    As much as I want this to be good, I have a strong feeling it’s gonna be mid at best. Not a great director, screenwriters aren’t hitting, they have only released two actors names, and the producer is a mixed bag. I’m really hoping they can pull it out… but I’m definitely gonna keep my expectations low.

      Of course it’s going to be mid, none of the Zelda games have anything other than a boilerplate storyline except for Majora’s mask. They’ll have to make shit up and that almost never goes well

        so, even worse than Wheel of Time stuff, then. I don’t really remember the costumes for that but I do remember they weren’t the main problem with the show, aside from being pristine. at least they weren’t low quality

        is that show even still on? I don’t think I even made it through the second season because of how goddamn clean everything was. looked fake as shit

      Legitimately, why do you hope it’s good? Why do you even care? Even if you like the games, this is not part of that. It isn’t interactive. Honestly, I don’t see why it exists, except that certain people will give them their money for any piece of garbage that has an IP they’ve attached themselves to for some reason.

        Because I want more things in my life that bring me joy? Seeing something I love from a new perspective sounds like a fun experience?

          I’m not saying to not enjoy this, or other things. I’m just saying that people mindlessly consuming any slop that has an IP attached is how we ended up in this situation. There’s a lot fewer good and interesting things made, which actually have a hope of being good, because it’s so much safer to make slop with existing IP. Even if it’s bad (it almost always is, because they’re making it purely for profit, not because they care about the IP like you do), it still prints money.

    I have been dreaming of a TLoZ movie since I was a child. However, as most video game adaptions, I expect this will be rather shitty. At least I try to. To keep the level of disappointment low.

      Casting a girl as Zelda? When will the woke mob stop gender swapping characters??

      Next thing you know, they’ll cast Margot Robbie as Metroid. Smh my head.

        I know you’re joking, but I’m not.

        No no no.

        Not her.

        Not Margot Robie.

        Her.

        Olivia Thrilby.

        It’s only fitting for her to get a movie where she’s the one behind a helmet this time.

        Tell me she would not be a perfect fit as Samus.

        You can’t.

            DREDD (2012)

            The more modern Judge Dredd movie.

            Mainly features Karl Urban’s chin, as Judge Dredd.

            He never takes off the helmet. Before Hollywood had even discovered Pedro Pascal / Mando.

            Its essentially a near perfect action movie.

            Not really meaningful commentary on society, arguably is copaganda…

            … but it is a very competent ‘dumb’ action movie, punctuated with extreme violence and one-liner quips, actually does have decent characters and even some character development!

    I’m expecting a mediocre movie that’s an enjoyable watch, but ultimately forgettable. Same as the Mario movies.

    I’m expecting Zelda will play just as large of a role in the film as Link.

      Same as the Mario movies.

      I assume you’re not including SMB93 in this, because NO ONE can forget that masterpiece.

    Should’ve just hired studio ghibli to animate a beautiful and poignant anime adaptation. Might be okay. Likely gonna be garbage.

    The Netflix one pice gives me hope but also that in itself is pretty cringy campy nonsense at the end of the day (but incredibly well done).

    Just waiting for the line delivered in a fake English accent more or less to the tune of “you’re a legend… Zelda!”
