Give it to him, promise him it'll be true to the source material, make a decent series, then a naff one, then betray all the source material and replace him with Liam Hemsworth.So I am scrolling through Twitter and see a post by Dave Bautista thinking it was an announcement for the Gears of War film or series because he has a working relationship with them only to realize a few days later that he is cosplaying to get the job. Would he make a good Marcus Fenix?Originally Posted by MarvzMitts

I see what you did there...Give it to him, promise him it'll be true to the source material, make a decent series, then a naff one, then betray all the source material and replace him with Liam Hemsworth.Originally Posted by C64 Mat

Yeah, we got that didn't we. A waste of a talent and a franchise.Give it to him, promise him it'll be true to the source material, make a decent series, then a naff one, then betray all the source material and replace him with Liam Hemsworth.Originally Posted by C64 Mat

At worst we will get a cool animated movie/series and the live action will be terrible. I watched the Cyberpunk2077 series they had and it pretty entertaining. As was the Arcane/League of Legends series.I would love to see a fairly faithful adaptation of the Gears of War franchise and I could easily see Dave Bautista as Marcus Fenix. With that said, after seeing so many franchises get butchered lately, they'd probably fill it with romantic sub plots and change the designs for the Locust, etc.Originally Posted by HyruleBalverine

It is my belief that the rise of streaming services have green lit so many projects with people that are not qualified to be executives, actors, directors, writers, or show runners just for the sake of having content for said services. Many of these people are not good at their jobs, they are training on the job, and that doesn't make undeniably good movies or shows.Gotta love that optimismOriginally Posted by C64 Mat
Sorry, I know I cherry picked that quote but it was too funny not to. Also, unrelated to this quote, I disagree with the above - The Rock would be an awful fit for Gears!

I would wholeheartedly agree. Some of the writing has been absolutely awful, and characters have been well and truly ruined. Look at the train-wreck that is She-Hulk. Goddamn atrocious.It is my belief that the rise of streaming services have green lit so many projects with people that are not qualified to be executives, actors, directors, writers, or show runners just for the sake of having content for said services.

You would think that more would be good, but all that these streaming services have accomplished is that they stretched the talent pool beyond the breaking point. So we get an awful Witcher show that should be canceled, instead of hiring a Henry replacement.
Look how bad that Resident Evil show was. That show runner had a multi season road map all planned out for like 10 years. One and done, canceled.
The Paramount Halo show, just awful.

I was super eager to watch The Wheel of Time on Amazon as I'd started reading the series in the mid 1990s and really enjoyed the books. I was not happy with the show. It had some entertainment value, but there were so many random changes that didn't seem to make sense... at least not until I started reading online discussions about it and the showrunner and learned that some of the changes he made were just to mess with the on-set book/series expert, and others that he made (or wanted to make) were just because. There is a character who interacts with wolves (I'll call it the series's "version" of a "werewolf", though not actually a werewolf) and for whatever reason the guy wanted to change it to bears (which I don't recall being in the books at all lol).It is my belief that the rise of streaming services have green lit so many projects with people that are not qualified to be executives, actors, directors, writers, or show runners just for the sake of having content for said services.

Are we sure that the people behind that don’t have some scheme where they wrapped Tolkien’s body in copper wire so they could generate electricity from all the spinning in his grave he did because of Rings of Power?Don't even get me started on what Amazon did in making Rings of Power.Originally Posted by Dvader83

Same things were said when cable was introduced. And, it was true on some levels, and then the quality of content caught up. Streaming content quality is increasing at a faster pace than cable content did.It is my belief that the rise of streaming services have green lit so many projects with people that are not qualified to be executives, actors, directors, writers, or show runners just for the sake of having content for said services.

There might be some similarities, but I feel this era is different. When HBO started up it was totally just about bringing movies to your home. That was a big chunk of the programing, the name of the company literally says that, Home Box Office.Same things were said when cable was introduced. And, it was true on some levels, and then the quality of content caught up. Streaming content quality is increasing at a faster pace than cable content did.Originally Posted by futiles
