It'll be fine for whoever hasn't played through the games but kinda seems like they hacked up the source material and shat into its dying carcass.

Kevin Hart is playing Roland who's 5'11". Lilith is 22 being played by Cate Blanchette who's in her 50's. I guess Jamie Lee Curtis fits the aesthetic of Tannis but in the trailer doesn't exhibit the same mannerisms. And then claptrap is voiced by Jack Black but has a filter on to sound more like the goober anyways. Maybe it's the gamer-gulag in me but I'm really thinking this is gonna suck. Like they could've gotten Terry Crews for Roland, Brandon Rogers for claptrap(just someone a little unhinged and funny as hell) , some youngish, mildly attractive white chick for Lilith, I guess krieg is fine just needs to be slightly slimmer, I guess the tiny tina is ok too but there's not enough energy imo. And the rest of the cast might work but there's nothing about them in the trailer. And it feels like they just used the characters like dolls for a script they came up with set in that universe. Like why not expand upon the lore either before we meet them on the bus, or in between 1 and 2 similar to the presequel, or between 2 and 3 (I never played the tell tale games... side-eye-1 side-eye-2 ) or just really anything else. They could've followed other wacky vault hunters on other planets and could've had them interact with the main cast of 1 2 and 3, depending on when they wanted to set the story. Idk it just seems like a lack of creativity in all departments involved in the making of the movie. I might pirate it tho just to see how bad it really is.

It's just slop but it always happens to the Vidya Game movies. whywhywhywhywhy what're y'all's take on it? Am I just yells-at-cloud

First Tolkien, now Disco Elysium? Are they targeting my data and making shows specifically to upset me?

Yes. Only you. I'm sorry you had to find out this way

That's worse news for Amazon than for me, I can just not watch it. Costs them billions per show cause they seem to feel the need to spend that much. So, to all actors, writers, directors, directors of photography, gaffer, grips, best boys, extras, supporting actors, featured supporting actors, caterers, teamsters, truck drivers, cgi slaves, prop guys, property masters (title sounds weird but they just keep the warehouse where they store all the stuff for a movie organized), art directors, art consultants, key frame animators, janitors, special guest star Wayne Knight as well as the camera operators should thank me for Jeff Bezos pissing away a lot of money on their solid, usually union labor simply to spite my personal tastes. Hell of a briar patch.

Unfortunately Jeffrey Bozos has access to the infinite money glitch so this is just one of his hobbies. But you do help with stimulating the economy though so keep letting them data mine you for more terrible IP abuses.

Star Trek is the only one I can think of they could mine. That would genuinely harm me
