Apparently the original "realistic" design of Sonic was Paramount's attempt to capitalise on their success with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, which also had controversial redesigns of beloved characters. The studio realised that fans of the games would be unhappy, but believed that general audiences would accept them.
Long story short: *_Nah._*
They tried to mess with Sonic, the fandom that has arguably the most dedicated and unique fandom in all of video gaming. I get what they were going for, but it wasn't a good idea, especially when Sonic looks more like Thing 1 and 2
@@GrumpyTy34er "unique"
IMO, making a cute video game character also cute in a movie is the way to go. That original abomination was nightmare fuel. The redesign was adorable, as it should be.
Sonic Fandom: Nope. Not this time, Paramount
Paramount: Okay, okay. We'll fix it.
Sonic Fandom: Ah, much better
I also read that but apparently the source turned out to be not entirely truthful and even reputable websites took down articles that originally quoted this. I was going to mention it, but in light of this appearing to be possibly not true (or at least just speculation), I decided not to mention it.
11:40- “Why are you so upset? Is it because your father threw you off that cliff?”
Honestly, yes. That would make me very upset.
hem 12:18
i'm not all that familiar with Tekken, but i do believe he is always upset that his father threw him off that cliff
or it awakened something in him, and he likes throwing everyone else off cliffs now, unsure
@@Vee_Sheep yeah, I don’t know anything about Tekken either. Don’t know how he is even alive unless it wasn’t a very big cliff or that he has superpowers or something.
@@1993Southparkfan im pretty sure it was a big cliff, leading into a volcanic crater, and i think he does have demon superpowers
@@1993Southparkfan His dad married this woman with demon powers, and he didn't know, so those demon in him powers are why he didn't die being flung into a cliff when he was 2
The sonic movie and detective pikachu were actually pretty good. I feel that they respect each iteration
Werewolves Within was also really good!!! Yes Pikachu and Sonic were AMAZING!!!
Detective Pikachu is one of the best adaptations of a video game storyline, not just using the characters and the world like Sonic.
Yeah, Sonic was pretty good.
Hope we'll see him grow out of the curious kid thing and into the Shonen Sonic tho, lol. If we can't have that in the games, at least let us have it in the movies xd
Detective Pikachu revived my burning desire to have a Tyranitar.
And Rampage.
just one thing, the show the Witcher isnt based on the game, but on the book by the same name which the game is also based on
And the character of Geralt is also heavily based on Elric.
We're at "based on" level 4 or 5 at this point
While you're right, it incorporates a lot of the visual and auditory language from the game.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Also, Cavill's performance is mostly informed by geralt of the games. So Some is taken from the games by certain people, but it is in fact based on the books.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep wich came from THE BOOKS
@@pedrocardoso4507 Dunno man... the last thing I heard from a book was a "thump" from getting hit by one of them by a bully
The day M. Bison visited your village, it was the most important day of your lives. For me, it was Tuesday.
Raul Julia carried that movie until his heart gave out.
*"OF COURSE!"*
Remembering how Sonic X used pretty much a whole season to just recape the Adventure games then went wait lets just go crazy and get Tails a women
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 well why not? i mean seriously why is Sonic the only one allowed to have girlfriends? at this rate he's had three and now somebody wants to have a problem with Tails getting one? sheesh... no wonder Tails gets dudeshipped all the time.
@@UltimateGamerCC XD nah nah am happy for him its just funny they went from just redoing the games too pulling off something like that
Hearing Edd call animation a genre made every cell in my body explode creating a nuculear winter
Yeah I fucked up. Sry
@eddache 37:17 you referenced one of my favourite songs!!! :3
the small nod to sonic being done by ben schwartz, someone who loves the game, really makes my heart swell. ALL the interviews he’s done talking about it and you can just feel his passion for the role - that’s how these films should continue being made!
