    And I am already waiting how the Borderlands adaptation is going to flop so hard that fishes out of the water will be envious of the move. For the same reasons.

      Even if it’s faithful, the humor from the games is dated so much that only diehards will like it. If it’s not faithful, diehards will hate it.
      It’s almost guaranteed to be bad by huge portions of people that will watch it

          Jack Black seems to be a good fit

            Not a bad fit, but why not the original voice actor? That’s what a lot of people want to see. These VAs do amazing work and their faces aren’t on screen

              there was a whole pile of shit happening between gearbox and the original claptrap.

              As for the current(? no idea, havn’t played anything after pre-sequal) claptrap, they want star power, which is why the mario movie cast had none of the current voice actors for any of the characters.

                I get it, but as a fan of Mario, would you rather watch the movie with the va or Pratt?
                I’m 100℅ va, but I may be weird

                  I’m explaining the answer to your question, not saying the reasoning is good or bad.

      I can almost excuse jack black but what in the everloving fuck were they thinking casting Kevin hart as Roland? I guess we’ll see what his acting range is, but seeing as it’s a comedy I don’t think he’s going to be the straight man Roland was.

        I’m more iffed by the casting of Tiny Tina. That actress basically acts out an arrogant teenage girl stereotype in every film, which is really not a good fit for TT.
