Comment on The First Borderlands Movie Clip Looks Like An SNL Skit

I just don’t understand why this is even being made. Borderlands is definitely nowhere on my list of games I want adapted. I understand I am not the arbiter of what gets made into movies, but it definitely feels like a shared sentiment among the general gaming population lol just feels like a bizarre choice

Yeah no one has been excited for it in years. It peaked a long time ago. Pre-sequel was a disaster, 3 landed with a mediocre thud, tales has a following but it’s modest. This is not going to go well.

You could easily exploit borderlands- but live action? Its like a live action Kerby.

That would be an awesome horror flick.

It’s being made because there is a successful franchise to be exploited to death for the sake of earning a few more pennies for shareholders.

I get that normally but my point is…can borderlands still be considered a successful franchise?

The first Tales was well received, but it was made by Telltale and much closer to the Borderlands 2 era. Gearbox made another one recently that was terrible and panned.
I think you’re right in saying the franchise is just dead. As someone who played actually thousands of hours of BL2 in my youth, I have zero interest in the rumored Borderlands 4. I think I own all the DLC for 3 and just never bothered to play through all of it.