And then there's German Sonic being voiced by a German youtuber cause why the fuck not :/
Uwe Boll, a man who hated critics so much he became a critic himself. (find his Letterboxd reviews, they're weird)
integer overflow
uwe bolls only good adaptation was postal
TBF to Uwe, he is an excellent restauranteur!
@@shinyrayquaza9 AGREED
@@shinyrayquaza9 yeah because vince desi (cso of RWS) had creative control of it
Fun fact: Professor Layton had a movie called Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva and it's actually really good.
Yeah. It's one of the best videogame movies I saw. I really love how it's great movie for players and in the same time for newcomers. And the music is also awesome. I am listening to it till today. It would be great if it got some sort of sequel, but I don't think there's even any chance to get new Layton game.
Yup. The Professor Layton games already have animated cutscenes, and the exact same studio that did those also made the movie. I believe the reason it works so well is because it's basically just another adventure of the Professor, with a place in the timeline and everything. The film knows its audience, namely, fans of the games.
No way Hatsune Miku x Layton
I always enjoyed it
@@miimiiandco.8721underrated comment
I think it mainly stems from a portion of game adoptions not really understanding what makes the game entertaining and fun to begin with .
Chris Pratt?
@@lewdwig what?
Illumination thinks celeb appeal will make mario movie popular, but it's the iconicity and fun. But I don't know what illumantion is planning here.
Could pull a China and make a 2012 style shitpost webshow
i think the people in charge don't care to know or understand those things.. they just want to namedrop some popular characters & make money off fan recognition of superior franchises/content
Detective Pikachu and Sonic broke badness trend. I believe this is because they write new stories with existing videogame characters instead of using the actual videogame’s timeline
Detective Pikachu actually follows the story of the game it’s based on, though there are a few twists, new characters and set pieces to keep people guessing.
Hm I'd guess it's because both Sonic and Pokémon have delved into multimedia before with cartoons and comics/manga and such. So if any videogame franchise is going to get a good movie it's these ones.
Using what timeline? I don't think I ever saw a game adaptation movie that actually respected the source material. They always seem to think that they are childish or too silly so they "have to" make something up and it always ended up crap.
Final Fantasy? Literally nothing related to the series.
Super Mario Bros? Used only the names for stuff from the games, nothing is even remotely similar.
Double Dragon? PLEASE.
Max Payne, Hitman, Doom? Haphazardly picked the bare minimum to deserve the name.
Far Cry, Postal, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege, Alone in the Dark, goddamned House of the Dead?! Uwe Boll and his cheap schlock needs no introductions I hope.
Oh god, the Resident Evil movies. Next to no plot transplanted from the games and every character is pushed aside so the directors fanfic wank material can take the stage.
Literally all of them piss all over the source material utterly and completely. So no, Detective Pikachu and Sonic did not break the trend due to making new stories, they are actually part of the same trend as all of the bad ones. If anything it shows what you can do if you care at least a little...
As said above, Detective Pikachu is ripped from the same named DS games.
I believe there success is because the DP movie and the Sonic movie was made for audiences that are simps, and starved for good content from their respective ip’s.
The recent Mortal Kombat movie was very mixed, as Mortal Kombat fans have had a great last game, and the movie didn’t fan service enough and focused on a storyline that did not exist in the video game, but was too original.
Sonic has already had a series and video game where he goes to the “real world”, and DP is a re-write of DP. Still took a lot of skill to make good though.
@@Vanreis I think there is a good case that the best film based on a Video game came out this year, and that it Werewolves Within. It's got an 85% Fresh rating and the only other 3 games based on a video game that break 60% are the 2 mentioned above, and then beating both of them (which surprised me) was the second Angry Birds movie at 73%. It's even the highest on metacritic, with second being Mortal Kombat and third being Detective Pikachu and both of those are still in the yellows. The only problem is no one has watched it, it hasn't even broken $1 million in the box office and the video game is an adaptation of a 'tabletop' game (using tabletop in the loosest sense of the term as there isn't usually a table involved in a game of werewolf).
EDIT - It seems Edd does mention Werewolves within right at the end
Man, that scene in the Pokémon movie still makes me cry.
