    Sigh. Just don’t. Please. It’s gonna be slop like the Mario movie, or Minecraft or doom or resident evil or alone in the dark… etc

    Nothing but greed and profit fuelling this project.

      The mario movie seemed really well done to me but I dont really watch many cartoons anymore. Cant really argue with the profit motive though it probably has that

      Wasn’t the Mario movie pretty well-received among fans, though? The Resident Evil films were also very successful, despite not being popular with the game’s original audience.

        I think it was well received with children? Most adults I know who saw it basically shrugged, said it was fine, and then eagerly awaited Super Mario Bros Wonder instead.

            Sure, but “fine” is not really what I want for a Zelda movie, personally. And judging by the apprehension of a lot of the Zelda fanbase, they seem to have similar sentiments.

            Also I’m not really sure why my other comment is getting downvoted, it was just what I observed in my circle of family/friends/coworkers. Apologies to any long time Mario fans I offended.

            After decades of stuff like Bob Hoskins Mario Bros, a million Resident Evil movies, and whatever Uwe Boll was making, it’s honestly the best we can hope for.

      The Sonic movies were pretty decent. Not super amazing, but the bar is so low for video game movies you might as well consider them masterpieces.

      However, I do not trust Nintendo to make a good Zelda movie.

      It could be slop. It also could be fantastic. Some video game adaptions have turned out well.

      Based on the trailers I legitimately think the Minecraft movie was written by AI
