It’s been obvious for a while now that Hollywood is hoping to position video game adaptations as its next big meal ticket, but — in an industry that’s always braced for failure and blindsided by success — the blockbuster opening weekend of “A Minecraft Movie” still managed to take everyone by surprise.
Age of the gamer is upon us.
gamerbros... when do we get the kirby air ride movie or dota 2 movie?
great a new flavor of shit
gameslop
grow up
gamerbros, they're about to ruin every single IP we hold dear. how do we respond?
Grim
my response is going and watching them movies, and then slicing open a dozen seats and stuffing cat turds and pigs blood into them
Why not dota 1?
in the Minecraft movie
how do we respond?
I don't care about fiction that much. I only watch old movies, play old games and read non-fiction books.
dota 2 girls have cute feet
WHAT VIDEOGAME SHOULD BE:
ANIMATED
OR
LIVE ACTION
AS A MOVIE?
POST THEM!
Why that combination?
quake 3 arena movie
counter-strike: source movie
gunbound movie
runescape anthology
What ever happened to Bayonetta? Diamonds
WHEN?
It doesn't matter if vidyashit is just as sloppy as capeshit, as long as there are ironic memes attached to them Anon Babble will defend them
i have a cat and pigs blood is extremely cheap and makes places look like a hate crime when you throw it all over
we grow up
SSBEU WHEN??
quake 3 arena movie
yeah, im thinking based
Fortnite is next
Ignore it as non-canon like gamers have always done to games they don't like in their favorite series.
This is the point everyone becomes contrarian and forgots about Paul Anderson and Uwe Boll being the kings of video game slop throughout the 90s and 2000s.
Ok
Since we fot mario 2 coming in 2026 and zelda in 2027, what other nintendo IPs can be good for a movie?
A live action animal crossing movie? Another pokemon movie?
video game movies are just gonna be isekai or reverse isekai with has been celebrities
it's so over
The whole fun people have with Fortnite now is playing with different skins. I’m afraid it’s unfilmable
Do we have any other videogame movies coming up this year until Mario 2 in 2026?
wow just like LEGO
The Fortnite brand alone has over 2,500 skins, with at least 1,000 being original designs, many of which are iconic—like Peely.
Anyway, Disney will probably handle the film since they own a significant stake in Epic. LEGO also owns a smaller share.
hey guys! Let’s make the lego movie but with none of the gimmick! And have Zendaya in a poor Hatsune Miku cosplay
Yeah, no….
retard
who could play otto?

This didn’t contradict my point at all. There’s nothing else it has going for it besides very old memes about tomato town and tilted towers or the battle bus but nobody cares about that anymore
t. Looser who can’t even look men in the eyes
Mortal Kombat 2 and I think thats it
the dota 2 tv show or anime or whatever that slop is called was awful, the writers never played the game
Now they can ruin two things at once! Brilliant!
Well, we are getting a live action lego movie in the next 5 years so
....what?
I like the movie merchendise
Collected all of the plushies and the action figures one week at a time.
It was a pretty cool experience, going to different stores in different cities and towns. It was a very Minecrafty experience collecting Minecraft movie merch.
My favorite has to be the pink sheep plush, just an adorable little fella.
NOOOO YOU WILL NOT DESECRATE THE SANCTITY OF THE KINOPLEX UUUU-UUOOOAWWHH UH OH I POOPY MY DIAPEY WAAAAH CHANGE ME ROBERT CHANGE ME
Why did it flop? While Minecraft is a success?
pokemon movie with a pokemon budget couldn't afford a better co-star
grim.
He was wh#te in concept art
Does this mean we'll finally get a remake of Disney's Lemmings?
Maybe
I'm going to keep playing Morrowind.
The best video game movies are nowhere close to the peak of capeshit. Now thanks to Minecraft, sonic and Mario they're going to bypass the 2010's capeshit era where the films were actually trying to say something and go right into tiktok slop
casually makes a potion for 1000 speed at level 1 and zoom across the map
modern games dont let you have this much power from the get go
It was a weird choice to adapt a Pokemon spin-off game rather than Pokemon proper. Not sure what the reasoning was there.
grand theft auto, call of duty, bioshock, half life, zelda, metroid, red dead redemption, there is lots of ip out there ready for the harvesting. the thing is will hollywood finally be able to make a video game movie that doesnt suck
starring no name mystery meat actors
based off a spin off and not the proper games and or anime
Based
What's there to adapt? They already fucked up halo, mortal kombat, street fighter, resident evil, silent hill tomb raider. etc. All there's left is call of duty which is super easy to fuck up. What else is there? Mega man? Metal gear? Good fucking luck.
Jonesy is super popular.
nigger, grand theft auto alone if done right would make billions
adapting the games or anime while on paper would be more logical, it also wouldn't be an easy thing because of how much longer those plotlines are to condense down. I'm pretty sure Detective Pikachu was made in the first place to be a blueprint for Hollywood to adapt.
literally by not watching is the only answer, but that's not going to happen. IP is king, if it's recognizable, you have a built-in audience. Comic books have bottomed out, but video games are an untapped gold mine.
they're making a damn Zelda movie, maybe my favorite game franchise of all time but it's a terrible idea, it does not translate to film because it's not really a narrative focused game, it's about exploration and puzzle solving. I won't be watching, but I bet it does gangbusters at the box office because BTOW and TOTK were massively successful.
It's not about making and actually good movie, it's about slapping a brand name people recognize on it and hoping people flock to it.
we throw popcorn around whenever the main character in a vidya adaptation makes a reference one liner
hello yes please let me know when the sexy beach 2 movie gets released thanks
no danny devitto
Wut, lol
Cast it.
PINK
HOUSE
They've been trying to make video game movies (unsuccessfully) for 30 years. How come they're only working now? Critical mass of audience members?
CHIIIICKKKKEENNN JOCCKKKKEEEYYYY
Jack black Will be in the Zelda film as Ganon
sings a song about zelda
MOBLIN JOCKEY!
how have they found such a perfect formulae to success?
I can't wait for the silver screen adaptation of Oppai Slider 2. It's long overdue.
Not after super Mario bros, but only when Jared Hess took on an ip
It flopped? I thought it was pretty good. I was confused why they kept hiding the dad's face though, and then at the end he's just some guy. I guess they thought the audience would figure out who he was from the sound of Pikachu's voice, but I have no idea what that actor sounds like.
