I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie with a silent protagonist turn out good.
Chell wouldn’t necessarily be the protagonist. It could be Rattmann or other unexplored Aperture employees/robots
I liked Sisu.
But that’s all that comes to mind.
I would probably prefer an Aperture Science movie to a Portal movie. The backstory and supporting characters are more interesting than a real life version of the game play. Chel just isn’t that interesting and neither are the puzzles if you aren’t solving them.
Ok, now pass me the hopium. 💉
I’m NGL, if it doesn’t have a queer woman director, I don’t know if they’ll get why it works.
Edit: lol, seriously didn’t expect that to piss you guys off, but then again, a reminder of the demos on Lemmy, whether they say it or not.
Can you elaborate on this? It’s been several years since I’ve played the games, but I thought Chell being gay was a just a fan theory?
It was a (half) joke about GLaDOS being attractive to lesbians for specific reasons, and cishet men not really getting it. But also, I don’t care if it’s a “fan theory?” The character is like, a complete blank canvas, so I think it’s kind of silly to say she isn’t queer because it isn’t like, “part of the lore.”
GLaDOS also has pretty specific character traits that are easy to fuck up if you don’t understand why they’re endearing, which is more of the point.
Apologies, wasn’t trying to imply that the fan theory was wrong. I think it’s fun that people flesh out the universe. I just didn’t understand the joke. But now I am curious what it is about GLaDOS that’s so attractive to lesbians lol.
Definitely agree that GLaDOS is a nuanced character that the showrunners need to understand before they hamfist them as a villain.
Even in the before times I thought she was attractive. I thought it was so cool when I was able to get a screenshot of her face in both games.
Is Stephen Merchant on board?
…this is gonna turn into another Halo TV show, isn’t it?
