# What Are The Best & Worst Game Adaptations? (Tier List)

> Source: [What Are The Best & Worst Game Adaptations? (Tier List)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=qRSxBF_wH9A)

## Summary

The creator revisits and expands their tier list of video game adaptations, prompted by the Minecraft movie's success and audience requests. They rank over 20 adaptations from 'great' to 'awful', sharing strong opinions on what makes a good or bad adaptation.

### Key Points

- **Minecraft Movie** [2:04] — The Minecraft movie is a 4/10, boring but fun bad; it's on track to be the highest-earning video game adaptation.
- **Devil May Cry Anime** [5:06] — The Devil May Cry anime is a solid 7.5/10, good but not great; it's a necessary reboot for the franchise.
- **Fallout vs Arcane** [7:09] — Fallout is one of the greatest adaptations, but Arcane is above it because both are lore adaptations and Arcane is a better series.
- **Halo TV Show** [13:27] — The Halo TV show is the worst adaptation, insulting to the source material; Master Chief takes off his helmet and there's a 'Master Cheeks' scene.
- **Pokemon** [18:45] — Pokemon is the single greatest adaptation ever, printing money across games, anime, and cards.
- **Borderlands Movie** [22:23] — The Borderlands movie is the worst movie of last year, insulting and a failure.
- **Sonic Trilogy** [26:04] — The Sonic trilogy improved from 6/10 to 7.5-8/10, making it one of the best gaming adaptation trilogies.
- **Castlevania Series** [32:16] — Castlevania is superior to the original source material, practically a different thing.

## Transcript

video game adaptations, movies, TV
shows, some of these have an anime. That
is what we're going to be talking about
in this video. And if you have been
around for a minute since last November,
if I were to be exact, you would know
that I actually made this very same
video. But why am I making it again?
Have I finally run out of content?
Maybe. Maybe yes, maybe no. No, no, no,
no. The reason that we're remaking this
is uh for two reasons. Number one, we we
we gained like almost a hundred. We've
actually doubled in size since then, so
most people don't even know that I made
this, so they keep on requesting it over
and over again. And to an event known as
Chicken Jockey. Yes, the Minecraft movie
literally forced me to make this one
because I'm hearing a lot of people say
the Minecraft movie is the worst
adaptation ever created. No, it quite
literally isn't. We can talk about what
I think the worst adaptation is. Okay?
And there's a difference between being a
good adaptation and a good product and
being a good adaptation and a bad
product. We're going to be covering all
of that today. And uh if I were to do a
third reason, I limited We have a lot
more on this list. Like no, no, I'm
looking at it right now. We have 22
different IPs that have been uh adapted
into either a movie or a TV show. Some
of these I'm surprised I haven't talked
about before. And uh we're going to be
putting them into a tier list by how
good I think they are. And I'm just
going to warn you right now. Um, this is
going to be a pretty crass outheavy
video because I think you guys know why
there's there's there's going to be a
lot of uh crashing out here. I'll give
you a warning before it happens. But uh
you you you'll know. You'll know. You'll
know what I'm talking about. And if any
of that sounds good to you, please sort
of like, comment, and subscribe. We're
trying to get to 250,000 subscribers
before the end of the year. We are on
track to do it with the support of you
guys. And it honest, it's a humbling
experience through and through. But I
understand that this whole transaction
is I make funny content. You guys
subscribe. So, I'm just going to keep on
making content and I'm gonna hope you
guys keep up your side of the bargain.
And if you want me to do a video, put it
in the comment section down below. Let's
get into the video game adaptation tier
list. Now, the Minecraft movie. You know
what? Let's just tackle it right away.
Um the I am so happy the Minecraft movie
is doing well. You want to know why I'm
happy it's doing well? Because we have
gotten more content for Minecraft now
than we have within the past 5 years,
brother. They they have actually done
more with the lore of Minecraft now than
they have ever. Like they're actually
attempting. No, no, no. Do I think the
Minecraft movie is the lore of
Minecraft? Absolutely not. I think this
was just to make a [ __ ] ton of money.
And it is. It's actually on track to be
the highest earning video game
adaptation of all time, which is insane
considering we have the Mario movie just
right over here. That also was one of
the biggest earning movies of all. Like,
it's a lot of glazing. It's a really bad
movie. It is one of the worst movies
I've ever seen. Not the worst movie this
year. It is like a four out of 10. It is
just not good. It's not. It's not. But
I'm happy it's doing well. I hope it
makes 3 billion. I hope it out earns
Avatar. Why? It would be funny. That's
it. Okay. Now, parts that I like about
this movie. Not much. Um, Jack Black,
you know what? Let's just get into this.
