Right, GoG does most of the actual work required to make these old games run on modern machines so for Blizzard this is free money.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense.
I wonder if Blizzard is relieved that Anthemās trash fire is taking the attention off of theirs.

To be honest, even with a new controversy coming up practically every week now, I think people are still aware of and criticizing other companiesā faults. Even when something like this catches our attention, another group will still be rightfully slamming the others for their shenanigans.

Iād watch it.
That said, Iād love to see a netflix adaptation, like a season or two at most, of a bunch of marines coming in to close hell, find the Doom Slayer is already there and heās this silent figure like the robot from the new Lost in Space series.
And as the series progresses, the body-count rises higher and the team pushes further and further into Hell to try and shut down the portals, the realization that nobody is going home and that the Doom Slayer might be the only thing that can keep Hell from re-opening the Portals on this end, but their own bosses are going to keep trying to get into Hell for āreasonsā is weighing everybody down.
And at the end ā¦ Doom Slayer is nearly murdered, the female lead pulls the helmet off and itās ā¦ a demon. And it speaks, telling her it too once fought the forces of Hell to stop it overpowering her people, but her leaders succumbed to the corruption, for power, for immortality, for conquest, and eventually threw their entire reality into Hell to pay for their rise into the Nobility of Hell.
Female lead puts on the āDoom Slayerā armor, becomes the new Doom Slayer, turns around ā¦ thereās Doomguy and a host of Doom Slayers of various races in their Hell-Forged armors, staring her down, before throwing a boomstick to his new āSister in Armsā and pointing to the horizon, where fire and argent energy is crackling ominously, revealing a uncountable army of demons, including many never seen before, are charging across the bone-fields towards them all.
Bang, done, next.

That is such a passive aggressive and short response. I love it.
My annoyance with both sides of that argument has me twitching here.
On the one hand, yeah, itās a squad of marines going in to face Hell. Itās not the āDoomā we know and love, but that doesnāt mean it is innately bad. The original incarnation of Doomguy was just a marine (just, I say unironically, gah) who refused to lay down and die and fought through Hell twice. Imagine how the movie will play out knowing had good Hellās forces are at killing Humans and corrupting those who survive.
The new doomguy isnāt human. Heās from an older race that is Humanoid that surrendered to Hell long before Earth ever opened up the Portal to Hell on Mars, hence why when he meets up with non-Infested Humans, heās easily two or more feet higher than anybody not in armor.
That said, to flip this coin around, when making something based on a long-running beloved IP or franchise, it pays to know your source material inside-out and be prepared to bend the knee and pay homage where it is due.
Perhaps the movie starts off with the Marines going in, doing their job but finding out about this āDoom Slayerā, whom they misinterpret as some sort of human who got trapped in Hell and went on a rampage, complete with pictographs of the old Doom Slayer, complete with 16-bit āgraphicsā carved into the stone for a bit of a gag, and decide that, since the mission has already gone to the pits and theyāre stuck in LITERAL HELL courtesy of their commanding officers/government/business bastard trying to recoup some losses/cover up their mistakes/shift the blame, why not find the person who makes fully-fledged Demons soil themselves just when they hear the name.
Bang, youāre giving the characters of the movie something that both they and the audience want to see. Doomguy. And yet, if they find Doomguy, thereās no guarantee that heāll be willing to help them, being the incarnation of rage, or that heāll even be alive when they realize the Demons arenāt invading Earth, theyāre using the Portal to suck up souls and technological advancements because their entire army is fighting Doomguy right now, and they need all the reinforcements and technological edge Hell can cobble together to keep from being overwhelmed by this one raging lunatic with a chainsaw and a shotgun.

I enjoyed the first adaptation, Iāll probably enjoy this one.
This pretty much sums up my opinion at the media nonsense these days

So the full Aladdin trailer dropped
Potentially unpopular opinion (no idea what the majority opinion is and donāt really care to be honest). I like Will Smithās Genie and they seem to have touched up the cgi a bit. I am very relieved that they arent having Will Smith do a Robin Williamās impression and are instead letting Smith do his thing.
The movie looks like a lot of fun to me.
Edit: Also apparently Iām trust lvl 3 nowā¦and still unsubbed.

Not to repeat myself but Iām very happy weāre getting Will Smith as the Genie and not Will Smith as Robin Williams as the Genie.
