My prediction for Ash in the movie: They'll play up the religious angle to the point where she's really obnoxious about it, and they'll outright make her a bigot, since those are the things everyone obsesses about with her already. Even if Bioware doesn't do this, it's what Hollywood will do.

Then they'll send her off with the salarians, and have her die on Virmire as a "form of redemption" for the "unlikable" character.

What? I have an M!Shenko runthrough ya know. Only reason I don't have a fem!Shepley (aside from, ya know, not being into girl-on-girl.) is because Ash isn't romancable on femshep. But She's BFFed, Good enough for me. :)

... *points to door.* Get out. This instant. Never ever, EVER say The Ashley is a 'Bigot'!


lol
sorry. But seriously, don't think like that.

Though unfortunately, my money says her characterization is gonna be severely reduced. All of them are in favour of developing the not-so-platonic relationship between Bitc - I mean - Liara and Shepard.

PMC, I agree I would rather see them focus on something earlier than ME1. First Contact War, Skylian Blitz etc. Have Anderson or Sanders as the heroes and explore their relationship cause everyone else has too many variants in ME and so everyone can't be pleased with what happens. Or have a very young Shepard before he meets the crew of the Normandy and so he wouldn't have to have a relationship or if he did it could just have been a fling or something and so he could still be single going into ME1


I'd prefer no Shepard in the movie ... I would prefer to see the story around John Grissom and the First Contact War. You would also get to know Anderson better as well ... or they could focus it on the story of Anderson and Saren. Just leave Shepard alone.

@DWH; Bioware do that and I'm done with them for real. Most days I read enough idiotic posts saying she's a racist. Hollywood make her ooc for drama, F*** that, I say. That's one of the worst thing they could do is to make her ooc over some BS like that.

Damn, sometimes this thread moves waaaay to fast for me to keep up with. Just a few points after scanning what I missed.

-Ya, Ash got sexed up. Just go look at some reference models, and you can tell her body got sculpted to fit her busty new armor, instead of the other way around.

-The stubble looks good on Shep. Very manly.

-survivor_686: really digging the visceral combat! Ash kicking ass.

-If the movie's any good, I could probably live with it, maybe imagine it's just another playthrough. And my attempt at being optimistic about Ash: everyone on the crew is unique in some way, be it species or role in the story. Kaidan would be a second human male soldier character, and we can't have that. Ash would mix it up. And besides, I always felt the hot alien babe was fine for a Captain Kirk/James bond type adventure, but for a relationship I think Ash being human would be more relatable. IMO, anyway.

Obvious is obvious.

To be honest that's already set in stone. Y'all don't know it yet.

Ash is dying. Liara is moving in.

DWH, I think what you've said is more likely to happen than not. Play up the hatred and have everyone (except us) practically cheering when she dies. But it's because of that issue that I actually feel if they ever make the movie it won't be based on the games cause there's simply no way to win.

Example. but if Kaidan dies on Virmire Shepard would still have two strong male squadmates in Wrex and Garrus. Liara also already qualifies for the biotic and because it's a sci-fi film they'd probably focus alot on bringing the aliens especially if they have those biotic powers. I'm not saying I disagree with what you say cause I basically agree, I'm just looking at it from another angle.

Damn, forgot. Always thought the idea of Kaidan being willing to sacrifice himself for Shep and Ash made for a pretty powerful moment. Adds weight to the relationship.

Bah, there's just so much more to Ash's relationship than Liara's, imho.

I could have create a whole quote tree from the various responses I have read lately but decied just ot make this a general post . First of all I have No problems with anything about ash or miri personaly dess or the way the used or didnt use thier personality sensuality or body. I thought they were both well done .

It amazes me when I see people complaining about the way the women look or are dressed especially when referring Ash or Miri. attaire. The way Miri uses her body and sensuality is great and relistic to her peronanlity and " real women" as well. There are real women that are alike to both ash an miri.

