In the past few years we've had Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners, Arcane, Sonic the Hedgehog movies, the Super Mario Movie, The Last of Us and now Fallout release to critical acclaimed from fans and critics. Why did it have to take this long?
It seems like the successes came from a simple standpoint of making smart decisions with the source material and understanding of the world's. Of course budgets play a huge factor into Star talent, writers, editors etc., but I feel like many of these things could have been present many years ago.
Like Resident Evil should have been such an easy project to make into a feature film. It's just a horror zombie story with a seedy organization running the shots. Somehow that was too difficult to do correctly. Or how multiple fighting game adaptations could just be martial arts films with your favorite characters Fighting, but we get extremely odd and poor movies like the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies.
Are we finally having stability with video game adaptations? Can the stigma of terrible video game TV shows and movies finally go away and we can continue to have projects with love and care of the Franchises to the forefront?
