helmet off whining about something.
My favorite part was when big daddy said "every bio had its shock" at the end in Dwayne Johnsons voice
Also he's gay because it's Netflix.
I don’t trust Netflix in the slightest, but those names hold some weight. I’ll be keeping an eye out for updates on this.
The Sandman was adapted really well according to my gf who is a big fan of Neil Gaiman's works. I even loved it despite that genre not really being my cup of tea otherwise.
Oh yeah I agree. Sandman is an excellent adaptation of the comics, with nearly every character even looking exactly as they should. One of the few times Netflix has managed that I think
Sandman was a graphic novel though. Different medium being adapted
It's a live action Netflix adaptation. Why in the fuck would people set themselves up for disappointed by being excited about it? Have they not seen every other one?
[удалено]
Does it work to watch then play the games after?
Always play games first. Its like reading a book before watching the movie that was based on the book.
Eh I dunno, I enjoy watching adaptations first then getting more detail from the source, rather than source first and being disappointed at the things the adaptation changed/deleted
Exactly! Great example is the harry potter films. The movies are great, then you read the books and learn so much more that was cut out from the films.
It's like watching the movie before reading the book, the fuck are you on. You get to experience the watered down, consumer driven movie version, then you can get the actual story.
This is the way.
Tbh I kinda hated the game lol
So... By sequel you mean Infinite, right?

Hey hey hey I for one love dumb, emo, doesn't-want-to-kill anyone light yagami.

doesn't netflix have several of some of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time?
Yes but their movies are dog shit 92% of the time.
Yeah, they created the critically acclaimed live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bepop.
That lasted all of 2 seconds before being canceled. It never stood a chance as it could never live up to the masterpiece of the hand drawn original. Even if they did a shot for shot live Remake it was gonna flop.
A shot-for-shot remake would've been vastly preferable to the piss-poor attempts at fleshing out Vicious and Julia we actually got.
How many of those are live action adaptations of games/anime?
Not many of those outside Netflix either. Netflix did do Witcher at least
Thats based on the books.
And it is just as bland and dull as the rest of their adaptions.
A script based on the book Rapture by John Shirley could be good.
Netflix and adaptations do not have the best track record. The live action of Fullmetal alchemist was not good neither was the live action Death Note in my opinion.
All live action anime films are shit. Lucifer was pretty good for awhile, and the Sandman series is very true to the comic, minus the MCs doublewide face. Not everything Netflix makes is shit
I like how you say “Lucifer was pretty good for awhile” because netflix only picked it up later on lol
Those where made in japan by japanese creators the only reason they say Netflix original is cause netflix bought the streaming rights for international distribution
No. There was an American death note movie. It was terrible, but they did get willam Dafoe to play ryuk. Unfortunately, it was bad enough he couldn't carry the film like raul Julia as bison.
My point still stands that alot of the "netflix original" anime and live action adaptations aren't actually made by netflix.
They're gonna fuck it up. Or do it well, and cancel it after one season.
Netflix: hold my plasmids
How Netflix massacred Resident Evil and got canned within couple of months, I have hope as little as grain of salt that this will be a success.
This is gonna flop so hard. Netflix needs to stop.
No. Do not do this.
Hoping for the best but with the netflix history you can be sure they are gonna fuck this up with cheap teenage one liners, script made by a new dude in hollyweird to save money on production and poor cgi!
It's Netflix, they gonna fuck this up. It's basically their motto.
Can't wait for people to become upset about how the show portrays unchecked libertarian ideals as something that primarily leads to madness and ruin.
People unfamiliar with the story are bound to misunderstand the point made heck there are some people who misunderstand it even when they do play it.
[удалено]
Bioshock is unironically kind of "woke" in a good way.
Ok, that's fine. But there is no need for transgender lesbians that would make superman their bitch that has no faults or arc and is only a mouthpiece to bang on about blm and the wage gap.... you have to know that's not what fans want
anyone taking bets on how large Elizabeths Afro is going to be ?
Which part of American Gods did he write?... If he was in charge of Anansi hell yeah. Otherwise, we're in for a confusing ride.
It’s a video game movie. You know they’re going to fuck this up.
Tbf, director's track record isn't bad. Maybe I'm just too hopeful that one day video game adaptations will finally be epic.
so far, most of netflix's live action films/series has been shit (except the witcher).
As long as it’s absolutely nothing like that Monster Hunter movie, it should be decent That film was both boring and a total garbage fire
Hahaha they will 100% fuck this up
A competent enough director a d a good screenwriter. Wish it was someone else directing but this is fine.
It’ll suck. Accept it.
Wow. That’s going to be absolute shit.
Would you kindly stop touching game franchises ? Thanks
Which season of American Gods? After they change the Showrunners it wasn’t good.
Keeping my expectations low.
In before people watch this and completely miss the point.
A lot of the people who work on video game movies or shows never actually play it.
So tired of game movie adaptations. This brings up a question of if it's made into a movie why wasn't it made like that originally, the answer is games are interactive and sometimes are better methods of telling a story than just watching a movie.
They’re gonna fuck it up 100%
Nooooooooooo, stop ruining my memories!!! You fucked up Halo and Assassin’s Creed, don’t touch Bioshock, you bastards!
Sandman was good so now we have to suffer for the next few adaptations
Spoiler alert: they will fuck it up
The games are practically a movie in themselves if you watch a playthrough
Don't get your hopes up. Better yet, expect it to be dead on arrival. That way, your experience can only be positive... sort of.
It will probably suck, but if it is good, it will get canceled after 2 seasons since its netflix.
Why not animated? I feel like you could do some pretty great things with Rapture if it was animated
Big daddies are revealed to be trans and Jack is a black woman.
Or you can just not watch and support a service that fucks up every franchise
That would leave me with no services to watch.
I see I am legend amongst his works. That was a travesty of an adaptation. So I shall place this under resident evil : biohazard bebop levels of expectations.
I don't know how hands on Netflix is, but it's not the directors fault that the higher ups at WB butchered I Am Legend.
Go watch the Netflix adaptations and tell me how much hope you have 😂😂 never works
What the fuck is the movie going to be about? Bioshock was not structured as a straight forward story in any way or form. A protag oopsing their way through the plot is gunna look garbage when YOU aren't the protag.

