What would it take for video gms movies to take over like comics book movies?

[valet]

Is it possible? I never thought as a kid the MCU would take over as it did. Could you see the same thing with video games. If so, what would it take? You can do both adult and kids stuff like Marvel. I'm not a video game person like that so I'm just curious.

There’s only two things that you’d need to make a great video game movie

1) A creative team that’s familiar with the game and understands why people like it
2) Barely any interference from the film studio executives

Movies based on games almost never get both of these things and that’s why most of them flop. It seems like we’re at the beginning of an era of big video game adaptations though because The Last of Us has been a hit, the Sonic movies did well and the upcoming Mario movie looks like it’ll be successful too.

Pretty much...

VG movies/series can work.. but you gotta respect the material.

Mario should do well. Hopefully one day we get a good ass Metroid flick

Metroid would be crazy if they play it up like the game. I was shocked as a kid that it was a woman.

I still can't believe Tom Holland was Nathan Drake

 

[Trapperman Dave]

They gotta understand it’s just some things they can’t take liberties on and it would just depends on the franchise. I think infamous and god of war would be good movie adaptations

Horrible casting. Then they had Marky Mark as Victor

shyt like that can’t be happening honestly speaking Chris pratt shouldn’t be voicing mario

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Kevin Feigi

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Season 2 of last years Resident evil that was on Netflix would do it

 

[Rekkapryde]

Infamous could def work if done right.

harrison ford should've played him, I could... maybe... see Tom Cruise as Drake.

Both of them are too old. Sully is about 60 in the first game and Drake was about 30.

harrison could work as Sully, he's old, younger tom cruise (mission impossible 1) would've worked.

A while back I said Dylan O'Brien (31) as Drake and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (56) as Sully. They'd still work now, O'Brien is baby face enough to sell portraying teen Drake and a few sequels later he'd age with the series to portray a family man.
