I know people want a silly little Kirby movie, but i think he should be little animated shorts before any Nintendo movie. Simple things like 'Kirby bakes a cake' or 'Kirby gets a stomach bug'.
Absolutely! I think Kirby's better suited to a series than anything. Maybe a few specials that are more story focused. My one condition is that Kirby themself cannot talk. Only Hiiii! and Poyo.
Silly Kirby movie,wholesome vibes then we get near the ending and it goes batshit horrifying before returning to normal and everyone just ignores the terror of what just happened
I agree Guardians 3 was amazing because it was director driven and it was one of the best cape film in a while. This makes me excited for James Gunn Superman film he proven he can make a heartfelt story and make it feel fresh.
@@neoPeakeguardians had a ton of cliches, but the movie had a lot of heart and had something to say and was well written. What I think is that the days where you can make a generic superhero movie, you gotta do something to really stand out. Like shazam2, blue Beatle, and the marvels were not bad films, but they were a little on the generic side. Though I also think a lot of COVID restrictions and Disney really uping the amount of superhero stuff hurt movies this year.
@@darkmyroAnd the writers and actors strike didn’t help either, because apparently studios would rather fall apart than give their writers and actors fair pay.
personally when I use the term 'superhero fatigue' it's because I'm fed up of the boiler plate super hero film or set up of teasing multiple movies in hopes of a bigger film in the future. It's a generalisation for sure and I don't think I'd be opposed to seeing the new Superman for example if it looked good. But generally yeah I am fatigued by super hero films lol.@@craigharvey-gurr337
Another style of video game adaptation that's been pretty successful is something like Arcane and Cyberpunk Edgerunners which don't adapt the game itself so much as the setting, themes, and characters. Although I don't really see them taking an approach like this with the Zelda movie as that's a series that is so much more focused on Link going on an adventure in a magical land than anything else. Structurally, they would probably want to do something like Kubo and the Two Strings (something animated, go figure).
probably not going to do that. i mean just look at the tf2 adult swim cartoon. we where suppose to get it but valve was lazy. and so we will never see it be. but im hopping that valve isnt going to be lazy this time
Seeing Wes Ball is working on the Zelda movie actually gives me a little hope because he's really proven himself with his mocap work. I could totally see a "live action" Zelda be entirely mocap like Planet of the Apes and Avatar. If they can use mocap to turn Benedict Cumberbatch into a giant dragon, I'm sure they could take people who look nothing like Zelda characters and make them fit the role perfectly
The director literally tweeted like 10 years ago that A) his dream was to work on a Zelda movie, and B) the next Planet of the Apes/Avatar style mo-cap movie should be Zelda. So I think he may want to move in that direction already.
I'm just happy I can have both my comic book movies and my video game video game movies. I love both of these things. And while I have not played or read everything comic or game I love how these things are reaching a more broader audience
I’m glad that people have a lot more hope for video game adaptations and I’m also glad I’m a part of that crowd. It’s pretty clear at this point that the reason video game movies have finally become good is because unlike ones of the past, the obvious best example being the 1993 Mario movie where I’m convinced the crew hated Mario, the people making these actually care about these games like Paramount’s Sonic team and Illumination’s Mario team (though from what I’ve heard and seen, that cannot be said for Halo), and I think that’s what’s given people hope for this, me included though honestly I’m not sure how many video game adaptations I’m gonna see cause surprisingly with the amount of video games I play, the only two video game franchises I’m a fan of are Mario and Sonic. Everything else is either a movie tie-in like Pixar’s Cars which is the first video game I remember playing, or superhero games like Spider-Man 2 which has taken over my life, but I’ve been a Mario fan for nearly my whole life and, as of this month, I’ve been a Sonic fan for 7 years so those movies were ones I was inevitably going to watch and absolutely loved them because of how much they meant to me and how I had so much fun with them and it’s made me so excited for Sonic 3 and the inevitable Mario sequel, I have seen a few other ones like how I saw Angry Birds at a drive-in with my family but that was just because we went there for Captain America: Civil War and yeah, Angry Birds wasn’t terrible but still not good, my family watched Uncharted for a movie night from my brother’s request since he has played those and I actually enjoyed it enough, it wasn’t great but I had a good time with it, which is also mostly the same with FNAF though the jump scares got me everytime cause I don’t handle stuff like that well (I mean, that’s not the only one, Man-Bat in Arkham Knight still gets me as well). I got no clue what other ones I’ll see since again, Mario and Sonic are the only ones I care about, but maybe I’ll go see ones like Legend of Zelda when that comes out (might have to play at least one game before I do like BotW), but either way, I’m happy video game movies have finally reached their good times