Which one
@@saltyroberto5916 i think they meant the first
@@maggieent3215 think they meant the scene
this scene was super efective
14:18
Takeshi Miike, the acclaimed director who did the Ace Attorney film also did a film adaptation of the first game in SEGA's Yakuza franchise called Yakuza: Like A Dragon, while not as good as Ace Attorney it was a decent adaptation especially the perfect casting of the actor who plays Majima.
Japan in general has a better track record of decent video game adaptations than Hollywood does, they even made a J-drama series adaptation of the Kunio-Kun games aka. Renegade and River City Ransom
You know about ai uehara?
The one other problem with the Mewtwo Stirkes Back remake is it gets rid of the drying pan line and thats just a tragedy
Didnt know that, I could just shit.
pretty sure the drying pan line was from a different movie. Also mewtwo, but not Mewtwo strikes back
A game adaptation I sort of enjoyed despite me feeling it could’ve been so much better knowing the series high quality is the Ratchet and Clank movie, cause despite its faults I still managed to have a fun time with the elements of series it decided to represent.
You're opinion is entierly valid
-but that movie is mostly just cutscenes from a game-
@@spooderman6312 Well actually the movie was being developed years prior to the game, which only was made in 10 months, not sure how people managed to get confused by that .
@@BugsyFoga a big budget game that isn’t half bad being made in only 10 months is fucking insane
@@BugsyFoga oh, well that's interesting
I was pretty disappointed in that movie. It lacked a lot of the edge from the games as well (which is a problem I have with the newer games).
"Games are fun, so the movie should be fun" Cant wait until they turn PT into a movie and give its viewers actual mental trauma.
That would require Konami acknowledging that PT exists
@@MegaChaseman1 yes
adapt PT into a movie, complete with wacky ARG puzzles just to see 5 seconds of Norman Reedus and then a lifetime of grief and hatred for Konami
@@Vee_Sheep yes
pt is one of the most best horror thing human ever made
I know it's *technically* a TV show and not a movie, but I think Arcane did a fantastic job of showing how adaptations can be done
The show is better than the game, but that's not a very high bar.
@@nutball3756 even still, its pretty damn great
well LOL players cant deny its just a dota tutorial. so its adaptationception...
I read that apparently Paramount went with that ugly “realistic” Sonic design because they wanted to mimic the aesthetic of the live action Transformers and TMNT movies, cause those were relatively successful. Then changed it due to the universal backlash.
But you should check some sonic photoshope art work they look realistic and stylized at the same time cgi is still has room to grow
@@ahmedtoqeer153 That doesn’t really excuse the initial design though that’s actually sad for some fan art or something can make a better design than a big budget movie. The design was so bad that looked it looked like no one was gonna see the movie, Sonic isn’t a character that needed to look realistic for a movie in the first place.
@@Santoryu90 designing is more easy than animation you can make a good design cgi but it's super difficult to move it naturally
@@Santoryu90 that's why you can't accept it fully
@@ahmedtoqeer153So are your defending the initial design? I’m not saying Cgi is easy but the design was uncanny valley either way.
I’m so disappointed they didn’t cast DeVito as toad in the upcoming Mario movie. Jack Black as Bowser was a great choice, though.
I can tell he will atleast have a enjoyable role
He'll be wario in the sequel just watch
Danny Devito as Wario or I'll be pissed
He can play Wart in the sequel.
@@cookieface80 would the sequel also be a repaint of another already existing piece of media?
Thank you so much for the needle warning. I have a severe phobia of needles just seeing one can give me an anxiety attack if I'm unlucky and you have no idea how often people just put them on screen out of nowhere especially nowadays. In case anyone was worried I am fully vaccinated already even if the stress felt like it was going to kill me.
Surprised & a bit sad Professor Layton & The Eternal Diva isn’t mentioned here. My pick for best Video Game Movie (which is even canonical to the games)
The Mortal Kombat movie has always been a guilty pleasure for me, as it was the only movie I owned when I was like seven, so I just played the movie over and over again as background noise.
