The Video Game Adaptation Renaissance
Фильм және анимация
Video game adaptations have been getting a lot better as of recent, not just in quality but also in their willingness to not remove the iconic elements of the franchises they're based on. Today I'm taking a look at many of the recent adaptations and seeing how well they did their job.

The real reason why video game movies are doing better is because they have creative talents behind the scenes that cares about the video games fans know and love. For example, Sonic was redesigned cause fan backlash inspired the creative team to give the fans the encouragement to make the films the way that fans wants to watch. The Mario movie also has the potential to do even better with its incredible animation, its Easter eggs, and the voice talent cast is killing it as well ❤️.

My theory for why video game adaptations are now actually good is because games are becoming more popular than back in the 80s, 90s and 2000s, and in the 2010s and 2020s, people who actually grew up playing games now are the ones making the movies

I'd also argue Detective Pikachu deserves some recognition for its impressive CGI and fanservice, but I'm a pokemon nerd so I'm hella biased. And I see how Sonic is the more iconic start to the video game Renaissance with the successful box office and the press it garnered
It’s clear that now people who love the source material are the ones who are getting to make these adaptations rather than Hollywood executives trying to make A film out of whatever the latest trendy video game. Every recent video game adaptation not only adapts the video games faithfully but also does something interesting with that opportunity to explore more of the universe and characters.

Arcane was a great stepping stone for game TV SHOWS.
I feel like Netflix's Castlevania needs some more recognition in this conversation. It was a fantastic adaptation that gets a bit too left out in this new era of good VG adaptations.
castlevania is often overlooked but it was probably one of the first good video game adaptations

For some reason I felt Detective Pikachu was the big name game movie that shows that video game adaptations can be decent now (admittedly Sonic is the one that really cemented that notion) although I'm not sure if there are examples that are a bit earlier than that.
Regardless of it's quality which remains to be seen, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is gonna be a *huge* success at the box office that it'll top Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in a landslide and will take Nintendo and Illumination on a bright direction in the future. It makes me smile that (almost) all video game adaptations nowadays are getting the best treatments they so thoroughly deserve. Another great video as always, Cartoonshi!

I don't get the criticism of Bill's impact on Joel's character arc. In the game, Bill represents what could happen to Joel if he keeps going on the dark path of paranoia and pushing others away, meanwhile, in the show Bill represents what could happen if Joel let's himself open up to others and start to live as his best self, wich makes his choice of saving Ellie in the end more meaningful to me.
Simple, they follow the storyline, feels like a video game, characters are accurate, it’s got the feel of the certain brand, and most of all They capture what makes the video game so good
Though there is little information on it and no teasers or trailers are made yet, I hope that the Five Nights at Freddy's movie will do well. While the big (and rather confusing tbh) lore is the main appeal of many of the games, I want the movie to have a simpler story and at least be a genuine horror film. Certainly helps that Scott is at least there to give a helping hand and ensure that it doesn't stray too far.
You think it’s a coincidence around 20+ years later we’re finally getting good adaptations, y’know… when kids in the 80s playing video games became an adult. It’s almost like they grew up with the source material so they understand it more than anyone else 🤔
Bruh how could you bring up the Mario Movie's masterful marketing and not mention the fact that they paid homage to the Super Mario Brothers Super Show by cleverly recreating the show's theme song for an in-universe pluming ad for the Mario Bros's plumbing business AND getting the original voice of Princess Toadstool from said cartoon to voice the lady seen in said pluming ad? That was top tier marketing right there.
Imo, the kirby show from a while back feels a bit like a precursor of sorts to these in the way of having the people who made the property making sure things go smoothly, remaining decently faithful to the source material, and adding some new things that for the most part, are all pretty good in execution. It's not perfect, but definitely worth a watch at least once.

I've been saying that I think video game movies will be the standout genre of the 2020 decade just like how zombie movies and superhero movies were in the 2000's and 2010's.
It's going to be genuinely interesting to see how Sonic 3 goes now it has competition. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was promoted by way of a commercial about Mario and Luigi showcasing their plumbing service. What made it stand out was the fact that it used the Plumber's Rap: the theme song of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Considering how overwhelmingly positive the reaction to this was, it’s not too far-fetched that Sega and Paramount paid close attention. Bet you they're gonna utilise all the fanservice the franchise has to offer to compete with Nintendo and Illumination. They're gonna have the SatAM theme song play either in trailers or the movie itself. Robotnik will say "SnooPING as usual, I see" or "Promotion" for the sole reason that fans will be happy they requoted a line. The Nintendo-Sega war will come back with a vengeance, and it's going to the big screen.