The Sonic Movies are massive hits. That said, I wouldn’t quantify them as good SONIC movies, there’s a lot of fundamentals that are missing that makes Sonic work narratively like Sonic’s sense of freedom, the inherent Eastern/Anime storytelling, the lack of accuracy to the source material or the lack of an iconic soundtrack which Sonic is known for its music. These are good kids movies with a Sonic coat of paint but they’re not written, visually or sonically like Sonic. It’s like if you took Batman but then put him in the same tone as Deadpool while being written like Steven Universe. I’m not expecting one to one adaptations of the games’ stories but I wish they kept a lot of the iconic fundamentals that made Sonic so beloved to start with. A stylistic world, a cast of cool and heartwarming teenage characters with a narrative inspired by anime (Hence the famed Sonic to Anime Pipeline), an iconic soundtrack with elements of beautiful and atmospheric orchestras fused with rock epics, I want a lot more action that really showcases Sonic’s speed and thrill. With the current movies, everything related to the games is surface level meanwhile there’s too much of an emphasis on pop culture references, toliet humor and the human side characters. Sonic isn’t the cool, badass leaderlike Shonen protagonist most people love him for, instead making him a hyperactive child with abandonment issues that’s bordering the line between Ben 10 and Steven Universe. Eggman isn’t nearly as sinister and threatening as he should be. They reverted Knuckles back into a joke. Tails is the only character I think is portrayed faithfully while being new. I’m scared for Movie 3 since it’s supposed to be an adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2, one of the most iconic, darkest and action packed stories in the franchise. With a character as tragic and heavy as Shadow, they cannot afford to downplay it all for the sake of comedy, casuals and kids. And two vital and the most prominent female characters, Amy and Rouge, aren’t even in the movie universe yet. I fear what could be done because I feel like they would be the type to make a joke out of Shadow being grim and brooding and make that a running gag which will only perpetuate the Shadow is a Vegeta clone/Edgy Sonic stigma we’ve had since 2011. Maybe I’m just being hysterical as a long time fan but with the direction the movies have taken, there’s a lot that concerns me for what is one of the biggest branches of the franchise.
I, for one, would absolutely LOVE a doom movie that has a decent budget (Annihilation :c) and actually respects the source material (Doom 2005 >:c). Many people might say that Doom as a concept is unfilmable but I don’t think it’s true since the modern games have given us plenty of lore that is interesting enough to be turned into a movie. Plus, the Doom Slayer himself is quite similar to John Wick in terms of motives and their reputation as a terrifying monster in the criminal/demon landscape, so there’s that.
Honestly, I'm wondering if historical biopics might be a big thing. There's video game movies too, but with the success of Oppenheimer and, up next, Ridley Scott's Napoleon film, studios might catch on. Plus, it's not like these biopics need to be interconnected or anything, so there's that. Just a thought I had.
5:59 I'm pretty sure there may or may not be two sequels in the works, in that case I'd love to see where they take the series... even if the FNAF movie was just riding off nostalgia from the first game/FNAF's massive fandom. I do like how they incorporated several aspects from all the games and even the books and fit it into an easy-to-follow movie for millions of people to watch, especially with the springlock failure, probably one of the most iconic sequences in the franchise. For a while one thing I think would make a good TV adapation is the Deus Ex series, and on a seperate note I'd like to see a Transformers movie exploring the Dinobots in a similar way the Fall of Cybertron game did.
@@kendi5391 I only liked the movie because it was just a fun time in general, it helps to take you out of the constant depression of people saying movies are a failing industry. The movie wasn't great, but I'll admit it had it's strengths. I'd personally give it a 6.8 or something, it's just a safe movie which is a fun watch, especially if you were Fnaf fan since the beginning.
If I could adapt any video game into a movie I’d make an animated Celeste movie. Celeste has one of my favorite stories in all of gaming and seeing it as a film would be magical
I feel like a movie that’s completely on the edge of being impossible/heavily in need of an incredible animation/vfx team would be Ace Combat I mean think about it, you need to design every Plane to a T and be accurate to the best of their abilities even with some creative liberties being Very needed
Some that I would love to see are a Movie Adaptation of Metroid, an Animated Anthology Series of Destiny (drawing on pre-game lore), and a Deadpool style TF2 movie
I don't think superhero films will go away or at least I hope not. Especially with the new DCU around the corner. But I do think audiences are bored not of "superhero movies" they just want something new I can guarantee marvel and DC aren't going anywhere BUT video game movies WILL be a big thing and will probably compete with superhero films And hey Competition is a good thing it makes both sides better Have marvel pick up the slack and force DC to be.. good And as a marvel and DC and video game fan I see this as an absolute win
Since Last of Us was a success and if people are adapting games into live action there is one game that I WANT someone to adapt into a TV show like the Last of Us that you can definately give the feels of playing it and bring something new. That being Dragon Age Origins.