Mortal Kombat was/is the first example of Video Game Movie done right... then the sequel flubbed that up by being way worse...
@@UltimateGamerCC the first Mk movie was bad. Its still fun to watch which kind of makes up for it.
@@danr8267 disagree, first one was pretty damn good, especially when they had to leave out the gore, now the sequel... THAT is bad...
I think the original MK movie was good because they embraced the campiness of bad effects and a terrible plot. Also, the entire budget was worth it just for the music
@@jameswhatsit i wouldnt say the plot was terrible, it was similar to the game but with some nuances, like Shang Tsung being afraid of Liu Kang.
13:41 Ok I know this is kind of a small point but every critic makes it and it really annoys me. the quote is "Pokemon are not meant to fight... not like this." And yet it somehow reviewers completely miss the "not like this" as in, they aren't meant to be forced to fight each other TO THE DEATH, most pokemon battles, to the contrary, as said by Edd just a minute before, are for fun and sport, much more akin to fighting in the form of, say, boxing or martial arts competitions. But in the circumstances of the movie, Mewtwos obsession with clone supremacy and hatred for humans and "originals" compels his clones and their originals to absolutely brutalise each other to the point where they continue their fighting well beyond the point of exhaustion, to the point where they are so desperate to kill the other that they are risking killing themselves in the process.
I think this disconnect is partially the result of the fact that martial arts are much less of a thing in the west, so it’s harder for folks to grasp the distinction.
@@pokepress What about wrestling, or boxing, or MMA?
@@AdvancedDefense or Ice Hockey?
The amount of love and effort that Eddie obviously puts into these videos has made this one of my favourite channels. Side note - if anyone else recognises that music but can't place it; its from TripleJump's Worst Games Ever intro. It was bugging me for ages during the first half of the video so I had to rewind when I worked it out.
11:39 That is one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in my life, and it was definitely not intentional lol.
Thanks for mentioning the anime Mario movie. it doesn’t get the credit it deserves (probably because it never got a western release)
Every video about game based movies doesn't mention the Professor Layton movie (so I will). A perfect adaptation of the way the games are: puzzles (even with the same music), a fun story, wacky characters, and great animation. It was even canon in the Layton game series.
Angry Birds 2 is such a fun time for a movie based on a mobile game, so glad you mentioned it
Eddache’s videos are so perfectly made. The editing the script. Just great stuff!
I think MatPat put it best when he said it actually takes away the element of choice like when playing a game.
For some reason I was able to watch like hundreds of episodes of Pokemon despite not being able to control the characters, so I don't get why this is considered such a good point.
@@WeirdToYourMother I meant live-action films, anime/animation is different
@@WeirdToYourMother I feel the games play another fantasy you have in teh games: being able to live with your POkemon (not just cock fight them). That's why I really enjoy pokemon snap and ranger. They flesh out the world and let me enjoy different fantasies
20:25 So, my wife just taught me that this is NOT Christophe Lambert in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997), it's a guy named James Remar, and god damn does he look like Lambert from the first movie
Mr. Sunday Movies taught me that that's a guy from Sex and The City who has erectile dysfunction
"Why did you change the thumbnail and title?" - Because it made the algorithm unhappy
Dang he's obviously had this video essay in the works for at least a month and it just so happens the mario movie cast was revealed a few days ago. Good timing for the ol' algorithm
1:26 - "Unlike my analysis of Spoof Movies, this isn't just one genre. There's action, horror, Animation..."
Wait WHAT!? Did you just say that Animation is a genre? It is NOT A GENRE. Animation is a multi media artform that can fit any actual genre imaginable. It's for everyone!
I know. I'm using it here as shorthand for "family friendly animated movies"
@@eddache Thank you. as an animation fan this tends to be my pet peeve... Apologies for the outburst.
@@davisstreetstudios8681 Yeah, it's clearly gotta be one of my favorite genres too.
