Ahh yes the best part of borderlands is the story, writing and cutscenes. Not the dopamine fest of its shooting and going full loot-goblin. Why not take the borderlands ip, strip out the gameplay, and replace it with more of the corny and cringy writing and cutscenes until it’s a film.
Ok is the film at least retaining the original iconic cell shaded animation? Nope it’s live action.
Riiight….
To be fair-ish, I think certain parts of the Borderlands story, writing, and worldbuilding can be pretty solid, when it isn't trying to be stupid.
Being totally honest however, even within the same game the writing can be anywhere to "good-ish sci-fi" to "juvenile gamer. Hell sometimes in the same questline it can oscillate between good and gamer.
BRO! I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! I lived in a cave for awhile and I heard they were doing a Borderlands movie. For the longest time I thought it was going to be like one of those by the numbers "Illumination" style animated films, when I heard the casting I thought they were gonna the voices. Nope. I was so wrong and dumb.