Idk why we need to make this a competition why can’t we just have both video games and super hero movies together simultaneously and if ether one dose poorly it shouldn’t be the end of ether
I also feared the Tom Holland Link but just now you mentioned the twink energy and uh... Tom Holland's Umbrella performance actually sells me on it more. They're both Twunks. It fits, oh god
Two video game movies/TV shows I've had for a long time are a Punch-Out movie in the style of the Rocky/Creed movies and a Manhunt TV show in the style of those serial killer shows.
You already kinda mentioned it, but there are certain franchises that could be really easy or really hard to do because they were already so heavily based on certain movies/directors. Like, Metroid was heavily inspired by Alien, it could easily be turned into an Alien rip-off if they aren’t careful.
This is something I've been theorizing since my hype for the Mario Movie started. I pasted a comment I posted in a Discord about a year ago in December of last year. "I have a theory about video game movies and the future of them. For the longest time, video game movies have been seen as box office jokes. There was never a reason to make them. Kinda like how up until Superman directed by Richard Donner, comic book movies weren't seen as profitable. However, in recent years, video game movies have exploded in quality. Here's my theory: video game movies are the new superhero films. Look at the current state of superhero films. The MCU is starting to fall apart because of a lack of vision. The DCEU is split among fans and is just in shambles. Even the one DC film that was released as a standalone movie was very divisive. But video game movies... With films like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Detective Pikachu, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and even Uncharted, video game films are... more profitable than ever. Sonic beat out a comic book movie TWICE. The first time with the first film and the second time with the second film. Nobody can tell me that's not a sign of things to come." So... yeah. I do think Video game films are replacing superhero films.
I hope the Zelda movie taps into its roots and acts as an 80s Dark Fantasy throwback. As much as I want an Ocarina of Time adaptation, I think the best route would be adapting the first NES game
A animated Little Nightmare would be a good movie, the games are super good and this movie could attract more people to the franchise. (P. S. There shouldn't be any dialogue in my personal opinion)
Excellent video. I do feel there is potential for video games, it just depends on how they adapt the story and direction they take. I don't believe the whole Superhero fatigue thing, I ss it as ridiculous, but lets see more video game films.
I’d personally prefer the route of making a Metroid animated series, along the lines of the Castlevania anime or League of Legends: Arcane. Honestly, I feel like animated adaptations of video games should be much more prevalent/popular in general.
@@KirboYT Probably play it more like classic Doctor Who where every season is made up of 3-5 "serials" which are basically 4-6 episode arcs with large and fleshed out stories.
HEY, massive fnaf fan here and ive been following the movies development for a while and although its believed that the script for the Banana Splits Movie was a rejected fnaf script Willy's Wonderlands director has gone on record to say that he wrote the script for the movie and it was not based on fnaf. Although I find it hard to believe that it wasnt partially inspired by fnaf there is no real evidence to support the idea that it was a rejected fnaf script. I'm not trying to give you to much crap, its a very easy mistake to make but yeah just clearing the record on that part of the video.
i HIGHLY HIGHLYYY recommend takashi miike’s (audition director) adaptation of the first yakuza game!!! its very faithful to the source material and still embraces the video gameness of it all. its a shame its kind of forgotten in video game adaptation discussions its so unserious…also hot take the first few resident evil movies were pretty good
See, i see two things happening here: What I hope will happen, and what will almost certainly actually happen. What I hope will happen is that you're right. That all these video game adaptations become unique tonally and interesting and different genres all reflecting their source material. But what will almost certainly actually happen is much less interesting. To explain, think of superhero movies. On the surface, superhero movies sound like they should be so varied. The Hulk should get a horror movie about a man grappling with his own literal inner demons. Thor gets a hopeful and grandiose movie about magic and monsters, the 9 realms, and a brother whom he loves who will stop at nothing to destroy him utterly. The guardians of the galaxy should get... well, they should get exactly what they got, and same with the joker. But movies like GOTG and Joker are the exceptions, not the rule. In nearly all cases, superhero movies didn't expand out and become unique, with different heroes becoming unique takes on different genres. Shang Chi is ALMOST a martial arts movie with a superhero protagonist. Eternals is ALMOST a cosmic revelatory movie about the philosophy of existence, free will, and the meaning of life. Avengers: Endgame is ALMOST a fun time heist. Secret Invasion COULD have been a paranoia thriller about trusting nobody (but failed utterly). These are not trying to be genre films with superheroes. The superhero film became its own genre, with its own tropes and conventions. As much as I love a lot of modern marvel properties (i hope the previous paragraph didn't mislead you, I loved eternals, shang chi and endgame), they'll never hit as hard as the comics do because the comics prioritize what will fit the story best over what will feel the most like a traditional marvel property. Writers like Al Ewing and Jonathan Hickman who aren't afraid to push boundaries, overturn status quos, and lean into the genre that will best fit a hero instead of a generic superhero genre could never get hired to write movies because that's precisely what the movies can never do. So here's what will actually happen with video game films. We'll have a few great ones, in this mini golden age. We'll still get some bad ones, our Fant4stics and Iron Man 2's and the like. But for a while, things will be good. Then studios will start meddling. They'll work to blend all these movies together into a tonally consistent sludge. We will lose video game movies to the video game "genre," which will have its own tropes that will be applied across all films no matter what would suit that story best. And they'll still be good movies, and we'll still have passionate directors come along to do great things, and there will be a lot of great animated stuff even once that starts to happen, but for the most part it'll all blend together and in 15 years we'll be talking about video game fatigue
For games I want adapted into media, I want Robert Rodriguez on a No More Heroes series (exec. produced by Suda51, I think he and Rodriguez make a good team with their style) or a Star Fox movie styled after the SNES-era promo art (inspired by Supermarionation media like Thunderbirds)!