The whole chicken jockey meme is equally
one of the funniest and worst things to
come out of media. Why? Stop lighting
fireworks inside of a movie theater. On
a real note, I understand I'm a content
creator, so it's it's really ritz coming
from me. If you are a grown man going to
a movie theater to watch the Minecraft
movie, good on you. But if you're going
to the Minecraft movie to set [ __ ]
fireworks off when Jack Black says
chicken jockey, get a job at that point.
Get a job. I'm like that. That's the
line. You want to throw around
popcorn? Pretty cringe. But if you're
doing that with a few of your homies,
that's
dope. Destruction of
property. P pretty cringe. I would say
destruction of property pretty cringe.
Like people thought it was crazy that
they were like, "Oh yeah, you need a
child to go watch the uh the Minecraft
movie." I lost faith in humanity.
Imagine we have to get accompanied by a
child to go watch a movie because they
think you're delinquent. That's crazy to
me. And I don't even blame them for
doing that. Now, where am I going to put
it? All things together, it's either
awful, like absolutely terrible, or it's
it's not great. It's there. There's no
scenario that it's great. I'm going to
put it in bad, but at least it's fun
bad. Like, it it it is. If the memes
around this IP weren't there, it would
just be what is this? What have you
given me? I'm putting it in bad because
that's the best way that I can describe.
It's a fun bad movie at times. It got
two chuckles out of me and that's about
it. Everything else did not care. It's
also a really boring movie. That's
another thing, bro. The Minecraft movie
is a weirdly boring movie, which I don't
understand, but I don't know. Bad. I'm
going end it right there. Devil May Cry
anime, the new one. I know there was
another one. Didn't watch it because I I
I just didn't. Um I'm not seeing a lot
of stuff talked about this. Okay. Is it
great? No. It's not bad. It's not a bad
anime. I really don't like like I
understand it doesn't look amazing. The
animation is iffy iffy at times, but
like it's an actionheavy anime. The I
like a lot of the criticisms I hear for
the Devil May Cry anime, it comes from
Devil May Cry fans. And I'm going to I'm
going to put my hand on your shoulder
when I tell you this. You are not in a
place to negotiate. Okay? As a casual
Devil May Cry fan, I am the captain now.
You want to know why I'm the captain
now? Devil May Cry as an IP is going out
of business. They had to make an anime
to get new people into the series so
they could maybe make another game. We
are talking about DMC getting rebooted
again because y'all just keep on letting
it go to [ __ ] So, this is what I got to
say. I understand the nitpicks that
you're going to do. Oh, well, I don't
like that they replace the voice actor
with Nero. Who cares? You guys have not
been able to keep the Devil May Cry
franchise alive. You don't get room to
negotiate. How about this? How about
this? We reboot the entire [ __ ]
franchise or you guys are okay with the
the little changes that we're going to
do to it. How about that? It's good
enough. It got immediately rebooted for
a No, not rebooted, a re renewed for a
second season. I dig it. I think it's a
solid 7.5 out of 10. A lot of the
problems I have with it is it starts
plot lines that we aren't going to get
finished until season 2 because they
were worried that they would they had to
get renewed for a season two. That's
essentially what happened. I'm putting
it in good. It's at the bottom of good,
but like there are literal leagues above
in terms of quality. Devil May Cry anime
versus the Minecraft movie. I will
defend that. It's like passable. Like it
works on its own. It's that good. I'm
going to put it 7.5. It's a good I would
call it good. The Fallout TV show, um,
one of the best, literally one of the
greatest adaptations I've ever seen.
However, I um I don't know if it was on
this platform. I think it might have
been on the old tick-talkie. Um I was in
a debate recently debating Fallout verse
Arcane. What is the better adaptation?
Um what's what do you mean? Oh, well
Arcane's over the lore. Fallout is a
game. No, it's not. The Fallout TV show
is literally not an adaptation of any
game. What game has Fallout adapted?
Name one. Name one. Is it Fallout 1 2 3
4 5? When I mean by five, I meant New
Vegas. If is it is it any of those? No.
Okay, then it's adapting the lore. It's
a game set in the world. That is
literally what Arcane is. And for that
reason, I put Arcane above Fallout.