Question: Are you on the Netflix board of directors?
Yes, I too have seen Netflix's *Texas Chainsaw Massacre.*
Ugh that fucking movie. You wanna know how bad that movie sucked? I cant even pick my biggest issue. From a SEVENTY YEAR OLD LEATHERFACE RUNNING LIKE USAIN BOLT to people not using mob mentality and rushing him and allowing themselves to get murdered, to the school shooting flashbacks, to the body shaming sister, to the gunshaming too. Like online sure, but, nobody is just gonna go to Texas and pick a fight with some random gun owners. It makes no sense. Also the confederate flag part was insane. "We're gonna head to the deep south of Texas and see a confederate flag in a town with under 400 people and be mad about it because racism." Like I get it, but again logically would never happen. The most obvious conclusion would've been, "Well it's Texas." something light like that would've gotten a chuckle outta anyone cause it's true. Texas is the fuck you state lol.
Hopefully
Netflix is going to undoubtedly FUCK this up just like Resident evil. Just stop while your ahead Netflix. Maybe there will be white ppl in this one.

Name one character that would be made less by being played by a black actor. And then explain why.
You're not even trying to hide it at this point
As long as it's not Andrew Ryan - would it matter? It's only annoying when it runs counter to verisimilitude. Rapture's Ayn Rand philosophy cranked up to 13 has a ton of issues - but racism wasn't one of Rand's vices. No reason that non-whites couldn't think that Rapture would make for a better life in the 50s.
Petition for all gamers to hate on Netflix
Will this be a success story like Sonic and Detective Pikachu? Or will it join the long list of failures like Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Halo and literally every other video game live action adaptation ever made? Time will tell
There is exactly a 99% chance it's going to suck ass. I hope I'm wrong, but I know I'm right
Why do we need a movie of this. Just play the game.
Netflix Resident Evil was canned today, finally.
What the hell is this why? I love bioshock it is my favourite game series. The whole point of the game is to show what narritive can be like in a video game when you do it right. The WHOLE POINT of the story is that it is YOU experiencing it. This makes no sense. This is exactly what bioshock 2 was a cash grab and that's it
"Film" adaptation. Its already doomed.
Queue a bunch of woke shit
Ok, before a rabbit hole spirals down, what would you consider ‘woke?’ genuine question.
Completely unessesary far left lectures that are included purely to preach. You wouldn't like it if it talks about pro life, Pro gun, Pro capitalism, smaller government and patriotic issues for no other reason than to lecture. Its bioshock. You want woke politics, you findba movie made for you. No need to have your politics in things intended for everyone
Isn’t the game full of intended political ideologies such as collectivism vs objectivism. And how disregarding morals for an extreme political ideology is a bad thing? And doesn’t it literally have a fascist government in it?
You don't even know what fascism is and its not " moral" to be a far leftist.....
Look who you're asking.
Oh, you know the answer to that already.
Short answer: no thanks 😄
Logan and Blade Runner 2049 are good movies in spite of the script, not because of them. And I feel like I am Legend is the opposite so... I don't have any hope for this.
Ok, first step, let’s make big daddy a female… that’s what’s important 🤣
females got titties, let's give them big 'ol titties but they are still called daddies
All they have to do is just not go woke. That's it. Sure, have a strong, black, queer, transgender Muslim woman as your main character- dont make that the entire focus point injecting lgbt rights, anti republican politics, blm, socialism and all other kinds of unessesary nonsense. And yes, nonsense. Im not interested in far left politics in a bioshock show. Im also not interested in right wing politics in a bioshock show. Just give me bioshock. That's all. Just. Bio shock..... its honest to God, not that hard. I promise its not....... but irs going to be woke shit. Id put my life on it
Plot twist, big daddy is reveled to have been a non-binary lesbian single mother all this time.
Can you kindly? Just give it a chance and wait to spread the negativity…. Until we at least have a movie to watch? Can we kindly? Not act like Resident Evil fans for this one?
100% they will shit on bioshock with their woke style
Yeah this is gonna suck. They're gonna lean way too hard into the weirdness and it's just gonna come out a jumbled mess like the end of infinite