Funny you mention that, because in a deleted scene mike was supposed to find a box of cassetes that talked about the dead kids, but it and alot of other scenes were cur due to time
I hope the Zelda movie isn't just BOTW and is either Ocarina of Time with its sequel being Majoras mask or its own original story. Link speaking in sign language is a hilarious idea though.
Link speaking in ASL would be such a unique adaptation choice justifying the "silent" protagonist! And yes, Hunter Schaefer IS Zelda. There's some solid puzzle pieces there,so i'm cautiously optimistic for how LoZ turns out (I went into mario expecting to hate it and i ended up having a great time)
9:13 or a mute actor. Personally I think Link, the character is mute but not deaf, everyone can talk to Link, Link answers many yes or no questions, in game Link usually waves his arms when giving longer answers which could be short hand for sign language, and there's a maze in Ocarina of Time where you follow music.
If they are planning to make more video game movies, i think that making them animated movies would be a lot interesting than live action. But thats just my opinion. A movie of Dishonored or Titanfall will be awesome (either live action or animated), if its made well. I think both fans and people who've never played them can enjoy it. Another random idea: The reverse of this should be a thing. Bring on a John Wick game, or a Mission Impossible game (done in the same style as Metal Gear Solid).
Forza movie! But have HotWheels and LEGO play decently big roles in the film… A cross between real life cars, crazy souped-up cars, life size HotWheels cars and life size LEGO cars! And have the writers and directors of Gravity Falls, LEGO Movie, and Spider-Verse, and all the modern greats work on it!
Hey Troy, if they made a movie about ur life, which actor should play u? Personally, I think Tom Holland should play u. U guys look and sound identical
Superhero fatigue definitely is a notable issue, but yeah it can get pretty reactionary a lot of the time. Especially that variety article. There's also other BS in there like blade being women led, and them bringing Tony stark back to life.
Superhero fatigue is a term I’ve never fancied as it insinuates that you can’t tell amazing stories about them you absolutely can we just get a lot of bad movies with superhero’s in them because they’re easy to market as cash cows for an eternity, movies like Logan, the Batman, the dark knight trilogy the first 2 spider man movies and Infinity war all amazing films not just amazing superhero movies
I’m a new Metroid fan (only played dread but it’s one of my favorite games) but a Metroid movie is by far the Nintendo movie I want the most. If they captured the horror/isolation elements along with the cool power progression and going from cool to awesomely powerful that would be super cool. Metroid is the only Nintendo movie I can see live action being live action without being weird.
hey, if you dont mind me asking, why are most of you fanboy rewatches videos unlisted? does that mean that that sort of thing is over now? cause i recently found your videos on the batman (2004), and im honestly kinda hungry for more the batman (2004) content. btw, great video!
Just cause has always seemed like a decent choice to me. Don’t really know how they could mess that up lmao, I think resident evil could definitely have a good movie if they got the proper team for it. Hell even resident evils cousin Dead Rising could make for a good movie lol
To your point, I think the Last of Us television show works because it slightly tweaks ideas presented in the game until its a unique project. I think that's the biggest key to successful on-screen adaptations
Video Game Adaptation. Sony Produced. If Tom Holland isn't cast I'd be shocked. I really hope he isn't though, I agree with your point about the deaf casting potential, it'd be great representation and would make sense.
I want Star Wars video game movies more than anything. Kotor is the easily 3 films and would be fucking cool as shit and republic commando would be a really good show like andor, also something around force unleashed (even though it’s not my favourite game) would probably be pretty good.
4:40 IP man, it calms producers that's how Lunatics Unleashed and the Looney Tunes Show were made. Original ideas could used new characters but they inserted the Looney Tunes to make the company happy.
For video game movies I’d like to see another crack at Uncharted hopefully with Nathan Fillion as the lead. I’d also like to see Red Dead Redemption as a series. They could do Red Dead 2 and Red Dead 1 in chronological order as well as an epilogue featuring Jack after he (spoiler) kills Ross. I don’t have much other ideas so yeah.