Fallout's top three greatest adaptations
of all time. It is. Now, maybe top four
because there's one that's going to be
in here that legitimately I think needs
to get brought up more because I'm just
now finding this out. I like where do I
even start? I love the look. I think
they got the vibe down. I think the mood
is great. I think the pacing is actually
really good. It's a really good
introduction to the lore of Fallout
because it doesn't go into the crazy
stuff yet. I think season 2 we're going
to be getting Death Claws, the Enclave,
and that type of stuff, which admittedly
is going to get a bit crazier, but I
think you have to put Fallout. It's It's
a great adaptation. It's one of the
best. It is something that you can point
at and say that is how you adapt a video
game. You have to put it there. It's one
of my all-time favorites. It was It was
my I think it was not last year. No.
Yeah. Did it come out last year? I think
Yeah, it did come out last year. I would
put it in
my I think it was my third favorite
series of the year. Yeah. No, no, no. My
second favorite series of the year.
Yeah, bro. It's great. I have to put it
one. No question, bro. Great. I'm I'm
hyped for season 2.
Arcane. Listen, Arcane is still above
Fallout. It just is. I'm sorry. Now,
maybe Fallout is going to go
absolutely bad style with its next
couple seasons and spin-offs that they
will make because um Amazon be hungry.
Okay, Arcane is one of the greatest
animated series to ever be made. It's
that good. It's amazing. Like, like the
only criticism I heard of Arcane is that
there wasn't enough of it. me want more
movie is the literal criticism that I
hear on this. Oh yeah, they sped they
sped up to the end. Yeah, bro. It cost
[ __ ] $60 million to make a season of
this. It's like $15 million an episode.
That is how expensive this series is. So
yeah, they could have done a season 3.
No, think about this. The series is so
good that people are angry we didn't get
a season 3 cuz they ended too quickly.
That is the criticism of Avatar the Last
Airbender. And that is arguably still
the greatest animated series to ever be
made. I am putting Arcane in the grapes
above Fallout on the lore aspect. People
get angry about the lore, too. Guess
what? Arcane is the new lore now. Arcane
is the story. You want to know why?
League of Legends is notorious for
rewriting their lore. This is the third
time they've rebooted it. Why? They have
no clue what they're doing. But Arcane
is good, so I let it pass. The Mario
movie, not the other one, the animated
one.
Um, like I have I just have to
acknowledge that this is is it one of
the greats on a money point 100%. Like
it's at the same it's it's the same
thing with Minecraft. Well, not the same
thing. Minecraft is just bad, but it
made a [ __ ] ton of money. So, I don't
really feel bad. The Minecraft movie
goes above the Devil May Cry anime. Um,
I think it's funny that Chris Pratt is
cast as Mario for nothing more than the
meme. Like, no, he is. That's the fact,
bro. He is cast he's casted as Mario for
the meme. And who said Nintendo doesn't
have a sense of humor? Me. Because I
don't think Nintendo cleared that. I
think they had to lie to them to get it.
But on a real note, bro, I'm putting
Nintendo honestly, not Nintendo, the
Mario movie above Neville May Cry. Top
of good. You have to be better than the
Mario movie to me to get in the great.
That is how I view it. And I think I
actually think that's an extremely valid
opinion. I think you could do more with
the Mario movie, but it's Mario, so you
are kind of capped at how good it is.
I've already said I think Mario as like
a franchise. I say overrated because it
literally makes billions upon billions
of dollars, but like there's not a lot
of substance to it. It's just Mario. I
can't really judge the the antiquities
of it. It's [ __ ] Mario. That is how I
view it. Yeah. In putting it's good.
It's really good. Yeah. It's not great.
Arcane and Fallout are great. If I have
to explain that to you. I mean, I think
I already did. Cyberpunk edge. Oh, this
is another one. The reason I'm making
this is cuz I finished
edggerunners.
Bro, that's so sad, dude. Like, I I had
an idea of what was going to happen cuz
I was so late to the party. Um, for
anyone who doesn't know, so Cyberpunk,
the video Cyberpunk 2077 had such a
disastrous launch that they got
resurrected by an anime that got
commissioned as literally a last effort.
Cyberpunk Edgeunners is a story set
within the world of Cyberpunk, which is
literally the same thing as Arcane and
Fallout. It's the same thing. Okay? And
it was so good, it got people to play
the game again. And here's the thing,
dude. It is so good. It's so good, dude.
