Theres a whole trove of stuff thats been built and written to turn to a show or a movie and yet directors get pulled onto projects who eventually fuck things up. The Witcher has shown the way so hopefully the RE take they are taking deserts the rubbish we have been subjected to over there and does some good as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never really played the games myself and didn't watch the film, but my ex was a big fan back when it first came out (so I spent quite some time watching him play ), and I also quite enjoyed the book series in the same universe! Think the story is very interesting and can translate well into a TV series... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the re masters of them the Ezio trilogy and started them again after so many years. Such enjoyable games to play. I wish my ex would have watched me whilst playing instead of saying “come on you’ve been on that long enough now” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also wonder how Ridley feels after what I consider some batshit crazy awesomeness in Raised by Wolves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Covenant ended it all when David went to the homeworld and just wiped them all out. I do agree with the Xenomorph being done over and over again. We had Aliens with a mass colony and then it just spiraled downwards from there in the series with 20th Century trying to revive the series with an Alien5 which is currently in the writing phase I believe. Having said all that its one of the most iconic monsters in cinema and I think a show done without a mass horde of them might actually lend itself to some good TV if it can be paced right. Have you seen Raised by Wolves? If not I'd highly recommend it to see where Ridley's head is currently. I know I am not alone on this forum when I am eagerly waiting to see what Season 2 brings.

I hear nowadays he rejects roles that die on screen though In all seriousness, I think Jennifer Connelly carried the show in Season 1.

She will survive for sure For me it's a bit hit and miss... Jennifer Connelly's Melanie is great, and so is the actress who plays Ruth - now don't get me wrong, I fucking hate her character, but it is very interesting, the same could be said about A.J. too (both almost on par with Lost in Space's Dr. Smith in terms of being annoying ). However, Andre Layton is a poor cast in my opinion, and his character doesn't do anything for me; wouldn't be a big deal, but he's kinda the most important character...

Why does it seem that all the evil/hated characters are women?? I mean fair play, they really do the characters some justice when you hope something horrible happens to them or they get some just desserts at some point... I don't know, where do they draw that inspiration for being manipulative and scheming from... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
