    Cinema is dead. Stick to what you’re good at. Well, kind of be used to be good at. Which is video games. Everybody trying to be everything. Almost as if it’s some kind of silly capitalist formula. A lot of people are still in the dream state, but not me. If I can’t own it, I don’t want it. I guess people still buy things even in an era of inshitification. It’s easy for me because I want none of these things. To be honest, it helps me focus on things that matter. The distractions aren’t even worth it anymore.

      If they did something like LOTR with serious actors, script and budget I think it could be awesome…but I think it will just be like 90s super mario movie lol sad

      We know very little about it, they clearly aren’t ready. I’d rather it keep getting delayed than release something horrible that fully kills the chances of Zelda in live action.

      ??? the Mario movie was good. I think Hollywood as a whole is doing a lot better with video game adaptations now (let’s not talk about Borderlands), like everyone expected the Minecraft movie to crash & burn but it turned out to be a fun movie for anyone who played the game a decent amount

          Hm, I was gonna agree but I do like the Sonic movies. Half live action, half CGI. Speed racer was a gem, too.

        I feel like Mario is different. They’ve put that entire cast of characters in almost everything you could think of, and the main games are goofy. Zelda unfortunately has story expectations. Lots of grown men gonna be bitchin aboutwhatever they do lol

          Maybe they could manage expectations by making it a phantom hourglass movie.

          I’d love that silly thing

          “But how does it fit into the timeline!?!?!?”

          I can’t believe people went so crazy about the timeline shenanigans that nintendo just caved and was like “sure, yeah… Why not.”

            Yeah I find it weird that Nintendo actually bothered to make a timeline for Zelda. When I was a kid, I had just accepted each game as separate works.

              It probably defeats the whole spirituality aspect about the series, but Nintendo could take a page out of Spiderverse and have each entry be it’s own universe, each with their own differences, but following the same thematic structure they have already been following.

                I feel like the title says it all. The Legend of Zelda. It’s like multiple retellings of the same story, passed down through generations, obscured by time.

                I don’t even know why it really needs an explanation. They basically tell you from the start it’s an endless loop of good vs evil.

                Every game is it’s own thing/story so there isn’t any baggage and you get to start all over again saving the world.
