The game with no plot is getting a second movie

I'd totally go to see it in the cinema, assuming there is lots of fun to be had

Pft.

Same, especially if they end up using "Doom Slayer" instead of Doomguy.

I will fight you, Xeep.

Doom Slayer is the new protagonist who looks like a scrapped Halo Master Chief.

It was the feeling that they were doing all of it to play "safe" that really bothered me.. back when the game was released it was anything but "safe", there were so many things the movie could have toned up without any effort. Making it some movie about a serum or something, rofl, they underestimated the fact that almost everyone that watched it went in to see hell breaking through a portal on Mars and a marine that didn't need special serum to be a badass.. when someone needs drugs to be able to kill a few zombies and take on The Rock it'll never be as special as a dismissed soldier who was doing maintenance while his friends got killed and goes into a blood thirsty rage as a result, haha.

I've got the feeling they'll get the "hell" part right... but then mess up on the edge and tone.

You missed Mortal Kombat, btw.. that movie was glorious and has aged in a way that made it still glorious but for different reasons. ;P

Yeah ok so you were really young when you saw it

I know I am supposed to bash the new movie bc it's a new circle-jerking trend, but I can't, because I am legit excited and happy for these news. I believe I am going to love the movie no matter how shitty it would turn out.

And I feel like this line alone has me singled out and ready to be fired at by meaningless insults and two three "Who cares, your taste sucks anyways, lawl".

Either way, onto the serious stuff: There is a way they can make the new Doom movie good. Actually, more than one ways they can make it good. The franchise doesn't have much of a plot, but the newest game offers a lot of lore to fuck around with: a movie that can probably fit in the events before Doomslayer wakes up and Doomslayer's rampage (either out-game and in-game, doesn't matter) is probably going to be more than enough. There is the whole deal with Night Sentinels, the deal with Olivia, Hayden... maybe they can fit in Betruger somewhere?

Now, rationing the amount of combat and story is going to be a challenge to the movie guys. They need enough blitz, bling, booms, and blood to appeal to the fans (who are NEVER going to be satisfied), but they need enough things going on so it doesn't seem stupid. Im wondering what does Mick Gordon say on all of this; maybe some world-class djent (I am probably overestimating this, I don't listen to djent in the first place) could work wonders.

I know you are all probably wondering how "Doom" out of all games can form a sensible story. Isn't the newest game just rip 'n' tear and no talk? Well, at the surface it is, but those who spend a minute or two reading the background stuff and closely watching the cutscenes or whatever could gather a story worthy of a movie. This might be me being just optimistic, but something else tells me ther is a good chance it will all turn out fine and dandy.

Either way, holding up my thumbs, am going to check the news about it probably every week or two from now on. Seems like a trend worth following for me, now that Ready Player One is out.

Hahahaha parallel thinking! lol that's the exact scene that comes to mind when I think of the goriest scene from a movie. I remember when I watched Dead Alive for the first time, i had no idea it was going to be that ridiculous.

That's a good point, Korbi,

This movie could entirely be about the Doom universe and the UAC's relationship to it, rather than a first person story seen through the eyes of the nameless guy you play as in the game. I could see that working well, if they are willing to tell the story from an alternate perspective.

If the comments in that article are to believed then both the director and writer are women as well, suddenly I'm interested in seeing how this turns out!

Well it IS happening at a time when Rule63 is being applied across the board with regards to Marvel characters and said comics magically becoming socially conscious and when Liberals are starting to yell at Japanese to make their anime more "inclusive" as well.. along with the latest Ghostbusters.. can you really blame them?

The atmosphere where people knee jerk and fire prematurely was created through personal experience.. even if I don't agree with writing a movie off as an insincere effort when there's not even a trailer to go by, I can see and understand why people do it.
