    Movie adaptations are Hollywood’s equivalent of a tourist trap. Of course it will be crap 95% of the time

    Adaptations from a work that originated in another format are difficult to pull off. But that’s only part of why most adaptations are bad. Marketing knows that if there’s a big franchise name in the title, the movie will turn a profit no matter how bad it is

    “insult to gamers and movie lovers”

    I’ve seen this sort of article written every time a franchise is adapted to a series/movie

    Holy shit I’m so fucking tired of these. Will we never collectively learn not to fall for marketing stunts like these?