Really Real women do the same thing and peole talk about them the same way. "omg i can see why she ways hired ..." "i bet she was hired just for her skill". I was let go for no real reason a job years back and my replacement was a attractive female's its no secret that some women are able to use other "resources "

Look at exotic dancers and escorts. I actually have repect for the ones that willing choose to o that as a profession becase they break aways from what is " the natural order " and use thier natural gifts to make more money per hour than the average person does . The top ones could problem even match a top corp exec in pay an work less hours doing it. The 9-5 world is a slave market and i applauded anyone that free themselves of it .

Seriously the way people that complain about women being dress to sexy and using thier sexuality is amazing.

Would the complainers be happier if game companies dressed all the women in Volos type armour?



**fixed error



The way I see it is if I'm not getting banned for what I'm posting, then I ain't overreacting, but hey. I'm stating my opinion on the subject whether people think I'm raging red about it behind a desk or not (which I'm not). ;)

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to see Ashley with her hair down as much as the next guy. From my perspective it could have been a lot worse. They already blew up her boobs to the maximum, but still it could have easily been a lot worse. I'm not really hating on her jacket, but wearing it into battle isn't what I imagined Ashley doing at all. She has more sense than that. she even says so herself. It feels like something the character herself wouldn't do. Yet BW still make it an option because it's considerably "sexy" for men players. Why do you think Ashley got a unique boob and body flaunting casual outfit, and Kaidan gets the standard? Yeah, because she's a female. Sexism.

I can honestly live with what they have done to Ashley. On Miranda though:

Miranda's attire is not well done, period. The appearance just lets down her intellect and damages her character for me. There is nothing smart about wearing a tight cat suit into battle, with heels. It's basically giving up practicality simply for sexy which is a bit (I apologize), bimbo-ish. You wear that into a fire-fight and you deserve to be shot up. Miranda is an extremely intelligent character, but wearing that into intense combat? Is not sensible in the sligtest. There's where it damages her character. I wish Bioware would respect her a bit more, instead she's become the sex symbol of ME. Those constant ass shots? Ridiculous come ME3. They're not even subtle in the slightest anymore. I'm sure any dedicated Miranda fan would agree with me. Miranda is an operative on the run, not a street dancer trying to make extra money. I can't even explain EDI's ******… like seriously? However, A woman can definitely be "sensual" and "sexy" there's a time and place for it. But the battlefield isn't it.

Who said anything about Volus armor? That's not practical or combat-ready either. (;







That was a well thought out response so here is my reply I hope you find it equally well written. Now ( I was going to add with all due respect here …but we all know how Ash would respond to that .LOL) as a disclaimer I am not trying to say your belief is wrong per say just trying to give you another perceptive to consider.

Your whole thought process in this statement if I understand correctly seem to revolve around body appearance and attire when you determine if something is deemed bimbo -ish an therefore makes the person seem less intelligent , professional and or respectable . As well as the combat practicality Please note this is what I am perceiving from reading your post hopefully I have understood you correctly, ,

This turned out to be a very long explanation but the underlying theme and context of this whole thought is of why I think a woman can wear this type of uniform and still command respect you feel is lacking in Miranda’s Me2 Attire …. I also cover my own version on justifying the practicality of it ….that was the fun part lol.


To start consider this Ashley picture…… yes i know its an extream example  but i am just trying to illistrate a point

Posted Image

Now if Bioware had made this Ashley’s default uniform as the did Miranda’s black and white in ME2 you probably would have been of the opinion that it was totally inappropriate and that they were demeaning and or exploiting her simply for the fact that she is a physically attractive woman and “that’s what would bring in more males to buy the game” -- also I am not disputing the “sex sells” concept. The reason companies do it is because it works that’s simply a fact , Its not a bad thing its simply human nature, I freely admit that it works on me as well.

