The very first footage had the character moving super slow and modern FPS is mostly dogshit so that combo made everyone think it was going to be bad.

I like Doomguy more than Doom Slayer. Even if maybe they're the same guy.

The new game goes back and forth between saying Doom Slayer and Doom Guy.

MrBling posted:There is supposedly a live-action remake of The Sword in the Stone being made for Disney+ because the world can never have too many movies about King Arthur. I know this will never happen, but I really wish someone would make the other two books of The Once and Future King. Because the obvious context is that the moment Arthur pulls out the sword is the moment hes irrovocably ruined his life. Just having The Sword in the Stone stand along is like playing Born on the Fourth of July because it's so patriotic

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Its actually a little of both! The UAC kicked open a door into hell so they could use it as a fuel source before splitting into competing Devil Worshipper and Turbo Capitalist factions, but the demons are also interdimensional colonists who invade universes to harvest their life energy. It's got a fun dynamic where the Doomguy is basically the only guy who realizes that they're both two sides of the same coin. Antifa doomguy is in fact the real demon

You could make a decent movie set in the Halo universe, but I don’t know if it could star Master Chief. The Chief is just a bizarre character - he’s almost a silent protagonist, but not quite. Silent protagonists like Gordon Freeman are supposed to allow the player to inhabit them, but Master Chief doesn’t quite allow that. He has a backstory, motivations and talks, even if sparsely. So, he’s a character, but just an incredibly strange one. The only thing he appears to know or care about is war. His only friend is a computer he’s in love with. The beginning of Halo 2 to the end of Halo 4 is basically the same day for him, other than implied brief hanging around between missions and a nap in the middle. At the end of Halo 3 he’s just drifting lost in space and he just casually gets in a stasis pod to wait to drift into some new enemies to fight as that’s literally the only thing he lives for. He’s basically what happens when you try to give a gun a personality.

Focus on Master Chief, have flashbacks to reach to fill in his character arc. Never take off his helmet when the character ages past 17 or something. Not that hard.

I would agree with you but, in actuality, forcing people to adapt the other books would probably just lead to a million versions of Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot, which I would not wish on anyone.

Alhazred posted:I honestly think it's kinda weird that a movie about killing demons were bad but a movie about how some people are genetically predisposed to be evil was good. Calvinism for the 21st century! Groovelord Neato posted:In the novels the aliens originally visited us in the Middle Ages and thought we'd still think demons were actual flesh and blood beings but we advanced faster than any known species so they didn't expect us to be space-faring when they came back. This is like Harry Turtledove's series about aliens invading during World War II, where they thought the earth would still be at the medieval level from when their probes visited.

The best part is the good aliens and the demon-producing bad aliens are waging an intergalactic war over the interpretation of a book (one side is literalists and one side is deconstructionists I think).

I am not conflating the two (never read the Turtledove books). The demon-producing aliens eventually get wiped out by a species called the Newbies that advanced even faster than humans.

The Doom novels are loving weird. IIRC the first few are fairly faithful adaptations of the games (well, as faithful any adaptation of the < 10 paragraphs of plot the original DOOM had can be). The stuff Groovelord Neato's describing doesn't really kick in until after they ran out of games to adapt and they just started making up their own crazy poo poo from scratch.

There were two Shadow Warrior novels. I didn't make it through the first one because it's batshit insane, and written by some guy who has pumped out hundreds of lovely books. If the original game had a racism problem it is only magnified in that book. Lo Wang eats sushi off the floor, kills people indiscriminately, and shouts all of the one liners from the game in contexts that sort of make sense.

I'm just baffled they're going back to that well when the last kid Arthur movie bombed and apparently it was good? It's just like the Robin Hood movies that keep coming out. How many have to bomb before they stop making them?

From what I remember, Otto Skorzeny was one of the most charismatic and likeable characters (right up until the main characters kill him in the last book). That being said it's good the series was written in the 90s because I think Turtledove is one of the many people whose brains were broken by 9/11. Even before then, he wrote a story where all elves are killed off because one visited our world and Gaëtan Dugas infected him with AIDS. I think he also wrote some fantasy book where an SS officer is sent into a Middle Earth type place and helps the elves commit genocide against the dwarves?

If Turtledove got his brain broke by 9/11, it sure as hell seems like it got fused back together with Trump. That dude is like one of the most ardent Trumpist-hater and will slug it out with Twitter Nazis and Confederate apologists who have misread him. It's one of the really surprising twists in this whole farce.

He did do a pro-Iraq War analogue book that was pretty lovely. And the fantasy novel has the Wehrmacht dude get sick of murder for what that's worth (not much). Turtledove books suck but I've been reading them for 3/4 of my life and can't stop now.
