‘Its only problem is that they called it “blue”, had they chosen a different name that had nothing to do with “blue the game” it would have been an awesome movie.’
Every single time.
I, Robot be like:
I, Robot at least had substantial aspects taken from (mostly) the last short story. IIRC the bulk of the overarching plot was based off of it.
It was totally off in tone and characters, but as Hollywood adaptations go it was pretty OK. On the other hand it was a fun action comedy with a SciFi veneer.
They missed me with that Monster Hunter movie, you could plainly see in the trailers it was just a US Military advertisement.
Wow, I completely missed that this movie exists and thought you were fucking with us. But no, they seriously did a soldier isekai into Monster Hunter world. How much coke was involved in making such a travesty?
Either too much or nowhere near enough.

I assumed it was inspired and funded the same way and for the same reasons Gate was.
Wait monster hunter the game series or monster hunter international the book series? the books focus on private contracting companies hunting vampires and what not for the government while trying to keep the public from knowing monsters are real, one of my favourite book series so I hope it’s the latter
Try Monster Hunt.
ANY project that involves buying a license for an IP to make it is a lie. It is not the same thing as the original. It is, at best, as much like the original as a clone. It might look like it’s related but it’s purely a marketing gimmick to milk your nostalgia for every dollar they can slurp out.
Fuck nostalgia. The past was shit. You just forgot how shit it was.
The notion does feel a little cynical. It’s not like this is necessarily always the case and, even if such projects will fundamentally always be an attempt at making money in the hands of large studios, they can be well executed regardless.
It’s an example of the other way around, but as someone who frankly was immune to the notion of nostalgia from it, I recently watched the first Alien movie for the first time and played Alien Isolation afterwards. That was an amazing example of a game that really represented the ambience, notion and feel of the originals without being a carbon copy of it (even if they did rely overmuch on parallels in some parts and the general structure is surely more than inspired).
Though I suppose I must also give the point that I can’t think of an example of the game to movie pipeline that ended well. I’m sure someone will be able to share some positive experience there.
And/or you were a minor and were sheltered from a lot of it.
I mean you can’t really expect modern audiences to understand the color blue, so of course it’s just a reasonable reinterpretation into a different medium to make blue red like audiences are more accustomed to.
The opening makes fun of blue and people who like blue.
I still have no idea what the Vampire Survivors movie is going to be about.
Vamps that survived, obviously.
It’s about >!how they blessed the rains down in Africa to kill an infestation of vampires !<
Did anybody besides me like the old Silent Hill 1 film?
This is why I never want Iain M Bank’s books to be made into film