Postal is actually really good. It catches the themes of the game very well
12:58 my parents still groan about having to sit through that movie in cinema with me as a kid, describing a boredom so abyssal it broke their soul.
I feel so bad for my dad. My siblings and I forced him to watch the first Pokémon movie in the theater. Years later I took him out on a steak dinner to apologize.
It could have been worse, my father had to endure Diancie and the cocoon of destruction. Dads like these have the patience of a saint.
hey at least the first movie toyed with darkness and deeper themes
That's not a bad movie to watch with your dad;it has some dark themes and actual stakes at least.
My dad hasn’t seen any video game movies probably because he’s a lawyer and he’s busy helping the genuinely good people getting their lives back.
I saw the lion King in 1994
Two fun facts I lost my first tooth and my dad slept through most of the movie
Even though it's only been a year, I would love to see a followup to this video. So much has happened.
One reason why the Angry Birds sequel worked better is because Thurop Van Orman, of The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack fame, directed it. It really shows with the more cartoonier aspects of it by getting, well, a Cartoon Network show creator for it.
I grew up on the live mario movie and I still love it to this day. As a kid I always thought those rocket shoes in that movie were awesome and I wish I had those.
It was a little bad back then yet we're slowly so far getting a bit better now so let's hope in the future we can get much better with these game tie in movies
Then Chris pratt gets announced to play mario
A little?! The Mario movie had changed my life for the worse
@@bobbyonkazoo3512 how?
@@Grane1234 oh yknow
@@bobbyonkazoo3512 I... don't know
Postal 2 is literally one of my favorite games. I can tell just from these clips that the movie is godawful and has zero concept of the humor from the actual game. Honestly, a retelling of the literal 'mundane' story from the game would have been hilarious to see in a movie. The entire concept is a subversion.
As someone who genuinely enjoyed Ratchet and Clank’s movie that is honestly sad we’ll never see a Sly movie and the rumours of a Jak and Daxter film(or that may have been my hope since Naughty Dog was too focused on The Last of Meh) atleast we had some other great Video Game movies
I was REALLY looking forward to the Sly Cooper movie. Heck the teaser looked decent. If I’m correct though Sly is being made into a tv show.
@@patrickrobinsob1464 that rumor has been around for a LONGGGG time, as a Sly fan myself, I'm sad we never got to see the movie or the show. But perhaps, there's still hope for the franchise, Sony has been promoting Sly more than ever so maybe we'll finally see Sly back in action
Fun fact but the live-action Mario movie had a sequel in the form of a webcomic, where it was based on Super Mario 2
What’s also funny is that it’s canon since one of the original writers worked on it
28:38 This broke me. Still cannot stop giggling. Great video by the way, but that moment made my day. Thank you!
Cartoon isn't a genre, it is a creative choice that can help to make characters and their movements more interesting. It's a handy tool for making character look more villainous, and can make expressions far more entertaining.
*Chris “Mario” Pratt:* Hey there I’m Mario

Super Mario is a "So bad it's good" movie.
The set was chaos. The directors were practically insane and impossible to work with, and the entire cast spent the entire time they were shooting completely drunk just to get through it.
11:40 That's the entire plot of Tekken.
46:45 I was waiting for the Amogus reference that never came
@Cristian Monserrate Because they're both based on an old social game called Werewolf or Mafia.
