It's perfectly okay for me to say [bolded], and yes I understood your side of the argument several dozen pages back but I'm afraid you may have missed my point. Yes I understand its your precious shepard and seeing this film may somehow completly shatter your image of your shepard but... you are in the minority. The average fan (aswell as many hardcore fans such as myself and others here) want shepard in the movie and all these people posting that same regurgitated message on every page isn't going to help your cause and quite frankly its just annoying (as I stated and many others agreed too).3mii wrote...

Thats only the 5,000th person to post this exact same thing. You don't like it then don't see if its going to ruin your precious image your yooouuurr beellloved Shepard
But seriously people need to just suck it up. "Its not my shepard! Its not my shepard! Its not my shepard!" Wah wah wah. Its not mine either so why is it not a problem for me? Because I realise its not that big of a deal. Nobody outside of a couple thousand fanboys nobody wants to see a mass effect movie that isn't about sheppard so just deal with it.
Sorry, its just getting reeeaaall old.
For a lot of people, one of the main reasons they love ME so much is because of the depth of the character that YOU create and control that can be achieved. I personally think it's one of ME's biggest selling-points. It feels like you're watching a movie that you're in control of; you decide what happens to each character/event.
I don't think it's fair to say that people need to 'suck it up'. I may or may not agree with Shepard being in the film, but I can certainly understand why others may not want him/her in it. It's possible to make a 'connection' with your Shepard in-game, and make him/her whatever kind of person you want, and so for Bioware to go forward and say, "This is Shepard", may be a little strange for some people, because Bioware might portray Shepard as a Renegade male, whereas they see Shepard as a Paragon female.
Just wanted to point out the other side of the coin, because I don't think it's OK to say [bolded] and then not consider the other viewpoint. Plus, I'm a girl, and I really want to see this movie, Shepard or not - and I know other girls who do too. I'm so over the boy stereotype in the gaming world.
Yes, everyone has their own idea of Shapard but think about it this way when approaching the film: Some of the fun of the film could be us seeing what the director's idea of shepard is. They can go many different directions with him and we don't know exactly what route the story will take. We know the possibilities, we just don't know what their decisions will be. That, I think could be fun for the fans. We don't know if Ashley or Kaiden will live. We don't know if Wrex will survive. We don't know if Shepard saves the council. These are questions that many of us, definatly me, would look forward to seeing unfold. They could even suprise us with some of them. Plus Shpard's story has waaay more potential than something like the first contact war.
You can always have your Shepard in the game but I really don't see the harm in having a different version for the movie. There are several different versions of many beloved characters in comics and movies (James Bond, Batman, Joker, ect). So my final question: What's the harm? It I don't think it takes away from the game and I'm sure we can go back and play it and get the same great experience

They could do one on the recent turian civil war that's being documented on the cerberus network.
There are so many conflicts in the ME history that movie makers DON'T HAVE TO RELY on trilogies, or on Shepard. let's face it folks, Shepard is in one war out of many, even if it is an insanely important war.

and you know it. thats one of the reason even in yout comics you were careful to not counteract against possible individual shepard and choices.
me1 and 2 are already movies, and much better ones than what we get in the theater or tv. sorry guys thats a step back in originality but surely a step ahead for ea finances.
i happen to just remember the wing commander movie lol

here) want shepard in the movie" What!?!?!?! Could you please define a "average" and "hardcore" fan for me? Is it someone who's bought the books? All the DLC? Collector's Edition? Or maybe an "average" fan is quite simple a person who's spent over 100 hours playing this game? 'Cause I've done this. All of it. I've bought every DLC, the books, Collector's Edition AND played it so many hours with so many different Shepards whatever kind of Shepard would appear in this movie would have something in common with one/many of mine.
And yet I don't want a Shepard in the movie. Soooo.... I guess I'm not even a average fan then? Just some geeky girl who spend her indoor hours playing games and her outdoors doing farmlabour? Generally speaking though, people have and will post suggestions for Shepard, stating they don't want a Shepard in the movie, and write a whole lot of posts repeating what someone else has already said for the past 50-100 pages, no need to get so upset.
And no frakkin' need to bunch white and black together and say it's purple. That's just insulting.
Btw, if you play ME2 with a default Shepard, Wrex is dead, the alliance soldier of the same sex is dead, rachni dead, council dead. A whole lot more dead people. So, seeing as Hollywood is Hollywwod, they'd probably use some big-ass, CGed explosion to save everyone.