Now, no, no, no. This might be seen
blasphemous. I still enjoy Fallout a
little bit more because I was watching
the last episode of Cyberpunk literally
through tears. Maybe I'll watch it back
again and, you know, not cry this time.
But I'm going to put Cyberpunk Edgunners
bottom of great. Yeah, Cyberpunk
Edgeunners is better than Mario. Does
anybody actually debate that? No, no,
no. So, Cyberpunk Edge Runners. Sorry,
there was a weird cut there. My dogs are
going ballistic. Okay. Cyberpunk
bedrunners goes above Mario. Yeah, I
think they were trying to correct me
because I was trying to say there's no
debate. No, there's debate there, but
this is again in my personal opinion.
Mario's kind of capped at how good it
can be. It is. It is kind of capped.
Cyberpunk Cyber Punk's really good.
Cyberpunk Edge Runners is real is
amazing. I'm putting it at the bottom of
great. I think that's valid. Um, Mario
made a [ __ ] ton of money. That's your W,
but we'll get into a an actual [ __ ] ton
of money in a second. Halo, the TV show
from Paramount
Plus. Actually the worst thing I've ever
seen. Oh my gosh, bro. Okay, so let me
get this straight. You have the entire
now. Okay, crass out. Crass out. Okay.
Okay. I'm just going to warn you. There
is going to be a crass out here. So if
you're listening to me in ear in
headphones, earbuds, you might want to
turn it down just a smidgen. Just a
smidgen. Okay. Or don't. So you can feel
my raids coming through. Okay. So Halo
has the entire lore of the forerunners,
the flood, the humans, the human
covenant war, the civil wars that
humanity was having before the covenant
war. They have all of that to play with.
Okay. You even have like this um the
morality of like AI warfare, the
morality of warfare and what like the
means to an end. At what point does that
become immoral? what what like mankind
has done to go to war with the covenant
that we've opened this box that will
probably never be closed. Okay, so you
have all of that. Okay, but okay, I'm
feeling that venom coming up for a
second.
Okay, you have all of that, but this is
what you
do. Okay. Yeah, let's [ __ ] make
Master Chief a stereotypical super
soldier where he takes off his [ __ ]
helmet every other scene and then we
literally get a scene of Master Cheeks.
Okay, that is what we get. Okay. And
well, I wanted to do my own thing with
the Halo
IP. Don't You're not the one that's
talented. You are not good enough. You
are not. Somebody your your mom should
have told you that when you were a child
and told you to do literally anything
other than this. You are not the thing
we are going to see. Well, I just wanted
to put my own artistic rendit. No, you
don't do that. Don't do that. You want
to know why?
Halo solos literally everything that you
have ever made. You want You know what
your job is? You want to know what your
job is? Let me remind you what your job
is. Well, I'm a director. You are
adapting
something. You are adapting a game into
a series. What do you think that means?
So, I'm going to direct I don't want
your own spin. I don't even want to know
you exist. I don't want to know anything
about you. I don't care what you want to
do. Your job is to adapt that as close
as
poss. That is what you do. So I'm not
supposed to put my own spin on
it. Yeah, that is the point. Halo
literally cannot get improved on. It
can't. And well, how do you know? I know
it's not going to be you that does it. I
know it's not going to be you. You want
to know how I know it's not you? Cuz
what the [ __ ] did you make? What did you
actually make, bro? On Param. How you
make the worst thing on Paramount Plus?
That's like me saying, "Oh yeah, bro.
Hell is awful. It's painful. This is the
worst thing
here. It's in a sea of garbage. You have
somehow made the thing that literally
nobody will
touch. That's your vision, bud. That's
what you did. I never want you. I would
I don't make anything ever again. Ever
again. Never. No. You get a different
job. Go become like I don't even know. I
was going to say like an electrician.
No, because an electrician has to be
smart enough to figure out that Oh,
yeah. If I touch these wires together,
I'll be electrocuted. I think you would
try to do your own thing and light the
[ __ ] house on fire. What the hell,
bro? That's so bad. What is this? That's
actually what my reaction. What is this?
Awful. This might be the worst one. I'm
just saying, bro. The World of Warcraft
movie. Here's the problem with this. I
respect how much they committed. And
there there's going to be something I'm
going to cover later on that I have
literally zero respect for cuz they do
not commit to the IP. And if you're not
going to commit to the thing that you
are adapting, then you might as well
have just not made that. And here's the
problem. Have you ever noticed? Uh, and
we're not going to do it for World of
Warcraft. We're covering it in a later
one. Okay. I'm actually going to move it
up so we can cover it.
