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

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That one was a nice surprise

Narrator: They didn't.