Ok, that "steaks escalating" visual metaphor is damn brilliant! XD 24:26
32:52 What's funny is that despite how bad the Postal Movie is, it's actually the most faithful adaptation of a video game movie Uwe Boll has made. If you haven't played Postal 2 (Which you should) then you wouldn't understand. The movie's sense of humor comes directly from the developers at Running With Scissors, so you can blame them for the "edgy" humor. Almost all the "bad guys" (The Taliban, bad cops, civilians etc.) make an appearance in the game. The lead protagonist doesn't even have an actual name, they just refer to him as "The Postal Dude", just like in the Postal games. The story is kind of similar to the games as well. In the game, The Postal Dude wakes up and gets his day started by running some errands his wife has listed down. You explore the town of Paradise Arizona while getting caught up in day to day violence, like violent shoot outs, police killings, protests, robberies, and terrorists attacks. But of course you take matters into your own hands and eventually end up participating in the violence, the violence eventually gets blamed on you and now everyone is out to get you. The game ends by getting killed by your wife which leads into the DLC Apocalypse weekend and Paradise Lost (We don't talk about Postal 3). The Krotch mascott "Krotchy" originates from the game as well. The Midget Humor probably also comes from the REAL Gary Coleman making a guest star appearance as himself and the 9/11/Taliban jokes all come from the game as well. You have to remember, this movie is an adaptation from the game, and the game was released in 2003, the humor was still relevant at the time so it's not entirely the films fault. I think the dark humor also comes from the fact that Postal 1 and 2 was under lot of fire during the 1990s and early 2000s due to it's "School Shooter" mentality. So perhaps this movie is just trying to cause as much fear as possible to the "snowflakes". Hell, Running With Scissors is also funding for a documentary about the violent video game controversy called "Going Postal". So I guess this movies fits more into the "Just for the fans" category. This movie was never meant to be watched by someone who hasn't played Postal 2. If you're not planning on playing postal 2 then I highly recommended you watch Leadhead's video on the game and Dumbsville's video on the film. It's definitely worth it. And if you really care then watch civvie 11's play through, it may be the best postal related content out there.
*Also don't forget to buy Postal 4, Postal: REDUX on the Nintendo Switch, and check out the POSTAL: Brain Damaged demo on steam.*
I REGRET NOTHING.
I used to play Postal 2 during high school with my friend from then and we had a fucking kick out of the humor and crazy shit you could do in it, recently played it and the dlc and I still enjoy it. Running with Scissors is the one of the very best vidya game studios I can think of that has no fucks to give about anything they make..
@@absolutemadlad4334 Agreed.
i can actually confirm, anilation was unfinished, a friend of my family owned a video store, and would let us have her old screener tapes, and i watched the mk movies over and over, the only difference from the screeners, and teh final tapes, was that the screeners, switched to black and white, and had a code displayed on screen during certain scenes so that if it was ever duplicated they could track down who did it. none of the effects were updated or fixed between them at all.
50 minutes of eddie, diner is gonna be great
19:01 is my favourite, it is well animated when Scorpion pulls you off-screen which made me laugh.
I love Advent Children so much! The discs had a short summary video of the game plot for those who hadn't played the game. I watched that and was fine.
i remember physical media. good days.
@@guillermoelnino You say that like it isn't still around.
On the Ratchet & Clank movie: “[…]which seemed to try so hard to please everyone, it pleased no one.”
I’ve been trying to think of the best way to describe this movie for years and Eddie nailed it on the head. Heck I’m the one person who enjoyed the movie and even I can admit I have no idea who it was made for. It’s too stuffed to the brim with references and shout-outs to the series to be for general audiences but yet it doesn’t resemble the series enough for fans. It’s like Rainmaker (now Mainframe) wanted to make a knock-off Disney/DreamWorks film and just so happened to get the rights to R&C and so used it for that purpose, which really blows.
The fact that allegedly they weren’t even gonna get James Arnold Taylor (Ratchet), David Kaye (Clank), Jim Ward (Qwark), and Armin Shimerman (Nefarious) to voice their characters in the film at first and were instead considering getting other celebrities to do it really speaks volumes to how they approached this film. Hell they even GOT Drek’s original voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson back to record his lines, but then re-recorded them with Paul Giamatti instead.
As much as it saddens me that Sly as a franchise is dead right now, in hindsight I’m glad the film got canned cause I imagine the film studio wouldn’t have handled it any better.
R&C does have its moments and ticks a lot of the tight boxes but yeah, it falls short which is a shame because it looks great. I hear Sly might be back as an animated series for Sony in some form, so there might be hope yet!