Um, it's it's not terrible, but know it
is bad. It's bad, but it's
not it's a bomb, but it's like Here's
the thing, bro. Imagine if the Minecraft
movie tried to take itself too
seriously. People would hate it. The
Minecraft movie is memeing and the World
of Warcraft one like I'm putting it
in. Bro, this is actually kind of tough.
Do I put it in mid or bad? The Minecraft
movie is admittedly worse. Like, no. No.
But this is what I mean by that. The
Minecraft movie, if you judge it as a
film, is a three out of 10. The World of
Warcraft is like a four or a five. But
you will have I'm going to say it, bro.
The Minecraft movie is more boring than
the World of Warcraft movie. And if you
don't think that, you didn't watch it.
I'm putting it in mid. Now, people can
go on the lore. I'm not aware of the
lore of World of Warcraft. I'm going to
put Warcraft in mid. I I am. I just am.
It gets way worse.
Pokemon. So, when I talked about this
last time, I said something that was
objectively wrong, and this is what I
said. Well, technically, the cards came
out first and the anime, then the games
came out. Um, no. The game came first
and then the cards did and then the
anime did and then the movie did. Okay,
so I'm just going to say this right now.
This is the objective goat of all
adaptations. Nobody will ever [ __ ]
surpass this thing ever, ever again.
This will Oh my god. Do you have any
idea how much it hurts me to say that?
That Pokemon is the single greatest
adaptation of a game to ever and will
ever exist. It improve billions billions
of dollars. literally been they're
printing money. They they they are
taking money that doesn't even exist yet
and it just spawns in inside of Pokemon.
That think about that, bro. The
an the game spawned an anime that did no
spawned cards that did so well that the
anime was printing money. I'm put It's
the best. It's the You have to do it. I
don't even like it that much. I have to
put it in great because they are they
found the it's a GTA 5 infinite money
glitz over and over and over and over
again
over it makes me mad that that you'll
work for your entire life. A [ __ ]
Pokemon card is worth more than you and
it's because of this. Insane, dude. The
Doom movies. How How do you f this up?
Like listen, I'll do a full Doom lore
video. I have that in the works. I've
started work on that. Um, so, okay,
imagine everything that I could say
about a Doom, about like the Doom guy,
um, fights off these demons, goes in the
hell, fsights for multiple eons, okay,
and then he gets abducted by the Knight
Sinels. This is before that, so I'll
give I'll give them grace cuz that that
didn't happen yet. But like, you take
all of that and this is what you got.
Demons and they they just do them. That
is what that's literally what this is.
And it's The Rock doing
the awful, awful, hate, hate, hateful.
There's hate in my heart for this movie.
What is this? What is It's one of the
worst I've ever seen. Will you have fun
with it? No. You will be laughing at it.
It's a fun It's not even fun bad.
Minecraft is more fun bad than this,
bro. It's just What is this? The Monster
Hunter movie. Some of y'all forgot that
this was a thing and I just resurrected
a memory for you. This is what I mean by
they didn't commit to the bit. Okay, let
me
explain. Think of what's going on inside
of Monster Hunter. And I will admit the
lore of Monster Hunter is downright
insane. But imagine everything that you
could have done. Like, oh yeah, there's
these hunters guilds that go to take out
these monsters because the monsters are
[ __ ] with the ecosystem and we have
to coal them in order for the ecosystem
to be well. Okay. And then you took all
of that and it was, oh yeah, in the
Middle East, um, there's a portal that
spawns in into a separate universe where
these marines go in and they become
monster hunters. That literally is not a
thing inside of this universe. They
could not commit to the bit because they
were afraid that it was going to
intimidate people. And I don't respect
them for that. Now, um, I fell asleep
during this movie. It's boring. It's
bad. There's no memes. They didn't even
commit. Say what you want about the
Minecraft movie. They commit to the bit.
Monster Hunter didn't and I'm putting it
in. What is this? What is this? That is
Yes, I have to put it there. The
Borderlands movie are the worst movie of
last year. Um, and it is. It It's so
bad. everything that Borderlands is.
Take that and just delete it from your
psyche and then make it more boring and
worse and then put in Kevin Hart because
Kevin Hart is completely and utterly
lost and is less funny than Jack Black.
And yeah, I know. I'm going to say that.