Earthbound as small, 1 season animated series that follows the plot of the game and doesn't shy away too much from the darker topics, and lets the main cast be fleshed out a bit more, build up the bond between them Also let Jeff kiss his boyfriend.
Also, on the topic of a metroid movie? I honestly don't think it would work. But you know what would be cool? A short film that starts off as a horror film heavily inspired by Alien, and then it shifts completely once Samus arrives, because now it's about how much of an absolute badass she is. Just go off on the space pirates or whatever, maybe have a fight with Ridley at the end.
There's no reason a Zelda movie shouldn't be live-action in a world that has both Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Live-action just fits epic fantasy adventures. Of course, I hope that's actually what we get with the Zelda movie instead of something that tries to capture the somber, explorative vibe of BotW and TotK.

I, for one, would absolutely LOVE a doom movie that has a decent budget (Annihilation :c) and actually respects the source material (Doom 2005 >:c). Many people might say that Doom as a concept is unfilmable but I don’t think it’s true since the modern games have given us plenty of lore that is interesting enough to be turned into a movie.
Plus, the Doom Slayer himself is quite similar to John Wick in terms of motives and their reputation as a terrifying monster in the criminal/demon landscape, so there’s that.
I need a Mega Man movie by Travis Knight. Bumblebee 100% convinced me he could absolutely nail it.
Honestly, I'm wondering if historical biopics might be a big thing. There's video game movies too, but with the success of Oppenheimer and, up next, Ridley Scott's Napoleon film, studios might catch on. Plus, it's not like these biopics need to be interconnected or anything, so there's that. Just a thought I had.
Honestly I’d love to see an infoumous movie and an accurate Uncharted movie cus man I enjoyed both of them
I want a Metal Gear SERIES bad. You keep listing off movies, but I want most of these to be shows tbh. Metroid is also an extremely close second.
S1: snake eater
S2: PW
S3: Phantom Pain
S4: Metal Gear 1/2
S5: MGS
S6: MGS2
S7: MGS4
5:59 I'm pretty sure there may or may not be two sequels in the works, in that case I'd love to see where they take the series... even if the FNAF movie was just riding off nostalgia from the first game/FNAF's massive fandom.
I do like how they incorporated several aspects from all the games and even the books and fit it into an easy-to-follow movie for millions of people to watch, especially with the springlock failure, probably one of the most iconic sequences in the franchise.
For a while one thing I think would make a good TV adapation is the Deus Ex series, and on a seperate note I'd like to see a Transformers movie exploring the Dinobots in a similar way the Fall of Cybertron game did.
I was a bit dissapointed with the springlock, I wanted to see something much more brutal. But I'd still give movie 8.7/10
BALLER!
@@therealdatenshi Yes, I am indeed balling
@@kendi5391 I only liked the movie because it was just a fun time in general, it helps to take you out of the constant depression of people saying movies are a failing industry.
The movie wasn't great, but I'll admit it had it's strengths. I'd personally give it a 6.8 or something, it's just a safe movie which is a fun watch, especially if you were Fnaf fan since the beginning.
@@Slasher120 Couldn't say it better myself
Love to see Spyro the Dragon animated movie, and an stop-motion animated Concrete Genie movie.
Ok but i actually want that Ace Attorney court room drama now
There is actually a Japanese Ace Attorney movie, apparently it's pretty good.
@@hiddensquid7048 yeah I'm pretty sure I've heard of it. Only problem is that I don't understand Japanese and don't really like reading subtitles.
One day Chris Stuckman will get to make his Metroid movie, we just gotta have patience
An InFamous movie would be great
Disney doesn’t have the balls to do a live action Kingdom Hearts movie
Better yet a kingdom hearts animated movie
@@Home2me Fr! That movie would be perfect for Disney's 100th anniversary instead of Wish.
I think a fully first person portal game could be awsome
We already have two of those
@@Mars-bh9sb i mean movie
@@joshieboy9727 oh okay sry
If I could adapt any video game into a movie I’d make an animated Celeste movie. Celeste has one of my favorite stories in all of gaming and seeing it as a film would be magical
I feel like a movie that’s completely on the edge of being impossible/heavily in need of an incredible animation/vfx team would be Ace Combat
I mean think about it, you need to design every Plane to a T and be accurate to the best of their abilities even with some creative liberties being Very needed
Some that I would love to see are a Movie Adaptation of Metroid, an Animated Anthology Series of Destiny (drawing on pre-game lore), and a Deadpool style TF2 movie
I think Eric Voss from New Rockstars said it perfectly. It isn't superhero fatigue. It's franchise fatigue.
I don't think superhero films will go away or at least I hope not. Especially with the new DCU around the corner.
