This looks awful. Kevin Hart as Roland, seriously? Did anyone working on this even play any of the games? Jamie Lee Curtis as tannis? What's she going to do, perform an archeological experiment on some yogurt? Roland and Lilith, the protagonists from the first game, vault hunting with krieg from the second game, and claptrap from the presequel, along side tannis, whose only job is to stay at the base camp spouting insanities, and tiny Tina who's only a little more sane than tannis and lives in a cave? Who the fuck was this made for, it surely wasn't the fans of the franchise

Edit: I'm not done yet. Kate blanchet, born in 1969 is portraying the 27 year old Lilith. Roland, who is officially listed as 5,11" is portrayed by five foot fucking nothing Kevin Hart. I do not believe in the slightest that Hart is even capable of playing Roland due to his personality and the fact that he plays the same fucking character in everything he's ever been in. Jamie Lee fucking Curtis?!?!?!? Jack black as claptrap....he isn't even a robot! Tiny Tina could just be portrayed by the voice actress considering she's also already an actress, but nooooo, that'd make too much sense. Fuck this stupid shit, I'm mad about it. That's all for now.

Claptrap is from the original game, but where the fuck is Mordy?

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's true, however he wasn't a playable character until the presequel. I have zero expectations of this actually being a good borderlands movie. It'll probably be along the lines of the Wanted adaptation from comic to movie.

Tiny Tina was~~n't a PC until BL3~~ never a PC.

I also expect this to be as good as the Hitman and Assassin's Creed films combined.

[–] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait, Tiny Tina is a playable character in BL3? I must have missed that part.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait, no, she's not. I don't know why I thought that. What is wrong with my brain.

[–] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'd play as Tina if they did the game right. I could see her having an ability like Moze's Iron Cub but a rabbit, and more explosive.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Borderlands 4, anyone?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 9 points 8 months ago

It's obviously about shoving as many high profile names in there as they can to make it seem like it will be really good

Jack black as claptrap....he isn't even a robot!

I don't even want to ask if you're mad that Jack Black is a human being or it's something else entirely.

[–] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Jack black is more than a man, however I have my doubts about him meeting the spirit. Of all of the roles, this is most definitely the one that could have been handled by the original actor. I was mad, but didn't have anything mean to say about Jack black directly. I haven't seen the Mario movie so I don't know how well he executed that, to be fair

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

To be fair Cate Blanchett ages like a vampire.