I'm going to say that, bro. Kevin Hart
fell off like he did. Like, no, no, no.
Like, no. I'm being for real here. If I
told you Kevin Hart and Dwayne Lorac
Johnson, who's going to fall off first?
and I told you Kevin Hart was, you'd be
like, "What?" Yes, bro. Dwayne Norox
John um Dwayne Johnson, his steroid
cycle lasted longer than Kevin Hart's
movie career. That's crazy. And I know
that sounds like a lot of sade, and it
kind of is, but I hate this movie. And
it's insulting to me that a movie
studio, it can just stack up a movie
with stars and then throw it at me like
lunch meat and say, "Eat, boy." and then
expect me to like it. No, it's [ __ ]
awful. It's disgusting. I feel insulted
by its very creation. Oh, and you know
what makes me There's going to be a
little bit of venom coming up. There
going to be a little bit of venom coming
up. I'm just going to tell you. And that
venom that usually means I'm going to
roast you a little bit. Do you know what
gives me so much pride, man? What makes
me feel so good? Oh, I love when these
executives at these big movie
corporations come out and say, "Well,
can you give the movie a chance? Stop
writing it
off. Oh, it makes it Dude, I I don't
pray on the downfall of people. I don't
I don't I pray on the downfall of
products, bro. I was so happy that this
failed so badly that people actively
were like, "Oh, yeah, bro. Get a tax
write off on that. Yeah, use that."
Yeah. Let that remind you how bad this
was. This was awful, bro. Downright
insulting to my very core. Oh my gosh.
Give it a chance. No, bro. Absolutely
not. Garbage. Garbage. Absolute
insulting piece of lunch meat. This is
This is like I want a sandwich and that
sandwich is the Borderlands movie based
off the [ __ ] game. And then you hear,
"Okay, here's some [ __ ] baloney that
I spit
on. Take it." Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad this
[ __ ] failed, dude. What is that?
Honest. What is this, bro? Insulting to
my core. The FNAF movie. Now, this is
the exact opposite of the Monster Hunter
movie. They commit to the bit. Now, the
only criticisms that I've heard that I
do respect is that it's not as dark as
the game is. And my argument there is,
what do you what do you mean? It is It's
dark, but they You ever seen those
movies where they edit like a Marvel
movie into a horror movie? This feels
like it was way darker and way scarier,
but they edited it to be a bit more
funny. And is it a good movie? Not
really. It's mid. It's a very mid movie,
but they commit to the bit at least, and
I respect him for it. But the Minecraft
movie is a three out of 10. Warcraft is
a is a four. This is a five. But they
put my homie MattPad in there, the guy
who literally got me into YouTube. So,
I'm gonna put him in mid. It's a mid
movie, but I'm curious what they're
gonna do with the second one. If they
make a sequel to the Minecraft movie, I
genuinely would care less than a sequel
to the FNAF movie. That's how Yeah, I'm
going to do that. The Sonic trilogy. We
just have to admit that this might
actually be one of the greatest gaming
adaptation and trilogies of all time.
Like it is actually absurd that like
they have legitimately improved. No, the
Sonic the the worst movie of the trilogy
is the first one. Then they got better
in the second one to the point where the
third movie is actually good. Like it's
a good movie. Like we went from a six, a
seven. I would legitimately argue that
the new Sonic movie is like a 7.5 and 8
out of 10. You will have fun with the
movie. And at the end of the day, that's
kind of how I judge a good movie or not.
I'm putting it in in good above the
Devil May Cry anime. Yes. And some
people are going to say, "Wait, you put
the DMC anime over FNAF?" Yes. I think
the DMC anime is actually a better and
more enjoyable product than the FNAF
movie. The FNAF movie is a bad movie
that I respect. Same thing with
Minecraft, but I think the Minecraft
movie is legitimately worse. So, yeah,
the Assassin's Creed movie.
Um, here's the thing, bro. I Here's a
hot take. People say the Assassin's
Creed movie is barely Assassin's Creed.
I would argue the Assassin's Creed movie
is more Assassin's Creed than Assassin's
Creed Odyssey. They had more like
connective tissue to the game lore than
that entire game did. Now, this is my
hot take. I think Assassin's Creed lore
is actually awful. It's [ __ ]
terrible. Look at No, no, no. The lore
of these games are so bad they just make
up rules. Brother, we are literally nine
games into the saga and they're actively
mcguffining things into existence
because they don't know how their own
universe works. Yes, that is how I feel.
