I Watched The Borderlands Movie So You Don't Have To

“Harley Quinn, but as a child” yeeeee…eah. Man, I wish I could extra not go see this, just to get the point across about how man the fans are. Man, this could have been so cool.

Some of the decisions on this film are just…yeesh. I don’t understand why Hollywood just won’t let someone who actually likes the material do this shit. You cannot just be a good director to adapt something, you have to actually care about and understand the source material. That’s completely missing from video game movies 95% of the time.

I am personally convinced that Hollywood is trapped under the thumb of executives that “know better.” They force terrible decisions and limit the creative vision of everyone else involved. When it works, they think it was only themselves that made it work. When it fails, it was the directors, actors, other crew, or even the fans that were at fault. I firmly believe that was the biggest change with the mcu. Once the original chapter was over, they couldn’t stay back anymore and started taking control again. I saw the new Deadpool, and I thought it was great. I firmly believe that’s because Ryan Reynolds is a big part and makes most of the calls, because he’s a creative. When you get a creative, they have passions that help the vision form, the executives should only be tasked with finding people with a passion for the current project. While sometimes that doesn’t work, it’s almost always because the creative teams passions didn’t line up with the project.

I didn’t know they’d made a movie. Should I be sorry that I now know they did? More importantly, do I have the inner strength to resist watching a movie from my favorite video game franchise, despite the warnings?