If that concept or myself is perceived as “juvenile” for that so be it . That is another thing I have never understood why people think that some how age or immaturity has anything to do with buy something simply because it is some how connected to attractive women. In my opinion its like saying your immature for only ordering a hamburger if it has bacon and cheese on it .

For this example lets just say Ashley is real an she “chooses” to wear that uniform. She is proud of her toned fit body and she wants to appear and feel sexier, although this is completely unlikely for her personality just for a moment indulge me and consider that Perhaps she had decided she after meeting Miranda she wanted to use her sex appeal as and additional tool when dealing with people,

How has that uniform changed her as a person, She is the same strong independent woman that was in that ….armour in me1 (really wasn’t a fan of that) Nothing about her personality , humour or conversations she had with you have changed, So its my opinion that if all things are the same an the only thing to have changed is her attire or body the “core person” all that she is still in mathematical terms still a “constant” just as 1 +1 = 2 therefore it seems logical that how your “feel” and about her perceive her should be the same as it was in ME1 no matter what attire she is dressed in.

For a non-game related example of my above point, Say I was to do a very formal and important sales presentation to a group of high level business people , Say a board of directors. Everyone is wearing 1000 business suits and I walk in wearing shorts and a very “loud” unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt with a pair of sunglasses on the top of my head. What judgements would the people in the room make about me ?

Me walking into the board room without a suite is similar to the point you wer trying to make on the battle field.

Most likely they would not take me seriously , think I am unprofessional, a flake, a slacker and various other things and which most likely means that they have now deemed me unfavourable to do business with before I have even opened my mouth . Yet if I walk in wearing a 1000 suit the perception would be completely the opposite,

So the question is how has my attire changed the words that I speak or the value of the product I am presenting? That again is another constant so it should not matter what my attire is because the core of what I am saying is a constant stays the same no matter what clothes I have on.

Peoples perceptions a lot of the time are rarely the fault of the actual person being perceived its more of what society has conditioned them to think, Basically to some extent we are all indoctrinated into thinking along similar social paths. To clarify this point further what I mentioned exotic dancers and escorts in my recent posts it is my understanding that vast majority of them try to keep their profession a “secret” because society has deemed that adult entertainment of that sort unacceptable , ****ty, exploitative, tramppy and various other non flattering words. The are not supposed to use their bodies as as a tool” or “resource.” and not supposed to encourage the “sex image” of women that is prevalent in todays society. As I said before I don’t share societies opinion on this either and do respect them for their profession an breaking the normal 9-5 slave system the world is indoctrinated in.

Also It is also my opinion that even if a game was made where all the female characters had sexy bodies were dressed in revealing and provocative sexy ways. The chance that I would purchase it would go up exponentially as I mentioned before that is a very good way to attract sales in general. It does not however mean that I would feel the same way about the characters the way I feel towards Ashley and Miranda.

Take into consideration Ashley Miranda Tali and Liara. Now while each one is no doubt physically attractive , I am not at all romantically attracted to Tali or Liara. Why is that ?

This brings me to my point that physical beauty and attire alone is not capable of making someone “romantically attractive”. My personally theory on romantic attraction is that it takes three separate and equally important parts . Physical attraction, personality attraction and “spark” if one of those are not present it falls apart like a house of cards if you remove a structural piece. My point is it does not matter what Tali or Liara wear or if they wear anything at all. While I may find them attractive I am not romantically attracted to them.

In conclusion I am trying to make is the way someone is dressed does not change them at the core. Its not matter of a persons body or attire is appropriate or provocative. It does not change a persons base attraibutes or core personality. Therefore someone perceiving them that way need to change their way of thinking instead of the other person needing to change their attire.

The way a person dresses should not determine a person worth or stature or intelligence. If you think someone is attractive personality wise and are attractive to their core while dressed appropriately. Then their attire if they should start dressing provocatively it should not change this base opinion .

However romantically if the physical, romantic or spark “cards” should ever fall out of the house that can alter the perception of a romantic relationship and bring it tumbling down which accounts for the soaring divorce rate in society today.


