Absolutely. Although there's still moments like I tried to recently pitch a Robotron 2084 show. God damn it, Drucker. God damn it, Drucker. That was kind of their reaction. They were like, this is a great pitch. We don't know if anyone wants this. Use your powers for good, Drucker. It was very friendly. It was a great pitch. I had it all set out and, and they were very positive on it.
It was just at the end, they were like, we don't think anyone would watch this. I was like, yeah, you're probably right. Good day.
Um, no, but as far as Miyamoto and Druckman being involved, I think that's great. You know, they're the creators who kind of understand it the best, you know, um, The reason I think a lot of video game movies were so bad, especially in the past, was in the past, a lot of people didn't really play them unless they were assigned to write them.
You would get a copy of Street Fighter II, and they were like, write a whole movie based on this with almost nothing to go off of and no internet to search for information. And I think here you have these guys who really understand the thing. They really understand the feeling they want out of it. They know what they personally want out of it.
Miyamoto basically made the Super Mario movie a Mario game that you just watch someone else play. And I 100% loved it for it. So to me, having the soul creative in there is really good.
um you know and that's why i fear things when like companies like bioware fire writers who have been there forever because i'm like these are the people that know these characters the best they're the ones who like created the characters or they're the ones who like brought them through these arcs and you know people with skill can always you know shuffle something and make make their own version of it and do their own take on it but having the creators there i think is really what will make it special
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It felt like a movie based on Uncharted rather than the movie version of Uncharted, and I don't know if that makes sense.
I mean, they're also tearing down the Looney Tunes lot, like...
where it's a transitional it's a rebuilding year um you wonder if it'll be a year or is it gonna be whoever buys them next and does all these things that'll rebuild whatever it is it's but it's been it's been like kind of shocking like i'm i'm genuinely surprised that i didn't play hogwarts legacy but i am surprised that it's not getting an expansion just because i think it might have been the best-selling game of the year it came out yes like that is correct you would assume yeah
Yeah. And it's an IP that did not have many games about it for years and years. Like, it was the perfect storm for them. To me, I would have maybe... I could have understood if that news story was... mystery Warner brothers game canceled for Hogwarts legacy expansion.
But canceling that expansion to me is nuts.
I mean, and games do that all the time. Like, I feel like Dredge has like eight expansion packs or something. They're all like 10 bucks. Yeah. Like, you know, like it's easy to do that. It feels, I don't know. It feels like a weird business decision. I don't know if it's a smart business decision.
Yeah, yeah, I definitely think that's the case. And you kind of wonder, what money is being left on the table? How much did they already invest in this? Who's going to be laid off from this? I don't know. You also wonder how many corporate executives are coming in and looking at this Hogwarts legacy expansion and being like, can we add this? Can we put this in? I want this. Who wants that?
Can we have that? Can you cut that? Can we not have actors in it so it doesn't cost anything? Is there a spell where there's no voice acting? How would AI help this game? What can we do with AI? Can we get an NFT in there too? And I imagine that with...
A lot of these games, like if they're doing a Batman game, because Rocksteady probably is on thin ice, I could imagine them being micromanaged to the point where it actually breaks the game.
Yeah. Although, I mean, what I feel like the lesson they should have taken from the Batman is that maybe you don't need a connected universe approach. Sure. You know, maybe you just do your Batman movies and your Superman movies and they don't necessarily need to build up to, you know, Doomsday or something. You have this library.
Right. As long as I don't, but as long as I don't like tie their shoes together with like early movies that are supposed to be the foundation. And then people see one out of the three. Yeah, you know, I will admit that the Justice League Snyder Cut was of the movies. I was like, this is the one where I get what you're doing.
I know you and I disagreed on some of the Snyder movies, but the Snyder Cut was the one where I was like, I get it.
But it does seem like and again, you obviously the vibes of a trailer can be different from the actual movie. But it does seem to do something that I'm excited about, whereas it makes me feel like a little kid where I'm like Superman. Yeah. Like you have crypto coming to save him. You know, you're like, you know, you that's sort of I mean, even going back to Legend of Zelda movie.
That's what I want from a Superman movie, too, is I want to look up the sky, look up at the sky and be like, it's Superman. 100%. I don't want it to be dark. I don't want it to be mean.