If you want a true Mortal Kombat multimedia experience, watch the animated movies. Specifically Scorpion's Revenge and Snowblind. The second animated one is genuine vomit, but the first one has a lot of gore, and a somewhat compelling emotional through line through the fighting game icon, Scorpion. Snowblind is both nothing like the Mortal Kombat games, but everything I ever wanted at the same time. The movie takes just enough lore from the games like Kenshi's backstory to show that the writers cared, but also so drastically different from the games and manipulating the lore so frequently that it feels like a fresh and new experience. Definitely check those out.
Oh god, I hope Mario turns out well.
I wish they actually made an edgerunners video game spin-off then make it into a Netflix series
Even though video game adaptions are hit-or-miss, good thing they are improving significantly because we need the right people to work on a video game movie, have a director to pay respect to the source material, or the director and filmmakers are fans of that IP. Either way, everyone is seeing a new breath of fresh air when it comes to adapting video games to television nor cinema.
This was unexpected but I needed this. I really enjoy your new style of videos. Just these quick little videos that are narrated well and enjoyable to listen to
I’m glad that people are starting to warm up to Chris Pratt as Mario. I honestly like his take on the voice. It sorta reminds me of the Super Mario Bros Super Show with Lou Albano voicing the character. And clearly if people don’t like how Pratt sounds nothing like the games, then they need to watch that show. Still the recent trailers have made his voice grow on me

16:55 In the show Bill’s note gives Joel the confirmation he needed to protect the one he loves just as Bill did with Frank. He serves the same purpose in the game and show but it’s done differently.
16:58 The way I saw someone describe Bill in the game vs in the show was: "In the game, he was a warning to Joel of what he could become if he pushed others away. In the show, he's a message of hope, that if he lets others into his life, he can find meaning and happiness again." I will admit that I haven't played the games/watched a playthrough, but my friend who played through didn't have an issue, and most online commenters understood and agreed with the above description.
With the better stuff coming out I hope the fallout show will be good
Never in a million years would I think this would ever happen
Now we just gotta see how that FNAF movie will end up.
Speaking of Mortal Kombat, there are also the animated Mortal Kombat Legends movies. The first two retell the classic story of Mortal Kombat 1-3/9, meanwhile the third movie is a what-if continuation of Mortal Kombat 11, while also faithfully retelling the origin Story of Kenshi. I think all of these 3 movies are great even if they are way to short. I prefer the subtlety in The Last of Us game over the show too.
people talking about the video game adaptation curse is so fucking funny to me when the pokemon anime exists. that bad boy is still around after 25 years and will probably outlive us all
The difference between old game adaptations and new ones is that the new ones actually try to make the movies like the games, The only old game adaptation that I like did this and that was the first Mortal Kombat which did miss the gore but that’s not important imo
This is a great list! All of these show just how well you can do when you adapt a video game in a certain format if you try to make ti faithful while still adding your own spin on it when you need to, especially with a game like Angry Birds!
I'm not quite sure how to feel about something based on League of Legends, that one game you get made fun of for playing, being actually pretty good.
Glad that video game movies are awesome now
19:44 Bruh that Telephone noise made me think you were gonna start talking about the FNAF movie
Finally! Another KZreadr recognizing that Angry Birds 2 is a good movie.
Love your channel, I also really recommend the Castlevania anime series, it was imo the first genuinely great video game adaptation, and the same team are making a dmc anime so, I’m hyped
If Video Game adaptations are increasing in quality, so can the MCU.
The moment I heard Komi Can't Communicate music, I knew this is gonna be a good video.
I think the major factor with why these video game adaptations are coming pretty decent is the fact that unlike say, 30-40 years ago, there is definitely more writers and film crew that most likely grew up with these franchises and have an understanding of the source material, instead of executives saying "screw it" and giving the reins to whoever was willing. Granted some bad adaptations have their own charm to it, hell some of them may have helped develop characters for the future like Kano in Mortal Kombat, but there is adefinite difference in passion
Goddamit cartoonshi, why must you get me hooked on new bangers every time you upload.

Seeing that video game movies are finally getting their due is truly a treat, after so many years of straight-up garbage, with occasional good things like Raul Julia's M Bison, and the first Mortal Kombat film being something of a cult classic. I'm actually a bit surprised you didn't bring up the Cuphead show since it's generally considered to be pretty good. I'm also in the odd camp that actually likes the first Angry Birds movie admittedly. And the Mario Movie is so far shaping up to be something great. If nothing else, it's pretty faithful to the games, even if I have my reservations(I genuinely feel they could have done a better job adapting Peach's game personality, but this probably isn't the time to talk about that). But, I think I'll love the film anyway as a huge Mario fan since everything else is on point, and it's clear that Illumination is giving their all for the first time in a long time. Great video mate.
I didn't even know cyberpunk was done by trigger it looks very different from the other trigger projects I have seen
Would NOW be a good time to make a film adaptation of Team Fortress 2? Preferably an animated one.
