reading thru the notes of that post abt video game movie adaptations and wow some of you guys are really fucking stupid 😭 do you on god want an undertale movie?? the fucking POINT of undertale is it being a narrative that YOU change with YOUR choices. it's not a narrative that can WORK otherwise. sure, you could just make the movie follow the pacifist route, but it takes out the effort and meaning that goes into getting that ending. it takes out the choice that YOU MADE to spare everyone. it also completely BREEZES PAST iconic elements of the game: omega flowey, killing toriel feeling bad about it and saving her and the game knowing what you did, the neutral endings, everything to do with the genocide route, WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT

#a looooot of choices there that I do not agree with #shadow of the colossus????? you think a film maker can replicate that???? YOU THE PLAYER KILLING THE COLOSSI IS THE POINT.#HOLLOW KNIGHT? not one person experiences that game the same way bc of how non-linear it is. you don't want a hollow knight movie #not to mention that most of these games have silent protagonists for a reasonnnn because YOURE THE ONE PLAYING THE GAME #<- has unreasonably strong opinions abt video games as an art form #espeon cries #also don't quote me too heavily re shadow of the colossus I've never actually played it just watched playthroughs.#but like... isn't that the point? that these breathtaking one of a kind behemoths did nothing but you still slaughtered them one by one #all for a prize you'll never even receive? the guilt and the feeling that you're in the wrong. as an audience member your hands are clean #as a player you're the one soaked in blood.#AND AGAIN I HAVEN'T PLYED THE GAME I DONT HAVE A PLAYSTATION. but that's what I took from the game #also I think half the fun of hollow knight is in overcoming all the bosses by your own skill. watching that happen for me would be so dull #also also hollow knight is very vague with its lore. right. I don't like the idea of a movie canonising any one interpretation of that lore #I suppose that a short animated film could work. I absolutely wouldn't want a fucking blockbuster movie are you kidding me #the knight wouldn't be kept the same completely hollow print that they are in game. oh sure they're not empty - because of YOU. THE PLAYER.#<- guy who has REALLY strong opinions abt video games as an art form. shutting up now bye
