Eli Roth’s adaptation of first-person shooter Borderlands had a fan event this week that left the majority underwhelmed.
I don’t normally pay attention to reviews, but I had a feeling this was coming. When they released that one minute clip a while back, it didn’t feel right, or even funny. One of the biggest pointers towards its lack of quality was the piss “joke” in the trailer. As one of the quotes mentions, it may just come off as a poor man’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
Now I’m curious, what’s your first best television video game adaptation? (My guess is Castlevania, but also I can’t really think of any others right now.)
Arcane (also starring the fabulous Ella Purnell)
Anything made from that IP is going to look like Shakespeare compared to the original.
I recommend that to any of my friends regardless of whether they played the game or not. Probably better if they didn’t or at least don’t anymore though, so I can remain friends with them.
Oh cool, I’ll have to check it out.
Arcane is perfection… Ignore the base material. Just enjoy the show
