What videogame do you wanna see turned into a TV show?

[SwordBreaker39]

But DnD can be anything. It can be goofy or serious, or both.

For sure if real DnD sesions I played taught me DnD can be goofy as heck and most of the time it ends up being totally whack.

Castlevania 64
Smash Bros

That makes me remember that awful Castlevania series Netflix made.

Sorry to be a downer, but I'd say no more adaptations. The Amazon adaptation of Like a Dragon solidified it for me, since even to this day you'll more likely to find people in film and TV that think video games are just silly garbage.

They'll toss out everything that made the games unique and either shove in a their own storyline they arrogantly think is superior to the source (such as Like a Dragon) or make the stupidest story possible since they think people that like the source are morons (like Super Mario Brothers 1993). There's no care put into them unless you got the parent company breathing down their necks, like with the more recent Super Mario movie.

I wanna quote @SwordBreaker39 on this:
"Western media should not make tv or movie adaptation of games they suck at it."
I'm starting to get tired of western adaptations of videogames. I want more japanese anime adaptations of games, like Sonic X or Kirby: Right Back At Ya!

It's easier to do a light-hearted story I think.

 

[Omegapunch]

None sorry.

 

[Tonberry]

Yeah, probably.
But as a contemporary example, Baldur's Gate 3 has a great mix of light-hearted storytelling, and "deeper", more serious drama, and it doesn't feel like one ever replaces the other to me.

As with all DnD media, and especially Forgotten Realms where "everything is canon", it comes down to the vision of the creator, and how well they execute it.

And by god Bg3 did so much great things and the reason I love the game to death.

This is how a argument between 2 players can happen in a real DnD session.


I just wish some one would do a game adaptation of Dragon Lance chronicles.

Astarion my beloved...

I never read Dragonlance. I was deterred by old farts claiming it's for teenagers (Like that should deter me lol, I love that shit). I like Raistlin though, so I'll probably check out the Majere stories one day when I feel up to the task lol.

Dragonlance is my favorite books series of all time

 

[Xeno]

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors would make a good anime.

Shenmue could make a good TV show if done right.

 

[SwordBreaker39]

Yeah... but anime has sucked even harder since early 2000's

And by the way, the Sonic TV shows like Sonic Underground which are western were really well recieved back in the day. I wouldn't be so biased towards Japanese. Japanese cinema is terrible these days. They fell off hard in cinema after the Kurosawa era and Ghibli to then go towards anime and now anime is basically just for children on par with Marvel movies. Plus you had animes for Onimusha and Castlevania recently and they weren't exactly great even though I do give them credit, mostly I think from being produced and collaborated on with western studios, that it wasn't a high school student getting some magical bs powers and blah blah blah the same exact thing we get in every anime. But they weren't great.

I wanna agree and disagree with you a tiny bit there. I will say to me 80-90s anime was the top tier 2000 is good but most my favorites are 80-90s. But what I wanna disagree on is I think anime today is also good but then again my taste in anime has changed allot probably with my age.

I could give you a top 10 of recent animes I loved allot heck one of them share top 1 spot with slayers for me so I got 2 top 1 animes of all time one is from the 90s and one from 2020.


Yeah but that´s the point old sonic series where great because they where cartoon not live action. Today it´s mostly all about live action. And I will say it making live action Warhammer 40k would probably suck compared to an animated one.

I personally think anime and games never rely translated well to live action I may like Sailor moon live action series but it´s ass compared to the anime show.

Dragon ball sucked
Avatar the last air bender sucked
And netflix Death note sucked major balls.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

How haven't Blazblue, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Mega Man X, Azure Striker Gunvolt, Ace Combat, Skies of Arcadia, and Shin Megami Tensei (mainline) gotten picked up for an anime yet? I don't count Day of Sigma, the short adaptation of FE3, or that one prequel adaptation of Gunvolt 1

Also technically speaking Danganronpa 2 (also V3) never got adapted

 

[peapotmaster]

I wouldn't mind a D&D anthology series, that mixes serious and comedic. Maybe do an episode set in the 80's cartoon. It would be great to see Peter Cullen reprise his role as Venger.

One game I would like see get a TV series would be Five Nights at Freddy's, as I could see someone do a series of stories set in that world and still aim it for both kids and young adults.

 

[SwordBreaker39]

There hasn't been a good anime since Death Note in 2007. The last time I had this conversation the other person was like "What about Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia"

Anime is a genre these days, it caters to one demographic, it doesn't do anything new, or make you think in any new ways. It's a very autistic medium, and I don't mean that in an offensive way, but it's become so embedded in tradition and motiff that it's completely lost anything original running through it. My favourite animes are stuff like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, masterpieces, intellectually, and philosophically stimulating works of art with original amazing visuals, acting, characters, story.

But these days anime is literally just recycled shonen from 20 years ago and the only time it gets "adult" is when it's erotic. It's like it's either stupid kids stuff, or porn, and the worrying stuff is when both are crossed together.

well I notice allot of people on MAL say the same thing which makes me wonder why do they continue to even watch anime. *Shrug* Every one likes diffrent things so if they wanna keep watching anime and still keep saying anything past 2000 is bad well that´s their hobby.

You maybe be right but I seen allot of shows today I love and I would not call attack on titan or my hero any good I hate both of them nor do I like Re:zero or Demon slayers or such. Nah the shows I watch and like are WORSE than does.

But honestly im known for king of shit anime on MAL so what do I know. The only thing I know is there has not been a good space opera sense 80-90s.

 

[miguk]

Yeah both DnD movies are good the new one is rely good and Chirs pine was a solid pick.
But also the first DnD movie is a gold classic and equally as funny.

It´s like the ones who made both the movies have played DnD and now how silly a dnd campaign can get.

This had me Dying of laughter.

The DnD:HAT movie was good (possibly the best DnD adaptation), but it deserved to fail. Wizards of the Coast are morons who deserve to lose money. Nobody who hires Pinkertons (especially for something as minor as a small leak) should ever be allowed to have success. You send terrorists (and ones so notorious their crimes are detailed in standard American history textbooks) after your own fans, you should be treated like terrorists.

Gex

Aside from the Disney scene (this didn't fit the standard of their shows), that was disturbingly accurate. Complete with the cringeworthy humor, both in terms of extremely dated references and being unaware of what's okay to say in a kid's cartoon (or anything, for that matter). I don't know whether to applaud the accuracy or just be uncomfortable. Either way, I hope Gex stays in his own time period.

There's no care put into them unless you got the parent company breathing down their necks, like with the more recent Super Mario movie.

Kiryu on his knees asking Sohei to "be his Dragon of Dojima" pissed me off so bad, like how do you mess that plot point up so horribly.

I'm gonna add to this and say some of the ones I've liked are Twisted Metal, the Sonic movies, Fallout, and the Postal Movie (the only movie by Uwe Boll that understood the source material.)

 

[Yukyon]

Overwatch, sadly looks like that is never happening

 

[miguk]

So I'm not sure a TV show is the best for this, but I would love to see a movie of Strider. I don't want it to be a TV show because it needs a high SFX budget to get across the crazy bombast of the games, as well as the world-spanning locations.

And seeing a cyberpunk USSR too.

Sadly Ninjas are kinda out of fashion.