Ok……now fun part …how to I justify the sexy outfits in battle instead of bulky armour like Me1.

I make my own back story for it of course!

For example I justify Miranda black and white outfit as a secret Cerberus project to make a light weight heavy armour alterative . Her attire actually had the protection value of the best heavy armour available. Ashley red and white outfit was also the first successful attempt at the alliance making a similar set of armour based on stolen Cerberus designs. This was superior to normal heavy armour because it gave all the protection of heavy armour without the encumbrance allowing them to have the best of both worlds the protection of heavy armour and the speed and agilely of normal clothing. Which in turn improve their battlefield performance.

How did I come up with that . The Mithril vest Frodo Baggins wore. If you recall it was lightweight but it absorbed the impact velocity and subsequent piercing force of an ogre impaling him with a spear bigger than he was without so much as a dent to the armour or injury to him.

So the conclusion to that is yes Ashley an Miranda have always been attired both practically and functionally as well abeing incredibly sexy while doing it .

As for all the body shots the camera did of Ash an Miri in the course of all three games was award winning I wish there was more in my opinion as well and did not tarnish my views of them at a core level. That is just my personal view though.

If anyone manages to make it all the way down her without falling asleep let me know what you think lol

Danny, they aren't human though. A strong, male human comrade wearing the same colours is what Shepard needs beside him in a fight, not another hot chick like Ash. Ash isn't needed if Shepard is a soldier and Liara is there.

We all know if there's a love interest in the movie it will be Liara. It is so god damn obvious. If you listen to genesis their favourism is undeniable and unreal for Liara. Hell you play the games, you see that quite clearly. For Ash? Not so much. Bioware push Liara on everyone. The movie will be no different.

Fair enough Example, you're right and I can't really argue back...damn it! lol

But I do agree with LoneStar, Kaidan sacrificing himself is more powerful and is something that can be a part of Ashley and Shepards relationship. But sadly there's no point thinking of that cause he'd romance Liara in the film as Example says

Bear in mind in order for Liara to be the romance, the team is gonna need to do the following
- Impressive CGI or makeup for Liara. Especially for the "romance" scenes. With bad CGI or makeup, it will leave audiences feeling awkward. Granted they might pull it off Avatar style, so who knows.

At this point the Mass Effect movie's status is kinda in the air. It all depends on how well the EC is received. If EC tanks, a significant portion of the audience for the film will be lost. Plus given Bioware's reluctance to declare any character canon, it will make a ME1 based film difficult.

If there is any ME film to be made it will be similar to the Dead Space or Halo animated films. Focused on side characters in the universe (probably a story on Anderson first).

If Ashley is to be featured, it will probably focus on her background and how she fights against discrimination in the Systems Alliance. Possibly even her experiences during the initial Geth attack.

PS: All this talk of Ash being killed on Virmire is making me itch for the security blanket (I kid...but seriously)

Thanks for reading my excerpt

I get conflicting reports on whether the movie will be based on the first game or not when I try a Google search. But there are at least some sources saying that it will be.

For what it's worth, the Mass Effect Wiki says it will be based on ME1.

I feel so out of place discussing a movie. lol

I just hope the whole idea dies in a fire. Even if the writing doesn't go as we would like it (not just as far as LI/Virmire goes either..), who's to say the acting..etc. will be any good? I mean Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne? WTF was wrong with James McCaffrey, Payne's VA, who is a damn good actor himself? Or how Wesker was portrayed in the Resident Evil movie, where he's just Horatio Caine's evil twin? I just have the fear that ME1 will be butchered beyond belief because Hollywood needs to add their little kinks to it. Instead of the incredible hero soldier, they'll probably turn Shepard into some sappy, touchy, feely type of person.

*sigh*

But is that saying it will be the story from Mass Effect or based on the story? You see I interpret that as being two different things but others may think differently. Plus when it says it'll be based on Mass Effect, is that Mass Effect in general or ME1? I think several people could read that and each come up with different ideas about what it means.

