Prepare for a rush of new game-based TV now that this is working

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I'm fine with that. As long as they do at least a decent job of adapting it.

Best I can do is another Halo style series where the director straight up says that he didn't look at any of the source material.

They won't though (usually).

And that's how it goes.

  • Good TV show that respects the source
  • More people consume more of the source and related products
  • Different IP looks at this and had a brilliant idea
  • Bad TV show that doesn't respect the source
  • Everyone shits on toxic fans and how making adaptations is not worth it
  • Different IP decides to challenge this
  • Go back to step 1

Yeah, it boils down to media companies not understanding what people like and wanting an easy cashgrab

Twisted Metal was good.

That one was a nice surprise

Narrator: They didn't.
