Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm sorry but the cast alone is proof they didn't give a fuck about the fans. It's also dumb as fuck how they're "telling their own story" and aren't ballsy enough to go the route fallout did (telling a good story within established canon).
I'm not going to see a movie about borderlands if the established, existing core character cast isn't literally from the game actors. Big celebs can be cool if they're their own unique characters, but core, pre-existing characters should be played from the games.
Should clarify: if you're going to use the main characters in the series, they should be using the actual actors. If you want to make some new characters, then that's fine. If these guys were brand new vault hunters, I'd be far more forgiving.
