I think that was less the problem compared to the movie, by all accounts and previews, simply not being any good. There are plenty of long dormant game properties that could be the foundation for good movies or TV.
True, I just think it would have had a much better chance to succeed being relevant. Look at the new Fallout 76 expansion and its success following the series. Granted that series was actually good.
Relevancy couldn’t elevate a movie that was assembled by studio committee, starring, written, directed, and produced by people who don’t care one bit about the source material or even try to get what made it popular to begin with. And let’s face it, not everything is adaptable to begin with. Nobody played Borderlands for its plot.

Naw, that could have bombed if it was bad just like halo. Bad writing and casting was its issue 100%.
