“Harley Quinn, but as a child” yeeeee…eah. I wish I could extra not go see this, just to get the point across about how mad the fans are. Man, this could have been so cool.
Some of the decisions on this film are just…yeesh. I don’t understand why Hollywood just won’t let someone who actually likes the material do this shit. You cannot just be a good director to adapt something, you have to actually care about and understand the source material. That’s completely missing from video game movies 95% of the time.
I am personally convinced that Hollywood is trapped under the thumb of executives that “know better.” They force terrible decisions and limit the creative vision of everyone else involved. When it works, they think it was only themselves that made it work. When it fails, it was the directors, actors, other crew, or even the fans that were at fault. I firmly believe that was the biggest change with the mcu. Once the original chapter was over, they couldn’t stay back anymore and started taking control again. I saw the new Deadpool, and I thought it was great. I firmly believe that’s because Ryan Reynolds is a big part and makes most of the calls, because he’s a creative. When you get a creative, they have passions that help the vision form, the executives should only be tasked with finding people with a passion for the current project. While sometimes that doesn’t work, it’s almost always because the creative teams passions didn’t line up with the project.
I have to believe Hollywood buys IP assuming they’re going to capture the core audience of the IP. So they think they’re being smart by completely pivoting and subverting expectations in the adaptation to court a new audience. So they’ll get IP audience plus new audience double win. Unfortunately, the IP core audience has certain expectations for the IP and when you abuse those expectations they don’t watch it.
Like if you buy rights to the Doom franchise, and then produce a Shakespearean adaptation of the merchant of Venice set on Mars… It might be a great movie, but it’s not going to get the Doom fans to watch

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour among Thieves was done by fans of D&D, and it really shows.
It was such a good movie, too. Lots of varied plot stuff going on. Sucks that it did poorly.

Everything has to appeal to everyone, because it’s not enough to make lots of money, they have to make all the money.
This is why I say capitalism is to blame for pretty much everything.