I can't unhear that idiotic ACiT reference... it made me phisically cringe
I like the Horrible Histories HHTV news approach to the history narration!
I had to scroll through too many comments to find this one, glad I'm not the only one who noticed the nod to Bob Hale!
40:49 Okay that was hilarious 😂
I love how the one thing anyone can remember from Elf Bowling is "WHO POOPED IN THE PEANUT BARREL?!"
I can never unhear Mewtwo as shadow
as someone who played (and liked) postal 2, it seems like some of the jokes Uwe Boll used in his postal movie were from the games, but without the sarcastic layer of irony that they have in the games. The infidels keep out sign is one I remember from the game.
You know what, I feel like you described postal to a T with that summary. The game is basically exactly like that.
I love these longer videos! Please keep doing more!!
Since you're making this video (which I didn't expect), and 49 minutes long, it's going to be very detailed and interesting.
Had to double back on the Chun-Li clip that was shown and my god Ming Na-Wen has barely aged in almost 30 years.
“The Angry Birds Movie 2 has the birds and the pigs team up which was never done in the games” Me: *Laughs in Angry Birds Transformers*
Sonic is one of the best examples about how to make a great video game movie I ve seen in years
Between Boll and The spirits within I’m genuinely surprised your alive
"Like the mario movie, and the mario movie"
Uh, theres a third one now. why do all the mario movies have mario and luigi just normal dudes being warped into the mushroom kingdom
Really enjoyed this deep dive, another cracking video Eddache!
13:22 the way he says cat
Then Arcane happened, one of the most loved cartoons of all time
I can't help but wonder how much restraint it took too not put a Sonichu reference in the Sonic movie.
Oh man, that brought back a movie memory I hadn't thought about recently. My high school's anime club watched Advent Children pretty much as soon as it was available in English, and I think I was the only person in the room who hadn't played Final Fantasy VII so I had no idea who anyone was or why they were doing anything.
Pokemon 3 is the best Pokemon movie. It addresses the theme of loss and accepting death. Molly isn't just staying in the house, she is attached to the home as it was connected to her father which the unowns use to manipulate her.
Yeah in general I appreciate the Pokemon films for being unafraid to dabble in darker themes
@@eddache all the good pokemon movies are the darker ones. The newer movies tried to go more action based and some were really bad.
In defense of Postal, shock humor and lack of taste is a huge part of the game too
"I watched 64 movies in a week."
_A few minutes later_
"Don't you want to go back to being a kid and being able to do nothing but eat cereal and --watch TV passively-- play videogames all day?"
Honestly man, it sounds like you're already living that life even _without_ the Magic Spoon sponsorship.
43:22 JUST LIKE THE “MARYIO” MOVIE
For anyone who is legitimately passionate about cinema and wants to actually make good films, seeing a person like Uwe Boll taking up space and breathing all the air is kind of a big slap in the face.
I'm glad we finally figured it out and now if anyone ever asks I can make them watch the entire video.
Postal is still somehow one of the most accurate video game - movie adaptations. It's horrible, but like, it was Postal, and it interests me to no end.
I have a horrible feeling that the upcoming Super Mario bros movie from Illumination may bomb when it comes out next Spring.
History is going to repeat itself from 30 years ago.
You forgot to point out that in Mortal Kombat 11, they brought back Shang-Tsung as a playable character, with his appearance being near identical to the 1995 film, and even bringing back his actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa to voice him!
Also thank you for not bringing up the live action King of Fighters movie
Because a lot of the time, they heavily deviate from the game they’re based on.
That’s my takeaway.
Deviation doesn’t necessary mean that its _bad…_
Its the execution that matters more.
eh... that CAN be a factor, after all Super Mario Bros is offensively bad imo because of how much it deviates from the source.
@@BobbinRobbin777 The thing is, in terms of video game movie adaptations, deviation is done out of arrogance 9 times out of 10. Like "Video games are for kids, and also dumb! This is what *real men* like!" and then they turn Mario into cyberpunk.