I kind of hope the story isn't about Shepard - too many differences in appearance/character/gender for too many people. Plus, what happens if they can't get actors like Seth Green to play the characters they voiced? No-one but Brandon Keener could do Garrus justice, either. I would not be the happiest of bunnies. And an unhappy bunny can be surprisingly scary.
So, personally, I'd love a story about the First Contact war, or young Anderson, or even something that takes place after whatever happens in ME3. That way, even if the film is crap, as games or books to movies often are, it won't affect our memories of this brilliant trilogy (yes, I'm assuming ME3 will be fantastic :-))
Btw, Rolson00 - definitely wouldn't object to seeing the delectable Mr Tennant in ME: The Movie, either.x
For sure the mass effect movie wont follow up mass effect 3, for sure (hopefully)
There would be no point in continuing the series in movie form(unless they first make a game about it)
but then it all goes back to your original words saying that they shouldnt make the movie about the games
it would be a dick move if they make a movie about AFTER ME3 withought first or after making a game (hopefully after)

I'm pretty sure the possibilities are limited to male and female human Commander Shepard.ltgonzo13 wrote...
Male of course... is other way possible?
I'm open to either so long as Tali is a female quarian.

Yea that movie was nice, but as far as believable i dont think so.... a race that can fly lightyears in seconds with a floating spaceship that we dont even know how it still has fuel and we keep them as slaves..... i think not. If anyhting they would have kept us for slaves.RageGT wrote...
After watching and rewatching many times District 9, it will be hard to make a Mass Effect movie as believable as that. Can't wait for Distric 10!

Personally, I'd rather see a bunch of non-trilogy movies set in the ME universe. And yes, First contact war would be awesome. Maybe the morning war too. A couple segments in the krogan rebellions, maybe even one on the post-apocalyptic setting of the post-prothean culling.
They could do one on the recent turian civil war that's being documented on the cerberus network.

+1. There are so many possibilities in the ME universe.
I , for 1, will not watch the movie if it is a bastardization of the trilogy.

Well, the way it's shown, with a mix of documentary style, does a lot to that. And the ones that got here were the lower caste. They didn't know even how to operate the ship. The"prawns" would be some kind of peons or workers. Except for one of the elite caste which dropped with a small ship as seen in the beginning.. on the tv news... which no one knew what it was. The one who had his kid here and after 20 years preparing, managed to escape back to the mothership and away... with a promise of return for his people.
Now, what will he bring along and what is he planning after witnessing 20 years of such nice welcome the earthlings prrovided, with all those experiments that he later found out about?

I hope it comes out alright. I'm sure it will, actually, with Muzyka, Zeshy and Casey on the team. They won't let anything too bad happen.
Also, don't make it in 3D. It would be awful. I'm so sick of the 3D fad.
Amen to that

Maybe a movie taking place before ME? After ME but before ME2? I'd prefer something like that with no shepard. That would add to the universe in my mind instead of what hollywood thinks makes the most interesting canon.
yes because i was always wondered what happened in between that but the question is, did enough happen?

I'd consider people posting on a mass effect board hardcore fans. An average fan would probably have only played through the game once, maybe twice then thats it.
Also I'm not upset, I have no idea what would give you that idea. I stated that its annoying to read the same post every page, which I think is perfectly understandable. Many others have expressed the same thoughts. You appear to be the one whos upset judging by the use of only pathos in your arguments.