But I do think audiences are bored not of "superhero movies" they just want something new
I can guarantee marvel and DC aren't going anywhere BUT video game movies WILL be a big thing and will probably compete with superhero films
And hey
Competition is a good thing it makes both sides better
Have marvel pick up the slack and force DC to be.. good
And as a marvel and DC and video game fan
I see this as an absolute win
Adored the Sonic movies , FNAF & Mario I think they’re rising up in the public eye these days and they absolutely have a place in the box office
I want The Banshees of Inisherin but with Animal Crossing characters
Since Last of Us was a success and if people are adapting games into live action there is one game that I WANT someone to adapt into a TV show like the Last of Us that you can definately give the feels of playing it and bring something new. That being Dragon Age Origins.
Idk why we need to make this a competition why can’t we just have both video games and super hero movies together simultaneously and if ether one dose poorly it shouldn’t be the end of ether
I also feared the Tom Holland Link but just now you mentioned the twink energy and uh... Tom Holland's Umbrella performance actually sells me on it more. They're both Twunks. It fits, oh god
0:54 haunted by the ghosts of MatPat and Markiplier huh? Been there brother.
I just want to see live-action adaptations of licensed video games.
We all know a Spider-Man 2 game review is coming soon 🙂
Two video game movies/TV shows I've had for a long time are a Punch-Out movie in the style of the Rocky/Creed movies and a Manhunt TV show in the style of those serial killer shows.
You already kinda mentioned it, but there are certain franchises that could be really easy or really hard to do because they were already so heavily based on certain movies/directors. Like, Metroid was heavily inspired by Alien, it could easily be turned into an Alien rip-off if they aren’t careful.
This is something I've been theorizing since my hype for the Mario Movie started. I pasted a comment I posted in a Discord about a year ago in December of last year.
"I have a theory about video game movies and the future of them. For the longest time, video game movies have been seen as box office jokes. There was never a reason to make them. Kinda like how up until Superman directed by Richard Donner, comic book movies weren't seen as profitable. However, in recent years, video game movies have exploded in quality. Here's my theory: video game movies are the new superhero films. Look at the current state of superhero films.
The MCU is starting to fall apart because of a lack of vision.
The DCEU is split among fans and is just in shambles. Even the one DC film that was released as a standalone movie was very divisive.
But video game movies... With films like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Detective Pikachu, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and even Uncharted, video game films are... more profitable than ever. Sonic beat out a comic book movie TWICE. The first time with the first film and the second time with the second film. Nobody can tell me that's not a sign of things to come."
So... yeah. I do think Video game films are replacing superhero films.
marvel dc hollywood movies>>>>garbage hollywood video games and Animation Video game. movies.
i love the sonic movies man i love em so much
I hope the Zelda movie taps into its roots and acts as an 80s Dark Fantasy throwback. As much as I want an Ocarina of Time adaptation, I think the best route would be adapting the first NES game
A animated Little Nightmare would be a good movie, the games are super good and this movie could attract more people to the franchise.
(P. S. There shouldn't be any dialogue in my personal opinion)
Personally, I would want a little nightmares movie to be stop motion.
@@teenagetails1763 Me too
Excellent video. I do feel there is potential for video games, it just depends on how they adapt the story and direction they take. I don't believe the whole Superhero fatigue thing, I ss it as ridiculous, but lets see more video game films.
I have true brainrot. I heard "Speed Racer" and I audibly gasped with joy
I was just thinking of it yesterday: A Metroid movie in live action made by Legendary Pictures starring Brie Larson, it all just makes sense
I’d personally prefer the route of making a Metroid animated series, along the lines of the Castlevania anime or League of Legends: Arcane. Honestly, I feel like animated adaptations of video games should be much more prevalent/popular in general.
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 I can see it, each episode is a different planet maybe?
@@KirboYT Probably play it more like classic Doctor Who where every season is made up of 3-5 "serials" which are basically 4-6 episode arcs with large and fleshed out stories.
9:46 They tried Doom twice already, and Infamous would be a Superhero movie.
marvel dc hollywood movies>>>>garbage hollywood video games and Animation Video game. movies.
HEY, massive fnaf fan here and ive been following the movies development for a while and although its believed that the script for the Banana Splits Movie was a rejected fnaf script Willy's Wonderlands director has gone on record to say that he wrote the script for the movie and it was not based on fnaf. Although I find it hard to believe that it wasnt partially inspired by fnaf there is no real evidence to support the idea that it was a rejected fnaf script. I'm not trying to give you to much crap, its a very easy mistake to make but yeah just clearing the record on that part of the video.
Oh interesting, I was told otherwise from a friend of mine. But I def should have fact checked that, my bad!
i HIGHLY HIGHLYYY recommend takashi miike’s (audition director) adaptation of the first yakuza game!!! its very faithful to the source material and still embraces the video gameness of it all. its a shame its kind of forgotten in video game adaptation discussions its so unserious…also hot take the first few resident evil movies were pretty good
5:20 kind of how Superhero movies also should be done
Comic book films have had their reign for decades, now it’s time for the video game movie boom .
