With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 out, let’s look at the history of why video game movies are bad (usually) and how it could change. Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, Warcraft, Prince of Persia; I was disappointed every time one of my favorite franchises finally got an adaption. But now, Sonic, Halo, Tomb Raider (2018), and Rampage are pushing the boundaries by being just ok. There is still hope for adaptions, with Arcane becoming my favorite series on Netflix in 2021. But why does Arcane work while other adaptions fail? Let’s find out together.
Plus, we can always look forward to Chris Pratt as Mario in the new Super Mario Bros movie. As Nintendo would say, “he’s so cool!”
