    There’s a strong Italian influence in the character names, which are often quirky, pun filled, and dirty. I feel like the movie could be a Renaissance Italy sex comedy a la 70s horror films, but with a comedic twist. Like Suspiria or Vampyros Lesbos, but comedic.

    Here’s my try: Anthology movie. Each one fights larger and larger hordes of enemies while trying to find loot and spells.

    Meanwhile death does the narration and the whole time waxes on about mortality.

    No vampires ever appear on screen.

    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