I loved the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie and can’t wait for the sequel 🔥 (I saw The Marvels and really liked it btw)
Timothee Chalamet would be a kickass Link
Yeah the day after the marvels came out I found out who’s in the post credit scene.
Literally happened to me the day before lollll. Movie was still cool tho I just got back from seeing it
The thumbail really works
See, i see two things happening here: What I hope will happen, and what will almost certainly actually happen. What I hope will happen is that you're right. That all these video game adaptations become unique tonally and interesting and different genres all reflecting their source material. But what will almost certainly actually happen is much less interesting. To explain, think of superhero movies. On the surface, superhero movies sound like they should be so varied.
The Hulk should get a horror movie about a man grappling with his own literal inner demons. Thor gets a hopeful and grandiose movie about magic and monsters, the 9 realms, and a brother whom he loves who will stop at nothing to destroy him utterly. The guardians of the galaxy should get... well, they should get exactly what they got, and same with the joker. But movies like GOTG and Joker are the exceptions, not the rule.
In nearly all cases, superhero movies didn't expand out and become unique, with different heroes becoming unique takes on different genres. Shang Chi is ALMOST a martial arts movie with a superhero protagonist. Eternals is ALMOST a cosmic revelatory movie about the philosophy of existence, free will, and the meaning of life. Avengers: Endgame is ALMOST a fun time heist. Secret Invasion COULD have been a paranoia thriller about trusting nobody (but failed utterly).
These are not trying to be genre films with superheroes. The superhero film became its own genre, with its own tropes and conventions. As much as I love a lot of modern marvel properties (i hope the previous paragraph didn't mislead you, I loved eternals, shang chi and endgame), they'll never hit as hard as the comics do because the comics prioritize what will fit the story best over what will feel the most like a traditional marvel property. Writers like Al Ewing and Jonathan Hickman who aren't afraid to push boundaries, overturn status quos, and lean into the genre that will best fit a hero instead of a generic superhero genre could never get hired to write movies because that's precisely what the movies can never do.
So here's what will actually happen with video game films. We'll have a few great ones, in this mini golden age. We'll still get some bad ones, our Fant4stics and Iron Man 2's and the like. But for a while, things will be good. Then studios will start meddling. They'll work to blend all these movies together into a tonally consistent sludge. We will lose video game movies to the video game "genre," which will have its own tropes that will be applied across all films no matter what would suit that story best. And they'll still be good movies, and we'll still have passionate directors come along to do great things, and there will be a lot of great animated stuff even once that starts to happen, but for the most part it'll all blend together and in 15 years we'll be talking about video game fatigue
I'd love to see Team Fortress 2 and Red Dead Revolver get adopted to movies
Benedict Cumberbatch as Medic please
For games I want adapted into media, I want Robert Rodriguez on a No More Heroes series (exec. produced by Suda51, I think he and Rodriguez make a good team with their style) or a Star Fox movie styled after the SNES-era promo art (inspired by Supermarionation media like Thunderbirds)!
Funny you mention that, because in a deleted scene mike was supposed to find a box of cassetes that talked about the dead kids, but it and alot of other scenes were cur due to time
Da king is back baby he neva miss
If you want a F-zero movie I can highly recommend Redline, its a pure feast for the eyes.
I hope the Zelda movie isn't just BOTW and is either Ocarina of Time with its sequel being Majoras mask or its own original story. Link speaking in sign language is a hilarious idea though.
Video game movies are trash.
Whore movies , superhero movies are better than that shit

Jolted upright when I heard you say a phoenix Wright courtroom drama
Link speaking in ASL would be such a unique adaptation choice justifying the "silent" protagonist! And yes, Hunter Schaefer IS Zelda. There's some solid puzzle pieces there,so i'm cautiously optimistic for how LoZ turns out (I went into mario expecting to hate it and i ended up having a great time)
This has nothing to do with the video, but your hair is looking great!
9:13 or a mute actor.
Personally I think Link, the character is mute but not deaf, everyone can talk to Link, Link answers many yes or no questions, in game Link usually waves his arms when giving longer answers which could be short hand for sign language, and there's a maze in Ocarina of Time where you follow music.
If they are planning to make more video game movies, i think that making them animated movies would be a lot interesting than live action. But thats just my opinion.
A movie of Dishonored or Titanfall will be awesome (either live action or animated), if its made well. I think both fans and people who've never played them can enjoy it.
Another random idea: The reverse of this should be a thing. Bring on a John Wick game, or a Mission Impossible game (done in the same style as Metal Gear Solid).
Video Game Movies are 100% gonna replace Comic Book movies! We need to eat good now because in a decade we will be longing for it to end!!!
As a Fnaf fan I approve of the Fnaf joke
can't wait for fanboy prewrites fnaf 2
Forza movie!
