I don't understand why people are so opposed to a Shepard movie. I mean I get it won't be your Shepard but that's really the only defense you have. And it's a very selfish defense at that.

Read some of my posts, they largely ignore the 'canon setting' properties of making a movie.

Just because you chose to ignore it doesn't mean I don't have one.

No, you just didn't have one. Michael Bay doesn't even make videogame adaptions, and most videogame adaptions aren't anything like his movies (most movies in general are like Bay's movies, really. Say what you will, but the man stands out )

My point in a nutshell
Movies based on video games almost ALWAYS SUCK.
I used Bay just to illustrate how stupid I find this whol thing.
Now excuse me I'm gonna go do other things that don't involve interacting with you.

Why are people so scared? So what if the movie sucks, it won't effect the video games... which actually sell.

I'm sad that nobody picked up on my Universe/Lore>Story. So what is the 'story of Shepard' is vastly different than our personal playthrough? What makes Mass Effect so awesome is the 'Universe.' The setting.

And Femshep.

Just sayin.

Ah yes, "Mass Effect: The Movie".....

Sounds better then the actual Spider-Man movies actually. I'd watch it.

Except for the part where it completely misses the point of Venom. IMO, he'd make a terrible 'hero', he plays best off of a goody-goody like Spidey.

@littlezack: I thought he was that executive. I could be wrong.

There are other things at stake besides Shepard. Wait until the lady in your avatar is turned into a monkey-like creature and only used for comic relief.  "Mesa like engines!"

the argument that im making is THE MASS EFFECT MOVIE will lack the decision making ability and punch of the me series, therefore it will not have the same appeal and would affect the mass effect series as a whole, a chain is as strong as its weakest link, im not saying the movie will be weak but i have a feeling

Yeah, the movie will undoubtedly will feature a male Shepard. Now THAT would actually ****** me off.... if I was female.

You don't even have to guess at this - Marvel's tried to make Venom a hero a few times, now. It...it doesn't work. At all.

It worked out for Alex Mercer, and he's a Spider-Man/Venom hybrid. Anti-hero would have been the correct course of action.

10,000 BC actually netted them a $100+ million dollar profit based on worldwide sales. I would think most movie studios would take that any day.

It didn't. On a $105 million budget and $270 million gross, it made them perhaps about $50-$70 million. You forget that theatres take about 50% of the ticket price. With international gross, the studio's share is even smaller due to distributors' share. 10,000 BC didn't flop and the studio didn't lose money, but it wasn't a stellar success.

Well, that is probably true, I didn't do much research beyond the Wikipedia page, but my ultimate point was that studios generally care about profitibility more than anything else. I'm not saying I hope it flops or turns out to be terrible, but if it eventually ends up as brainless and vapid as anything Michael Bay does, but still makes gazillions of dollars in the box office and from merchandising/DVD-Blu Ray sales, then that's a win in their book.

We may not like it, but like I said earlier upthread, this production really isn't about us anymore.

Anti-Hero was what they tried. Venom: Lethal Protector, they called. If you believe nothing else I ever say, believe this - Venom not being a villain doesn't work out. In-universe or OOC.

@Aris Ravenstar Legendary already said that Casey Hudson would be involved in the making of the movie. There is no way Casey would let any character go against what they were originally.

@JediMaster_Mu rph What's the difference between the canon argument and the decision making argument? It's the exact same argument because people that have played Mass Effect can either be happy to see something different from their own playthrough, or they can complain cause it's a canon. And people that are new to Mass Effect will never have experienced the decision making aspects of the game and could after they watched the movie to pique their initial interest. It's the same exact argument, just from a slightly different angle.

i lnow they are the same argument look at my earlier posts, having a canon shepard takes away from the mass effect series as a whole because the whole point is that there is not supposed to be a canon in mass effect, its about the players decisions...thats all im saying

[gamer_girl]

@JediMaster_Mu rph The goal of the movie is most likely to attract new fans as well as to give a nice looking, what I assume will be live action, version of something we've experienced, and to give us a new perspective with a Shepard that most likely isn't like the ones we made. It doesn't take away from the experience if it's not aiming to be the same experience.

Your barking up a scorched tree. Your argument made no sense. Because I can't choose what happens in the movie it instantly sucks? Dude, it's a movie for entertainment, not a phylosophical dilemma or conflicting literature ideals.

Sheesh.....

No it is not. The point of ME is to tell a story, your story. The ME movie's story won't be your. You're story is in the video game, not the movie. It was never about choices.

Thing is.... it's just a damn game. It really bothers you that much that BW creates an official canon for the series? It's just a game. It doesn't make your game any more real or fake.