@@legoworld246 yes, but othertimes it can be used to tell something new or improve on the old!
this is so good eddie!!!!!! i can tell how much you care about this topic🥳
I'll admit that to this day I can't watch the first Pokemon movie without crying. The 2 main ones are Pikachu trying to escape the balls and growing weaker with each attack and seeing him getting worn down while the other is Pikachu trying to revive Ash. I'm 28 years old and still get choked up with Ed just mentioning the scenes.
24 years later and I still love the live action mario movie. Always warms my heart through that cheesy movie.
BROTHER! Finally another that enjoys it!
43:12 - 43:19 ...and the Mario movie.
I want to make an entire brand of unhealthy food. Just good tasting food, no bullshit health crap. Stuff that will kill you with a smile. Not something that pretends to be healthy but instead it just expects you to eat a babies portion.
Every time I see an ad for healthy food like magic spoon all I think is it's probably not healthy, tastes off, and has no chance at filling me up.
I think this is your best video. I've loved all of your stuff but this is just the toppest tier.
Detective Pikachu absolutely broke the video game movie curse. I remember people being like "it's gonna be bad bc all video game movies are bad" in the run-up to its release, and then after it was released, I never saw anyone say it was bad again. Genuinely. Ever since Detective Pikachu, there's been a video game movie out at least once a year and me and my brother, who have always shared a love of gaming, have made it a tradition to go see them. Each have been effin' awesome. Even the Mario movie, which I was scared about it not being good tbh! But both me and my brother ended up loving it. 🥰💖 I think Detective Pikachu showed Hollywood how video game movies should be done. It gave them the tools and formula that they needed, and it also encouraged studios to try again as I think people were kinda starting to give up on video game movies by that point. I think Detective Pikachu showed people what was possible. I wish we could have gotten that sequel but it doesn't look like it's happening now. 😢
It is *insane* that you managed to make a video about video-game movies or movies based on video-game or movies inspired by video-games and the good exceptions in that genre without ever mentioning Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Also Hardcore Henry. It’s not an adaptation of anything, but it’s the best video game movie.
@@henrynelson9301 It’s an adaptation of a comic if i’m not mistaken
@@jam-the-hologram I’m not finding anything about that. There was a comic made to promote the movie, but that’s it.
Tbh I liked the Ratchet and clank movie, while almost changing the whole story from the first game destroyed it, it was still quite good. While the movie did lose money, the game based on the movie based on the game is one of the most sold games for ps4 and there might be a chance they'll make another movie in the future and learn from their mistake about changing the story too much.
Game spoilers for detective Pikachu:
My only issues with the Detective Pikachu movie is how they changed the ending entirely to the opposite conclusion. I understand removing the terrorism and literal chemical attacks- and i love that change as it's way more compelling, but Pikachu isn't Tims dad originally and the cause of Pikachu's communication isnt answered yet. All we know is Tims dad is alive and somewhere, may or may not be comatosed. It's kind of implied he's reappeared at the site of the crash because they've fulfilled their promise to Mewtwo. They leave together to investigate after Mewtwo confirms everything for them, even Pikachu was kinda sure he's Tims dad before this lol. I wonder if the game and movie stories will split entirely or if one will change to accommodate the other
16:02 this is probably the funniest clip from any video game movie
So far, we've never had a series of Kingdom Hearts movies.
Not yet...
Apparently there was once plans for a animated tv series with some concept art, but it never went through.
@@brandonlyon730 SAY WHAT??? Why am I just now learning about this???
0:51 Actually, The Witcher started as a book series created by a polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, but the Netflix show mostly sources stuff from the games, so I'm not sure about that.
Another brilliant video
To be fair to the line in the pokemon movie about them fighting, Nurse Joy was referring to them battling to the death, a full on war, that's not what pokemon battling's meant to be, it's supposed to just be fun sparring matches to get stronger and test your skills