But have HotWheels and LEGO play decently big roles in the film…
A cross between real life cars, crazy souped-up cars, life size HotWheels cars and life size LEGO cars!
And have the writers and directors of Gravity Falls, LEGO Movie, and Spider-Verse, and all the modern greats work on it!
8:16 how dare you put spider-man 3 next to Morbius, it’s a misunderstood great movie Mr boyo
Real
I would love to see fanboy rewrites video game movies especially I wanna see how you would write Sonic movie 3
Hey Troy, if they made a movie about ur life, which actor should play u? Personally, I think Tom Holland should play u. U guys look and sound identical
Superhero fatigue definitely is a notable issue, but yeah it can get pretty reactionary a lot of the time. Especially that variety article.
There's also other BS in there like blade being women led, and them bringing Tony stark back to life.
Superhero fatigue is a term I’ve never fancied as it insinuates that you can’t tell amazing stories about them you absolutely can we just get a lot of bad movies with superhero’s in them because they’re easy to market as cash cows for an eternity, movies like Logan, the Batman, the dark knight trilogy the first 2 spider man movies and Infinity war all amazing films not just amazing superhero movies
I’m a new Metroid fan (only played dread but it’s one of my favorite games) but a Metroid movie is by far the Nintendo movie I want the most. If they captured the horror/isolation elements along with the cool power progression and going from cool to awesomely powerful that would be super cool. Metroid is the only Nintendo movie I can see live action being live action without being weird.
Halo movie but the whole movie is in the perspective of master chief just like hardcore henry
They should save the Live Action for Metroid
hey, if you dont mind me asking, why are most of you fanboy rewatches videos unlisted? does that mean that that sort of thing is over now? cause i recently found your videos on the batman (2004), and im honestly kinda hungry for more the batman (2004) content. btw, great video!
I think they should let Ilya Naishuller make a first person Doom movie
Just cause has always seemed like a decent choice to me. Don’t really know how they could mess that up lmao, I think resident evil could definitely have a good movie if they got the proper team for it. Hell even resident evils cousin Dead Rising could make for a good movie lol
To your point, I think the Last of Us television show works because it slightly tweaks ideas presented in the game until its a unique project. I think that's the biggest key to successful on-screen adaptations
Capcom feels like one of the few companies that could theoretically pull off a cinematic universe with its vast catalogue.
I would love to see a Detroit become human show
They can just coexist nothing has to replace anything
WE NEED A METROID MOVIE ASAP EVEN A TV SHOW. GIVE ME A LIVE ACTION METROID MOVIE!! PLEASE COME UP WITH A MOVIE ID PAY YOU SO MUCH MOENY TO DO THAT
Video Game Adaptation. Sony Produced. If Tom Holland isn't cast I'd be shocked. I really hope he isn't though, I agree with your point about the deaf casting potential, it'd be great representation and would make sense.
Troy should do a FNAF rewrite just cuz I think that would be fun :)
Don’t tempt me I can’t unring that bell
@@troyoboyo17 it’s inevitable. You must lol. But seriously great video tho (as always)👍
Cartoon Saloon would've been the perfect fit for a Zelda movie.
I want Star Wars video game movies more than anything. Kotor is the easily 3 films and would be fucking cool as shit and republic commando would be a really good show like andor, also something around force unleashed (even though it’s not my favourite game) would probably be pretty good.
4:40 IP man, it calms producers that's how Lunatics Unleashed and the Looney Tunes Show were made. Original ideas could used new characters but they inserted the Looney Tunes to make the company happy.
An Asura’s Wrath movie or anime adaptation
For video game movies I’d like to see another crack at Uncharted hopefully with Nathan Fillion as the lead.
I’d also like to see Red Dead Redemption as a series. They could do Red Dead 2 and Red Dead 1 in chronological order as well as an epilogue featuring Jack after he
(spoiler)
kills Ross.
I don’t have much other ideas so yeah.
I really hope the Fallout TV show is good. But I would love to see tv show set in the world of The Elder Scrolls
Earthbound as small, 1 season animated series that follows the plot of the game and doesn't shy away too much from the darker topics, and lets the main cast be fleshed out a bit more, build up the bond between them
Also let Jeff kiss his boyfriend.
Also, on the topic of a metroid movie? I honestly don't think it would work. But you know what would be cool? A short film that starts off as a horror film heavily inspired by Alien, and then it shifts completely once Samus arrives, because now it's about how much of an absolute badass she is. Just go off on the space pirates or whatever, maybe have a fight with Ridley at the end.
Excellent vid with great points all around.
A funky Kong movie would sell billions ngl
There's no reason a Zelda movie shouldn't be live-action in a world that has both Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Live-action just fits epic fantasy adventures. Of course, I hope that's actually what we get with the Zelda movie instead of something that tries to capture the somber, explorative vibe of BotW and TotK.
There's already a pheonix wright movie lmao
