Look at the new "Mortal Kombat" movie. It’s a perfect example. They stuffed it with fanservice references and flashy fight scenes, but the story was paper-thin. The characters had zero depth because the writers assumed people just wanted to see Sub-Zero freeze someone. That’s the problem with these adaptations—studios see a built-in audience and figure they don’t need to bother with actual filmmaking. They just slap a well-known name on a generic plot and hope nostalgia carries it. I get that some adaptations work, like "The Last of Us" or "Sonic." But those are exceptions, not the rule. For every one of those, we get a dozen "Uncharted" movies where Tom Holland runs around looking confused, or "Assassin’s Creed" where the cool gameplay gets buried under boring exposition. The problem is that video games are interactive—they’re built around player choice and immersion. Movies are passive. When you try to force one into the other, you lose what made the game special in the first place, and you end up with a movie that pleases nobody. It’s not that games can’t be adapted. It’s that the current trend of rushing them out to cash in on name recognition is killing creativity in Hollywood. We’re getting less original stories and more lazy cash grabs. That hurts movies as a whole.
