Live-Action Zelda Movie Announced. I Have Some Thoughts.

 


So. 


That happened. 


The day that's been memed for over two decades has finally come. Nintendo officially announced a live-action Zelda movie. And it's safe to say, the reception so has been very, very negative. 


The people involved are... questionable, to say the absolute very least. 

Sony in general has had a very messy track record in film, Spider-Verse and Hotel Transylvania aside. 

Let's start with the director, Wes Ball. 


Take a look at his filmography so far:



Woof. He's made mediocre at best YA fiction slop, and that's more or less all he has to his name. 

Not promising at all. 


Next, the writer, Derek Connolly:






Yeah, no. These are bad movies. Detective Pikachu is not a well written nor entertaining film at all. Jurassic World was a shitty soft reboot of the franchise and it failed miserably in its attempt. 

Even less promising. 


Finally, and worst of all, the producer, Avi Arad. 

First of all, just informing the people that don't know this, he's a shit person. He's a horrible human being who is actively a Zionist, pro-war, and has for many years been a supporter and best friend of the infamous Ike Perlmutter. Give them both a Google search if you want more info on those a-holes. Just terrible. 


Here's just a few of his "hit movies". 











Just complete and utter peak fiction, am I right? 

Also, LOL



It's over. 

Also (X2) no, no one is going to convince me Spider Man 3 is a good movie. You can't and you won't. Sorry. He's the very reason that movie is an absolute mess. 


I don't know what else to say here. The track records speak for themselves. 


I don't feel positive about this in any way right now. Miyamoto's words don't give me much confidence and I don't think the people involved give me much either, and I'm being very nice when i say that. 


Wes Ball's next film is a new installment in The Planet of The Apes franchise. And if you guys have seen the last trilogy, all three of them, especially the last two, that were directed by the auteur himself, Matt Reeves, then you'll know that they are absolutely phenomenal films. This guy has a big task ahead of him and I don't know how that's going to go. That movie is going to be make or break for him. 


This came off sounding a lot more negative than I actually meant for it to be. But obviously I want to be proven wrong. Please, please, please, let this be good. I want an awesome Zelda movie. We all do. 


All of that said, don't freak out. There's another Zelda movie in production. More on that in a bit.

RE: Midori.

  Sigh. I hate this type of stuff. Genuinely. Drama is something that stresses me out. I'm simply sharing information here. I have no beef nor any rivalry with anyone else that does this type of thing.  I've been made aware of some tweets that were made by famous SEGA/Atlus Insider, Midori.  In it, she makes some bold claims, claiming that I know one of her sources and that me/and or my sources are one in the same, and/or that I've STOLEN information.  No genuine offense to Midori, but these claims are absolutely baseless and simply untrue.  If I were to make a guess, I would say that she just noticed the undeniable similarities in our information and just panicked.  I can confidently say with a hundred percent certainty: We DO NOT share sources.  I've obviously been in this game much longer than she has, and the things I have gotten right over the years speak for themselves.  Some things to make abundantly clear:  I have been hearing about a new Phantasy Star game FOR

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo
