    I say it was the casting director’s fault, nobody wanted a jokey short Roland. Take polls or read forums on who fans want to see and try your hardest to fill the role close to what the fans want.

      Fallout, the last of us? Stuck close to the games’ source material and respected current and new fans.

      Halo and borderlands both ignored current fans and diverted from the source material.

      Could there be a correlation? Oh, no just covid

        Halo and borderlands both ignored current fans and diverted from the source material.

        The show runners even said they didn’t like the games or planned on using much source material before the show even aired and I knew right then and there that it was going to be bad.

        The same shit with The Witcher, which is even more stupid because they actually had a good thing going in that first season and decided they didn’t actually want to be successful.

        It was insane that the big reveal was that Lilith was a siren, a fact you learn during character selection in the first game! There was absolutely no thought given to fans at all.

      Nah you could’ve casted golden girls to a good script and director and it would’ve been a good film.