I don't I barely blame the movie at this
point. The movie tried their damn best,
but it's a bad movie, too. Why? Because
admittedly, the best part about the
Assassin's Creed games is the gameplay.
this lore and story outside of Black
Flag and Assassin's Creed 3. They're all
fairly mid. I know people's going to
bring up
Azio. I'm sorry. Assassin's Creed 1 is
legitimately an awful game. Assassin's
Creed 2 was decent, but like they were
improving on it. Like I have a lot of
hot takes about Assassin's Creed. I'm
putting it in bad one of the Yeah. below
the Minecraft movie. Why? Minecraft is
The Minecraft movie is boring at times.
The Assassin's Creed is literally a
nothing burger of a movie 90% of the
time and then it does something. So, I'm
putting it in bad. The Last of Us TV
show. Woo. Listen, people think I hate
on it. No. No. Well, I do hate on it
because I'm critical because I think
Last of Us one is one of the greatest
games ever made narratively, and I do
not like the second game. However, I
think The Last of Us TV show actually
did a really good job. Is it one of the
great? I'm I'm going to say no. I'm
going to say no. Is it good? Yes. I
would put
like Listen, yes, we know the casting
isn't that good. Bella Ramsay as Ellie
is good if she's 14. I'm sorry. Bella
Ramsey does not play a 21-year-old. Why?
Because she looks 15 now. That like, no
joke, that's what it is. I I cannot I
can't buy it. Oh, well, I'm sorry. What?
We're going to cover the Uncharted movie
in a second, but like, let me get this
straight. Let me get this straight. So,
I'm I I am a good person if I point out
that Tom Holland doesn't look like
Nathan Drake and that's a bad casting
and Mark Wahberg would have legitimately
been better. But I'm a bad person if I
say Bella Ramsay is not a good pick for
Ellie. I'm sorry, that's a double
standard. I don't respect your opinion.
On a real note, that's how I feel about
it. Then you No, no, no. For real. If
you think I'm If somebody's a bad person
pointing out that Bella Ramsey as Ellie
is not a good casting, I never want to
hear you criticize a casting again in
your life. You that card is now revoked
from you. I don't want to hear your take
on it anymore. It's It's not great. It's
just not. You can say that and it's
still good. That's a
take. But I'm putting Last of Us.
Honestly, I'm putting it in good above
the
DMC. Ah, bro. Sonic is so tough to beat
though. Sonic is so tough, bro. They're
tied in my They're tied. Let's see until
the season 2 ends and then I could put
it above the Uncharted movie. Speak of
the devil. Um, bad. Just bad. It's just
bad. Um, Tom Holland is a horrifically
bad pick for Nathan Drake. Mark Wahberg,
who is in this movie, by the way, would
legitimately would have been better.
It's just Tom Holland doing Tom Holland
things and in between filming Spider-Man
movies. That is what this movie is. I
don't like it. Um, it has a few The best
parts about this movie is they reference
to everything. No, no. I want you to
think about this. It doesn't even adapt
a game. It just takes all of the
nostalgia of three games and stacks it
in the one movie and that's it. I'm
putting Uncharted into bad under it's
better than Assassin's Creed. Better
than Assassin's Creed. That's how I
would put it. The Secret Level um series
by Amazon. Now, this one's just a bunch
of like Love, Death, and Robots, but for
video games. Um, I actually think it's
pretty good. I do. I think it's pretty
good. I think some of the episodes are
objectively weak, and some of them are
great. I think their Warhammer episode
is awesome. I think that needs to be a
full series, and that would go in great,
but then there's other episodes that I
just think are [ __ ] boring. Okay,
that that's I think their whole
PlayStation episode is dog [ __ ] And I'm
going to put secret level because I'm
taking the average of two of what is the
actually it's either bad or great. And
if I'm taking that average then I'm
going to put it in the middle of mid but
it goes above World of Warcraft. It has
episodes that are legitimately amazing.
But then it has some that are just bad.
So I'm taking in between middle of mid.
I think that's valid. Yes. I'll take the
FNAF movies more enjoyable at time.
That's tough. They're tied. They're
tied. There's some episodes of Secret
Level where I would just rather watch
the FNAF movie, but then there's other
episodes that I would legitimately
rather watch that than The Last of Us
series. That is how far it ranges, bro.
