>>611 >What do people actually want out of film and TV adaptations of video games? "People", want and will eat garbage if it has the name of something they like on it. I don't really want these adaptations in the first place. It's like making a book to adapt a movie. You're going backwards in terms of mediums, taking away interactivity that's core to the experience that the story was originally made for. If I had to decide on something that's "acceptable", for an adaptation, it would be just simply a non-canon story set in the same world where characters are strongly grounded in their source material. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I think the Devil May Cry anime series of one-shot stories did this decently enough. If you're talking about live action though, that is a sin, and anyone who wants live action adaptations should burn in the pits of Hell.

I want them to not exist, personally, as there's no such thing as a good live adaption, especially not of something as usually fantastic as video games. Maybe make an animated adaption and don't fill it with arbitrary popular voice actors and it won't make me vomit in disgust. I think normalfags just want catchphrases and good graphics, though.

>but it changes significant aspects of the game's plot This is always going to happen, you can't fit a good plot into an hour and a half movie. That being said it was still about a tournament to protect earth from outworld, it was high energy and used relatively unknown actors for the roles (which video game movies should ALWAYS do). Mortal Kombat (the first one) will always be the best because the 'plot' of the game (and the characters) is so simplistic making it almost impossible to fuck up. You go in expecting cool fights and fun one liners and that's exactly what you get. Anything more complicated than 'earthlings fight warriors from other realms to keep earth from falling under their control' will ALWAYS get fucked up. Sure we might get the occasional fun movie like Resident Evil: Apocalypse that gave us Jill and S.T.A.R.S but generally if you like that movie (I do) it's because you didn't really care for RE games and don't care about the non-game add in stuff like Alice.
