  Could be good, Alex Garland is a very competent director.

  The question is, what kind of story are they looking to tell? They can’t do a full chronology and having a simple “Tarnished kills all of the bosses” type of story would be very boring.

    Jesse Plemons fully armored out “Yeah, but what kind of Tarnished are you?”

    I’ve tried watching A24 movies, but I was disappointed every time. They have great production, but the story and dialogue of those movies make me never want to watch another.

      I know people love to hate on A24, but they’ve put out good films. Some examples:

      Enemy (Villeneuve)

      Ex Machina

      Room

      The Witch

      Green Room

      The Lobster

      Good Time

      The Killing of a Sacred Deer

      Hereditary

      Eighth Grade

      Mid90s

      Midsommar

      The Lighthouse

      Uncut Gems

      Everything Everywhere All at Once

      Honestly, I was just scrolling through the list on wikipedia chronologically, and got tired and feel like I listed more than enough. That’s only up to like 2021… Check out the list yourself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_A24_films

        I’m surprised to see the dislike, I try and catch most A24 movies and am part of some groups on other sites to track and discuss them, most of the time they’re solid IMO.

        But on this community most people seem to gear heavily negative to pretty much everything that’s posted so I’m not really surprised.

        I was just being a little shit. I love a lot of the movies they produce, but they are very focused on aesthetics

      A24 movies have story? I just watch them for the haunting still life pans, dark synth, and general vibe.

        See my reply above for an incomplete list of good (and some great) A24 films

        They’re great if presented as art pieces, but marketing tries to convince me that they’re movies.

        Kinda a good fit for a FromSoft game. Lost of impressive visuals, action, and tons of clues about a story sprinkled throughout the game without actually telling a story.

    It will turn into a “war is hell” story, or go on a large tangent about whether NPC summons have (human) souls.
