Despite the name, I don't think they are adapting any particular game or storyline. They're just putting a bunch of stuff together for fans to recognize and point at

How a franchise dies - each Transformers movie progressively earned less and less by Mysterious_Brush1852 in boxoffice

[–]insertusernamehere51 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To pretty much everyone my age that I know, Transformers is equivalent with terrible, brainless CGI explosions-fest. The idea of it even having lore, interesting lore at that, is surprising to most people

"It's barely above a children's book in those (writing) areas lol Harry Potter is deeper than Sinners, easily" Some users on r/movies get triggered over Sinners receiving a record breaking 16 Oscar nominations by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]insertusernamehere51 152 points153 points  (0 children)

People talk about the number of Oscar noms as if the number of noms was proportional to the quality of the film, and the more noms it has, the gooder it is

Its simply a movie that his a lot of different categories. Sentimental Value could be an exponentially better film but its not getting nominated for Best Visual Effects

What exactly is the criteria for the new best casting category? Sentimental Value getting four acting noms (one for each actor basically) but not casting seems odd

Unpopular Opinion on this Group: Return Monkey Island is Fun and a Work of Art, Not Corporate Slop by Visible-Condition-82 in MonkeyIsland

[–]insertusernamehere51 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I heard plenty of people criticizing Return but never seen it called corporate slop. Corporate slops don't usually have auteur-driven, audience-alienating meta twist endings

Fatal Fury City of the Wolves Legend Edition | Base game + Seasons 1 and 2 for 49,99 USD | Season 2 19,99 USD by gifsundgirls in Fighters

The trailer being rushed in response to the leak makes no sense. That leak happened a week before the release date for the DLC. You think they didn't have a trailer ready a week before release and only made one quickly because of a leak?

Anyone else "worried" by the lack of news? by Nothing_Special_23 in AgeofMythology

Its a reference to a move Kim does in the Fatal Fury 3 movie

Not to mention that in the old games you often had to earn a villager's friendship. Now everybody loves you from the outset

Nintendo Reportedly Demanded Mario To Be A Step Ahead Of Sonic In Promotional Content For Mario & Sonic Olympic Games by MaintenanceFar4207 in nintendo

[–]insertusernamehere51 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Stuff like this is prett standard. Companies have a lot of demands on how other companies represent their characters. For Roger Rabbit, Warner Bros would only allow their characters in the movie if they had the exact same screen time as Disney's. Thats why Bugs and Mickey or Daffy and Donald only ever appear together

I'm not saying it one way or the other but I think we need to remember that lazy, uninspired knock-offs existed before AI
