    They already made Battleship. That board game has even less implied plot than VS, so that argument isn’t the roadblock for Hollywood that it should be.

      The lack of plot can actually be helpful as it gives more freedom without upsetting any fans about breaking lore. Also battleship was a far better movie than it had any right to be.

        While not exactly a plot, LoL launched with a decent amount of lore, and grew over time. I still have my physical copy that came with a map of the nations and where main characters were from.

          They wiped all canon because they felt continuity made it too hard to make interesting stories

          Everything that came out since ate akin to fan fiction