Edit: Went into the link on that page and when it says Mass Effect it just talks about ME1 so obviously that is what they're going for.

I don't mind them basing it on the game, infact I'd quite like to see that cause I want Shepard as the main character but if that means it'll be 2 hours of Liara worship while Ashley is some fanatical, racist who gets killed then I don't want to watch it. I'd even accept it if Liara is the LI but Ashley is portrayed well and survived Virmire. But I'd feel safer if it was based before ME1 because I have no say in that period of the history and so am happy for BW or Legendary Pictures telling me what happened.

For some reason this brings to mind the attempted Halo film adaptation. If there ever was a series that could lend itself to a movie, it was Halo (mind you it would have been very difficult in comparison to "regular" films). Sadly it went through a extended pre-production and then was dropped.

See: https://en.wikipedia...o_(series)#Film

Making film adaptations of videogames is extremely difficult. They tend to be very different from the series or just outright awful.

Imagine if Uwe Boll directed the either of those adaptations....

This is a sample from Duet Effect chapter 2, (M!Shep's POV)

Ashley: I'm glad you're ok, Commander. The crew could use the good news after what happened to Jenkins.
Shepard: Jenkins was a valued part of the crew. He'll be remembered.
Ashley: Part of me feels guilty. If Jenkins was still around, I might not be here.
Shepard: Don't beat yourself up over it. You're a good soldier from what I saw. Have the makings of a true marksmen.
Ashley: I... thank you sir. That means alot coming from someone who has earned a Star of Terra.
Shepard: Its just a piece of metal Williams. Just do me a favour in the future.
Ashley: Sir?
Shepard: As a rule of thumb, don't go near big glowing spires that tend to explode. It's not good for my health.
Ashley: *Slight nervous laugh.* I'll keep that in mind, sir.


@Survivor

A movie that spends that long in development will be terrible. No exceptions.

Shepard: Don't beat yourself up over it. You're a good soldier from what I saw. Have the makings of a true marksmen.
Ashley: I... thank you sir. That means alot coming from someone who has earned a Star of Terra.
Shepard: Its just a piece of metal Williams. Just do me a favour in the future.
Ashley: Sir?
Shepard: As a rule of thumb, don't go near big glowing spires that tend to explode. It's not good for my health.
Ashley: *Slight nervous laugh.* I'll keep that in mind, sir.


@Survivor

A movie that spends that long in development will be terrible. No exceptions.


Ash can't help it, she's a clutz. ^_^

@Rudy - nothing against the Dominator, just caught me off guard to see a hockey reference in the Ash thread. :DJagr came back yes, but he's 6 or 7 years younger than Dom. Gotta remember Dom didn't go out of the NHL in style, getting replaced in the playoffs and all. Don't know if anybody would be interested in him.

I feel so out of place discussing a movie. lol

I just hope the whole idea dies in a fire. Even if the writing doesn't go as we would like it (not just as far as LI/Virmire goes either..), who's to say the acting..etc. will be any good? I mean Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne? WTF was wrong with James McCaffrey, Payne's VA, who is a damn good actor himself? Or how Wesker was portrayed in the Resident Evil movie, where he's just Horatio Caine's evil twin? I just have the fear that ME1 will be butchered beyond belief because Hollywood needs to add their little kinks to it. Instead of the incredible hero soldier, they'll probably turn Shepard into some sappy, touchy, feely type of person.

*sigh*


:crying:But my Shepard is a sappy, touchy, feely type person....

I kid, but you hit the nail on the dot. With Shepard capable of so many orientations (Paragon, Renagade, Paragade, Renagon, Neutral, Hero, Butcher, Survivor, Monster, Lover, Fighter, Soldier, Vanguard, incopetent dullard....etc), its gonna be impossible to create one Shepard that everyone is gonna agree with or identify with.

Sorry for going off topic. Here have a happy ending:
