I think it would work really well as a tv series, but of course I'm also thinking of having a lot of episodes, some of which are more casual than others, and some of which focus on a single character.

ME2 is more of a TV series, because the recruitment/loyalty quests make it rather episodic.

ME1 could work well as a movie if you cut the sidequests and merged some of the various planets.

ME3 I'd see as being it's own trilogy. Earth + Krogan part 1, Coup + Rannoch + Thessia Part 2, Cerberus + Earth Part 3, or something like that.

This (especially the ME3 treatment suggested) sounds like it could be awesome.  And ME2 was what I was thinking of as far as episodic TV goes.

Agreed. But even if they would consider making it into a serie, i only trust it into the hands of HBO. they made some pretty good tv-series.

To be honest I feel a mass effect series should be animated, because I doubt they could manage to have half the things in the game without it looking really weird or being cut for budget.

Maybe,  Avatar: The Last Airbender serves as a good example. Good as an animated show, crap as a live action-movie.

At this juncture, I can't say I'm interested in either a movie or a TV show. I've no interest in watching what somebody else's Shepard would say or do.

[Matchy Pointy]

I would say ME is better as a game.

Well, anything's bad when it's done by M. Night Shyamamalananan.

I dunno, I liked Unbreakable, myself. He never did go back and do a second and third film in that series, though, it was supposed to be an "origin movie."

[SpamBot2000]

Of course it would. The movie has absolutely zero chance of not sucking. There is not enough time in a movie. Simple as that.

[Wolfva2]

Look, all they have to do is get Joss Whedon to direct and it'll be great as either a movie OR a tv series. Even a musical!

[Argentoid]

Of course.

If the musical episode happens in continuity I'll smack him.

[dublin omega 223]

TV series would be so much better than a movie in my opinion.

[thehomeworld]

No because they couldn't even be bothered to plan out their game series muchless keep known things consistent they would do even worse with a tv series. I also don't hold any hope for what they'll do if they make a movie how badly they'll mess their lore up more.

I really don't understand how people want the Mass Effect movie/tv show to be about Shepard. It makes no sense. His story has already been told through the three games and the movie or tv show will not do it justice at all. It would make more sense to tell a different story in the Mass Effect universe. It would leave it more open for the producers to create their own story and it would work much better. Hasn't it been said many times that they are done with Shepard's story anyway? Why would people want them to have a Shepard that may not make the same decisions, have the same romances, etc... as we did? It makes no sense to me.

It's not "the people" who decided the ME movie was going to be about Shepard. It was the producers.

And it makes no sense to me either.

Because Babylon 5 was already on TV

[WNxPowder]

my only problem is knowing whats going to happen, trying to compare the game to the movie and hating the movie because it didn't have what i wanted.

I've actually a planned out the entire ME TV show in my head, every episode ends with a choice or a interrupt, voted on by the viewers.

[ShallowlLife9871]

Check out simongenius1 channel on youtube. he did a seris on a Shepard orgian film [ his idea for how it work.] and he and other ME fans are doing a cartoon episode adapation of Game ONE called Spectre Status. two episodes are online now.
and the best thing is, he and the people who work on it are always open to surgestions and input.

I think this is my biggest problem with the idea. The way my Shepard looks is also a big part of it, because she's now too familiar as a character in the MEU I play. I just won't bother accepting anyone else's. 

[FlyingSquirrel]

It probably would be, yes. Though as pointed out, a movie could still be succesful on its own terms by paring down the story and characters quite a bit. ME1 could probably be compressed into just Eden Prime, Shepard becoming a Spectre, Virmire, and the Battle of the Citadel. Liara could already be on Eden Prime investigating the beacon when Shepard gets there and then Wrex and Garrus join up as in the game, and then Shep gets sent to Virmire right away. There wouldn't be time for much character developmment beyond Shepard and probably one or two crew members, but it could still be successful as a loosely adapted sci-fi movie.

In terms of what really makes Mass Effect interesting for me - the depth and detail of the galaxy, the character interactions, and the chance to shape Shepard's personality and principles - the third would obviously be off the table in any non-game format, and the first two would lend themselves better to a TV series where things can unfold more slowly. At least some of the side missions could make for credible stand-alone episodes - BDTS certainly, some of the ME1 intrigue on the Citadel, most of the loyalty/recruitment missions in ME2, Grissom Academy, the asari monastery, Leviathan, and probably quite a few others.

The one downside to television is that it can run into trouble when the main storyline requires a clear and definite ending. A TV series structured around the Reaper threat the way the games are could not just go on and on - at some point the galactic civilizations either stop the Reapers or they die. They'd either have to tone down the scale of the Reaper threat (maybe along the lines of a single-season "big bad" like they tended to do on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or agree ahead of time that the show will end after a certain number of seasons.

Hell yeah it would, especially if I'm watching it on the Xbox One. After all, for the first time, my TV and I are going to have a relationship.

I wonder: will Kinect be able to detect whether you're hungry and automatically order a pizza for you?
