I’m sure this won’t be terrible.
Star Trek Beyond was pretty good.
Just keep Kurtzman the hell away, for the love of god.
Can’t wait for them to try and make Mass Effect without the Aliens somehow.
We already know what it’ll be like.
Halo rip. Rings of power rip. Witcher rip. Last of us rip.
Fast and the Furious had writers?
Any idea if this will be focused around Shepard or are they doing an original story in the same world?
FF has always been a bit brain dead but 9 I couldn’t even finish much less comprehend the series of seemingly random action scenes smashed together…
henry cavill for male shepard
Can’t wait for Shepard to be an obnoxious snarky Marvel character
I find it kind of funny that Hollywood is so creatively bankrupt this day and age and out of ideas that they have to turn to the video game market. Remember only like a decade ago when video games were bad and were the reason for all the violence in the world? Pepperidge fucking farms remembers.
Hyped, but expecting the worst.
After hiring complete unknowns for their expensive (and terrible) Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings adaptations, is Prime Video finally learning that you should hire people with previous experience working on successful projects?
I have as much faith in this as i had in Halo..
ZERO
I know Cavill is shepherding 40k for Amazon, but I also remember him hinting he was reading for Mass Effect. I think he’d be a fantastic Commander Shepherd, but also worried he would saturate his own market. Curious who they will cast and whether this is based on the games or something else, like the First Contact War era.
Oh the writer of fast and furious 9?! No way! How did we get so lucky
Vin Diesel is gonna kill it as Commander Shephard.
“The Reapers just don’t understand. It’s about family.”
$50 on it being femshep
Writing isn’t what I would go to people from Fast and Furious for.
Just do >not< try to convert the games into a show, that will not work.
Make a new story in the same ME-universe, but all new characters. And invest in proper costumes for Asari, Turians, Krogan, Salarians and Batarians, instead of low-quality CGI that ends up being nothing but an eyesore.
Would be cool if they have both protagonists, male and female Shepards, and they become more paragon and renegade as the story advances.
But will Shepard have a favorite store in the Citadel?
Im scared
Staring Bella Ramsey as Miranda Lawson
Mind Hunter is the only thing good that guy has done.
I’m deeply concerned this will suck in all the ways we absolutely know it will.
Its a Prime Video show. Sure it wont be badly written and than canceled after 2 seasons
fast and furious writer ☠️☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂
Hard to tell how to feel on this one.
On the one hand, streaming platforms tend to do a really shitty job with most of their original content. Not sure if it’s an industry-wide thing, but at least with Netflix shows usually start out where people make like 80% of normal, and it’s only at the third season that they start making 100%, which is why so many shows get canned after 1-2 seasons.
On the other hand, streaming platforms are probably the only place you’d find someone willing to even take a chance on something like this.
On the other other hand, this is Amazon we’re talking about. They have like 3 good shows: Hazbin Hotel, Vox Machina, and Invincible. Upload was pretty good the first season, but the second one felt like a rush job because they weren’t expecting to get picked up for a second season. Pretty much everything else they’ve made is just utter garbage.
The most important question is, have they played the games?
They are going to give it the tone of the Citadel DLC, won’t they
2 mass 2 effect.
Ooh… I’ve wanted this for so long, but know Amazon is known to super-politicize beloved stories. Witcher, Lord of the Rings… Mass Effect was my space epic compared to others’ Star Wars and Star Trek.
I’ve never seen Star Trek Beyond, since I don’t care for ST, but Mindhunter was insanely good!
The thing about Mass Effect is that it is very player-decisive, so if they were to adopt canon, it would have to be pre-Shepard, like telling the story of Commander Anderson and his rise to leadership or the original encounter with the Turians/Salarians/Asari.
I like adaptations introducing things I like to others, but hate they often change too much that the point of the original is lost.