The Castlevania series from Netflix. I'm
I'm lumping in Nocturn and the
Castlevania. Um, one of the all-time
best, actually. I think it is. It is the
one of the only adaptations that I could
say is so superior to the original
source material that it's practically a
different thing. Like people forgot that
Castlevania was a video game. That's how
good this was. I'm putting Castlevania
and like I don't It's a uh vampire
hunting family, Dracula, his son. And I
It sounds boring. It's amazing. The
story line is good. The animation is
perfect. It's great. I Yeah, it is
great. I'm putting Castlevania above
Cyberpunk Edge Runners. Yeah, that's a
hot take. That's a hot take on standby,
bro. Noturn and Castlevania goes above
edgeunners in my eyes. The Mortal Kombat
movie. This suffers the same problem as
the Monster Hunter movie. They have all
of this lore, but instead they do this
thing. They don't commit to the bit, and
I do not respect it. They're making
another one, and I'm here. Okay, the the
second Mortal Kombat movie, no joke,
just looks like a reboot of the first
one, but they don't want to do that cuz
they're bringing in some actors from the
other ones. So, Mortal Kombat 2, I feel
like, is going to be a soft reboot cuz
the main character from the first one
isn't showing up again. And the new main
character is um Johnny Cabes. And I dig
it and I have more faith than that. But
like, let me get this straight. You have
the entirety of the beef between
Scorpion and Subzero, and that literally
only gets five minutes of screen time,
and it's dog [ __ ] I I I hate it. I'm
put I hate Oh, this movie is actually
bad now that I think about it. I'm
putting it above Uncharted, but this
movie makes me mad cuz they have
everything about Mortal Kombat. Like,
just adapt Mortal Kombat 9. Honestly, if
you just adapt Mortal Kombat 9, it would
have been way better than what this was.
Everything about it is mid. The
storyline is mid. Even the choreography
is pretty mid. Kano is the best part
about this movie cuz guess what? He's
the closest to what he is in the game.
And Scorpion is dope when he's on the
screen for like 3 minutes. So yeah, bad
Super Mario Bros. that live action
movie. I um I can't believe Nintendo
legitimately gave their blessing for
this to be made. I'm sure there's lore
behind why this was created, but it is
just bad. Like, it was so bad it stopped
it stopped Nintendo from trying to make
anything. Is it worse than Halo? Um, no.
Why? Halo had one of the greatest
stories ever, and they just didn't do
it. Mario is just an abomination, but
it's capped out. It's bad. Bad. Halo is
worse because Halo is insulting to my
very core being. This is just bad cuz
it's ugly. So, I think that's valid.
Angry Birds. Isn't it kind of crazy that
Angry Birds, an app on your phone, had
this much of a hold over us? Bro, I
understand this. When I get old, I'm
going to bring up [ __ ] like Flappy Bird,
Five Nights at Freddy's, and Angry Bird.
Like these went so hard as a child that
you look back at again, you're like,
"How did this literally have us in a
chokeold?" And I know like this movie is
actually not bad. That's the crazy part.
The movie is not bad. It's just mid. I
would actually put it's an acceptable
film, but it's not good. It's just Five
Nights at Freddy's level, but FNAF does.
There's more of a there's li the the
lore of Angry Birds is the birds had
eggs, the pigs took them, and then they
fight. And this did more with that. Five
Nights at Freddy's has more lore. It's
confusing, yes, but they at least
adapted it pretty well. So, I'm put
Yeah. mid. It's It's a seven, but it's
not eh. There's not a lot there. There's
not substance. There's no meat. And
there you go. That is me ranking video
game adaptations. Okay. Um I think this
is like my first ever like remaster of a
old video because admittedly I should
have added way more and we are longer
than the original video already. And uh
yeah, bro, this one felt good. Listen,
when I'm about to rant, when I'm about
to cr out, I'm going to be real. I treat
that as like that little scream therapy
that a bunch of like middle-aged moms do
when they hate their life and their
children. So, they just go scream in the
woods and then they go pay a chick $150
to do it. That is how I treat these
videos. Uh, understand this. Part of the
reason I like I make YouTube videos is
when I'm old and dementia ridden and
like fickle, I'm going to look back on
these YouTube videos and I'm going to be
like, "Who's this guy? I really like
him." Like, no joke, bro. That's if I'm
an old [ __ ] man, 75 years old, I'm
going to look back at these YouTube
videos and be like, "Who's this guy?" I
almost hope I get dementia so I can have
that experience. But yeah, where was I?
