PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Everyone keep in mind that this isn’t some Microslop project. This is a very artistic person (Kane Parsons) and a very un-corporate-like IP owner (Valve). It could go wrong, but I certainly don’t expect it to be bland.
Portal is a game, it’s only fun because YOU are playing it. Unless this strays massively from the source material I don’t see how this could be more than ‘ok’.
I would expect a show about portal to focus on Aperture Science as a company, not the gameplay of the Portal games. That wouldn’t translate well at all.
And yet, we got 2 mario movies and a minecraft movie in the past 5 years.
Yeah, none of which have followed the gameplay or plot of the games exclusively.
Big “speculation” going on here
My reply to you wasn’t intended to be malicious, lighten up
We’re all just pointing out speculation, wasn’t intended to be malicious.
Calm down
I’m conflicted. It has the potential for some of the best visuals and comedy to ever come out of a video game movie, but part of me also struggles with how they’re going to not make the portals feel like too much of the focus.
Chell and Glados both find the portals relatively unremarkable in context, but if in the movie the whole time they’re like “😱PORTALS?! Look how cool they are!!!” I think it will ruin the vibe.
It has to acknowledge the portals and then immediately move past them to focus on the story. Otherwise it’s just going to be a bad visual treat with no substance.
“Speedy thing go in, speedy thing come out.”
You’re conflicted over zero substantive details? How?
This is known as “speculation”
While you wait
I’m NGL, if it doesn’t have a queer woman director, I don’t know if they’ll get why it works.
Edit: lol, seriously didn’t expect that to piss you guys off, but then again, a reminder of the demos on Lemmy, whether they say it or not.
