Firstly, reading the plot description on Wikipedia, this Rampage movie is gonna suck. It's nothing like the games; instead of people being mutated into giant creatures, it's regular animals being mutated into giants, and from the sound of it they're not even the focus; instead the focus is on some terrorist group that's mutating animals. If you're going to completely do away with the original source material outside of the names of the creatures, what's the point of even using Rampage besides name recognition?

Secondly, it never fails to amuse me that Bob is more excited about movies that stroke his nostalgia boner regardless of whether or not the movie is terrible. And his reasoning is flawed; 80s arcade games have little to no story so there's not really anything to make a movie on. At least the games that are adapted into movies have actual stories and characters. But of course, Bob hates those games so they don't matter.

OTOH, it's big, stupid, most likely plotless, and involves massive creatures wrecking the shit out of cityscapes and landmarks. I bet it makes $300 million in China.

Well, when you have "Da Rawk" instead of Adam Sandler, that automatically means your movie is suddenly more artistically worthwhile than something like Lady Bird or Phantom Thread.
 
What was cut that makes Steppenwolfe less good? Darkseid?

In the unlikely event Bob ever had kids, I would kill to see how those kids would rebel.

"Fuck you dad! I don't like Mario!"
"Your Superior Future is fascist!"
"Halo and Call of Duty are my favorite video games!"

Best part would be he couldn't even ignore them since they're his kids and they live in his house so he can't use that intellectually dishonest tactic he's so fond of. Too bad the chances of that happening are somewhere between nil and absolutely impossible.

Despite all his complaining about the media, he'll come around when they don't like something he hates.

What a fucking flake.

Bob's called the New Gods "nobody cares" characters with the exception of Darkseid. Meanwhile we live in a world where DC can make a Mister Miracle comic that sells better then a chunk of Marvel books and stores keep running into issues of not ordering enough. Edit: No really, it's not that far off from Amazing Spider-Man's usual numbers. Sure, that's now with Marvel shrinking but "NOBODY CARES" is a funny way to take that.

I don't know why he'd want Darkseid. He'll just call him a Thanos knock-off when he's not.

Which will STILL screw with the Monsterpocalypse adaption and keep the game from ever coming back like it should!

Argh!

Ok, :autism: over.

That's not even going into games like Katamari Damacy, Sins of a Solar Empire, Cave Story, Gunpoint...

If they're arguing that, then they're taking a lot of these youtubers out of context.

A game isn't that much to make when compared to the staggering sizes of their marketing budgets.

Which will be fucking :gold:because Darkseid seems to be a bigger threat than Thanos. Darkseid has a number of New God characters under him that can be featured before his eventual showdown with the League. From the MCU movies that have came out Thanos doesn't appear to have a lot other Marvel characters to align with. Loki will likely be in the anti-hero role and Ronan was killed in the first GotG movie.
